Hello, If someone has the book "Selma: Her institutions and her men" could you look in the index and see if there are any West's or Thompson's listed. I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much, Denise from Utah

West has 9 entrys andThompson has 11. Could you narrow it down a little more and tell me the given name or do you want all of them? Suzanne Shuttleworth Coats Forest, ms. "Denise I.

Live Oak Cemetery. I'm attempting to find out where a cemetery listing is kept for Live Oak Cemetery in Selma, Al. The cemetery has block markings that are normally used to help locate specific areas within large cemeteries. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tom, Have you got any answers? I am interested in any Mathews in Dallas County during that time period.I would appreciate it if you would pass on any leads. Thank you. Kay

I am looking for info on a Dr. Clarence Joseph Pentecost who had a practice in Selma, about 1885-1920's. I know nothing else about him and my library has no records for Alabama. He graduated from Med-school from Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Does anyone know where I might write for some kind of records? Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Debbie

I am looking for information on Charlie Williams (about 1860 "s). His wife was name Sarah. They had a daughter name Winnie. Winnie married Nelson Flowers. Winnie & Nelson had a daughter name Sarah. I would appreciate any information that can be provided on Charlie or Sarah. Thanks in Advance, Herman Walker

Rosenelle, Hello, I wished I could give you some information in return for what I am about to ask. Could you please share what you have on Molette's ben(d) including pictures with me??? Without taking a lot of space to explain-My great grandfather's name was Charles (Stonewall) JACKSON Mann. His mother was Eliza Susan Molette (Mann) Harrison (b. 1848 d 1931)- granddaughter of William P(age) Molette. Eliza and her second husband William Henry Harrison and infant child are buried at Molette's ben(d) along with William P -his wife Margaret, son John and his wife Susan. Charles was estranged from the family from birth as it appears unitl he was about 14 when he showed up in Alabama un announced. I gathered from land, census and tax records that the plantation had to have been large. I also gathered that the family was well placed in society- which makes my great grandfather's story even more odd other than how else would a well placed southern family handle an unwanted child???There is conflicting stories as to if Charles was born at Mollete's Bend or in Germany and his year of birth- some in the family say he was born in 1871, others say 1875 but they all agree it was in May. Eliza had a brother Charles Caldwell Molette that died age 16 so we figured that is where the name Charles came from- But Jackson was/is a mystery. Most of his life he was called Charles Stonewall Jackson so we figured Stonewall Jackson was the reason- but my aunts and uncles say the Stonewall came from his temperment- he was stubborn as a mule and about as hard headed as one. Those traits must be genetic because my father who was also named Charles Jackson Mann took after him to a T. Thanks for any thing you can share- Sandra Mann Oakley

Thank you for any help that you can give me. Greta

I know there's a Patricia Rayford but I don't know the address. I'll find my Orrville phonebook and get back with you later...The reason I know she lives there...my name is Patricia and my husband's first name was Rayford,,and we got some of her mail once. Will see what I can find. Pat Glowe1999@aol.com wrote: > Does anyone have any information on the Rayford family located in Orville, AL?

Hi Linda: Charlotte sent me the actual census for 1830, but I've only gotten a written copy of the 1840. I fully agree that it is quite suspicious about the "D. Groves", and another thing, my Isaac McElroy is also shown in the 1840 census, and he was Davenport Graves' father-in-law. The written copy for D. Groves I have shows him to be in the white male category 40-50. By 1840 he would have been about 54, so this is what is throwing me off. Would you mind checking again for me to see if it really might show him in the 50-60 category. And, I understand, mistakes were made. And, I probably mentioned before, I found a record where Davenport was witnessing a will in late 1840 in Dallas Co, so I know he was around. I really do appreciate your help, more than I can say. Leslie Hill

Does anyone have any information on the Rayford family located in Orville, AL?

i know i have corresponded with you before. go back to your copy of the census that you received from linda and look at this entry: Groves, D. State : AL County : Dallas Co. Year : 1840 Page # : 089 as you can see, he is not too far from f.s. graves in the same county. he may be the one you are looking for. (let me know) Graves, F. S. State : AL County : Dallas Co. Year : 1840 Page # : 086 Graves, P. S. State : AL County : Dallas Co. Year : 1840 Page # : 070 LHill42731@aol.com wrote: > > Linda, > > Yes, I just received a copy of it today, but thank you so much for offering. > I am overwhelmed with the help many of you offer.

Linda, Yes, I just received a copy of it today, but thank you so much for offering. I am overwhelmed with the help many of you offer. So nice. Still have to find him (Davenport Graves) in 1840, and prove his wife died that year. I know he witnessed a will in Dallas Co in late 1840, but I don't think (not sure) he shows in the census. I do appreciate your help very much. Leslie Hill

Leslie, Did you get a copy of this census yet? I live in Orlando, FL and we have a very nice genealogy department and I would be happy to get a copy of this for you. Just let me know.

How do I go about finding info about a Doctor that had a practice in Selma 1895-1920s? Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I live in the north and have found nothing at my genealogy library. Thanks, Debbie

Would someone on the list who has access to the 1850 Dallas Co. census please look up Thomas H. McDonald (McDonnold) for me. My Thomas H. McD disappeared from Overton Co., TN. in the 1840's and was sued by his wife for deserting her and the children. As an uncle of his died in AL., I thought it possible this might be he. Thanks in advance, Joyce Stover
