On the map of Jackson County by the State it shows Township 3s range 5east as the Tupelo and Maynard Cove Area. 1S, 5E is the Hytop Area. There are numerous cemeteries in both areas.

Could someone from Jackson County tell me where 1-South 5-East is located. What area does this cover or did this cover in 1838? Thank you Charlotte

The address for Masons in Alabama is Alabama chartered 1821 P.O.Box 6195 3033 Vaughn Rd. Montgomery , AL. 36106 What the records can tell you are : Members name, Lodge number, Location, the degree of membership in the lodge a date will usually be given after terms meaning the day the man recieved the Masonic degree. if the man has been a member in another lodge. If the man was dropped from the lodge the date he renewed his membership.The date the member with drew his membership. When he died. I have a sample letter to send asking for infromation if you would like it let me know. Judy

Thanks for your response -- I didn't know about the 24 hour law. I had guessed that possibly Julia Ann or JC's siblings, if he had any, might have been some distance away; I'm pretty sure Mary Margaret was in western AL, around Red Bay.

Go to any search engine and type in Free Mason Jackson County Alabama and it will bring up some sites where you can see all the Blue Lodges in Alabama. There is a place where you can e-mail them also. I doubt that you will get much genealogical information from them.

Ask any Lodge secretary the name and address of the State Secretary and write him. If any records of that Lodge are available he will know or can tell you who to write to. How much value the records will be is highly questionable regarding genealogical value.

I am "stonewalled" in finding my ggrandfather's (James C) parents, birthplace, etc. In the 1880 AL census he is listed in Jackson County as a Mill Worker, bn 1846 SC, died 27 Jan 1888 in Paint Rock, married to "Caroline" with daughters Mary Margaret (my maternal grandmother) bn 1876 AL and Julia Ann bn 1875. J. C.'s obit was in The Scottsboro Citizen's 2 Feb 1888 publication -- death due to pneumonia -- and strangely (to me) the same paper's 12 Jul 1888 edition referenced his funeral which was preached the previous Sunday at Paint Rock. Any ideas as to why the funeral was some 5+ months later?? I would much appreciate any information on this family; if anyone is researching I have Mary Margaret's information forward. Gay Parrish

Gay, this was a common practise due to distance of relatives and slow transportation. Few bodies were embalmed and the law required burial within 24 hours if not embalmed. Weather was also a factor, especially in Northern locations.

If anyone comes across a good plat map for Jackson Co., Alabama, I am looking to scan it (copyrights permitting) and place it on my website where I have started to post plat maps of neighboring DeKalb Co., Alabama (www.geocities.com/marcuscthomas) Please email me if you find one. You can find out who owned land where at the Bureau of Land Management site. There is a link on my site follow the DeKalb County Land Maps link.

Does anyone know when John BULLARD, son of Robert and Sethany Allen Bullard died or where he is buried? John was born 1806 in SC and migrated with parents to GA where he married first Matilda Reynolds and second Sarah (Lunsford or Goss). He and family moved to Alabama. Daughter Nancy was the first child born in AL according to census records (1846) Nancy was still in home with John in 1860 Jackson County Al census before she married Ab Keith 1869 Jackson County. Ab and Nancy are buried in the Central Cemetery in Argo, Alabama Thanks for any clues Doris Mayer Reece Branchville Alabama

check online for the post office locations.. there are old postal location books & some libraries have them.

I appreciate any guidance on these questions I have and Jackson County is what I am looking for./Sherry 1) Where should I look to find out where the Post office areas are located that are on the census records? Example is where is Paint Rock or Big Coon or Stevenson in physical location to one another? 2)Is there a way to find out where a particular family lived if they did not own land? 3) On the land records that give the longitude and latitude does anyone know where I can access a map that I could find the location using that information or where I can buy one?

I posted a class photo of the Tumlin (or Tomlin) school (also called Frogpond) from about 1919. This school was in Jackson Co., AL near the DeKalb line (and very near the Sardis Community) and some of these families crossed over to Dekalb. Surnames include: Thomas Galloway Pendergrass White Black Monroe Nix Oshields Sparks To see it, go to my homepage www.geocities.com/marcuscthomas and click on "Tomlin School" email me for a higher resolution copy. mctlrt@erols.com Marcus Thomas

Would greatly appreciate having the name and address of a qualified professional genealogy researcher to investigate a specific item related to Jackson Co., AL. Wish to determine their research rates, etc., before starting any investigation. William Cunningham married Nancy Hughes on 27 Jan 1861 in Jackson Co. They had three daughters before he was killed at the end of the Civil War. They were Mary L., Frances, and Elizabeth Cunningham. Nancy (Hughes) Cunningham then married Robert Gilliland on 30 July 1871 in Jackson Co. The Gilliland's were known to have had one daughter, Susan Gilliland. Nancy (Hughes/Cunningham) Gilliland was found to be living with only her daughter Susan as of the 1900 Jackson Co., AL census and is believed to have died in ca. 1905. I am most interested in knowing what happened to the three daughters of William and Nancy (Hughes) Cunningham. Toward that end, would like to have thorough research of Jackson Co. marriage, will, probate, land records, etc. Am not having any success in uncovering this story using the available remote research tools. Hope that a qualified professional genealogy researcher in Jackson Co., might be more successful. Herb Cunningham herbc@ionet.net
