I am still trying to find NA Indian information on Jacob "Jake" Nicholas, b. abt1775 TN (I am not for sure on the dates) d. abt 1860 Lauderdale Co, Ms. Married to Mary ? around 1799. Mary d. Lauderdale Co, MS ABT 1870. I have seen several family lines (from genealogist), but nothing on weither Jacob or his wife were NA Indian. I know this may be a long shot, but would anybody know if this family was NA Indian? Jacob's daughters Lucinda, married Charles W. Creel, and (J)Gerushua b.1823 Warrior, Al, married Wesley Creel. Both husbands were sons of Thomas J. Creel & Elizabeth Dearman of Jones Co.,MS. My cousin and I have did a lot of researching, and have found nothing. Any info would be great. THANKS!!

Looking for Theophilius McVay born 1837 in Lawrence Co, AL. He was one of 12 children born to Hugh B. McVay and Elizabeth Morrow. All but the three youngest children were born in Lawrence Co. The youngest were born in Franklin Co, AL. This puts the move 1852-1853. Also looking for Sidney Albert McVay. Born April 17, 1873 in *(i believe Sheffield, AL) Worked on the M and O Railroad.

If you are waiting on a reply from me or if you have e-mailed me on any family and have not gotten a reply, please resend any requests. Our computer crashed last month. We have it up now, but I know there are probably a few people out there wondering why I didnt respond. I lost all my addresses and old e-mails. I was working with a couple of people on the Clemmons, Canaday, Richardson, and Owens family. I can not remember their names, but if you recognize mine please contact me. Anyone else waiting for a response just let me know. Researching: Clemmons, Owens, Canaday, Myrick, Stutts, Killen, Whytte Jones Family, Mountain Tom Clark Family.

Mercy Me! Well, at least I know some of you were on-line when the original 'Updates' message went out! <grin> Sorry about the bad link - it's been fixed. Thanks for the 'heads up' messages from all of you. Pat

Good Afternoon All, I've put up the WPA marriages, vol. 5, 1841 - 1851. Please be sure to search for all possible spelling variations of your surname. For instance, if 'a' is the second letter, the chances are better than 70 percent that it was transcribed as an 'o'! All queries and surnames have been posted through noon today. The pages have been re-indexed. Enjoy! Pat http://www.rootsweb.com/~allauder/newitems.htm
