Looking at my original post (see below), the people in the first two sections--all but one--are either "mulatto" or "black." The people in the last section are either known white slavewoners of the persons named in sections 1 and 2, are a slaveowner's married relations, or had some kind of working affiliation (as found in documents). As you'll see, I'm looking for all kinds of folks. Amazingly, they all lived in Macon Country for periods that extended beyond just one generation, almost five generations, from about 1830 to the present. Now, you'll all know about as much as I know about these people!. So, with some of your input, maybe I can start to put some closure on some of these lineages. I am particularly interest in the white families of John A. GREEN and H.A. LANE; I want to find the slaveowner of Mary A. Lewis; and, I need a-n-ything that will help me to identify Sallie Lennard's origins, her family...any documents listing slaves: wills, bills of sale, returns, appraisals, deeds, inventories, rental receipts or leases, etc., could contain answers. These have been my brick walls. Any info. will be greatly appreciated.

Opelika is the county seat for Lee co. ed

David - Lee County (and Bullock) were both created from Macon Co.--I believe--in 1868. Very possibly the William Lee shown in Lee County is the one you've been looking for when the district was in Macon; Auburn is now the county seat of Lee County. In my own research, I have found some family lines that began in Macon, but in later census record appear in "new" neighboring counties, due to redistricting. Annette

Hi, Would like to correspond with anyone having connection to Frederick Gibble THOMAS who was married to Rebecca ESKRIDGE. He died 9 March 1851 in Macon County, Alabama. Hope to get a response soon! Sincerely, Linda Plaisance Knecht Lafayette, Louisiana LPKnecht@aol.com
