He was son of Dr. Frederick Elliott Gordon and Sarah N. Howard Conway. Not sure when they moved to Mobile, but hope to locate his birth/christening records. They were of Presbyterian religion and members of the Government St. Presbyterian Church in Mobile after the move. The church has records of their pew fees and other things, but believe he could have been christened in Marion. Thanks in advance Mary

Hello to all, This is just a note to let you know that the 1860 Winston County census has been transcribed in its entirety. Go to http://wcgs.ala.nu and click on the "Census Records & Data" link, and then click on "1860 Winston County Complete Census." Cullman County People: Don't forget that the west part of Cullman was part of Winston until 1877. The majority of those living in this section would be on the second division of the census. Thanks, Peter J. Gossett

It is really mind-blowing with all the information on the web. I know there are a lot of documents that I need to find and order. Rueben Mahile Hollis( born January 8,1968 Died October 1952) is my G Grandfather. Darling Hollis(Born 1820 or 1823 or 1830)(My GG Grandfather) is his father and I really would like to find who this particular Darlings parents are and where he might have died. He married Sarah Ann Nolan. I believe finding this Darlings parents will answer a lot of my questions. With him being list as a Jr. in the 1850 and 1860 census I thought his father might be Darling Hollis( Born 1804 in S.C.)(Right now I call him Darling Sr.). I have come to believe that he was an Uncle. Reuben Mahile Hollis Born January 8,1868 Died October 1952 Sons: Alvin born October 11, 1891 Elbert born March 18, 1894 Emory born February 12, 1902 Gettis born July 23, 1904 Alton born August 29, 1910 My father Alton was born March 11, 1939 in Hedrick, OK. Alton is my fathers dad. Reuben Mahile Hollis is listed with Darling Hollis in the 1870 & 1880 census. I have also seen his name several ways. He is Mihele in Precinct 4, Wise, Texas in 1900 and 1910. Mahile was born in Alabama. Mahile Hollis is my G Grandfather and died in a small hotel fire in October 1952 around Tipton, Oklahoma. His dad Darling(My GG Grandfather) was born in South Carolina about 1820 (maybe 1823 or 1830) and his mother Sarah A(1834) was born in Alabama. Year: 1850 Beat 4, Marion, Alabama Page:107 Roll:M432_10 Darling Jr(27(My GG Grandfather)) is listed living with a Berry Hollis(45) who I believe is a relative. Year 1860: Weston, Marion, Alabama Roll: M653_16 page 609 Darlie Hollis Jr (30)(My GG Grandfather) is listed with Sarah(25), Thomas(6), Nancy(3) and Roseanna(1) in Weston, Marion, Alabama. Year 1870: Township 13 Range 14, Sanford, Alabama Roll: M593_39 page 334 Darling Hollis(50)(My GG Grandfather) is listed with Sarah(36), Thomas(15), Nancy(13), Mary(12), Sarah E(10), G Hubert(4) and Reuben M(2)( My G Grandfather).

His father would be my GGG Grandfather. I would also like to find out where he died. Thanks, Marc

I notice that you mentioned Walkers in Virginia. One of my ancestors was Elijah Walker who married Elizabeth Simmons on 21 Nov 1786 in Henry County, VA. They moved to Laurens County, SC by 1800 and both died there. Their daughter Agatha married Daniel Ford. Daniel and Agatha Ford moved first to Oglethorpe County, GA and then Henry County, GA where both died. Their son Elijah Walker Ford married Elvy Purser in Henry County, GA on 15 Aug 1844, and they were living in Marion County, AL by 1850 and both died there. I've never been able to find Elijah Walker's parents in Virginia.

So don't know if they are related or not.
