Hi, I first want to apologize if you get doubles, because I am posting this to several different list. I have just found another 'new' cousins, who gave me more information. He states that my first EDNEY, John, supposedly owned a ship, and brought prisoners over from Ireland. He had two sons, who were part-time preachers. Their names were Samuel and Ishmial/Ishmal, (I am guessing at this spelling). One of the brother's was going to preach for the other brother to marry a STEPPE? Something happened and the brother's had a misunderstanding of some sorts, and the families split. I do not know which 'side of the fence' mine fell on, and don't care! Anyway, a Samuel EDNEY, born 1734, married Mary KELLY? They had Robert EDNEY, born Feb. 15, 1770, locations, I don't know? Then Robert married and I maybe have a generation missing, because I have down that his son was Millard EDNEY, born Jan. 1857, in Fayette Co., AL. Millard was my great great grandfather. He married Martha Virginia 'Jennie' LAVENDER. Milliard (railroad man) and Jennie had: (probably not in order) John EDNEY, Claude EDNEY, Carniff Ruff EDNEY, (railroad man) Mary Keifer EDNEY, Carey Austin EDNEY, (miner) Wilma EDNEY, and Drue EDNEY. Mary Keifer EDNEY was my great grandmother. She was born 1881 in Columbus, MS. Mary Keifer EDNEY married Hezakiah Clark GORE. Millard and Jennie's family relocated around the Birmingham Jefferson Co., AL. area. Can anyone help me with any of my EDNEY's. I know that Martha Virginia 'Jennie' EDNEY and Claude EDNEY are buried in Elmwood Cem. in Birmingham, Jefferson Co., AL. But I can not find Millard. He may have been sent back to Fayette Co., AL, where he possibly was born? Seeking any info and help on any of these names. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Kay R. MUSIC

Tonight after 10 p.m. Channel 6 News Tuesday's Good Morning Birmingham Show- 7-9 a.m.; after 6 p.m. news;and in 7-9p.m. slot The FOX 6 student featured for this week has deep roots to Pikeville, Marion Co.-- from early settlers of Holloway/Meadors, McKay/ORear, Willett/Franks, Terrell/Mozley/Glasscock, Cantrell/Wood and the later Guin and Gosa families. He is grandson of Myrtle Williams/Jeff McKay natives of Marion/Lamar Counties and was selected by Fox 6 NEWS as Walker Co.'s 2000-1 Academic Champ. He is a personable young fellow, busy with community and academic activities, who plans a career in medicine -- maybe headed back to west AL in rural medicine. I'm always interested in descendants of these early settlers and thought someone else might be also. Good genes from those early Marion Co. settlers!
Dear List: I am wondering if anyone knows anything about the family below found in 1870 Sanford (Lamar) County, AL here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/al/sanford/census/1870/0311A.gif Street, William A. age 29 b. TN Nancy C. age 27 b. SC Mary M. age 4 b. AL John J. age 2 b. AL Moore, John T. age 21 (farm labor) b. SC I believe the last person shown is my John Thomas Moore (major brick wall). I am wondering if there's some connection between John & Nancy C. since they are both b. SC ??? Any help in proving or disproving my theory would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Allison
Hi Wanda, I have a brick wall when it comes to a Cantrell line in my family. This maybe a long shot, but I thought that I would ask if you have ever heard of a G. Wesley Cantrell who married a Rebecca Susan Custer " Susie". I know that they never had children and that he died before 1910. They are both from the Lamar/Marion Co., AL and Monroe Co. MS area. If not, would you know of anyone that I might ask about him?
