My great grandmother Sarah H. Copeland was living with James and Mary E. Teague in Blount county 1900 Census she was listed as 16 and as sister in law. She was again seen in Altoona Ala. 1910 married with children to Jesse Hallmark. Any help on my great grandmothers roots would be appreciated. Thank You Barb

Does anyone have access to a 1920 census for Etowah Co. AL. I wanted to see if my gf was listed there. My aunt was born in Attalla in 1920. I think my gf may have been living near my great grandparents who were Phillips. Jim Griffin

Delilah, I checked the number in the current phone book and it was correct. Bob Scarboro spoke at The Alabama City Historical Meeting several months back and I assumed that he was still in business. What book are you looking for? I may be able to help you. Moo

Can somebody tell me if "Scarboro Photo Sho located atv 117 S 6th Street, Gadsden, #256-546-3757 is still in business I wanted to order MORE books but got a disconneted message, of course the note I have is nearly 2 years old, I'm slow but I eventually get there, lol. delilah (slow old person) or SOP for short

Gina, The Marriage Book is wonderful. It only covers Etowah County, but covers marriages from 1900-1909 with NOTES. It is arranged by Section 1: Groom; Section 2: Bride; and Section 3: Notes. Here is an example of some of the notes: Book P. Pg. 123 J. H. Vasser Age 19, Height 5 ft 8 in, weight 142, Residence; Alabama City, AL; Occupation Cotton Mill; Berma Martin age 18, Height 5 ft. weight 130. Book H Pg. 201 The Marriage License for William A. Barnett & Eula Hood was void because William was not of age. I am not sure of the price, but I know that Gail will contact you. Sincerely, Moo

Etowah researchers, My wife has several family lines that came through Etowah county - Lankford, Purcell, Gray, Parker, Reese, etc. There is a family story that her Great Grandmother, Rebecca Parker Gray, told of her family being visited by the President of the United States. We have always wondered if there were any truth to the story. Do any of you Etowah County historians know of a time (probably before 1900) when a U.S. President might have visited Etowah County, particularly Attalla? Rebecca's father-in-law was Allen Gray, the first Postmaster of Attalla, appointed by President Ulysses S. Grant. She named one of her sons Ulysses S. Gray, so we have always thought that the President involved might have been Grant. Also, Rebecca's father, John Parker, was born in the Chattanooga area and the Parker family lived there at the time of the Battle of Chattanooga. Again, Grant could have been the person involved, but prior to his becoming President. Thanks for any help you can give. Jim Nix Birmingham, AL

Julius Wetzel (or variation of spelling) is in the 1880 census of Etowah Co. age 39, married to Alice age 19. In the 1910 census Alice Wetzel, age 49, is listed as a widow. I have no information re: the family during the time from 1880 until 1910. Any one with any knowledge re: this family? Would like to have any suggestions as to which records are available on the internet or for searching in the county. Thanks for any help Paul R.L. Vance

Will the person who was in charge of the Swap Meet write me - I need and address to send my GROOVER book for the library - I finally got it done. delilah

In a message dated 4/25/04 10:13:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time, carolcantrell@comcast.net writes: << I am trying to determine the most likely burial place for someone who, according to 1870 census, lived in Township 12, Range 7, Kansas Beat Prct 3. >> If you will obtain a State Hwy Dept map for Etowah Co., which will have the T-R grid on it, it will also show cemeter locations for many cemeteries.

I am trying to determine the most likely burial place for someone who, according to 1870 census, lived in Township 12, Range 7, Kansas Beat Prct 3. Would appreciate names of any cemeteries that existed in this area in 1870. Also if anyone has a cemetery book or surveys for Etowah County, I am looking for the burial place for Mary Ann Haynie, and possibly two of her children, John Wesley and Robert Haynie. Would appreciate a lookup of any surveys you might have. I checked those available on Rootsweb but some were just partial surveys and did not find anything. Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Just a reminder, we will be having a Confederate/Masonic Memorial Service for William Trotter 1815-1891 Sunday, April 25, 2004, 2 PM at the Dooley/Trotter Cemetery, Gadsden. Etowah County, AL. For more info: Sherry Clayton 256-442-4529 or sillymoo55@aol.com

Found this tidbit while looking thru some local newspapers: Source Houston Home Journal, Perry, Ga. Thursday, 9 December 1976, page 3B "Mrs. Jack LEE., of Gadsden, Alabama was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Avery Lee for several days recently." ------------------------------------------
