Dear Ric, Gordon Persons was Governor of the State of Alabama in the 1950s. I'm sure he must be deceased by now. In the Montgomery phone book there is a Gordon Persons III who lives at 104 Arlington Road, Montgomery AL 36105, Tel. No. 263-1513. I do not know the young man, but he is the grandson of the Governor. I hope this will help you. B Capell

My wife's grandmother Carrie Patterson Bruner Luckie was born in 1897 somewhere in Alabama. She had at least one sibling Colvin Paterson. When she was a young child her birth parents (Paterson) died, possibly in a fire. I would guess this occurred during the first 5 years of the century, but may have been before 1900. She was adopted by a Charles Bruner in Lowndes County. Her brother was not adopted by this family. Her oldest son was named John Paterson Luckie so perhaps John was her fathers name. If anyone has information about this Patterson family I would be grateful for any further leads. Rich Reed

I am looking for information about my GGG Grandfather James M. Hay who was born in Georgia but he was living in Lowndes County Ala. in the 1830's. I know he purchased land there and married my GGG Grandmother Margaret H. Harrison b. 4-4-1821( daughter of Levi Harrison b. 1792 S.C.). They married on 10-27-1835. They are listed on the 1850 census of Russell County Ala. and then on the 1860 census of Wood county Texas. In 1847 while living in Russell County James M. Hay was made the guardian of a Curtis Hay, I do not know his relation to my James M. Hay . Also on the 1860 Wood County Census in James M. Hay household there is a Thomas Hay listed born around 1821 in Ala. , I do not know his relation to my James M. Hay. I believe that it is possible that other members of the Hay family were living in Lowndes County Ala. , if anyone can help with this search please contact me. Respectfully Wally Wadsworth

Folks, I'm looking for the parents of this man that married Isabella Goff b. October 25, 1860 d. November 20, 1916, daughter of John C. Goff and Mary K. Wood. I know absolutely nothing else about Joseph Middleton Gordon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, there are some very weak information that he might have been related to the Middletons of Lowndes County, Alabama. Fred (Ric) Gordon in Texas
