Greetings, I am interested in finding out more about the history of NEW PROSPECT BAPTIST CHURCH near the community of Edwin. Many of my Mathison ancestors are buried in the cemetery across the street. According to a brief two-page history of the church by F.A. Carroll, it used to be known as the Cook graveyard. I am hoping that there might be a more comprehensive history of the church (maybe even a book). Some of the early members and supporters of the church were Cooks, Thurmons, Mathisons, Hicks, Wrights, Williams, Carrolls, Trawicks, Owens, Peels, Martins, Bushes, Bedsoles, Walkers, Adams, Browns, Knights, Hines and Beamons. If you have any of those surnames in your tree....this may be of interest to you as well. New Prospect was once called simply "Prospect" or "Old Prospect." Any help appreciated - Thanks, Steve Groh

I am also interested. Surnames mentioned which are also mine are Hicks, Wright, Williams, Trawick, and Brown. Please post all info to the ALHenry-L rootsweb. Thanks. Jeanette

No I am not aware of any Mathisons. When I go back next year I plan on doing more recording. I had more identified by my 8MM camera & it messed up. Stupid me. Bob Hartzog

Steve, Maybe some Henry help here. Capt James W. Stokes, Co E, 60th Ala Inf Rgt; Dec 2, 1828-Dec 22, 1901; m. Martha A. Kennedy, 1834- 1894; City Cemetery, Abbeville. Pvt G.W. Stokes, Grace's Company, Henry County Reserves; no dates; Fellowship Church Cemetery, southwest of Abbeville. Pvt Henry F. Stokes, Co E, 60th Ala Inf Rgt; Oct 5, 1845-Oct 31, 1910; Union Grove Cemetery, south of Abbeville. Most all the Dowling's are buried about a block from my home here in Ozark, Dale County at the Claybank Cemetery. Deo Vindice, Homer

Hello all: My McKIssack ancestors lived in Henry County, AL from about 1820 -1870 and one of the women married a James Stokes. Like everyone else, I have found the Stokes line a difficult one to trace. FWIW, the information I have on Stokes is on my website at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/m/c/k/David-Mckissack/ Also below is a paragraph and some footnotes from a McKissack family history book I'm writing. These contain a little info on the Stokes. "As the war erupted, many Southerners, including several of the McKissacks, their kin and neighbors, eagerly joined the Confederacy's armed forces. The McKissacks' neighbor Thomas T. Smith took the lead in organizing a company of volunteers from Henry County. This was one of the first units raised in Henry County and Smith was elected its commander (105). A young man named James Stokes joined Smith's company, which called itself the "Henry Blues." At the time the war broke out, James was listed by the census as living on the farm of John Wesley and Eliza Jane McKissack. James was apparently related to the McKissacks and had come to them when he was orphaned (106). A few years after the Civil War, James married John Wesley and Eliza Jane's daughter Mary. No doubt their attraction had first started to flower when James came to live on the McKissack farm." 105. Warren, Hoyt M., Henry's Heritage, (Henry County Historical Society, 1978), p.271. 106. Though there were several Stokes families in Henry County at this time, some living west of the McKissacks near Abbie Creek, we have been unable to tie James to one of them. His granddaughter Erie Barnes related in an interview with David Schultz, however, that James had been orphaned, possibly losing his parents to typhoid. Why he moved in with the McKissacks instead of one of the Stokes families is unclear. Perhaps he hired on with John Wesley as a farm hand.

I am an art teacher in Cincinnati, Ohio. I only started researching my family tree about a year and a half ago. Since then I have been collecting quite a few distant cousins. - The more the merrier. How much do you know about your Boutwell line? Dempsey Dowling's mother, Nancy Boutwell, was the daughter of Lionel Boutwell. He (Lionel) was once thought to be the son of the gentleman planter, Burtonhead Boutwell....But that is no longer the popular opinion in the Boutwell camp. Lionel's father is a mystery. Steve Groh

Hi Steve Groh, I read your the posts abt. Dempsy & Martha. They are my 3xgt-grandparents. I descend as follows: Dempsy Dowling/Martha Stokes Zinnamon Dowling/Elizabeth Ingraham Steven Calvestus Dowling/Lavonia Forehand Gussie Ester Nancy Elizabeth Dowling/Berry Lee Adams Mary Lee Adams/Harvey J. Grantham Barbara Sue Grantham (me)/Wayne F. Wilkinson I have the book "A Dowling Family of The South," by R. A. Dowling.

Dear Le, I happen to have in front of me a picture that names the Engineer Groups that constructed the Railroad Bridge accross the Rhine at Mainz. It is a picture taken at the dedication of the Bridge which was completed in 9 1/2 days, bridg e length- overall 4,502 ft, span 2.221 ft. This is the bridge that got our troops to badly need oil and supplies. The picture belongs to my father who mobilized with Co. E, 106th Engineers, 31st Dixie Division,of Apalachicola, Florida. Soon after he was sent to Officers Candidate School and ended up withe the 389 Eng. Gs Regt. I am afraid it is not proper to insert the picture into a maillist document.
