Just wanted to let those interested know about the upcoming Waters family reunion. This is for the descendants of John Robert and Martha Ellen (Cash) Waters. The reunion will be held on Sunday July 29 2001 at the Lawrence Co AL Veteran's Park(near East Lawrence Schools). The meal will begin at approximately 1pm. Those interested, please email me for directions to the park. A covered dish would be welcomed. Also bring any genealogical research items. I am going to try and have an updated copy of my booklet ready for those who wish to look at it. Thanks Leigh Waters Brown [email protected]

HI Folks, I might be confused, but what is this List about, genealogy of county residents, or Cullman Co. history? Jayne, fill me in, I don't mean to be out of line. Thanks, Jackie Mc

     Hey Folks,            I'm a new member of this List, and have talked with your Moderator, Jayne, on another one, and want to know if there are any McMinns on the List, as well, from Cullman Co.           I manage a List on Rootsweb as well, and have for 3 years, and am working on all McMinns throughout the USA, Canada, Scotland, Australia, and elsewhere that I can find.           If you, from Cullman, can offer any info, on your lines, it will be greatly appreciated.             Jackie M. McMinn ( a he type )                Harvest, AL                  Madison Co., AL

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO ANSWER THE E-MAIL. MANY SLAVES CHANGED THERE NAME AFTER BEING FREED.ACCORDING A PAPER DONE ON THE BLACK HISTORY OF CULLMAN-BARNEY ELLIOT WAS OWNED BY THE PHILLIPS FAMILY,ALSO THIS INFO WAS PASSED DOWN THROUGH MY THROUGH ORAL TRADITION.MOST SLAVES WERE OWNED BY POOR FARMERS. THE INFO REGARDING BARNEY ELLIOT CAN BE VERFID BY READING A REVIEW OF CULLMAN BLACK HISTORY BY DWAIN WHITE AUGUST 14,1978.THE PAPER CAN BE LOCATED AT WALLACE STATE.

Inga, This has been forwarded to Michael Bates. As far as overseers, I would assume the best ways to locate information about overseers would be to locate records from the plantations (of which few to none are likely available except in rare instances) and to check the census data. I would expect that overseers would live on the property of or nearby to the plantation owner. The agricultural census data would likely give you more information would likely give you more information about the farms in that area, what life on those farms was like, etc. I would also recommend you touch base with Bob Davis -- I am forwarding this to him as well.
