Seeking any info on John JOHNSON who received a land patent in Jackson Co AL on 10 May 1831. On the same date, Sampson HAWS also received a land patent in Jackson County. John JOHNSON and Sampson HAWS had children that married each other, so these lines definately connect. There are a number of other JOHNSON men who received land patents in the early 1830's. I believe they may be related to the above listed John JOHNSON. I would be most interested to know if anybody out there has a JOHNSON family receiving an 1830's land patent. I believe John JOHNSON had a number of brothers, although I have only been able to prove one sibling. Thank you, Judy Johnson Erickson

Hi List, I need help! Here's my story, My Ggrandmother Elizabeth( called Bettie ) Jane LATTURE was born in Jackson Co, AL. in 1870. Her parents names were Samuel H. LATTURE and Margaret Jane ALLEN. My Ggrandmother married Otis S. ROGERS date ? My Ggrandparents ended up in White Co, Ark. Dogwood Township. Both are buried at Dogwood Cemetery in Griffithville Arkansas. Arkansas has no death records on either of them. :( Elizabeth ( Bettie ) Jane LATTURE died in 1902 age 32. LATTURE I have found spelled many ways like ..... LaTour, Lature, Latore so far. Would like to know if any one on the list is a LATTURE or ALLEN? Do any of you know a site that has Jackson Co. census on it for the years of 1870, 1880 or 1890? Thank You, Theresa

Has anyone any knowledge of the BAXTER family in the area in the 1830's? Am researching James Monroe Baxter, b. 1838, went to Scott County, Arkansas as a child, served in the CSA from Crawford County, AR, and settled there afterwards. His parents may have been Reuben Wayne and Sophia Baxter, shown in 1850 census as being from Tennessee. In 1860 census for Scott County he and other Baxter children are living in the household of Nathan Nicholson (believe Nathan's wife and Sophia may have been sisters). Any information appreciated on any Baxters who lived in Alabama in that timeframe. Best regards, Grace Baxter Constantine gconstan@worldpath.net

Dear List, Can somebody please tell me how I can beg, borrow, or buy an 1830 era plat map of Jackson County? I am trying to pinpoint location of May 10,1831 land patent for my ancestor, John Johnson.
