I am searching for information on Lewis STEPHENS who died in Autauga Co, AL in 1827 leaving a widow Mary & 2 children: Louisa & John. The widow obviously died very shortly after Lewis STEPHENS. Executor Joseph COLLINS was given custody of the children. Witnesses were: William WHITE & Thomas WILLIAMS. Estate papers mention having to spend money to send someone to Georgia. Georgia records yield a 3 June 1819 marriage of Lewis STEPHENS to Mary WILLIAMS in Baldwin Co, GA. Purchasers from the Autauga Co, AL estate include the following CRENSHAW men: James, Abraham & Robert. J ? CRENSHAW (2nd initial hard to decipher, could be S) was later paid $32.42 1/2 from the estate for "doing work". Another accounting of the estate shows money owed to & from Abraham CRENSHAW. Other 1828 purchasers, in addition to the CRENSHAW men, include: Lewis ALDRIDGE, Wm HIGHTOWER, Thos. WILLIAMS, Joseph COLLINS, Caleb ETHERIDGE, George SHADIVICH (??), Oratio CHAMBLIS, Reuben ALDRIDGE, James GRANT, Thomas HESTER, Timothy HOLLY, T. L. RODGERS, James WILLIAMS. Does anyone have any information concerning the relationship of these two families. Any information on any of the above families would be greatly appreciated.
