The book should be out soon. It is supposed to be one of the largest of the Heritage Book series on the counties in AL.

The Lamar County Genealogical society has quite a bit of info. As for as I know there are no birth records for that time period, but there are other records available at the library and the courthouse.

Here are two pages that might help you in your research for Confederate soldiers. http://www.rootsweb.com/~alcw26/26thala.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~alcwroot/ As for the surname Guyton, there is a Guyton cemetery in Sulligent AL. I'm not sure if it has been indexed or not. Hopefully some of this will help you, or at least give you a place to get started. Theresa Whitaker > >

Hi- I"m new to the list. I'm not sure this is the right county, I saw Cathy Reisenger's name and some Guyton names so I assumed this may be the county my granfather was born in ,since I saw those names related to the same family I'm researching on worldconnect. Name: Seth L. (Jack) SMITH (L. is it for Leathan?) AKA: "Jack" Smith Birth: 1828 MS Death: 1910 TX Marriage 1 Matilda NOLEN b: 1831/1840 in North Carolina (d/o Leah and Lemuel Nolen) Children: 1.Mary J. SMITH 2.Sarah A. SMITH (Watkins/Wadkins?) 3.Frances Leora (Frank) SMITH (Frankie McCraw/McGraw? in TX in 1910) 4.Melinda S. (Lindy) SMITH (Hickman?) 5.Laura Delila SMITH (Andrews?) 6.John Franklin (Bud) SMITH b: 3 December 1866 AL m:Flora Alice Payne b:1874 AR 7.Nancy A. (Dumpy) SMITH (Hill?) Jack and Matilda are my ggrandparents, and child # 6, John Franklin"Bud" Smith is my grandfather. Jack was, supposedly, a Confederate soldier, his wife is buried in Finch Cemetery in Finch, AR. My Mom told me once(when she was alive) that JacK, her grandfather, came by their house on the way to Texas to visit his daughter Frankie McGraw in 1910. Mom had a baby brother at the time, Lowell Alonzo Smith. Her grandfather said ,"What did you name him?". When they told him, he said, "You should have named him Jack". So my Uncle Jack got a nickname, he is living in Paragould ,AR today and will soon be 90 years old. I would be interested in networking with anyone who is researching this family. I would also like to know what the Heritage Book contains. Is there an index of families covered in this book? And what about the Genealogical and Historical society, do they have records that go back to my grandfathers birth time 1866? And last but not least, does anyone know how to get info on Confederate Soldiers? I saw an S. Smith and a Nolen in the 11TH ALABAMA CAVALRY CSA list,in the same company, K, and wondered if that might be relatives. Thanks in advance for any help, Brenda.

Betts Beat would have been in the area that is now close to the Lamar County Lake and McGill's Gin. Two of the churches that would be in that area would be New Hope Methodist and Corrinth.

Is it too late to order the Lamar County Heritage Book? How much and who do I send a check to? Also, anyone know where Betts Beat was? This was a location on an 1870 census. Thanks! Jan Melton

Your new colors are really bad , it is hard to read and the blue and purples just do not show up. I don' t know if others have trouble reading it but I sure do. I go to your site a lot as I have ancestors from Lamar County. Help! Betty Moore Houston, Texas

I wonder if you could post a map of Lamar County showing the Sections, Townships, and Ranges of the county on the Lamar site. One of the other Alabama sites has done this, using a Department of Transportation General Highway Map of that particular county. It has been very helpful in researching family lines and locating towns, communities, cemeteries, churches, schools, etc. Maybe others would find it beneficial in their research, especially those of us who live out-of-state or out of the area.

The Alabama Civil War Roots Homepage is just been revised and updated at Rootsweb. Check it out at ... <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~alcwroot">Alabama Civil War Roots Homepage</A> . For those who cannot link, the URL is www.rootsweb.com/~alcwroot.

Six generations of descendants from James NEWELL who settled with his family in Tuscaloosa Co., AL about 1830, are available for viewing at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/n/e/w/James-T-Newell/ Just copy above and paste in address line, then click on "Reports" line. Any errors are probably my fault, so corrections are appreciated. Many of the Newells moved into Fayette (Sanford/Lamar) and Pickens counties in the mid- to late-1800s. Jim N.
