Does anyone know if this couple had any children and if she was his first or second wife. Ira was also married to Annie N. Howell from Etowah County, Alabama, Working on the Rink related lines to this family. The Sitz family and the Rinck/Rink families were intermarried in lots of different directions. Thank you for any help on this line.

I confirm the relatives presence in Hermitage, Tennessee in 1826. In 1839 my own third great grandfather says this relative died leaving his children a handsome fortune. In 1899 a great niece writes in a historical account of the family that my missing family member moved to Alabama. Most recently I received this information from rootsweb.com and it seems to match my guy. However the submitter only copied the information from someone else's pamphlet on their family. He had no real data. Here is the information and I am looking for some facts on this line. Eliza Moore married Col. James McDonald (my third great uncle) and died in Glencoe Alabama.. I am not sure who died Eliza or James??? .. They had two daughters, Ann Henrietta McDonald who married Sterling R. Cockrell. Their children were Emmett, Elizabeth Harding, Effie, Hennrietta, Amanthen, James McDonald, Valentine and Sterling. And Effie Lavinia McDonald who married Oakley Byrnum. Their children were Mary, Oakley and Effie. I would appreciate it if you could see if any of these folks were in Glencoe Alabama, especially James McDonald between 1826 and 1839. His children would be later of course.

Is there anywhere on the internet that has Cemeteries in Alabama indexed? I am trying to find out where Edward Craft and Mary Lee Garrett Craft are buried. thanks Dot donegan477@aol.com

I have been in touch with a descendant of Dr. RALLS. The original Dr. RALLS was one of my gr gr grandpa's best friends.

There is an article on John Perkins RALLS, Minister, Physician, Statesman. Also something on the Ralls Sanitorium, it burned and he rebuilt it and called it Forrest General Hospital in 1928. Dr. RALLS was also one of the early families of the First United Methodist Church, 115 South Fifth St., Gadsden, Al. PS Whoever is researching HALLMARK, they are descendants of the RALLS.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the Rall's Infirmary that was in service during 1919 in Gadsden. Also, I would like some information on the Gadsden Car Works.

Hello List, I enjoyed the repartee about Alabama City. I was born in Attalla on Stowers Hill Jan 1, 1926 in the upstairs of my folks Grocery store/home. Of course I remember that once there was a TRI-CITIES and Gadsden was the other third. My Grandfather J. Homer Flynt of Shady Glen , Calhoun County had a Cousin (if I remember correctly) who had a Barber Shop in Alabama City. I remember riding past the "FLYNTS BARBER SHOP" sign on the way from Gadsden to Attalla to Steele where my Beason clan lived. Does anyone remember the Barber?

Lem Barnett was born in 1842. The name could be spelled Barnet. It was even spelled Barnette on my g-grandmothers marriage record. I found the family in the census and the name was spelled Barnet. At this point, I'm not sure of the spelling. Elinor

Just a word of advice. If you're using a service like ancestry.com, do your look-up first using the exact spelling of the person's name. Then, if you don't find the person you're looking for, do a Soundex search. It helps find different spellings as well as transcription errors made when the indexes were created. (A lot of those Census Enumerators had atrocious handwriting. I know. I did some Census transcriptions several years ago.)

Hello, anyone have knowledge of a Barnett family with twin daughters, Margaret and Martha. The father was Lem (don't know what that is for) and the mother, Elizabeth. Margaret Barnett was my great grandmother. On her marriage record her name was listed as Margarette but she was always known as Margaret. She was married around Etowah, AL to an Owings.

No Alex City if short for Alexander City, I think it is in Tallapoosa County, south of Etowah County, off hiway 280 going towards Birmingham, has the Tallapoosa River there, you ever heard of Lake Martin, big recreational site, it is from the Tallapoosa river. delilah ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Cantrell" <carolcantrell@comcast.net> To: <ALETOWAH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2005 10:02 PM Subject: Re: [ALETOWAH] Alabama City >I remember hearing of an Alex City.

Alex City is in Talladega County and Alabama City is in Etowah County. Alex City is actually Alexander City, but people shorten it to Alex City. Keitha

There is a library on the main road between Gadsden and Attalla on the left side if you're aiming toward Attalla. That's the Alabama City library, I believe.
