This is a variation of a well known hoax. I am a computer system engineer. I have never seen a valid virus notice that says "quick send this to everyone". It is just a ploy to flood our internet with e-mails. For up-to-date virus and hoax information check out this link: http://www.icsa.net/services/consortia/anti-virus/ The e-mail virus/Trojan danger is in the attachments. If you don't know who e-mail is from, it is best not to open any attachments you may find in the e-mail. Just delete it. Then, empty your recycle bin. - Homer Lawless -----Original Message----- From: Deborah_A_Humphres <Deborah_A_Humphres@email.msn.com> To: ALLAUDER-L@rootsweb.com <ALLAUDER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, April 14, 1999 11:43 AM Subject: [ALLAUDER-L] computer virus >PAY ATTENTION THIS IS A KILLER VIRUS, KILLER IN THIS CASE MEANS A BAD >THING!!!!

Hello Newcomer, Welcome to genealogy. It is the most interesting and satisfying hobby I can think of. (my personal opinion) I am always glad to see anyone start researching their roots, so I thought I would help you out a little if I can. In the book "A History of Lauderdale County Alabama" by Jill KNIGHT GARRETT, Gabriel BUTLER is mentioned as one of the early settlers of Lauderdale County, AL. The other BUTLER's mentioned in this book are: A.S. BUTLER Collins O'Neal BUTLER Dallas BUTLER James BUTLER John BUTLER M.L. BUTLER N.W. BUTLER Susanna BUTLER Thomas BUTLER W.J. BUTLER , so if any of these are your family, let me know and I will send you that information too. In the book, "Cemeteries of East Lauderdale County, Alabama" which is published by the "Friends of the Rogersville Public Library" 1996, Gabriel BUTLER is also mentioned. If you would be interested in a copy of this book, you can write to FRIENDS OF THE ROGERSVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY P.O. Box 190 Rogersville, AL 35652 to order a copy. I bought my copy for $35.00 I think, but of course their would probably be some shipping charges as well. I hope this helps to get you started. There are other BUTLERS buried in this cem. if you want the rest of them. There are also BUTLERS in other cemeteries. I will look Gabriel W. BUTLER up on some CD/s later and see if I come up with other places for you to look. Nancy LOVELACE GOOCH Smyrna, GA (formerly of Florence, Lauderdale County, AL) On page 85 & 86 Gabriel BUTLER is mentioned along with family members buried at BUTLER Cemetery at Bluewater Creek. BUTLER CEMETERY AT BLUEWATER CREEK Location: Go approx. 18miles east of Florence, AL on U.S. Highway 72, turn north on a paved road just west of Bluewater Creek Bridge. Follow the road for 1 mile or until it ends at the cemetery. In the Lauderdale County Platt Book, this land was deed to Gabriel BUTLER,Nov. 14, 1818. It is believed that Gabriel BUTLER and other member of his family are buried inthe stone enclosure in the cemetery, but no marked grave was found for any of them. This is a large and very old cemetery. There is a circular drive around the old part of the cemetery, therefore the listing is in two sections, starting on the west side which is a relatively new section. Copied by Doris & Karen McGEE.

I am a beginner genealogist searching for information on Gabriel Winston Butler, b. 1779 in Sampson Co., NC, d. 1856 in Lauderdale Co., AL. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Good Morning Everyone! For those of you who are local and haven't been to the library in the last couple of days, you will be very happy to learn that the new 'state of the are' micro-printer is here. Pat

I am becoming increasingly concerned by the acceptance of any link found through another researching via the Internet. Remember, for every event you must have proof. It's not enough to find a common name. You must follow documented events backwards until you have proof to the next event. Someone else's data base does not constitute "proof Remember to document carefully census records, wills, deeds, etc. to "prove" your find. If we don't do this our descendants will have a mess to muddle through. Deb

Agree. And the same goes for published books, articles, etc. unless accompanied by documentation.

Kelly, Lawrence County, TN (just across the line from Lauderdale, AL) shows the marriage of Jonathan Howell and Elizabeth P. Spencer on 28 July 1853. Source: *Lawrence County, TN Marriage Records 1818-1929* compiled by Donna Ramsey and Kathy Niedergeses I am not a Spencer or Howell descendant. However, I had some interest to look at Spencer families due to research on another family. I would suggest you take a look at the 1850 Lawrence County, TN census which shows: Household #201 Thomas Spencer 64 M farmer NC Elizabeth 50 KY Amasa 23 TN ELIZABETH 19 TN Wm. 17 Thomas 15 Henry 13 I believe Thomas' wife was Elizabeth Brooks, married in 1813 KY. Think this might be your Liz? Thomas' sister was, I believe, Ellender Spencer who married Lemule Blythe--which is of some passing interest to me. They married 1819 in Lawrence County, TN. There are Blythe and Spencer connections to the HOLLAND family, which is my tie. I don't have any clues re *Proctor*. Nor HOWELL.

Hello all- I am looking for and Elizabeth Proctor Spencer b.1/07/1833 in poss AL d. 3/13/1875 in Van Zandt cnty TX- that married before 1854 in probably Lauderdale cnty AL, John L Howell b. 3/03/1833 in Lauderdale cnty AL. d. 5/04/1910 in Van Zandt County TX. This couple had the following children: L L "Lowe" Howell H Blount Howell W R Howell Henry Harrison Howell Clem Howell and I have 2 unknown named children's for this couple. I am assuming that "Proctor" is a surname being used for a given name as it is kind of unusual for a female name although stranger names have occurred in my research. Family tradition states that John and Betty left AL for TX in the 1840-50's and settled in the Alsa Community near the present day town of Wills Point in Van Zandt County. Any one that might be researching this line of Spencers I would love to hear from you. Thanks for reading this post. Kelly Wimberly twisteda@worldnet.att.net

Nancy, Thanks a lot for offering your services. I'll keep your e-mail address and let you know if I need any help. I am planning to be in Florence in a couple of weeks to do some searching myself. I live in Alabama and it's not that far for me. I may from time to time ask you where things are located; i.e. cemeteries, etc. Thanks. Beverly

Hello everyone... I don't have family ties in Lauderdale County, but I do live here. I wanted to say that I would like to volunteer to look up information at the courthouse, go to cemetaries, etc. AS MUCH AS I CAN to help you that aren't in this area... I am in college and I work, so I can't take on too much, but I figure every little bit helps, right? I would love for someone in the counties that my family was from to do this, but they don't. Maybe if I help someone, it will come back around in the long run, right? Just joking. Thanks, Nancy Berry

Is there anyone out there who would have any information on ELIZABETH PHILLIPS WESSON, widow of _____WESSON......can't think of his name right now....it might be JESSIE?? Elizabeth married one of my ancestors REUBEN DAVIS and they moved to Tishomingo County, MS .....they had several children and I would like to know more about Elizabeth......did she have children with Mr. WESSON? I have some names of children she and Reuben DAVIS had, but no birthdays. I visited Harmony Cemetery in Iuka MS last spring and photographed their headstones, unfortunately Elizabeth's headstone is broken and I couldn't read her death date.....does anyone have that information? Also, there are several other DAVIS family members buried at Harmony and I am wondering who these folks are and how they are related to REUBEN and Elizabeth DAVIS. If you have any of this information, please contact me at: GoochTandN@worldnet.att.net Thank you, Nancy Lovelace Gooch Smyrna, GA

Daniel J. HAYNES married Cornelia ALLINGTON on December 13 1871 at T. T. Allington's home in Lauderdale County. The ceremony was conducted by Joel W. Whettias, M.G., and the witness was R. A. Haynes. Can someone tell me something more about these two Haynes men?
