Could this be Walton Wiggins? My guess would be the grandmother's name would be Nancy LOGAN.

My father's middle name was Blackwell. He was SAM BLACKWELL HARRIS, b. 17 January in Danville, Morgan Co, AL. I am wondering whom he was named for. There must have been an admirable Mr. Blackwell in Danville at that time. Sam's parents were James Sylvanus Harris and Mary Elizabeth Tatom. Do you have any explanation? This name never appears again in our family, so it is significant. Jack Harris

The question about Blainesville - it was probably Bainesville which was Attalla. Etowah Co was Baine Co in 1866-67.

Are there any Southerns listed in the cemetery book. I am looking for info on a John Southern but also interested in any other Southerns in the area. Thanks Linda

If someone has access to a cemetery book for Etowah county I would like a lookup for Sarah "Sallie" Guest. She was born in 1864. I don't have the exact date of her birth. She died after 1930.

I am posting to the Etowah County list because I imagine many of you have ties as I do to Clay County. I've been waiting for some while for a reprint of the Clay County heritage book. Heritage Publishing still doesn't have enough prepaids and may have to refund the money to those who have already paid. It would help if they could get a few more prepaid orders. The cost is $69.80. You may send a check to Heritage Publishing Consultants; PO Box 67, Clanton, AL 35046. Their e-mail address is [email protected] and their web site is www.heritagepublishing.net/ I understand the book is well worth the cost and I have not been able to find any used copies out there, so this may be our only chance to get it. Would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance for all assistance. Carol
