After a recent visit to Henry County, I finally connected by gggrandfather, John W. Brown to his father Willis Brown. (Willis was married twice, first to Mary (unknown) and second to Elizabeth Armstong.) John W. was married to Julia Ann Messer on March 10, 1881. John W and Julia had the following children: Irene who married Henry C. Kirkland, John H who apparently never married, Minnie Mae (my ggrandmother) who married Thomas Coker Cutchens, Janie who may have died before 1910, Mary who maried James Henry Peterson, Melliw who married Paten (Pate) Kirkland, David who married Vassie C. Brackin, William O. who married Althea Zera Riley. I would appreciate hearing from anyone connected to these familes. Does anyone know who Willis belonged to? Thanks, Kathy _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page – FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/

Linda, I am researching the Rowlands have been unable to locate my ggrandmother's family. I would like to identify her parents and siblings. She married Eli Strickland in 1880 and they were living near Daleville in Dale County, AL at the 1880 census. I believe her name to be Jincy Ann Sophronia Rowland/Roland. This was her surname as given on the death certificate of one of her children. She is buried at Bethany Baptist Church Cemetery in Holmes County and the headstone reads: Jency Ann Surfroney Strictlind, 11-20-1852 to 12-14-1905. "Mother thou art now at home". Here is the 1880 census entry: 1880 Dale County Census, dated 17 June 1880, Beat #5, Page 27, SD4, ED62: [beat # 5 was daleville-gilleys on 1880 census, Daleville is located near the SE corner of Dale county] 243/243 Strickland, Eli, w, m, 25, Laborer, born in AL..MARRIED DURING THE CENSUS YEAR! Gencie, w, f, 25, keeps house, born in AL I think that this is possibly her family in the 1870 census: 1870 Dale County census, taken 21 July 1870, page 159 [234B on Heritage Quest CD], Beat #10, Clopton Post Office, Alabama, shows the following family: [Clopton is in the NE corner of Dale Co] Dwelling 100 Rolan, Thomas, 35, m, w, farmer, NC, real estate value $1200, personal property value $600 M. J., 33, f, w, keeps house, GA J. A., 14, f, w, AL <<<<possibly Jincy Ann? The birth date is right--this looks most probable to me. E. R., 12, f, w, AL R. A., 10, m, w, AL H. B., 8, m, w, AL G. W., 2, m, w, AL R. A., 3/12, m, w, AL Brinks, W.

I am writing re Doris's <[email protected]> response to "A-T-K's Grannie" <[email protected]>. Could I impose and ask if you would check "Henry's Heritage, A History" re any other Rowland/Roland surnames? And/Or would you please send me the particulars on this book -- I would like to see if I can find it (perhaps at the Alabama Archives). I have been experiencing a frustrating time re obtaining marriage (or any other) information on this particular Rowland family. What little information I have I have was mostly gleaned from census records and some "information swaps" with other researchers from this particular line. It is: Thomas Roland/Rowland (born circa 1806 in SC) married America Ogletree (born circa 1911 in Georgia). Thomas's parents/siblings are unknown. America's father is thought by many to be David Ogletree; however he was most probably an uncle or other relative -- in "Early Records of Georgia Vol 1 and 2" he was apparently appointed as the 1st or 2nd guardian of America, (John Ogletree was also appointed guardian of America Ogletree, a minor); Benjamin. S. Ogletree was guardian of Nancy Ogletree; James T. Hackney was appointed guardian of Eliza Ogletree; William Pollard was appointed guardian of America Ogletree, orphan of David Ogletree on Sept. 1, 1828. Thomas and America's known children: Emily Rowland, born circa 1826 in Georgia; married Greenberry/Green Berry Coxwell February 21, 1846 in Barbour County, AL; they are both buried in Clarke County, AL Hilary I Rowland, (male) born circa 1832 in Georgia. Francis M Rowland, (male) born circa 1838 in Georgia. Nancy M Rowland, born circa 1838 in Georgia. Rebecca J. Rowland, born circa 1839 in Georgia; died December 24, 1905. Harritt Rowland, born circa 1842 in Georgia. (I have several different spellings for her 1st name.) Martha A. Rowland, born Abt. 1844 in Georgia. Martha had 2 children born out of wedlock, then married Ancil Partin this marriage produced 4 known children. Eliza L. Rowland, born Bet. December 09, 1851 - 1852 in Alabama; died August 01, 1921 in Conecuh County, Alabama. She married Stephen Joe Messer; they are buried in Conecuh County. David Nathan Rowland, (my husbands descends from him), born November 17, 1852; died July 10, 1944 in Conecuh County, Alabama. He married Edith Arelia Session. They are both buried in Brush Creek Cemetery in Conecuh County, AL. I find Thomas listed with America in the 1850 census in Henry County; they are together in Covington County in the 1860; he is in the 1870 census in Conecuh County but America is not listed. I have never found her death documentation. I am assuming their last 2 children (Eliza and David) were both born in Covington County. In the 1850 census, I find: 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, age 3, not a male ... see 1860 census below -- as well as other documentation) In the 1860 census, I find: 1860 Census: Andalusia/Covington Thomas America Rebecca Martha 19 Eliza 13 female Martha 8 As you can see, some of the children are no longer in the home, and I can only assume that they married either in Henry County or Covington County or became their "own" head of household.
