Hi Stephanie, Thank you so very much for doing that. My father always pronounced it Segars, but when I got my grandmother's death certificate it was spelled Segrest. I hope you find something because I am at a dead end with her.

Hi again Charles H. F. Harris, my great grandfather, was born November 1845. On one record it states he was born in Georgia, but on my grandmother's death certificate it states her father was born in Virginia. He married Emily Segrest, my great grandmother, and my grandmother's same death certificate states her mother was born in Henry Co., AL. They had three daughters, Mittie, Mattie (my grandmother), and Mettie. When Emily died he married Lettie Skinner and they had three sons, Dewey P, Bernard L. and Robert H. He is buried in Clopton at Clopton cemetery?, and has a civil war marker. He was on the 1900 Dale Co. census lsited as Charles F. h/h w/daughter, Mittie. He was on the 1910 Barbour Co., Al. census. He died June 20, 1912. He enlisted in C.W., July 3, 1861, at Ashville, Al. & was discharged honorably April 13, 1865. Unable to make a living by manual labor on account of physical disability. P.O. Clio, Al., Co. G., 15th Al. Regiment, Private Application states eyesight defective in right eye. Left lung diseased. (I believe I got this information at the Dale County library). I have nothing further on Emily Segrest but am still looking. Mattie Harris, my great grandmother, m. Charles Lehman Simmons, who were the parents of my father, Joseph Perry Simmons. If you need anything else, please let me know, Jodi ICQ#7471136

Jodi, You don't know who your Emily Segrest's parents were? I have a ton of Segers and Segars from Dale and Henry Counties...I will go through my files and see if I have an Emily. Often the name was misspelled and maybe she's part of the Segers. Stephanie

My father took me to my great grandfather's grave who was in the Civil War a long time ago. I don't know that much about the area and hope I wrote it down right. His name was Charles C. F. Harris and the cemetery was the Clopton Cemetery in Dale County, I believe. He did have a civil war marker but I don't know who put it there. I remember there was a church there but don't know if the name was Clopton or what. My father is now deceased and I'm going only by memory. I do have the name of his company and I will look that up and send that along with any other info you may need. Just let me know what all you need.

Have just discovered that there is a recently marked CSA soldiers grave in the Blackwood Cemetery on County Road 83 out of Headland going NW. George W. Searcy, CSA Blackwood Cemetery Private, Company D 12 Regiment AL Inf. Confederate States Army b. June 13 1828 d. August 15, 1914 Grave has a new marker with gold lettering. I need the name of his wife, children, marker placed by whom; and I also want to know if this cemetery is the Blackwood Congregational Methodist Church Cemetery. I understand that the original church is now defunct; and, that the building was purchased and moved from this site. The cemetery is the only thing that remains; but, I really need to be sure that this was the denomination of the church--if anyone knows??? The General Willliam C. Oates AL #1342 Chapter of United Daughters of the Confederacy (Dothan, Alabama) has as one of its projects this year: the recording of CSA soldiers graves--the marked ones; and, locating and identifying "unmarked" ones. If you can send me your knowledge of any CSA soldiers graves in any of the southeast Alabama counties, we will fill out a form and send it to Richmond to be placed in the UDC Archives. Many of these graves get vandalized and eventually destroyed and this would--at least--provide a permanent record of this soldier and his final resting place. This is the data that is needed--as much of it as one can provide: NAME OF SOLDIER NAME OF CEMETERY MANAGER ADDRESS RANK OF CSA SOLDIER COMPANY REGIMENT REFERENCE (SOURCE OF RECORD oF MILITARY SERVICE) DATE OF BIRTH PLACE OF BIRTH DATE OF DEATH IS GRAVE MARKED? (IF UNMARKED, PLEASE GIVE LOCATION IN CEMETERY) IS CONFEDERATE SERVICE NOTED ON MARKER? IS IT A GOVERNMENT MARKER? IS IT A MEMORIAL MARKER (NO REMAINS BURIED)? IS THERE AN IRON CROSS? PLACED BY WHOM? PLEASE ADD ANY INFORMATION KNOWN ABOUT VETERAN'S: SPOUSE, CHILDREN, LIVING DESCENDANTS, ETC. If you send these to me, give me a statement (in your email) stating that I have your permission to send this to the UDC Business Office in Richmond and/or to any other museum that is preserving these CSA soldier's burial records. Looking forward to receiving your information to compile and send to Richmond by May, 2000. Be sure to include your name, address, phone, etc. If you have anything you want to attach to the form, write and I'll send you my mailing address. Feel free to forward this to other southeast Alabama researchers--whether in-state or out-of-state. Ceya Minder, President Gen. William C. Oates AL #1342 Dothan, Alabama

Hello Two I know of right off hand because they are related to me that is Lieutenant John C. Hardwick d.b. 6/Jan/1833 Lee County Georgia married Mary Whittle Washington Co., Ga. 1859. Enlisted Abbeville Alabama Company I 46th Alabama Infantry 1861. He died 24/July/1902 Headland Alabama. He is buried Westside Methodist Cemetery Headland. Captain Dr. Jon Edward Price 2/Sep/1826 Columbia South Carolina m: Mila Henrietta Kirkland 1846 Abbeville. Died 26/Mar/1898 Headland. He enlisted 29/May/1861 in Company A Sixth Alabama Infantry. He was promoted to Captain by Jefferson Davis. He was Assistant Regimental Surgeon. He only served two years he was ordered by the Medical Board to resign because of a bad heart. ALso buried behind Ephriam Oates is William Lazarus Soloman Jr. he was as the SCV calls them a Real Son. His father was William Lazarus Sr. Captain of Company H 39th Alabama Infantry. He held the rank of Captain when his regiment surrendered. The original Company Commmander was Joe Clayton he was killed in action. William L. was promoted to replace him. That information from his serivce record plus his widow's pension contradicts the date in Mrs. Scott's book History of Henry County and since they are taken from original sources and his wife I believe that date 1870 instead of 1862. It was less than six months from the time he died til his son William L. Jr was born according to Mrs. Scott's Book. Lt. Hardwick andCapt. Price do not have grave markers. Ephriam Oates is buried in Abbeville he was mother's paternal Greatgreatgrandfather. Ephriam d.b.27/Jan/1826 Sampson County North Carolina married Mary Ann Ward 16/Aug/1849 near Abbeville. He died 20/Apr/1911 in Abbeville Alabama he enlisted in Armstrong's Company Henry Mounted Rebels 2nd Class Militia. He had been in Gracie's Co. Alabama Militia a Lieutenant. He does not have a grave marker either. I will look for the list ofVeterans buried in Abbeville I have 40 something.

Hi Lew, No, I don't have ALL the census info...only I think is the 1850 which is on-line. Could you possibly send what you can find further on the TINDELLs? It's spelled Tindal/Tindall/Tindel/Tindell and also occasionally Tendrell....why I don't know. Anything would be greatly appreciated....
