Is their a list or book that lists the names of Madison Co. Ala. soldiers that were wounded or killed during the Civil War. I'm trying to find information on Ezekiel Matthew Craft & John R. Craft. They were sons of Ezekiel Craft Jr. and both were married to daughters of William G. Woods.(Nancy Ann & Mary Jane) They served in Company "E" of the 37th Tenn.Infantry. This company was mostly made up of residents of Madison Co. Ala.. I believe they were both killed in the war. The 37Th Infantry fought in several major battles and suffered horrible causualties. Any infomation concerning their wives would also be appreciated. Ernest Wood [email protected]

Could you see if there is a will for Samuel John Robert Stephenson who married Mary Shields. They were living in Madison in 1860 and were each about 64 years old. Their grandson,William Alexander Stephenson,died in Chicago in an early elevator accident. His wife was Dolly Darwin. I know that her father,George Darwin left a will. I would appreciate it if you would see if any of these Stephensons left a will. Tom Stephenson

I am trying to locate the descendants of Alfred Harris, last noted in the 1880 census of Madison County, AL. His siblings were listed as Alice, Brancy, Carrie, and Waddy (possibly spelled Wardie). Anyone having knowledge of this Harris family, please respond. Thanx [email protected]

Hayes, Here is additional information about James Walker's children and who they married. I also have information on the Coffman family that I can send to you.

Could you tell me more about the family of Seaborn Jones? I have two Jones sisters in the list below, Martha and Temperance, who married Walker brothers, but I have no information about their family.

Saw a message about October 1 from Barbara Ray saying the oldest Alabama ancestor she was researching was James WALKER. Barb named children but without dates. I would appreciate more information from Barb or anyone else about the WALKERS, as one of my oldest Alabama ancestors is Baldwin/Baldon/Boldin HOWARD, who supposedly witnessed James WALKER'S will 27 February 1817 and was a witness to the probate 20 March 1824. Baldwin also came from eastern (Sullivan Co?) Tennessee, sometime between 1812 and 1817. Baldwin lived in or near New Market, and is probably buried in a nearby cemetery. I am also interested in the following people who married Baldwin's children: CANON, David, m. Esther R. Howard 12 Aug 1831 CARLTON, Lucinda C. m. Michael HOWARD 26 Jul 1837 COFFMAN, Lorell/Lovell m.

I am researching, these surnames, Vining, Wallace, and English. All three families came to Madison Co., Al. in the late 1890's. Actually, the Vining family used to go back and forth across the state line, between, Lincoln Co., Tn. and Madison Co., Al. since the 1820's. Look forward to hearing from anyone researching these last names. Cyndy

Sarah L. Vann d. 1847/1848. Died in route to Texas. She married Silas Glover, son of Benjamin Glover. Silas first wife was Jenny Craft, daughter of Ezekiel Craft. Sarah's father was Lazarus Vann. She had brothers named William Jordan Vann and Lazarus Thomas Vann. She had an uncle named Thomas Vann (II). Lazarus's father was Thomas Vann (I), b. 1747 in Chowan Prec., NC. He died in 1839 in Madison Co., AL. He was 92 years old. I may have more information on this line, but this is all I have on my database at this time. Most of this information came from Ella May Underwood, a descendant and Vann and Grayson researcher. This information came in regard to the Craft/Vann/Grayson/etc. connection and a discussion about the intermarriage in her family between various Madison Co., AL families.

Ernest, Can you tell me which VANN family Sarah L. Vann was a member of ? I'm a Glover by marriage with my Baker family of Madison County, AL. I'm also interested in knowing if you have much information on Mahala (Glover) Baker? I'm here in Austin and I don't got to sit and search for long periods of times. Also I've heard there is a Glover descendabt living in Temple. Is she also part of your family? There were some Glovers in Milam County, Tx and maybe she is from that family. Sandy Walker
