    3. Does anyone know about this family, Joseph Vann b. 1770 SC married Sarah______. Children; Margaret, Phebe, Sophie, Mariah, Sytha, Elizabeth Adeline, Mary Ann, Matson, Joseph W. Joseph Vann came to Dallas Co about 1818, is he related to the Edward Vann that was in Montgomery Co? There seems to be a connection but can't prove it. I believe they may have migrated from Edgefield SC with members of Moseley family. Any help appreciated.

    3. I have a copy of the Book entitled, SELMA: Her Institutions and Her Men by John Hardy. This covers the period from c 1815 to 1879. The book was reproduced in 1978 with a new introduction and an index. He has a good bit of information which I have found useful in my Craig research. I will be happy to do look-ups for others.

    1. [ALDALLAS-L] Roll Call: Saffold, Phillips, Brown, Robbins, Tate
    2. Michael Saffold

    3. Reuben Saffold and Mary Evelyn Phillips migrated from Morgan County, Ga. (he was born in Wilkes County, Ga. in 1788) to the Mississippi Territory in 1813. Reuben signed the original Alabama state constitution, and settled in Pleasant Hill, Dallas County, Ala. wehre his house still stands. Four generations of his family lived in Dallas County until his 3 great grandson, Ray Phillips Saffold III, moved back to Georgia in the 1950s. (I tease my husband that they'd seen enough of the Western Migration Trail and turned around and headed back home. Of course, other branches of Reuben's family moved west and elsewhere.) Reuben's son, Benjamin Franklin Saffold, married Mary Ellen Brown. Their son, Ray Phillips Saffold I, married Camilla Bettie Lou Robbins. Ray and Cammie's son, Ray Phillips Saffold II, married Mary Frances Tate. The Saffold, Phillips, Brown, Robbins and Tate families all came to Dallas County via the usual pattern: Virginia>North Carolina>South Carolina>Georgia.

    1. [ALDALLAS-L] AVANT, BLANN & SHADDOCK
    2. Carol Smith

    3. Roll Call report I have a unique situation in that 3 of my family's main lines are from Dallas County, AL. Francis AVANT's widow and children arrived in Dallas County ca. 1828. Francis Avant's children were Catherine (married David D. DUMAS); Mary (married James DOWNES); Nancy (married John G. O'NEAL); Lucy (married William HALL); Nathan (married Theodocia WILSON) and John C. Avant (my ggggrandfater - my mother's paternal line) married Nancy MEREDITH in Dallas Co., AL in 1841. The Avant men moved to Arkansas. To my knowledge only Nancy and her family remained in the county till death. Silas L. BLANN first appears in Dallas County in the 1820 Census. He married Elizabeth AVERYT ca. 1816. They raised their family in the county. There children are Lorany (married Benjamin Franklin GRAVES); William Young Henry (married Lucinda Smith ROARK); Tabitha (married Thomas H. BOOTH); Frances (married William F. Jones); Aesenath (married Thomas Jefferson PARNELL) Alfred (married Jane E. KELLEY); Thomas (married Alabama KELLEY); Mary (married a DAVIDSON); Susan (married Lindsey M. BOOTH); Silas L. Blann, Jr. who married Elizabeth JONES; and Stephen who married Susan CALDWELL. It is the W.Y.H. Blann and Lucinda Roark lines that moved to Arkansas that is my mother's maternal line. Samuel F. SHADDOCK, Sr. was in Dallas County by the 1830 Census. His son Burrell SHADDOCK married Sarah REYNOLDS in 1832 in Dallas County, AL. The family immigrated to Arkansas by 1850. This is my husband's father's maternal line. Happy to share with others my information. My website: http://www.cei.net/~ccsmith/csindex.htm has my genealogy information on these lines there.
