I am reviving my search for information on the Threet and Waldrop families of the Threet's Crossroads area in Lauderdale County. Other threads I am following are the Shelby, Gray and White families. Patricia

Any relation to the Thomas Waldrop Family of Hardin Co., TN? Thomas and family came from Whitley Co., KY to Hardin Co., about 1840 and was in Hardin Co. in 1850. I have not found him in 1860. His wife Isabella White Waldrop is enumerated in the 1870 Census of Hardin Co. I suppose Thomas probably died in the 1870's?

Tell us what you are currently working on! One of us just may have an answer or two for you. Pat Pat M. Mahan CC Lauderdale Co AL & List Administrator I am working on James Albert Spires of Cloverdale who married (2nd) Nancy Raines. I found him in one census record in Lawrence Co. AL. with his children from a first marriage. I would like to find out where he was from, his first wife's name and where all the children ended up. Beverly Bryant Texas

Hi Pat, I am a neighbor in Hardin Co., TN. A goodly number of my ancestors and their neighbors were in a local Cavalry unit which was organized in the fall of 1861 and became "G" Company of the First Cavalry Regiment in 1862 soon after the battle of Shiloh. The original Regiment had 4 companies form KY, 2 from AL and 4 from TN which included the Hardin Co. unit. The AL companies were soon transferred to Roddy's outfit in north AL. In 1864 when the First was close, Hardin Co., "G" company was allowed a furlough. I think they actually may have been trying to recruit new soldiers. In any case, after a couple of days in Hardin County, one of "G" Company soldiers was killed at his home by Yankee bushwhackers. Col. Jacob Biffle and the 19th with some members of the First Confederate were organized to chase the Bushwhackers, going up Holland Creek to the Waterloo area and to a place called BLUFF CREEK AL where a skirmish occurred. My question is: Where is Bluff Creek AL and is there a record or tradition of a Civil war Skirmish there? David PS: Bert Hays lived on Holland Creek. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Mahan" <mahan123@comcast.net> To: <ALLAUDER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 5:20 AM Subject: [ALLAUDER] Lauderdale Families > Good Morning All, > > Is there anyone out there?

Alice, I don't have any connection to the Cox family that I am aware of, but my Cagle family also originated in Moore Co., NC. My particular part of that family moved to Mecklenburg/Cabarrus Co., in the 1770's then came to Hardin County TN in the 1820's. I am still located over here in Savannah, Hardin Co.

I am researching theTerrell family and the Parrish family from Lauderdale County. Karen

I am researching Joseph THORNBERRY and wife Mildred who married Howell McLEMORE after the death of Joseph. Joseph's and Mildred's daughter Margaret Tabitha Thornberry married Theophilus WALL (1836) and this is my direct line. The Thornberry family was in Lauderdale Co. ca 1820+ and the Wall family was there ca 1830 until after 1840 when they moved into Itawamba Co. MS. Administrator of Joseph's estate was Archibald FUQUA. If anyone has any information on any of these families, I would appreciate hearing from you. Jean McCullough

I am working on the Barron surname in Lauderdale Co,Al especially Alexander and John Barron who show up on the 1830 census of Lauderdale. Tom Stephenson Texas

I am searching for any information on the parents and/or siblings of John Cox born 1808 in NC, probably Moore CO., who married Mary "Polly" Hill whose parents were in Moore CO., NC, and whose children were born there. They moved to Lauderdale CO., AL, probably ca. Jan 28, 1842 after the birth of their last child, P. Anderson Cox.. I believe there may have been family ties with other Coxes in Lauderdale CO., AL, who were from Moore (previously Cumberland} CO., NC; However, I have found no documentation to that effect. Any information regarding relatives of John Cox previous to the birth of his children will be greatly appreciated. Alice (Cox) Garrett Tell us what you are currently working on!

Good Morning All, Is there anyone out there? I know the Christmas season puts almost everything 'on hold' but this list is beginning to gather cobwebs! We've had several people join the list since Christmas and they must wonder if there is another person on this list beside the list administrator. I'm going to start this off by telling you that I am currently researching a former slave named John H. Rapier. His son, James T., was well-known and much has been written on him, but hardly anything has ever been done on the father. Right now, I can tell you that John H. was a body servant to Richard Rapier. Richard was adamant that John H. be freed. His will, dated 1825, is almost totally devoted to the accomplishment of John H.'s emancipation. John H. was born in slavery, about 1807 in VA and died a free man in 1869, Lauderdale County, AL. He purchased his first piece of land in 1831, so he definitely was set free.
