My Great Grandmother was born Emma Lugenia Grier, according to her death certificate I recently obtained. Census sources say she was born in Alabama in 1874, and she died in Elmore County in July of 1930. So far as I can tell, her father was George Washington Grier (the middle name is less sure than the first). Census sources say he was born in Georgia in 1844. He died in 1915, probably in Elmore County, Alabama. I've seen one census entry placing George Grier and family in Shelby County when Emma was about 8 years old. But more than that I don't yet know. However, given the locations of counties, they could very well have migrated from Georgia and have family connections in Randolph County, Alabama. = Steve = -- Steve W.

Dear Steve, I can`t remember whether I wrote you before or not. My maiden name is Jackson. I grew up in Autuaga Co, Al, the granddaughter of Dr Stonewall W Jackson. His father was Wingate Jackson of Elmore County who had a daughter who married a Thornton in Elmore County. Wingate`s father was Philip Jackson of Hancock and then later Spalding Co, Ga. He had a daughter who married a Culver. I don`t know if you and I are related but it sounds like we have the same family background somewhat. I presently live in Birmingham but have three brothers in Montgomery. One is Winget, one Curtis Eugene (goes by Curt) and James Edward who lives on the Maxwell Base. Would love to hear from you about the Jackson family if you think we have mutual family. Sincerely, Pauline (Polly) Jackson Clarke
