I too have been looking for the parents and/or siblings of James Stewart Foshee. I have an old newspaper article says that he came to the area from GA and some researchers think he was born there. However, there is nothing to support this and it is contradicted by more than one census which records his birthplace as NC. I think it is more plausible that James Stewart born in NC went to GA (where he met the Parkers) and then moved to AL. Early AL census records show James Stewart Foshee and a William Foshee (Fooshee/Foushee etc) in the same area. Since they are the only two Foshee's listed in the same county, where the population numbers are still low due to lack of development and Native American conflicts, I think theses two men are likely related, but not sure how. I have copies of census records and land records for James Stewart Foshee, as well as descendant and related family info, should you need it. My direct lineage comes down through to my grandfather Clarence E. "Clant" Foshee of Red Level AL (died 1967) and his first wife Paulyne Harper.
