Thanks, Lynda. I appreciate it and I am sure the list does as well. If you would like, I would be happy to help by replying to the H-O requests. Have a good week off.

Glenda, I will be glad to help do look-ups for Dekalb County, AL marriages 1836-1916. I have all three books. I will also be out of town next week on vacation but will be glad to help when I return. May can get a few in this week. Lynda tomlyn@peop.tdsnet.com

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be out of town for the next week; however, this list has been so slow lately that I think perhaps all of you are out of town as well!!! We now have 72 very quiet members of this list. I do appreciate those of you who requested Heritage Book look ups who then posted your info to the list. I encouraged a roll call earlier this summer but that was not able to generate much activity. The offer to do Heritage Book lookups was pretty successful but awfully time consuming; however, upon my return I will extend the offer again. I will also do marriage lookups for names H-O (sorry but that's the only book I have). I will also do lookups on the Cherokee Rolls if you let me know what roll they should be on. Perhaps there are others out there who have some resources they could offer, if so, please let us hear from you. For those of you who are interested in the Dawes roll, it can be accessed on line at "www.intertekweb.com/gpsbook/cherokee/cherlink.htm" Have a nice week, Glenda (listowner)

I am searching for information regarding BENJAMIN F. PADEN and wife, Almira and their family of nine or ten children. I know that Benjamin bought federal land in DeKalb County in 1845 and 1851 and that then he later moved west. Almira Paden was a mixed-blood Cherokee and the family is listed on the Siler Roll. I am also looking for information regarding JOHN PADEN, SR , Benjamin's father who bought land at the same time. Finally, Benjamin Paden's father in law was ANDREW MILLER and he may have lived nearby. Are there any birth, death, marriage or census records on any of these families? Any help you can give will be most appreciated. Suzanne

Glenda: I'm researching Ellen Rosie Weaver who supposedly was from Collinsville in DeKalb County. b. 04 Oct. 1856 and d. 21 Oct. 1939. She married Thomas Franklin Land on 24 Mar 1872. Her parents were Abraham M. Weaver and Mary J. Landingham. The family story is that her father owned a plantation and Thomas Land was the overseer and she eloped with him. Ellen's children were Edward E, Leola L, Thomas Jr., William M., Lillie Harris (my grandmother), Brinson B., Jessie J., and George O. They later moved to Texas and Thomas died in 1900. I cannot find any information on him in Texas. Ellen remarried W.C. Thomas and moved to Oklahoma, where she died in 1939. Any info on this? Lisa Leonard Hatchell Amsterh@aol.com
