Posted on: Limestone County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Limestone/10601 Surname: LAWRENCE, WALLACE ------------------------- For some 15 years we've been searching for the ancestry of James Arthur Lawrence (JAL) b. 25 Aug 1865 TN, d. 2 Feb 1918 Inez, TX, m. Ruth Wallace b. 1869 TN. They married in San Marcos, Hays County, TX in 1893. They owned property near Henly, TX contemporary with other Lawrences, including Henry Overton Lawrence, son of Matterson Lawrence, a doctor, both buried in Henly, Hays County, TX. Matterson Lawrence appears as Madison Laurence in the 1850 census in Monroe County, WV and as Madison Lawrence in 1860 census in Lavaca County, TX. No relation established to JAL. Family tradition says JAL was raised near where TN, MS and AL "corner out" in the towns of Shanghai, AL (near Hickory Hills in Limestone County) and Ikua, MS in Tishomingo County. His mother's name was Molly Agnes. His father may have been named James Arthur also, or John. His father was one of five brothers who fought in the Civil War. Three were killed. His father died nine years after the War was over. JAL had siblings or aunts and uncles named Lella, John, and twins Hubert and Herbert. They moved together to the Choctaw Nation, perhaps near Ada, OK. Some family disagreement, perhaps involving a woman, caused part of the group to move to Texas. Which ones moved and their relation is not known. We first see JAL at the time of his marriage to Ruth Wallace in Hays County in 1893. On the 1900 census he gave his birthplace as TN, father NC, mother AL.

Bill, Mary Etta Rose was daughter of Burtice Smith Rose and and Martha Jane Shoemaker (granddaughter of Bennet Rose and Nancey Burney).. She was born 8-28-1867 in Limestone Co. and died 2-13-1959 in Limestone Co and buried in Temperance Oak Cemetery. She married Doc Clark Ramsey on 12-23-1883. He was born 3-22-1861 in Limestone Co. to Mike Ramsey and Sarah Elizabeth Goode. He died Feb 13, 1934 and is also buried in Temerance Oak Cemetery. They had 7 children Sarah Jane b. 2-1-1885, Matthew Bennett b. 7-13-1887, Bertice Irene b. 6-5-1890, Samuel Curtis b. 7-4-1894, Walter Lee b. 12-25-1901, Jewell Marie b. 9-29-1906 and Carlos Oat b. 6-14-1910. Mary Etta was my Grandfather's first cousin (William Jefferson son of Alfred Alexander a brother to Burtice). This info came from a report by Christine Rose of the "Rose Family Association" and included in the book "An Alabama Rose Garden" by James Lynn Parham and centers on "The Rose Family of Lauderdale and Limestone Counties". There are a lot of Ramseys listed that I assume are descendents. I am just another one of the Roses with my middle name spelled Burtis.

Since making that original post, I've learned that my gg grandfather was not the son of John G. Russell. He did indeed have a son James, but it wasn't my James. : ( I'm making a little progress now though, as at least I know what TN he was married in. Onward and upward! Thanks again. jane

Posted on: Limestone County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Limestone/10591 Surname: RUSSELL ------------------------- Hi, I saw your post regarding John G. Russell being the possble father of your James Russell. Well, I'm not sure about that but I think I have A John Garland Russell (B. 1810) that married an Eliza Jane McAllister in Madison County, AL, (1832) but died in Athens, Limestone County, AL. I don't have any descendants of his, but have one generation up plus his brothers trees.

Posted on: Limestone County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Limestone/10588 Surname: Alexander Whitehead ------------------------- I have info of land sold in Loundes County Mississippi in 1835 by "Alex" Whitehead. This land is now in Noxubee County Mississippi. 1840 census shows Alexander Whitehead in Winston County Mississippi next to Joshua Whitehead. I believe this Alex is the brother of Joshua who may have sold his land, visited Joshua then returned to Lauderdale Co. Al. Maybe curiosity goes many ways ! !
