These are the Reams/Reames and people connected to them who appeared in Limestone Co. I'm trying to piece this family together. If you have information on the people connected here (Peebles, Roberts, Brumbelow, Baker, Craig, Holt....), please let me know. Thanks! Sharon 1822 (Dec 13) Peter REAMS of Limestone Co.,AL issued federal land grant in Limestone Co. # 1465 (signed by Pres. James Monroe Oct. 20, 1823) / 79.05 acres / The west half of the southeast quarter of section ten, in township 4 of range 4 west, in the District of Huntsville and State of Alabama. (This appears to be in the extreme south central area of Limestone Co. / I found no sale or transfer of this land prior to 1830, so it appears that Peter Reams must have died before 1830. -S.F.) 1830 Fanny Reams in 1830 Limestone Co.,AL federal census page 41/42 Fanny Reams -head of household (must be the female age 40-50 years) males - 1 10-15yrs, 2 15-20yrs, 1 20-30yrs females - 1 under 5yrs, 1 5-10yrs, 2 10-15yrs, 1 15-20yrs, 1 40-50yrs 1834 (Nov. 3) Martha J. Reames witnessed a deed of trust from James Carter to Alexander Hood in Giles Co.,TN. (Earlier documents show that Alexander HOOD gave a portion of his land for a schoolhouse. It makes me wonder if Martha J. Reames was a school teacher. Maybe this how the Hoods and the Reames got together. -S.F.) 1834 (Aug. 18-21) Ann Reams/Reames married James ROBERTS in Limestone Co.,AL license Aug. 18/ executed Aug. 21 (from Pauline Jones Gandrude�s Alabama Records vol.24 p.2) This James Roberts died between 1840 - 1846. A James Roberts appears in the 1840 Limestone Co.,AL fed. census living near James F. Roberts. In the 1850 census there is only one James Roberts. In the 1860 census there is a James L. Roberts. This leads me to believe that the James F. Roberts was the one who married Ann Reames in 1834. 1834-35?? Mathew J. Reams married Miranda C. Hood (Daughter of Alexander and Jane Hood) I do not know where or exactly when they were married. If it was in Fayette Co.,TN -marriage records from that time period have been lost. I found no marriage record for them in Giles Co.,TN or Limestone Co.,AL. He was born July 20, 1811 in N.C. She was born Oct. 18, 1815 in TN (probably Giles Co.) 1842 (Jan. 30) Henry J.

Hood (of Fayette Co.,TN) in Limestone Co.,AL license - Dec.28, 1844/ married Dec. 30, 1844 by Howell PEEBLES 1840 -1846 Last will & testament of James Roberts (will book 6 p.400).

I am researching the surnames Montgomery and Fisher in Limestone Co. from about 1818 to 1850. I have plenty of info to share.

John SLAUGHTER brought his family to the Mississippi Territory @ 1809. Two of his sons, James and John, married daughters of Benjamin Murrell; his son Samuel married Elizabeth WILDER, daughter of Lee and Sarah (Mials) WILDER of Wake Co., NC. John Slaughter's daughter Betsey married John JONES. I think this is John A. JONES who was living in McNairy County, TN in time for the 1840 census. If anyone is connected to these families and would like to share info, please contact me. Thanks! jbrown400@aol.com

I am still trying to find my ggg grandfather. His wife was Elizabeth Julia (Hodge or Hodges) Weston. He was married to her pre 1826. They have three known children together. Moses Riley Weston born in Morgan county, AL in 1826 per his army records. He served in the War with Mexico and died serving in that war. Other children were Nephanny (Nettie, Neffie, Neffa) Weston born in 1828 and married John Butler in Blount county, AL and Jasper Newton Weston born in 1833 in AL and married Elizabeth Lucinda Fortner in Blount county, AL. Jasper Newton Weston listed on a census his father was born in Ohio. It is a rumor in some family stories that my mystery Weston was married before and had sons Bill and Baker Weston who lived up north somewhere. Elizabeth Julia Hodge(s) Weston was rumored to be the daughter of Hugh Hodge of Virginia. She had a daughter pre her marriage to a Weston (no marriage record has been found) named Lydia Hodge. She married Calvin Tidwell who has c! onnections to Blount county, AL Tidwells. Jasper Newton Weston named his first child John Columbus Weston. He college educated all eleven of his children. A family story that has not been proven had this mystery Weston named Jacque Weston. IN newspaper articles Jasper Newton Weston was fondly called "Jop" Weston. Maybe someone down the line got this mixed up. They sound similar. It is assumed he was in North AL in the 1820's. Is anyone researching these names?
