If anyone around the Kennedy area has any information about Rev. Elijah Howell Sr., I would certainly appreciate getting in touch with you. I am primarily interested in the son of Elijah Sr., Elias, born in then Fayette county, Al. Any information at all could help solve some of the problems with this family that has me puzzled. I have some information that has Murdered? Where or when would be helpful. If a descendent has info on this cousin, I would certainly pay any compensation you needed to provide this information. Bill Howell

Dear Robie: There was no census for Lamar Co. in 1850. Lamar Co. did not become a county until 1877. The part of Lamar Co. the Rickmans lived in, near Fernbank, was within the boundaries of Fayette Co. that year. The Peter Rickman you inquire about was the son of Absalom T. and Shelotte (or Sarah, last name possibly Deborah) Rickman, of Pickens Co., AL. Both of them died young, and some of their children went to live with my relatives in Lamar Co.(Richard M. Baird, the son of Mahala Rickman Baird/Beard, Absalom's sister) before 1880. Peter was listed as a minor over 14 in 1880 (born 1866 or before), in his grandparents' estate records. You have Abe, or Abraham, but it is really Absalom. This is the only Peter I find that could fit as yours. Do you have access to the Heritage of Lamar Co. book that was just published? In it are 29 stories I wrote on this family of Rickmans. It goes back to the earliest identifiable ancestor, born about 1745, and goes to the present as far as I could find. I was not aware of what happened to your Peter. Please tell me where he went after he left Pickens Co. Thanks, Sabra

Sabra, So sorry to learn that you are not well and undergoing Chemotherapy - best wishes and prayers for your speedy recovery. Your generous assistance to others is to be commended.

Hi to the list: I am in need of an obituary for my ggmother named: Hattie Blanch (Duncan) Channell (b. 3/16/1888). She died in Lamar County in June 30, 1958. I don't know what paper it would have run in since I am not familiar with the area and have had no luck finding the obit on the internet. Any suggestions would be appreciated! thanks tamara channell shaw

My Lamar County book arrived yesterday and I haven't been able to put it down. It is great. Kudos to the committee. Irene jibarnes@airmail.net

Dear Listowners: I need to clarify the price of the Lamar Co. Heritage Book. It will not go up to $70 until Feb. 19. It is still $64.40 mailed, or $60.40 if prepaid to be picked up in Sulligent on the 25-27 of Feb. There will also be a $5.00 shipping fee added to that $70 price on the 19th. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks, Sabra
