There must be someone that is researching or knows something about the Mathews family from around Selma and Cahaba. I have been working on this for years and have come to a brick wall. Just any piece of information might be the one that helps me get beyond this wall. With all due thanks, Kay

Please excuse the cross-posting. I am seeking information concerning the identity of Rev. William Moore, buried in the Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church cemetery (Dallas Co.) in Row XIII. His headstone reads "Rev. William Moore, who died Nov. 4, 1831, aged 40 years, 6 mos, 4 days" A Rev.William Moore officiated at the wedding of Philip Milhous & Rebecca Vasser 11 May 1825 (Dallas Co.). I found the abstract of the will of William Moore (Moor) Oct. 22, 1831 [will proved on January 2, 1832, Lowndes Co.] Although the short span of time between the will of William Moor(e) of Lowndes and the death of Rev.William Moore may be merely a coincidence, I know that there are relatives of William Moor buried quite close to Rev. William Moore. Any and all suggestions appreciated ! Stephanie Stoermer

Seeking transcript of data contained in the 1860 census of Dallas County, AL town of Selma on Eli Shortridge and Joel Shortridge. Your assistance in greatly appreciated. Muncie

Hello Dallas County, Presently, members of the HENRY surname list are building a web site that contains an index of their HENRYs. When completed, it should be helpful to many HENRY family historians. I have been asked to conduct a search for links to HENRY online resources like personal web pages, and county and local genealogy association resource pages. If you have substantial HENRY information on your web page or know of HENRY information on your county or other local web site, please send the links to Judy Henry at jchenry@flash.net , so that they might be included in the new HENRY site. If you have some HENRY data that is not on a website, you may wish to subscribe to the list by sending an email to: HENRY-L-request@rootsweb.com containing as the only text the word "subscribe" (no quotes) in the body of the message. After you get a message confirming your subscription, post your information by email to HENRY-L@rootsweb.com . Thank you.

If anyone has access to the 1870 or 80 Dallas Co census - I have a major brick wall there. My great grandmother was Mattie (JACKSON) BRASINGTON. She was born in Selma in 1881. She told me that her father was Thomas JACKSON, who worked for a Selma newspaper. I know that her mother was a FLOYD because when both of her parents died when she was very young, she went to live with her grandparents, the FLOYDs. I have been given info on marriages and burials in Selma which suggest that my great grandmother's parents were William T. (Thomas?) JACKSON and Kate FLOYD. Any census info on JACKSON and FLOYD families from 1870 and 80 would be most appreciated. Bill McIntosh Charleston, SC

MACK, John Christopher - John C. Mack and his wife Mary Jane RUSSELL were counted in the 1830 census for Dallas Co., AL. They bought property in the corner that later became Lowndes Co., AL.

[Reposted on behalf of Suzanne Coats. Reply to coats@localink4.com] Kay, In looking through the book , Selma, Her Institutions And Her Men, I find no mention of any incident where a "muskmelon" or any thing was thrown at Union prisioners being released. As far as I can tell, the stockade where the Union prisoners were held was"..... just north of the Selma and Meridian Railroad track, on the east of the Range Line Road, near where the Matthews cotton factory now stands......" (this was written in 1879). "......this stockade had been built and used by the Confederates...." but, apparently, had been emptied by the Union forces on or before April 2, 1865 (day of Battle of Selma) because the Union used it to imprison 2700 Confederates taken at the Battle of Selma. They were kept in that place until the following Saturday when they were released and allowed to go wherever they would or could. About 10 pm on Sunday night (April 2, 1865) after the Battle was over and the Union forces were victorious, the first house to be burned was a 3 story brick building on the corner of Water and Broad streets. The 3rd story of that building had been used by the Confederates to house Union men and "skulkers" from the Confederate service. It was reported that the fire was started by a man named Gibson who had been held there. I am not sure, but reading about the Battle in this book, I would inagine the gates of the Confederate stockade were thrown open by Union forces on that fateful Sunday, and Union prisoners were released and were replaced with Confederates. The books also reports that Gen Wilson (Union) and Gen. Forest met on the 4th of April at Cahaba for the purpose of arranging for an exchange of prisoners, but no definite arrangement was made. About 400 wounded Federal soldiers"..... were left behind in Selma, all huddled together in the different stories of the present hardware store of John K. Goodwin..." (remember, this was written in 1879.) Of course, in a matter of about 2 weeks the Union wounded had been removed to Union boats and transferred to Mobile. I am very sorry that nothing was mentioned about the incident in which you are interested. Keep trying because, certainly, this is not the only accounty of the Battle of Selma. Good luck in your search!
