Hi List. I have finally had a chance to look at the microfilm of Perry's transcription of some Macon County Cemeteries. They are: Tuskegee City Cemetery HOFFMAN Family Cemetery BARROW Family, Old Andrews Chapel Pleasant Springs Baptist Church, formerly known as New Georgia Bradfords Chapel Methodist Church SEGREST-GIBSON Family Cemetery COOPER family Cemetery Neals Chapel Methodist Church SEARS Family Cemetery Ramsey Memorial Presbyterian Church SEGREST Cemetery at Cloughs JORDEN-THOMPSON Cemetery RUSH Family Cemetery These are but a few of listed cemeteries in Macon County. Once again, I am happy to look up anyone as I have this film on permanent hold at the LDS Library. Polly

Hi List Members! Since it is at that time of year when the lists start to get busy, I figured I would give you all some hints at writing more productive emails and a little bit of netiquette. Hopefully some of you will pick up on a few of these! 1) Please when writing to the list, look at the subject line in your email! Is it pertinent to your query? Or have you just hit the reply button to someone else's mail and the subject has nothing to do with your letter? Please make that subject line special to your query! 2) DO NOT hit reply to on the entire digest! DO NOT have a subject line that says Re: LISTNAME-D Digest V00 #266! That subject has nothing to do with your query or anyone else's original message! 3) When writing a query, DO NOT write in all UPPERCASE LETTERS! This is only done when you are SHOUTING at someone! 4) When writing an effective query, please put SURNAMES in UPPERCASE as this makes it easier for others to spot when reading their mail, thusly making your query more effective! 5) Try to list any dates and locations that you know! Maybe someone else will be searching that SURNAME in that time period and locality, (not necessarily your ancestor but maybe a brother, sister or cousin) 6) Always include your email address in the body of the letter too! The messages are archived. It will be easier for someone to do a search in the mail lists and see your email address in the body so if they are not list members, they can still answer you easily! 7) Be polite! No one is perfect and not everyone will take the time to use common netiquette, but that doesn't mean you have a right to tell them what to do. If you have a problem with a list member, write LISTNAME-admin@Rootsweb.com and let the list maintainer decide what to do. You have no right telling fellow list members what to do or not to do! 8) When sending a web site address, always type it in the form of "http://." because some e-mail programs will permit the user to click on a web address to go right there. Without the "http://" prefix these programs will not recognize it as such. 9) Do not blatantly promote your business by posting an advertisement to a discussion group, unless it is clearly an accepted use and you have cleared it with the list maintainer first. Otherwise, you are "spamming." 10}Do not forward personal e-mail to a discussion group without getting the author's permission first. Also do not forward from one mail list to another without the original author of the message's permission! 11) Read over your e-mail before you send it. Although e-mail is an informal method of communication, be sure you make your points clear and concise. Use a spell checker if available! 12) Consider that a large audience will see your posts. Take care in what you write. Remember too, that mailing lists are archived, and that your words will be stored for a very long time in a place to which many people have access. 13) If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original! 14) Be careful when you reply to messages or postings. Frequently replies are sent back to the address which originated the post - which in many cases is the address of the mail list! You may accidentally send a personal response to a great many people, embarrassing all involved. 15) When sending a message to more than one mailing list, especially if the lists are closely related, apologize for cross-posting! 16) When unsubscribing from a list on RootsWeb write a new email in plain text to LISTNAME-L-Request@RootsWeb.com (or -D if you are a digest mode member) with only the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message and please spell unsubscribe correctly. You have to unsub from the address you are subscribed under, otherwise you will never get off the list! If you can't use the address you are subscribed under, write LISTNAME-admin@RootsWeb.com and explain the problem. 17) Do not post virus warnings to the mail lists! RootsWeb has filtering set up where you will NEVER get a virus from a RootsWeb mailing list! 18) Always post in "plain text" If you don't know how to switch your program to plain text, see http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help/html-off.html and it will walk you through it! 19) Write LISTNAME-admin@RootsWeb.com before deciding to promote a new mailing list. Ask permission first! 20) Most of all have fun!

Hello and good to find you, I do not know yet of young William L Lee but I did find a family that the husband died as a POW in Rock Island Ill, during Civil War , I have been searching for more of my gr gr grandparents Enos and Louisa Lee family, I will find that again and send it, The migration paterns from SC TO GA TO ALA AND then Texas are interesting to me, I had no clue where they had come from as there was a house fire in the late 1800's and all the Lee records were lost I am told, Mary Elizabeth Lee is my gr grandmother and Enos and Louisa had two more children William Jesse b 1861 and Robert E b 1864. After they were in 1870 census they left and went to Washington Co Tx and Mary Elizabeth m Oliver Preston Longley .Lee Co Was later to be created from part of Washington Co and they are all in the 1880 census There, Matthew stayed in Macon Co in 1880 census , Stepehn Alexander is 32 in 1880 and with his parents, Mary is married and they are listed under Lingley. somebody spelled the Longley name wrong, Nancy I believe it is her but further work needed to make sure is living near her brother Enos Jr and is married to George W Meadows, Enos Washington Jr is married to Fanny Tate and they are parents to Jesse Washington Lee 2 months old, They are living next to Oliver P Longley's father my gr gr grandfather Calob Longley and some of his younger children.

I have yet to figure out who Enos Sr father was but there were other Lee 's in Newton CoGa and I will get back to you on that , So that I am acurate with the spellings . There is a Littleberry Lee in Macon Co Ala that was also from SC and he is old enough to be Enos father. He is 71 in 1870 census .
