I have temporary access to a copy of "MAPLE HILL CEMETERY Phase One", by Diane Robey, Dorothy Scott Johnson, John Rison Jones, Jr., & Frances C. Roberts. The cemetery is located on California Street, Huntsville, AL. This volume covers only the oldest 15 sections of the cemetery, & is indexed. This book is also available through the Huntsville-Madison County Historical Society, P.O. Box 666, Huntsville, AL 35804. I'm willing to do lookups during the next couple of weeks, but please email me privately at tlwilson@HiWAAY.net Several of the surnames have as many as 30 first names listed, so please include first & last names with your requests.

DeKalb Researchers I've found an inconsistency in an article published in the Heritage of DeKalb. The Wiley Cook Lyons article on page 188 states that Wiley was the son of Magaret Meek and John Lyons. I wondered about this when I first read it, because it wasn't supported by the 1830 Knox, or 1840 & 1850 DeKalb Census. In researching the Claim of Margaret Lyons, she listed all of her children, eleven, in a deposition before the court, and Wiley was not among them. Furthermore, she testified that she had not had any son serve in the CSA. The article on Wiley says he enlisted in the CSA. Can anyone shed some light on this?

DeKalb Researchers: If anyone suspects that they have an ancestor whose approved claim may be on file, I can let you know if it is among those at the National Archives. I reviewed a DeKalb County "approved case" from the Southern Loyalist Claims Commission last week. They brought me all the DeKalb files in five boxes, so I made a list of the case files in the boxes. The file that I researched provided an interesting look at DeKalb during the war years, and provided the deposition of a relative, to include a listing of her children and who they married, as well as supporting depositions of relatives and neighbors, and the amount of the claim awarded.

Sometime ago, someone posted a request for information regarding the town/indian village named Annawaika. While doing research in B'ham Library, I ran across a list of Post Offices and Postmasters in Dekalb Co dated 1851 and 1855. Annawaika was listed with a postmaster G C White for both dates. Hope this helps someone.

Euclid Rains, Sr. & G. Nell Rains. Black Oak & Musgrove POs were discontinued to the Chavies PO, Sauty Mills (closest sounding one to Saulty Creel) to Fyffe. If you would like the names of the Postmasters, let me know.
