Angela, In addition to this book, there is also a book being worked on right now or it may have already gone to press. FIRST FAMILIES OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY which will include families traced back to the Tennessee Valley counties (Jackson, Marshall, Madison, Morgan, Limestone, Lawrence, Lauderdale, Franklin and Colbert) prior to December 14 1819. Your lineage must be documented. There will also be a huge celebration in July of this year. For more information, look under: http://hiwaay.net/~white/TVGS/1stfamv3.htm Good luck. Beverly

I called this morning a ordered a copy of the Madison County History. They do take plastic. Heritage Publishing PO Box 67 Clanton, Al 35046 1.800.568.1611 [email protected] The cost, including H & S, was just under $70. Bill Hughes Ft. Worth, Texas

William Gordon JENKINS born 1808 Bertie Co. NC. first married Jane EASON, after her death in 1865 William married second the widow Eliza BRUCE, who was she (maiden name? husband name?). Any information concerning the families of both wives most welcome. Believe the EASON family was from Wake Co., NC. A daughter of William Gordon JENKENS, Mary Ann married a son of William Granberry WOODS, a neighbor. Andrew Jackson WOODS and Mary Ann were married 21 Oct 1856, in Madison Co. AL. After Andrew's death, 27 Jun 1878, Mary Ann relocated to Texas. Any information concerning these famillies most welcolme.

I've made only short, sporadic visits to the area since the 1950's, so my memory could be playing tricks. I believe the Malone "Scraps" newspaper articles in the Athens paper gave some attention to the McKinneys & another local family---a big fight, or football game, something like that? Al Hill

Hi list members, Margaret Cowart in her "Old Land Records of Madison County, Alabama" gives a short history of the county in her forward. She states, "The original land office for Madison County, Mississippi Territory was established in Nashville, Tennessee on March 3, 1807 and was moved to Huntsville in 1811. In 1807 Thomas Freeman, Government Surveyor, was assigned to survey the lands in the "Triangle" [formerly lands of the Chickasaw and Cherokees] which became Madison County, Mississippi Territory on December 13, 1808. A census of inhabitants was taken by him in January 1809. Subsequently, acting as Registrar, he received the "squatters" applications to buy their land." [which they had previously occupied prior to the Chickasaw Cessation] Huntsville remained the Land Office and the nearby Huntsville meridian is the measuring point from which the land descriptions are measured east or west of the meridian. Thanks to all about the new book. I presume the above will all be in it.

Thanks everybody for responding...This is my brick wall and don't know how I am going to resolve it since Huntsville area in l700's was evidently pretty unsettled and wild...was there any census taken in the Mississippi Territory...Was Mobile a port of entry for immigrants from England or possibly some people entered through Florida...We have always heard that Eli's parents came from England. There are so many possibilities ... thanks for listening to my meanderings but I know most of you on the list have your own share of mysteries that you are trying to solve... Martha

Is this the book that people are asking about? I found one on a list on the Web. It's called Madison County Heritage Book. Go to this site: http://www.bham.mindspring.com/~awillcut/heritage.htm#Madison They are no longer taking story submissions, but there's an address, a hyperlink to click for more info, and the price ($69.75). Also, for $12.95 + postage, you can order an indexed reprint of the 1909 classic, Early History of Huntsville, Alabama by E.C. Betts. See the page at Old Huntsville Magazine's website: http://oldhuntsville.com/oldhuntsville/newbooks.htm Happy Surfing, Angela

Martha, I don't know the full history of Huntsville, AL and Madison County. There is a small town called Madison, AL, which is also in Madison County. It is due west of Huntsville, and is considered almost a suburb of Huntsville. I don't know the years that either town or county was established. My husband's family is from that area and we've just begun tracing the genealogy. Go to www.USGenWeb.com or www.Rootsweb.com and click on AL and then on Madison County to learn more. Good luck, Beverly

Hi, everyone, I am following the discussion about the history of Madison Co. with interest. Here's my two cents worth: Madison Co. was formed in Dec. 1808 and named for President James Madison. Huntsville was and still is the county seat. Huntsville's first white settlers came in 1804-05 to the area already inhabited by Cherokees and Chickasaws, and the town was quickly established. The town of Madison is just west of Huntsville; today the city limits of both have grown to meet each other. Madison is no longer a small town; over the last 15 years it has experienced the most rapid growth of any town in Alabama during the same time period. Another bit about Alabama's history that may help you in your ancestral search is that Alabama was part of the Mississippi Territory until 1817, when it became known as the Alabama Territory. On Dec. 14, 1819, Alabama became a state. Huntsville was the first capital of Alabama, but it was only temporary. For more information, try the state archives website: http://www.archives.state.al.us/index.html Hope this helps, Angela

Have found list from LDS Family search showing Eli Lewis born 28 Apr l796, Madison, AL with a batch #72129l7, sheet 35. This is my ggggrandfather and I know that he and his brother, William Lewis were in Huntsville, AL in early l800's but had no indication of his birth being there. Is Madison the county that Huntsville is in or was there such a thing that early or is there a town of Madison? Does anyone out there recognize these names? I know that William was murdered in Huntsville AL in or around l820's or l830's. Any help will be appreciated. Martha Cosmidis
