I am still searching for parents of Josiah HENDERSON b ca 1793/5 SC married Edeline (Edy) b ca 1803 SC. On 1830 Buncombe Co NC census with 4 sons: 1 five to ten years, 3 one to five years. Some of their neighbors were GILBERTS, HUGGINS, MC CALLS, SPAINS, PICKETS. 1840 Greene Co TN confirms that 3 of these 4 sons are still with them - oldest son now being 15-20 years of age has probably married. Two additional sons and 2 daughters have now been born. They are living near other HENDERSON families with heads of house being: George, John, Joseph and Margaret. It is quite possible that one of these could be Josiah's oldest son. 1850 Walker Co GA family with James Matthew b 1833, Matilda b 1834, Elizabeth b 1836, Josiah b 1839, Edey b 1843 and David A b 1844. 1860 they are now in Walker Co AL and by 1870 in Cherokee Co AL. Three of Josiah's children married children of Benjamin Cole. William Cole married a Sinard/Siniard/Sinyard. Henderson's also intermarried with Brock, Sinard et al, Brown, Brook, Mitchell, Kerley/Kearley. Any help will be appreciated. Some researchers believe Josiah to be Johnston Josiah son of Joseph and Jane Pickens Henderson, grandson of William and Agnes Johnston Henderson (Agnes is d/o Josiah Johnston). Others believe him to be James Josiah the son of Charles and Elizabeth Montgomery (Edia-Edey) Henderson. What do you think? TIA, Glenda

BUSBY-CLAYTON-CHITWOOD-KITCHEN-SWAFFORD-STARLING-WARD-NORMAN- DAUGHERTY-KEELAND-WILLIS--TAYLOR-SCOTT-TATE-MAYES- and many others married into the McPHERSON families and were in DeKalb Co., from the 1830's on. They lived in and around the Lebanon, Rainsville, Dogtown, Ft. Payne area and some are buried at Walker's Chapel, Trinity, Lebanon, Lankford, Glenwood Cemeteries. Some moved away to Grapevine, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri, before 1900. It is believed that the McPHERSONS came to DeKalb in the late 1830's from Roane Co., TN. In the 1850's, some of Isaac and Mary McPhersons children were living in Marion C., TN, (William in 1850), Pontotoc, MS, and some lived in Dade Co., GA. Would like contact with anyone researching the McPHERSON, MAYES, or KITCHEN background of any of these. Paul R. White WhitePaul@aol.com

I am researching KEITH, HUNSUCCER, POE, MOSLEY, DAVENPORT, VENABLE, WALLACE IN DeKalb County. An elderly relative once said that she felt like she was related to everyone in the county when she lived there as a young girl. I have information on the KEITH line that was not published in the new KEITH book, if anyone is interested. [also some info published in the book is not quite correct.] LaWanda

I did not receive this message the first time it was sent (by me). I am forwarding it to the list a second time. Maillist server is still having problems. I am told I have (for example) 5 messages but only receive 2. I hope some of you do not receive multiple listings of this post.

Does anyone know the location for the Kerley Cemetery? USGS' gnis gives the location as Portersville. I had heard it was in Collinsville on the ridge to the west of town. TIA, Glenda

Since this list has had so little activity of late, I thought we should have a roll call. Please include first names, dates, and locations, if known. It would be helpful to put surname in subject line. Let's see if we can't get this list going again. Glenda

Seeking information on a Robert Bohannon who supposedly served in the 3rd Alabama Calvary. Unit may been formed at Lebanon Al. Also seeking info on how to look for his widow's pension application on line. Would like to know if someone can tie the Bohannon family with the Lowry/Lowerys of Dekalb Co, Al. Any info appreciated.

Just wanted to let everyone know that our server is having problems. AOL is bouncing back 100% of rootsweb messages. This has caused quite a problem with our servers. Some users are not getting any messages. Some are getting messages with up to 5 copies of each message. There is also a problem with the router (T1s). Rootsweb should have these problems corrected by Friday. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I have had many requests for information about the Agricultural Censuses. Call your local library and ask if they have a government documents department, then ask that dept if they have ag census holdings. I was told that few libraries have these holdings. I accessed the ones at Lin Henley, Birmingham Public Library in Bham, AL. These are really great resources and contain information about property, livestock, crops produced, etc. Good luck, Glenda
