Griffin White received a land grant in Marion County in the mid 1800's and lived there until about 1870 when he moved his family to Savannah, Tennessee. His wife's maiden name was Julia Rhea. Their daughter, Mary Jane White married Robert Lewis Clark, son of William Lee Clark, the second son of William and Chloe Clark, who were among the original settlers in Marion County. Does anyone have information about Julia Rhea? I am searching for the names of her parents.

I have the book "Heritage of Marion Co., AL". Tidwell's listed in book are Andrew J. Tidwell and Tobitha Dennis family and George and Ella Burleson Tidwell family. There are 5-1/2 pages for Tuckers. This would be the Daniel Tucker family (veteran of War of 1812) and wife Prudence Foster. Are any of these yours? Nothing on the Tidwell, McNutt or Akins families.

Karen, Good to hear from you. So others will know, Jesse Hallmark was a son of George Hallmark, Sr. who was living in Madison County Mississippi Territory by 1809 when he received a land patent. Jesse Hallmark married Mary Wright. Mary's father was Robert Wright who also received a land patent in Madison County, Mississippi Territory in 1809. The area where they lived is now Madison County, Alabama. See land patent records posted to Madison County, Alabama GenWeb. Both George Hallmark and Robert Wright served in the American Revolution from the state of Virginia. Lately whils searching the military records at Ancestry.com, I found that George Hallmark, Sr. is buried at Hobbs Cemetery, Huntsville, Alabama. (Huntsville is in Madison County) I found a listing of the names in this cemetery and George Hallmark's name was not among them. I would like to know if Hobbs Cemetery is on the property that George Hallmark once owned. Thanks for any help.

You are correct that it also was used during the War Between the States. Tories of the Hills was written by Wesley Thompson for the centennial of the war. The book is not very well written, but it does give some good insights into what was happening locally during those years.

Hi Jimmie and Ira. I'm still looking for Taylor Hallmark wife's maiden name. He married Eliza Jane (unknown). Taylor and Robert Hallmark were brothers, sons of Jesse Hallmark. Taylor was my gg-grandfather. Ira, I also have a Harris in my line. He was Thomas Harris b.c. 1795 in VA. He married Nancy Huff. Their daughter Susannah E. m. Robt. Mann. I believe this was when they lived in GA. Eventually the Mann family moved to Marion Co., AL. It might be possible that some of the Thomas Harris family came also.

Jimmie, Yes, I believe that Gracie Hallmark was the daughter of Azael Daniel & Patience ( ) Harris. There are too many unique family names for her not to be a daughter of A. D. & Patience. Also, Gracie fits into the date period for a daughter born at that time to them according to census records (1830, If I recall correctly). Patience, Azael, and Thompson, are all common names in this family line. I have NOT been able to fully document this relationship, but feel fairly certain that she is indeed part of Azael's family. J. T. is James Thompson Harris in the citation below. J. T. was the younger brother of my Joseph Perry Harris. I have not been able to make the connection ;yet, but feel that this (my) Harris line is connected to the Henderson and Thompson families.

I'm still trying to figure out the name of Robert Hallmark's wife. On Marion County census records beginning in 1850 thru 1880, she is always listed as Gracie/Gracy. Robert and Gracy named one of their daughtere "Patience" and named one of their sons "Azael" which made me think that maybe Gracy was the daughter of Azael and Patience Harris. Another of Robert and Gracy Hallmark's daughter "Martha Ann Meshaw/Meshow's" death certificate says that Martha Ann died 17 May 1930 in Calhoun County, AL. The certificate says that her father was Robert Hallmark and her mother was Martha Brown. So, was Gracie's name Martha Grace Brown?? And, which Brown family did Martha belong to? Marion County Court records lists the following: Vol 3, #178, A. T. Hallmark from J. T. Harris, then states "not in book". According to census records, Azael's full name was Azael Thompson Hallmark. Did the Harris family have some sort of connection to a Thompson family?

Dear Marion County Listers, I need your help Patience Harris was born October 4, 1846 in Marion County, Alabama. Patience was the daughter of William Wilson and Nancy Ann (Brown) Harris. Patience was the granddaughter of Azael Daniel & Patience ( ) Harris. She died December 11, 1928 in Alcorn County, Mississippi. About 1868 she married a man named Brown. I have two different Brown names on the census records and wondered which was the correct one. One census had him listed as Marion "Mac" S. Brown or Mc. S. Brown Another census had him listed as Marshal S. Brown. I believe that they were probably married in Marion County, Alabama. Does anyone have information concerning this couple? Any insight is appreciated. Please respond through ALMARION so that others may be helped. Ira L.
