My Great Great Grand Father Thomas E. Hargrave lived in Madison County, Alabama from about 1827 to 1848. He married Amanda Williams in 1828, they had a daughter. He married Paulina Martin in 1831, they had three sons and three daughters. Are there any descendents of these people still in Madison County.? Does anyone know what happened to Thomas, Amanda, Paulina or the seven children.? Any help would be most appreciated. James E. Hargraves

All of the above were born in Madison Alabama. My ggrandfather was Gaston D. Hunsucker b. 1855. Does anyone out there know the relationship between Gaston D. and the Harrison's listed? Thanks Lynn Hulette

I have a partial synopsis of an entry from Deed Book P, page 708, dated 17 Dec. 1836. Can anyone help me to fill in the blanks? In this deed, David WALKER and his wife Martha sell to Andrew ICE 640 acres of land, and also FR. #93. (What does FR #93 mean?). "This covers parts of Sec 36 and 36 T6 and of Secs. 1 and 2 T7 R2 E, the 640 acres being the reservation of Amos ROBERSON and being the reservation to which the said Eliza before her marriage with William MILLER, which tract I do warrant. (something must have been omitted). Signed, George CHENNAULT, J. P., and Morgan H. BARRETT, J. P. My Andrew ICE was married to a woman named Eliza, so I wonder if it is her? Is Eliza dau. of Amos ROBERSON? Was Eliza m. to William MILLER? You can see that I need help. Happy to pay someone to check this deed book. Please let me know. Thanks, Carol in CO

Could someone tell me the best places I could contact to find out what sources exist for Madison/Huntsville Co history & genealogy in the 1820s and 1830s, please? I am wondering about things like the locations of tax lists, maps, land records, newspapers, etc. All thing things I need to flesh out the sparse information that I have which is only that Captain George Sterling Smith had a plantation in the Huntsville area in the 1820s & 30s. Daughters married into the HObson, BOLLING, CHENEY and LITTON families. Thank you for any help you can give me in this mattter, Suella Fogg Postles

I have lost jbrown's original request so was happy to see it reprinted in your answer. Limestone County and Cotaco were a part of the Alabama Territory which was formed in 1817 after being a part of Mississippi Territory). There was no Morgan at that time. Alabama became a state in 1819. Delegates to the constitutional convention of 1819 numbered 3 from Limestone, 8 from Madison and 2 from Cotaco. Cotaco was created by the Alabama Territorial Legislature on Feb. 6, 1818 on lands acquired from the Cherokee Indians by the Treaty of Turkeytown. The name was changed on June 14, 1821 to Morgan in honor of General Daniel Morgan(Virginia) a hero of the American Revolution. Decatur may have been a place already in Cotaco since the Battle of Tripoli which made Stephen Decatur a hero, was fought in 1804. You may see maps of the 1819 and 1821 delegates along with a wonderful timeline and many interesting facts about Alabama history at the web page of the Alabama Department of Archives and History. http://www.archives.state.al.us/counties/morgan.html You can use the same address for Madison Co. just substitute madison instead of morgan.-There is a great teachers guide with online sources for those of you who are Alabama natives but may have forgotten or never had these in class. Spend some time with the Time line and its links. It will amaze you what a significant part Alabama has played in our history.

The John Walker Sadler I researching from Madison Co. Al. born 1825 was an M.D. Does anyone know anything about medical schools at that time an if their was one in the area? How would I go about checking their records? I'm hoping someone can help me find any info on him to connect him to parents or siblings. Thinks Richard

Hi, I am new to this list. Is anyone researching MITCHELLs in Madison County. I believe that my gg-grandfather was married in Madison County on Feb. 14, 1820 to Ruth Marlot Young. I think that his father was Isaac MITCHELL, Jr. and that he also lived in Madison County. Does anyone know anything about this family? Are census records on-line? Also, I would like to order copies of the marriage records for Daniel MITCHELL. I have the address for the courthouse. Can someone tell me the fee for copies of records - I want to include a check with my request? Thank you, Susan Wood mailto:[email protected]

