I did a scan of the census indexes at Ancestry.com for 1830, 1840 and 1850 for Walker County and 1850 for Hancock County. This is what I found so far: 1830 Census for Walker County (just listings of heads of household): Jones: John, Sinclair, William #1, William #2 No James, Lee, Lewis, Lovell or Young 1840 Census for Walker County (just listings of heads of household): James: Abner, Pleasant, Saml, Sherrod Jones: Elizabeth, Henry S., James A., John, Sarah, Wallace, William #1, William #2 Young: John No Lee, Lewis or Lovell 1850 Census for Walker County (listings of number of all persons of the same surname: James:0 Jones: 74 "Jane": 6 (not sure if this is a typo for either James or Jones) "Janes": 3 (not sure if this is a typo for either James or Jones) Lee: 0 Lewis: 3 (and I believe they're mine) Lovell: 0 Young: 0 1850 Census for Hancock County (listings of number of all persons with the same surname): James: 36 Jones: 0 "Janes": 13 (not sure if this a typo for James or Jones) Lee: 0 Lewis: 0 Lovell: 0 Young: 13 One thing it seems to me is that the John Young family of the 1840 Walker County census may have been in the part of the county that was used to form Hancock (Winston) County. I'll have to do more research in the census to be sure of that but it looks that way so far. Either that or the John Young family up and left Walker County altogether prior to 1850. Here are my Cullman County (and area) surnames and ancestors: James (only a hunch but I suspect I have this ancestry. Also this is a collateral line in Jefferson County connected with the Jones, Fulmer and Faucette families there) Jones: so far just my gg-grandmother, Elizabeth "Betsie" P(aralee?) Jones Young whose parents are still unknown to me. But also a collateral line in Jefferson Co as I stated above. Lee: (only a hunch but I suspect we have direct Lee ancestry as well. For now I know that my great-grandfather Adolphus "Dolphus" Ervin/Irvin Young had a first wife (who was not my great-grandmother) - Mary Elizabeth Lee, daughter of David J. Lee, granddaughter of Leander Lee who was originally from NC (county so far unknown to me) then to Gilmer Co, GA (1840 & 1850 censuses). Lee is also a direct line of my Roy cousins in Jefferson Co. They connect to the Lees of Shelby Co, AL. Lewis: my ggg-grandparents John & Mary Hale(Hall?) Lewis (originally from SC? then to Haralson Co, GA eventually to the Cullman Co area; my gg-grandparents James Clark & Mary Jane Lovell Lewis then to my great-grandmother - Mary Ellen Lewis - Adolphus Ervin Young's second wife. James Clark Lewis, Mary Jane Lovell Lewis & Mary Ellen Lewis Young are all buried in Vance Cemetery, Jones Chapel, Cullman County. Lovell: my ggg-grandparents Elijah E. & Mary Ann Davis Lovell - also originally from the Gilmer/Rabun/Fannin counties area in GA - same as Leander Lee. They are both buried at Jones Chapel Cemetery, Cullman County. Young: my gg-grandparents, Wesley & Elizabeth "Betsie" P(aralee?) Jones Young; my great-grandparents Adolphus Ervin & Mary Ellen Lewis Young; my grandmother: Zora Belle Young Stolarski Jernigan of Jefferson Co, AL. Wesley Young's parents are also unknown to me. I also don't know when or where either Wesley or Betsie P Jones Young died and I don't know where either of them are buried. Barry Jernigan Murfreesboro, TN
