Mary, Thanks anyway, I really appreciate your efforts..I will keep looking. Betsy

I am searching for a John B. WILLIAMS who was born about 1790 in an unknown place in South Carolina. Judging by census records he married in Georgia to Nancy COLSON. He had a couple of children there, then moved to Alabama and had more children. The family then moved to Texas. He appears there in a number of land transactions and is also on the 1850 census, the first one I have recognized him on. According to oral history, son Irvin reached manhood and "went back to Alabama." The 1850 census of Henry Co, Alabama, shows him as a newlywed to Nancy WALDEN. That would make it appear that the John B. WILLIAMS family had lived in Henry Co., earlier, but I have been unable to locate a record to show that. John B. WILLIAMS was shown as a blacksmith in Texas and seemed to be a prosperous land owner. Land records in Henry Co. might reveal something. COLSON as the maiden name for his wife is also oral history. I have no record to back that up. Charlene W. Brazell

Mary, Thanks for forwarding my message to the researcher in Barbour Co Betsy

No ma'am, not that I can find in Henry County. I don't have any Barbour County marriages. My Williams were not in Barbour County, but I know a researcher that does have Williams in Barbour County.

Hello List, I am in search of Stephen Williams that is in the Henry County Census 1830 & 1840. I am supposing he has passed away before the 1850 census. He was b. 1760-1770, place unknown to me. It's a possibility he is from Onslow Co, NC, and back on to Isle of Wight, VA. In 1820 he is in Early County, GA. 1800 he is in Newberry Co, SC. I can't seem to get back any farther. It appears he has sons, John, G.W., Robert, William, and Willson. There are other sons, and daughters. Any help will be greatly appreciated to get me on the right track. Thank you.

I wonder if your brick wall is connected to mine. My ggrandmother was Jincy Ann Sophronia Rowland/Roland, born May 1856 in Alabama according to the 1900 Henry County census (her tombstone gives a birth year of 1852). She married Eli Strickland in 1880 and was enumerated in the 1880 Dale County census. I have been unable to connect her to any parents or siblings. She died 14 Dec 1905 and is buried at Bethany Baptist Church Cemetery in Holmes County, Florida. I would dearly love to connect Jincy Ann to some parents and siblings. HELP!

If you have't already, try Walton Co, Fl. Lots of people migrated from Covington/Conecuh to Walton.

Am experiencing some brick walls re my husband's paternal line. Thomas Roland/Rowland (born ca. 1806 in SC), wife America (born ca. 1811 in Georgia) was in Henry County in 1850 per the census: ROLAND, THOS., 44M, FARMER, b. S.C. ROLAND, AMERICA, 38F, b. GA. ROLAND, SUSANAH, 19F, b. GA. ROLAND, HELARY J., 18M, FARMER, b. GA. ROLAND, NANCY M., 12F, b. GA. ROLAND, FRANCIS M., 12M b. GA. ROLAND, REBECCA, 11F, b. GA. ROLAND, HARRETT, 8F, b. GA. ROLAND, MARTHA A., 6F, b. GA. ROLAND, ELIGAH, 3M, b. AL. (This is actually an error -- this is Eliza, female, age 3 ... see 1860 and subsequent censuses) In 1860 he and wife America are found in Andalusia/Covington County - sans most of his older children - specifically: Susanah, Helary J/Hilary J (male), Nancy, and Francis M (male). Thomas America Rebecca Martha 19 Eliza 13 female Martha 8 I have exhausted research in Covington County re these children - and find that I must return to Henry County for more research; they possibly married and remained there. Since traveling to Henry County is not in the near future, I am reposting this information. Have previously submitted this information to the list - but am doing so again hoping that some new members have joined the list who may be researching this same family. Thomas and his family ended up in Conecuh County; the youngest son, David Nathan Rowland, was born there November 17, 1852; his date of death is July 10, 1944, also in Conecuh County. It is from David that my husband descends. Would love to have contact with any relatives. [email protected]