A big thank you to Mary Winn the information on William Bradford Tipton and Rebecca Ann Williams Tipton. I did not have any of this information. Also, I had Charlotte Schrimshers name but did not know who she married. Mary, the information was a tremendous help! Jack Fryar, Thanks for all the information you've posted also. I have heard that there were two William Williams families in Madison County. A Williams researcher told me. Off the top of my head I do not have any information on William Williams in Franklin County, TN. However, I have lots of information not in the computer yet. I'll look through some of it and if I find anything, I'll let you know. Gem, I do not know enough about the Tiptons to know if mine is descended from Shadrack or Benjamin. Peggy

Susan Wood, I have not done much research on Isaac Mitchell of Madison County, AL...I need to run land records, wills, etc. Our family tradition is that Isaac Mitchell was the father of Margaret Mitchell who married Josiah Miller.

John M.T. Kemp born Dec. 7, 1822 in Alabama, married Lavica Walker June 30, 1852 in Tishemingo, Mississippi. His Father was Allen H. Kemp Born about 1797 in Georgia. He married Dorcus Russell August 28, 1816, in Madison, Alabama. I also need to know about John M.T. Kemps children, we think he had seven. Susan Ann, William Walker, W. America, Mary Elizabeth , Robert H. [Bob], Ellen Kemp, and Finner Kemp. Thank you for any help you may give.

Peggy Nerren Grisamore, Were there more than one William Williams in the Madison County area? Do you know who William Williams who was in Franklin Co., TN and migrated to Wright Co., MO was?....Here is a brief outline of the William Williams whose children married into the Campbell family who were descendants of my John F. Buckner and Polly Harrison...Hope this does not add too much to the confusion...but you will need to separate the various families. Jack Fryar Midland, TX PS...I see no connection to your Miller line with mine.

[email protected] Thank you so much for your reply....I have spent years trying to "sort out" the various Rogers and Carters of Virginia.....they use the same given names for their children over and over....For a while I thought the Joseph Rogers of Culpepper was the same as my Joseph Rogers of Pittsylvania County were the same....but the data does not work...thanks anyway for your kindness....I always appreciate a "lead" or a new look from someone else. Jack Fryar Midland, TX

I am interested in any information on the Tiptons in Madison and Jackson counties before 1850. Especially in descendants of Shadrach and of Benjamin. Gem

Bob, My great-grandmother's sister, Rebecca Ann William married William Bradford Tipton on December 20, 1876 in Madison County, Al. Is he one of your Tipton's? If so, do you have a date of birth for him? I only know of one child that they had, Sarah Elizabeth "Sallie" Tipton who married Charles Crockett Godbey. I also have one Hambrick. My father's sister, Ruth Nerren of Lincoln County, TN married Robert Hambrick. Ruth was younger than my father who was born in 1898. I do not have a date of birth for Ruth nor do I have a date or place where she married Robert Hambrick. All I know about him is his name. Do you have a Robert Hambrick in your data? I will share any information I have that you are interested in. Peggy Nerren Grisamore [email protected]

Hello JM Fryar Your William Rogers Family tree mentioned Jeduthan Carter, which runs through my family. This compelled me to go to my Carter Family Book--"The Descandants of Captain Thomas Carter of Barford, Lancaster County, VA". It has the following mentions of Rogers: p. 43-Catharine Brent married Charles Rogers 3/20/1762, with consent of her stepfather, Edward Carter. p. 202-Joseph Rogers of Culpepper sold to John Carter of Spotsylvania an improved plantation of 188 acres in Orange County. p. 325-Peter Carter married his first cousin, Catharine Rogers 9/23/1712. Issue: Aaron Carter, probably a son of his first wife, Catharine Rogers. He probably came of age about 1738 as August 11, 1738 he gained a suit against his guardian, robert Galbraith, who was the husband of his stepmother. Catharine Carter - no data I am searching the following names in Madison County Alabama (and Jackson Co., AL and Franklin Co., TN) ANDERSON, MORRIS, WILLIAMS, FANNING. [email protected]
