I am new to this list and not at all familiar with Jackson County, so I am hoping someone can help me! I believe my great great grandfather, James Lafayette Welch, is buried in a cemetery in Martintown. The Jackson County genweb page lists many cemeteries in Jackson County, but they are not listed by city. Can anyone out there give me more information on Martintown? Thank you. Susan Kendall SusieQ1160@aol.com

Hello -- I'm new to the list. Is anyone researching Camerons of Jackson county (1840's - 1860's)? Please let me know if you have any info on this family. Also, I understand that there were men from Jackson County who were in the 12th Alabama Infantry. Does anyone know where I can get a muster list (on-line) of the soldiers in the 12th Alabama Infantry (CSA) ?

Does anyone have any information on John Jackson and wife Charlotte Terry in Jackson Co about 1880..they would be in their mid 60's..possibly living near George Washington Boozer and their daughter ( wife) Sarah Jane JACKSON. Also could be near William Lackey and Nancy Reynolds. Does anyone have any census records they could check? Thanks so much.

Hi, I am new to your list and was looking at the Jackson Co AL website. At the DUNAGAN CEMETERY I got an error message. Could someone tell me where this is and the names listed there for burials? Also, looking for a Gilley family who lived near Dutton, so probably buried near there. Could someone give me the information foror give me the cemetery they are in: Grant Gilley and his wife Julia Ann Gilley? Also, are marriage records for Jackson Co AL online? If not does someone do lookup's? I would like a date for the above Gilley couple. Thanks in advance for you kindness and help. Karen Smith Louisville KY

Looking for information on John Jackson (b.1816) and wife Charlotte Terry (b.1819) Thought to be in Jackson or Dekalb County in the mid 1880's. The daughter, Sarah Jane Jackson(1839-1912) and her husband George Washington Boozer (1834-1926) were in Jackson Co from 1875-1882ish. I think her folks may have moved with them. I suspect GW Boozer and Sarah Jane may have lived nearby the William Lackey/Nancy Reynolds family as their children later married. Nancys folks were from Jackson Co..named Calvin Reynolds (b 1800ish) and wife Millie (last name unknown) Any leads on any of these names would be appreciated. Thanks, Lorna

Hello List, Did someone send out a link to Liberty Hill Cemetery Jackson Co. Al.? I received it in a mailing to the list but failed to bookmark it. If you know where I can find the index to this cemetery please let me know. Felishia

Hi Listers: Is anyone out there searching for Daniel Norman??? My line as follows: Daniel NORMAN, born 1803/1808, North Carolina, and died 1861-1863, place unknown. He married #Eleanor GRIGGS on 1 Jan 1824, Franklin County, Tennessee. He married #2 Polly HUTTON on 1 Jan 1928, Franklin County, Tennessee. This second marriage resulted in a bigamy charge, in 1831, which prompted Daniel to leave Franklin County, Tennessee. By 1840 he was in Jackson County, Alabama. In 1850 Daniel was in Jackson County, Alabama with a wife named Litta, he apparently married @1842. Litta's maiden name is unknown. She was born @1825. Daniel and Litta had the following children: #1-James NORMAN born Feb 1844, Jackson, Alabama. I believe he married Jane Elizabeth ROSS on 3 Jun 1867 in Humphreys, Tennessee. #2-Henry NORMAN born @1846, Jackson, Alabama. No further information. #3-Dennis Alfred NORMAN born Mar 1847, Jackson, Alabama,died 25 Jun 1914, Davidson County, Tennessee. He married #1 Martha Jane RAINEY, 5 Sep 1871, Williamson County, Tn. He married #2 Della SLINKARD 14 Dec 1893, Williamson County, Tn. #4-Riley NORMAN born @1848, Jackson Alabama.

In December 1863, five of Daniel's children were brought to Nashville, Tennessee, by their mother, Litta, to be close to her oldest son James, who was a Union soldier and in a hospital in Nashville. Litta died 2 days after arriving in Nashville on 4 Dec 1863, and the five children were placed in an orphanage. James took his brothers, David Crockett and Daniel Webster, back to Alabama. Mary Ann remained in the orphanage, George W. was sent to the County Asylum because of epilepsy. He was four years old at the time. Daniel Norman was reported to be a Federal soldier who had died prior to 1863. His children were supposed to have drawn a pension for his military service, although I have been unable to find any record of it. Daniel Crockett Norman and Lucy Ann Jackson Ferguson was my g-grandparents. They had the following children: #1-Joseph A. NORMAN, born @1876 married Verna McQUISTON. #2-John Mance NORMAN, born 25 Nov 1877, Williamson, Tn. married Martha HALE. #3-Carter Frank NORMAN, Sr. born 2 May 1883, Union City, Obion County, Tennessee, married Bette HUMPHREY. #4-Jennie W.

I am searching for information on William H. Hill, son of Ellis G. Hill and Elizabeth Thompson, b. ca 1856 on western edge of Bridgeport, Jackson cty, Al.. Grandson of Thomas Allen Hill and Nancy ? who arrived from Tn about 1827 and remained thru 1830-1880 census. Ellis was their first born. William(Billy), my grandfather, appears in 1860,1870 Jackson cty censuses but then disapears until 1898 when he changed his name to Thomas William Hill and married Carrie Adkinson, Kuttawa, Ky in Metropolis, Il. Kuttawa and Metropolis are both located on connecting Tennessee, Ohio rivers. After their first born they moved to Corrigan, Polk cty. Tx where he worked with lumber mills. Died there in 1919 flu epedemic. Rumor has it that Billy had a hotel in Mobile but lost it in poker game. May have lived there with a wife and children. Not found in 1880 Mobile cty. census. His marriage application in 1898 shows "traveling salesman" with his home as Victoria, Marion cty. Tn, which is located about 40 miles norh of Bridgport. At that time he had two brothers and a sister living in or near Victoria. His mother, Elizabeth, died in 1879, His father remarried and reportedly died and was buried in Victoria in 1898, the year Billy (re)married. I have a strange written story about Billy and his youngest brother Calvin Dean (b.1873) who lived in Bridgeport until 1890 when he moved toVictoria, Tn. The tale spans many years. It must be aprocryphal because it contains serious factually conflicting data on ages and dates. The tale describes a visit Billy made to the local store in Victoria to buy some oil for the lamps. He stayed longer than he had been told and on his return home his father beat him and he ran away and stayed away for many years.. His mother(who died in 1879) grieved until she died with a broken heart. Th source of this written tale is unknown.