I don't know where to begin, but I'll start out by listing what I have so far on my ancestors. I'm searching for the "Parents" of both of my great-grandparents: John McCloud and Sarah Charity Roberts. John McCloud was born 1850 in GA or SC and died 1895 in Flomaton, AL.. buried at Brushy Creek Cemetery in Conecuh County AL. I'm not sure which state or the county where he was born, but would like to know! Sarah Charity Roberts (also called Sallie) was born 6-20-1852 in GA and died 9-25-1941 in Flomaton, AL.. buried at the Flomaton Cemetery.. her "birthplace" is also a question.. don't know what town nor county. And I have no idea what her Parent's names are.. just the last name Roberts. Sometime in my childhood, it seems like I've heard my mama say that Sallie was possibly from Jonesboro (Clayton County) GA. But, I can't be positive about this.. it was such a long time ago, and I was so young. But, it could be possible. I have also heard that Sarah (Sallie) remarried after John McCloud died, married a Henry Smith and lived in FL for awhile. I don't know anything else about this. She didn't have any children by him. I'm stumped for sure.. for there's nobody left to ask, that's old enough to remember, in my family. All the older folks have passed on. And everywhere I've checked, came up with nothing. I can't seem to find a match anywhere. I have really hit a brick wall!! ha! ha! I do have a list of John and Sarah's Children: 1. J. W. McCloud - b. 2-25-1878 - Headland, AL .. no date of death, but, I think he might have been buried at Brushy Creek Cemetery - Conecuh County AL. I don't think he ever married. I don't know what the J.W. stands for.. poss. John William?? 2. Rosalee McCloud - b. 8-13-1880 - Headland, AL .. no date of death, but was buried at Flomaton, AL cemetery .. she married: Warren Ashley Hammac - children: Claude, Roy, Coady, Della Mae, Ibra, and Myrtle 3. William Henry McCloud - b. 11-30-1882 - Headland, AL .. d. 12-19-1935 .. buried: Flomaton, AL .. he married: Rosa Mae Jones Children: Esco, and William H.,Jr 4. Marcus Pomeroy McCloud - b. 9-20-1884 - Headland, AL .. d. 6-8-1953 .. buried: Flomaton, AL .. his first marriage: Mary Jewell Conant .. his second marriage: Katherine Kuhl Halligan 5. Hattie Lida McCloud - b. 3-19-1887 - Headland, AL .. no date of death, but was buried in Mobile, AL .. her first marriage: first name unknown.. last name is Strength.. their son: Carney Strength .. 2nd husband: A.B. Davis .. not sure what the A.B. stands for.. could possibly be Albert B. cause they had a son named Albert Earle Davis. 6. Lili Jan McCloud - b. 2-10-1889 - Headland, AL .. no date of death, but I think she might have been buried at Brushy Creek Cemetery - Conecuh County, AL .. I'm thinking that this might be the child Lilly McCloud I've heard that was buried next to John McCloud. 7. Clinton McCloud - b. 6-14-1893 - Headland, AL .. d. 1935 .. buried: Flomaton, AL.. he never married.. he died an accidental death going home from the Service. Don't know the details.. but, wish I did know. Marcus Pomeroy McCloud was my Grandfather. He and my grandmother Mary Jewell Conant had three children: 1. Allen Jackson McCloud - b. 8-7-1922 .. AL or FL .. not sure which.. died: 2-18-2001 .. buried: Flomaton, AL 2. Myrtice Gwendolyn McCloud - b. 6-19-1925 .. AL or FL.. not sure which .. still living.. and has alzheimers.. no help from her. 3. Mary Elizabeth McCloud - b. 2-28-1927 - Leesburg, FL .. d. 12-10-1992 - Long Beach, CA - this was my mother Marcus and Mary Jewell divorced and then he married: Katherine Kuhl Halligan.. they had one child: Marcus Paul McCloud - b. 7-18-1937 - Flomaton AL or possibly Century,FL - died: 7-22-1937 Katherine Kuhl Halligan had a daughter by her first marriage: Mildred Halligan Mary Jewell remarried to: Josef I. Blanc and lived in Jacksonville, FL I sure would like to get past John McCloud and Sarah Charity (Sallie) Roberts. I would like know where they came from and who their parents were and where they're from. I'm hoping that there is somebody out there that can help me solve this mystery. I'm having to do this the hard way. If there's anybody out that can help me, I sure would appreciate any help you could me. Thank you for your time and God bless you!
