Does anyone know what the charge would be if you write the Clerk at the Lamar Courthouse, requesting a copy of a deed, giving the Record Book number and page, date, and names involved? Thanks, Peggy

Hello List Members: I had major computer problems during the month of October. I lost a lot of info. If you emailed me and I haven't replied, please email me again. I hope to get back going and post more information to my Lamar County Kin Website soon. http://www.fayette.net/carruth Barbara Woolbright Carruth

I am searching for information on the Hall family of Lamar Co, AL. According to census records John G. Hall was born NC between 1809-1818 and married Mary A., born SC. One of their sons was Mark Hall, who was enumerated as 4 years old on the 1850 Fayette Co, AL census. Was this the same Mark Hall, born 1845, who is buried in Egger Cemetery in Caledonia, Lowndes Co, MS? Mark Hall, son of John G. Hall appears to be the same Mark Hall who married Matilda abt. 1870, probably in Lamar (then Sanford) Co, AL. Does anyone have information on any of these families? Carol Shrader

In the 1850 Census of Fayette Co, shows John Smith at age 88, born in SC. Can someone tell me if this is the father of William Henry Smith ? The John Smith I seek lived on Mill Creek N. of Kennedy and bought land there in 1824. Also, does anyone know where John Smith is buried. His son William Henry Smith is buried at New Canaan Cem. Thanks

There is one thing that I find interesting and that's your MILLER connection. My husband is a descendant of John Black (son of Elizabeth) and Jane Caroline Miller (daughter of William Miller and Elizabeth Wilson). Wm Miller and Elizabeth Wilson were in Chester Co., SC, before their move to AL. I wonder if there's a connection between the two Miller families? I would be interested in some information on the children of Thomas Miller. Also would like to know if you've found other families from the Lamar Co. area in Arkansas where your family settled. Good luck in your search and please keep me posted. Jacque

Smith Black was accidentally killed by the Home Guard during the WBTS. According to the estate settlement he was living in Oakflat, Arkansas. My understanding of the receipts is that he was deceased by the time of the settlement because it refers to his estate. Do you have any info on him? Also, do you know what happened to Martha, age 12, listed on the 1850 Marion Co. census in this household?
