Benjamin was born in Spartanburg, SC, but raised in Bartow county Georgia. He was wounded in the Civil War. I have no idea why he would have married in Kentucky.

I believe Benjamin must have had family in Kentucky. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Karen

Too late Edna! I already claimed your whole bunch a long time ago! Bless your heart... Hope you are feeling better and Thanksgiving was wonderful with the whole clan! I had the whole hang and I'm exhausted! If you ever talk to David please tell him hi for me...seems like ages and ages ago we worked together. I have still not found óld Edward. Don't even feel like I'm getting closer. Sooo frustrating!! Everyone knows what I mean who has those brick walls! Taking the DNA test for the mitachondrial this week as soon as it gets here. Ordered the test for my brother for the Alexander. Are any of you in the DNA database? Thank you for claiming me, Edna. You and Gail make the best relatives!

I guess there afraid that we might dig-up-something they wanted to keep buried. Anyway I've trying to find my mothers family. But so far I've found nothing about her grandfather (Fellie Brown Alexander Sr. b Jan,16 1898<d May 18 1959 ) I have her mother's grandmothers name (Beatrice (Alexender) James.I have a copy of an old news paper about Fellie,Sr saying he's from Canon Co. Tennessee, moved to KY. at age 7yrs then moved to Huntsville Al in 1914. He had two daughters Daisy & Stella two sons Roy & Fellie Jr.. I know from that point who is who and where his family are (I think) it's before Alabama I need.

Is it possible he was from Madiera Portugal? Please check there, as it is an island also, but if they menitoned The Azores, they may have been mistaken and not realized Madiera is island also. Madeira is farther south, just off the coast near I was there this spring and it seemed so fabulous, though, I can't imagine anyone wanting to leave. So the Madeira Portugal group of islands may be your answer! Let me know, if this is helpful or successful!
