Some of my ancestors (the Hardys and Ragsdales) left Union/Fairfield Counties, SC in the early 1800's and supposedly went to Alabama. I am looking especially for John H. Ragsdale, Samuel Hardy (and wife Elizabeth) as well as John's son (and Samuel and Elizabeth's grandson), Samuel Norman Ragsdale. Would appreciate any leads! Thanks, Liz Forman

Thanks Linda. I do know what you mean about changes...when we were painting and wallpapering my room, I put some things away, so they wouldn't get scattered. I don't know if I will ever get them all properly sorted again! Arlene

I know what you mean about getting old. Sometimes I wonder where my brain went. I will look as I am putting away all my "stuff" today and see if I can recall the name. I got a new compuer and because of a larger monitor had to get a new desk for it so you know what that means! I am still looking for Bennett information and Boyles, Tadlock and Craig. Take care. Linda

Hi Linda, I don't have a Tadlock...and can't recall who it was I was looking for, the last time we chatted. Guess I am getting old! Hope you can recall the right name for me! Thanks, Arlene

Arlene, Did you every find out what you were looking for on Mary?? Tadlock? I haven't been able to do much on the Tadlocks recently so I am a little lost as to where everyone is. Just checking - hope to go to Selma in the next two months. Got to make a trip to WV first. Take care Linda

I am still looking for any and all references in Dallas Co. AL to families by the name of McCULLOUGH, McCULLOCH, McCULLERS, McCULLA, and any other variation. Moses McCullough was in Dallas County possibly as early as 1837. He had sons named F. Moses, James and Charlie. Any information at all will be most appreciated. Thanks, Arlene

I am looking for information on H.E. Duffee born in 1855 Dallas Co. Ala. If you have any information please contact me. Thanks

Mr. Sharp, I was wondering if you and I have been in touch before. I am researching the CHANCE family, but some of the branches stem out with SHARPE'S, QUARLES, and plenty of other's as I am sure you know how that is. One reason that I am sending you this message is, there is a cemetery that I have been to and have a list of all occupant's. It is at least 75 % CHANCE and the families. Everyone in there I have found are related directly or indirectly. Though the are a few that I don't... One of them being a Boda WHATLEY. (Son of M. & A. WHATLEY) Do you have any idea who this person may be. MAy more specifically, my question should be do you have any idea how he may be connected to the CHANCE, QUARLES, SHARPES, WOOD'S, PARRISH'S or GODWIN'S? There are some other's in the cemetery, but these are the main families. The cemetery is Cedar Creek Cemetery in Lowndes Co. Look foward to hearing from you.

My g-g-g-uncle, Chesley Gwin (aka Chess and Charley) m1. 22 Mar 1850 to Fannie Bell; m2. to the widow Blevins. Your Matilda Edgar Phillips (who married William Blevins) died in 1837, so SHE is not this Widow Blevins, but her daughter-in-law could've been, especially since her widower, William, died in Dallas Co. where he likely would've been staying with his son/daughter-in-law were he ill or incapacitated. Next is my paragraph on this g-g-g-uncle: 4.4--Chesley (aka Chess, Charley) Gwin; [Was his name Charles Chesley Gwin? Uncle James' records showed his name as Chesley (aka Chess), but Rev. Cotten's diary calls him Charley, who, in Cotten's 22 March 1850 entry, was "getting married tonight to Miss Bell at Bouge Chitto".] m1. 22 Mar 1850 at Bouge Chitto (I asked my dad, Adrian S. Gwin, where Bouge Chitto is, and he said he guessed it was somewhere on Bouge Chitto Creek, which his family had to cross every time they went from McDowell to Selma and back--he says it's pronounced BOH-guh CHIT-uh Creek) to Fannie Bell, many ch.; m2.
