Hello, I am a descendant of the BRASSEALE family of North Alabama. My family came to Blount County before 1830. I know that some of my ancestors lived in Etowah County, near Walnut Grove and Aurora. They are John S. BRASSEALE(Braziel) married to Rhoda WITT. Also, John's brother Kinchen S.BRASSEALE married Jane BROTHERS. John and Kinchen are sons of Elias Brasseale. Elias married Phereba (Pherby) RHEA in Warren County, TN in 1810. Elias fought the Creek Indians in the War of 1812. ELias and Pherby's other children are William H., Nancy Brasseale ALLRED, Mary (Polly) Brasseale LATHAM and ELias (HOSS) DeLoach Brasseale (my great great grandfather). Hoss was married twice. He was married before the Civil War, then he came back and either his first wife left him or she died. I have heard several things about this. Hoss' second wife is Elizabeth NIMON. THey had nine sons. The sons are the following, starting with the oldest and ending with the youngest; John Patrick (Pete)(my great grandafather) 1866, George D. 1870., Elias Benjamin 1872, Kinchen Ebbenezeer 1874, Andrew Jackson 1876, Isaac M. 1878, James Henry 1880, Alvin O. 1882, and Isom Alonzo Brasseale 1884. Hoss died in 1909 and was buried at Salem Bapt Church cemetery in Brooksville. Elizabeth died in 1927 and was buried in Zion Hill Church cemetery. Is anyone related to this family or knows about this family willing to share information with several researchers. Thanks, Tony Brazell Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama [email protected] _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

While researching my Alabama relatives I found an Alabama death index for 1908-1959. The index lists information in two ways: 1- Name, Date of Death, County, and Death Certificate number. 2- Name, Date of Death, County, and Volume, Roll, and Page Numbers. In 1915 and 1916 death certificate numbers are given. In 1923 - 1928 only a Volume, Roll and page numbers is given. I ordered a death certificate and got some useful information. My question is what information does the second listing provide, that is the Vol, Roll, and Page numbers. Each inquiry costs $12.00, so I would like to make sure its worth doing. Appreciate any help, Jim Duncan in far away Arizona
still searching my mystry man, Jim Campbell, who lived in Pratt City in 1938. He appeared on my uncle's Bryce Hospital papers as either an uncle or nephew to my uncle. as of yet I have not found Campbell's in my mother's line so do not know who this Jim Campbell is! He may have m: one of my grandmother's sister's who would have been a Johnson or he may have m: one of my mother's sisters who would have been a Harris. anyone have a Jim Campbell in their line who married either a Johnson or a Harris between abt 1900-1930. thanks Jackie

Hello Listers, There is a Joseph Mayo on p. 348 of the 1870 Cleburne co. AL census with wife Nancy and 4 daughters....no sons. Hope this helps you to eliminate a suspect in your research. Cathy Pickard Dahlgren, VA
There was a Joseph Mayo, Margret Mayo and a William Mayo living at Oak Level in the Calhoun Co. AL 1860 Census. The page number for this census is 498. I only have the Index of this census...maybe these "Mayo" people are kin. The 1870 Census Index - they aren't there anymore and the 1880 Census Index - no Mayo people but I saw another spelling "Mayhoe", a David and a Richard. Bernice Looking for Hope, Deal, Quinn
