Does anyone know of a mill construction accident that occurred in Madison or Franklin Co., ca.1825 causing the death of a Spencer Norvell and/or John Price? Where could I find information such as this?

Gayle, There is a book in the Madison County Library in Huntsville called Industrious Children of Huntsville, listed are the children who worked in the cotton mills in Huntsville, Dallas, Lincoln and Merrimac mills. The information includes the child's name, date of birth, place of birth, family doctor, parents names, what Mill they worked for and the dates of employement. Hope this helps.

Gayle, I know Huntsville Library has some documents on the Mills. My ggrandparents worked at the Lowe & Merrimack Mills. I have tried finding some records from them but never found anything but what the library had. You have seen the book "Children of Industrial Huntsville"? Good Luck in your search! Eliz

RE: Madison Co. cotton mills There is a book in the Heritage Room of the Huntsville Library entitled "Children of Industrial Huntsville 1908-1915". It alphabetically lists the many child laborers who worked in Huntsville's cotton mills during that period. It gives their date of employment, birthdates, places of birth, father's name by initials only (or mother's if widowed), and name(s) of mills in which the child worked. MANY birthdates in my line were incorrect, especially the year of birth, and spellings are written as the recorder believed them to be or sounded them out to be. Still, this is a very useful book, especially for identifying siblings that worked in the cotton mills. Terry Lee Madison County

Would like some information on the cotton mills in an around Madison County. Are there any books which tell of the history and may list some of the employees. My parents and grandparents worked in the Dallas and Merimack Mills. Any help would be appreciated. Gayle Chisam Damerow [email protected]

Hi, does anyone know where I can find a copy of the 1820 Madison Co. census?

Bob Morrison was asking what a dower is. I've just signed up for this list and am able to pass on the definition which I myelf learned only last night. I quote from a genealocal term list which I downloaded about ten years ago from Compuserve and would have no idea how to access again: Dower - the part of interest of a deceased man's real estate alloted by law to his widow. Bill Gordon [email protected]

Are there any Lanes still living in North Alabama? Madison Co, Limestone Co, etc? Am looking for connections to William Lane, Sampson Lane, James Madison Lane and others who lived there about 1810-1840. Thanks, Sonny Lane

Hello, all: Does anyone have this PEARCE in their records? Jacob B.C. PEARCE born GA ~1835 , wife is Elizabeth STRINGFELLOW (married Madison Co AL 1867). On Madison Co AL census 1870. In 1874, my gggrandfather, James "Albert" LAFARLETTE named J.B.C. PEARCE in his petition for divorce from his first wife. I suspect that Jacob PEARCE could be related to Albert LAFARLETTE's second wife Lucinda Emaline (Evaline?) "Lou" PEARCE born GA 1837 (my gggrandmother). It's a long story......;-) Where was Jacob PEARCE born? Who were his parents? Thanks for any feedback! Pat Worsham [email protected]

It seems to me there is different defination for Dower, and I wish to thank the people that have sent a reply. Some good people out there!!!! However, one other thing is it a legal document or what that has to probated or put on record somewhere in the County. If it is a written legal document how or where would you go to check and see if there is one on file. Also, does anyone know where you might get some early Maps of Madison County, Alabama. Yrs 1810 to 1860.? Again thanks to so many that has replied so far. Bob Morrison

Need help in understanding the following about abstracting land titles: The following was in File 1773, JOHN SHARP-----(G.W. Jones who had abstracted land titles for very many years, said that dower was laid off to his widow; she conveyed her lifetime rights to someone, who held it until her death, very many years later, when it was sold. Question what does from sentence, "Said that dower", mean and would appreciate answer, in layman language. I do know that John Sharp's wife Martha Sharp died around May-July1850. This ole country boy needs help. Thanks everyone. Bob Morrison

Hi everyone, Looking for George Kennedy Tipton probably late 1800's..Sons Frank James Tipton b. June 1902, Robert Tipton..Does anyone have a census record that might show them say 1920 or earlier... Thanks, Charlotte Franklin Cathedral City, Ca. e-mail:[email protected] Ohio:  Berner, Brockman, Clark, Finkinbine, Friend, Fogt Ga:  Baker, Crumley, Dover, English, Eppes, Franklin, Holmes, Shirley, Tipton, Underwood Wheeler, Whisenant,   

Seeking information on David A. McWhorter that married Clarrisa Ann Wells in Lincoln County, TN October 1866 but the 1870 census shows them in Madison County, AL. The 1870 census shows them in Menard County, TX married to a Martha Ralston but with four children from a previous marriage. Assuming that Clarrisa had died because of the children living with the second wife. My mother-in-law was a daughter of Mary McWhorter (daughter of Clarrisa and David). Would appreciate any information anyone might have on these people.

Hi, does anyone know if there are any tax lists for the years 1822-1827 for Madison and Limestone counties? I am trying to find out if my ancestor Asa McClure (Mclure) and his brother Levi were in those counties during the years 1822-1827. These are the years which Asa and Levi would have been old enough to be listed. Asa's sisters and their husbands were there from at least 1818 when William Scallorn (Scallon) paid the Orphan's Court in Madison County $200 to marry Alice (Ally) McClure (Mclure). We have been unable to find Asa and Levi McClure's parents. Any help is appreciated. Sherry

Hi everyone, Does anyone know of a Robert or George or Thomas THOM(P)SON who was possibly born in Scotland and was in the Rev. War, who settled in Madison Co., AL at the beginning of the 1800s? I greatly appreciate any responses or assistance. Thanks, Donna [email protected]

In a message dated 1/23/99 1:18:11 PM Central Standard Time, ALMADISO-D- [email protected] writes: << I also need to look in Limestone Co., if anyone has abstracts from that county. >> No Thomson on 1820 Limestone Co, AL, census abstract or on the 1810 Intruders' petition to the President & Congress (for "removal" of the Chickasaws).David Thompson was on both lists, and may have had a son on the 1820 census, but there was no Robert Thomson or Robert Thompson in either place. Until about 1818, many white settlers listede "home" as Madison County, AL, (the only legal county in the bend of the Tennessee River), or in GA, TN, or MS. Neither Thomson nor Thompson was listed on the Dec 1810 Doublehead petition, covering the area of Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, etc. Good luck, Al Hill

I found Thompsons in Tennessee. He intermarried with the Cherokee Indians and I believe it was his grandson who went to Arkansas on the Arkansas River and had a Trading Post there. He later went to Texas. If you think this may be a possiblility let me know and I'll dig the book out and see what I can find. I discovered him looking for our Nathaniel Burdine who was suppose to be married to Annie Eddins or Lipscomb and found them in Tennessee. Carol Ann

Hi everyone, I am desperately trying to prove the identity of my gggg grandfather. I have found information in GOODSPEED's ARKANSAS from an interview with my gg grandmother's brother which gives their father's name as Robert B. THOMSON. Is there an abstract of a THOMSON will, written between 1808 and 1841 which names a son named Robert or Robert B.? I also need to look in Limestone Co., if anyone has abstracts from that county. I deeply appreciate ANY assistance on this one. Thanks, Donna Walker Eddins [email protected]
