Hello List My most wanted ancestors are the parents of Henry W. McBride b July 15 1801 PA d May 3 1870 AL. He is buried in the Colee Cemetery in Autauga Co.,AL. Marriage records of Dallas Co.,AL, February 03,1842 lists Henry McBride b PA married Rachael F. Tommer or (Tommee ) born in GA. Henry is found on the 1850 census of Dallas Co.,AL 1860 Census of Bibb Co., AL and then I find him on the 1870 Mortality Schedule for Baker Co.,AL There is no Baker Co.now but was made into Chilton Co. which is next door to Autauga Co. where he is buried at Colee Cemetery Henry McBride 70 W M b PA. d May, was a farmer died of Pneumonia. It has just struck me that I dont have them on any 1870 Census,guess I will have to search Baker and Autauga for Rachel McBride and boys. 1880 Census of Autauga Co., Rachel the widow of Henry W. McBride is living with her son Hiram Weaver McBride and wife Sarah. Henry W. McBride was 41 years old when he married Rachel and she was 21 years old. You would think by the age of 41 he would have been married before and had other children!? What brought him from PA to AL ? Was he living in Baker Co.,Al at his death or was he visiting Family there? Some believe he is the son of Archibald Mc Bride b Penn. or of Ulster, Ireland and Agnes Or Nancy Elliot b Penn. or of Ulster, Ireland. These McBride or of Allegheny County, PA. If Henry W. McBride is the son of Archibald McBride then Henry would have had 1st wife Lylie, 2nd wife Jane Elliot This could answer my question of his being so much older than Rachel when they married. Our Henry W.McBride had 3 sons names Charles Henry, A. James ,and Hiram Weaver ,which is our line who came to Texas. Thank You Much Jo McBride djm@etex.net

I'm looking for information on a Robert Johnston. He lived in Selma some time between 1830 & 1870. Can anyone help? Thanks, James

On Saturday, April 15th, 2000 there will a historic highway marker dedication ceremony in Morrisville, North Carolina. The marker commemorates the Battle of Morrisville which took place on April 13th, 1865. Several Alabama units were involved: 51st Ala. Partisan Rangers, 1st, 3rd, 9th, and 12th Ala. Cavalry. Company F of the 3rd Alabama, in particular, was from Dallas County. In Live Oak Cemetery there is a marker dedicated to soldiers killed in some of these late war battles. If you are interested in this event or are interested in these units, please feel free to send me email or check out my website: www.mindspring.com/~nixnox Thanks, Ernest Dollar

In looking at a sheet entitled "Historic Selma", I see this entry for OLD LIVE OAK CEMETERY: Discover the monuments to Vice President William Rufus King and Congressman Benjamin Sterling Turner. Highway 22 West - West Dallas Avenue. (334) 875-7541. Probably calling the number would result in a mailing address. Best regards to all. Another Blevins researcher, Irma Evans (in Houston) P.S. My Blevinses are buried in a family cemetery out from Selma at Pleasant Valley, but I have paced the entire area of Live Oak looking for one other Blevins without success.
