Is there anyone on the list that has the resources to do a death index lookup for Jefferson County? Thanks, Billy Hightower Farmersville, Texas

I was wondering if someone might look up a marriage record for me in Jefferson County. I have done some looking on the internet and local library but I do not have adequate sources to find my relatives. I need the marriage date of: William A. Scott b 1800 TN and Flora Ann Cameron b 1809 GA. They were married about 1829, I think in Jefferson County. William A. Scott was the enumerator of the 1830 census of Jefferson Co AL. He and Flora were already married then, and they are enumerated on the census but they had no children until 1832. William A. Scott was also the sheriff of Jefferson County from 1829-1834. They lived in Elyton at the time, but Flora Ann Cameron's father William Cameron was still living near Talladega. I would appreciate any information you could provide. Mike Golden MGolden603@aol.com

Can "Mary" be another name for "Matilda?"

Genealogy: Searching records can become a labor of love when you begin finding important bits and pieces of family history. It's almost like putting a jigsaw puzzle together; The more pieces that fit, the easier it becomes to complete the picture. The amount of time you spend on searching records for each ancestor and family member depends upon how accurate you want to be in recording their history. I wonder if we will ever complete the puzzle. Dorothy

Can anyone do a look up for me in the Shady Grove Cemetery in Jefferson Co., AL? I'm looking for the grave of MATILDA MORROW. I'm guessing she would have died in the early 1920's, but I'm not certain. She was the daughter of CHARLES GERALD EVANS and SARAH JONES. Many of this family are buried there. Thank you. -- Dianne

I have a small book "Civil War Records of Jefferson Co., AL" Marilyn Davis Barefield, Compiler. This contains only a very small portion of the names and in not indexed. There is a 1907 census of 358 confederate veterans living in Jefferson County. There is also a list of confederate pension application from Jefferson CO. I'd be happy to do a lookup of these names. As the book states, this is a very incomplete list of those who served from Jefferson County. The majority of my ancestors from Jefferson County serving in the CSA were found at the B'ham library on film.

Please excuse me if I have wrote before. Would you have any info on this? L & J NICHOLAS I am looking for these Nicholas women, any info would be great!! This is all the info I have, nothing else. ****************************** Lucinda NICHOLAS 1819 - 26 Dec 1902 BIRTH: 1819, Alabama DEATH: 26 Dec 1902, Hansboro, Harrison County, Mississippi Father: Jacob NICHOLAS Mother: Mary ? (I THINK IT IS COOPER) Family 1 : Charles Woodbury CREEL (s/o) Thomas and Elizabeth Dearman Creel, Jones Co, MS) MARRIAGE: 1837, Lauderdale County, Mississippi **************************************** JERUSHA NICHOLAS 1823 - ABT. 1870 BIRTH: 1823, Warrior, Alabama DEATH: ABT. 1870, Lauderdale County, Mississippi Father: Jacob NICHOLAS Mother: Mary ? (Maybe Cooper) Family 1 : Wesley CREEL (s/o) Thomas and Elizabeth Dearman Creel, Jones Co, MS) MARRIAGE: 1838, Lauderdale County, Mississippi **************************************** Hello, (this is about the Nicholas and Cooper families) John Cooper & sons family - Jacob Nicholas & daughters Lucinda and Jerusha Hi,   Surely hope somebody can help me, if not locating my ancestors, pointing me in right direction as to where to find the information I need:   Here goes:     Lucinda Nicholas (my ggrandmother) was born in AL in 1819 and died in Handsboro, Harrison Cty. MS in 1902. She married my ggrandfather, Charles Woodbury Creel in Lauderdale Cty, MS in 1837. Her sister, Jerusha Nicholas married Charles Woodbury Creel's brother, Wesley Creel. They were daughters of Jacob Nicholas, who I found on Lauderdale Cty, MS 1850 census, he was 65 at that time and showed his birthplace as TN, which would be about 1785. His wife was shown as Mary Nicholas, 67 from NC. Now this is what I have found from an out-of-print book entitled "Anywhere I Wander I Find Facts and Legends about the Creel Families, and I quote:  "CHARLES WOODBURY CREEL b 1812, SC died Scott Co. MS, listed as CHARLES W. CREEL (OF THE THOMAS & ELIZABETH DEARMAN-CREEL LINE) on the 1850 US Census of Jones Co., MS married LUCINDA NICHOLAS b 1820 d Dec 26, 1902 Handsboro, Harrison Co., MS, who had previously married a Mr. Dixon, she the daughter of JACOB NICHOLAS, son of JOHN COOPER, was supposedly a Choctaw Indian Chief who signed the Great Indian Dance Treaty, supposedly at Shubuta, MS. and LUCINDA was a midwife." I have a list of their children if the names are needed to identify these people and will furnish them if necessary.                 Although this out-of-print book says Choctaw Indian Chief, I have been on Choctaw mailing list also and have found nothing, so am trying your list. The question is who was the Indian Chief? It says Jacob Nicholas was son of JOHN COOPER, how many JOHN COOPERS were there? The only thing I have found on JOHN COOPER is that he worked among the Choctaws.               When I found JACOB NICHOLAS and his wife MARY on the 1850 Lauderdale Co., MS census neither was listed as Native American or would they have been listed that way at that time? Also, could it be that JACOB NICHOLAS' mother was NA or maybe her parents?               Any information you might give me will be appreciated. I have been searching diligently but have come up with absolutely nothing. Someone did tell me the name of the treaty was Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek and I have that in my favorites but cannot find a John Cooper or a Nicholas or any name I am familiar with. thanks
