    1. Robertsons in Lauderdale Mid 1800s

    3. My great grandfather's brother Thomas Robertson (B. 1835) married Eliza (B. 1842, last name unknown) around 1862. Most folks believe that Eliza was from Alabama – explaining why Thomas moved from Meriwether Co., GA and lived in Alabama for about ten years. The 1870 census shows a good match living in Township 1, Range 10, Lauderdale Co. The 1880 census shows them living near Thomas' relatives in Georgia. The 1900 census doesn't seem to show them at all. Several of Thomas' children are buried in Georgia in or near Meriwether. Does anyone have access to a good printed cemetery index that might show whether Thomas and Eliza returned to Eliza's home area – which might be Lauderdale Co.? Thanks, Steve Robertson
