There is a Nancy J. Coons, age 13, born Alabama, mother born Tennessee, listed on the 1880 census for Tarrant County, Texas (Fort Worth) as a servant to Oliver S. Kennedy, wife Georgia and children. He was born in Alabama, she was born in Tennessee. He's listed as a U.S. Commissioner. There are 9 other Coons listed on the 1880 census in Texas as born in Alabama, but none others in Fort Worth.

If you are looking for early Marion County, AL land records, they might be in the Mississippi records online at the Bureau of Land Management: http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ I found my ancestor Peter Scott of Marion County, AL in the Mississippi records. He apparently went to Pontotoc, Mississippi land office to file for his land. Legal land description of his land as given in the Mississippi records is: 9S, 14W, Huntsville Meridain, Marion County, AL.

I'm sorry, Timmie, I don't know the exact name of the book, but it has something in the title about the early Huntsville Area Land Deeds. One of the kind workers in the Heritage Room of the main library in Huntsville could tell you. I passed over this book several times because I thought it was just for Huntsville but it has some great information in it for a large area in AL. Glenda

Aileen, The Samuel Alexander Reed I am looking for lived in Pickens County AL in the 1870 census. He was married to Rebecca Coons Reed. They had at least two children....one was named Elector Elizabeth Reid. She married a John Wilson Kelley from Eldridge AL, (Walker County), and they had 13 children. Samuel was born in Perry County AL and died in the early 1920's. He served in the Confederate Army and was captured and imprisoned at Ft Delaware. Does this help? Are you familiar with this Reed family? Timmie

Glenda, Do you know the name of the book in the Huntsville Library? Timmie

I am asking for a lookup for a Will that was probated in Marion Co, Al sometime around Aug 22,1825- Oct 03,1825. For: John S. Patterson deceased of Marion Co. AL. This notice was published in "The Tuscumbian Newspaper" Franklin Co, AL along with a Citation issued to his heirs.These are the dates listed, Aug 22, Oct 03, and Nov 07 1858. It could possibly settle a brick wall issue for one of his sons. Wm. T. Patterson. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you., Pam

Bill & Sue Tubbs used the old land records in compiling a volume for each county in AL and eastern MS. These volumes are titled ANCESTERAL HOMESTEADS and a copy for all 67 volumes for AL are in our local library Heritage Room in Jasper (Walker Co., AL). These are helpful in having the township/section maps that makes it easier to see the neighbors and transfers of land that occurred---especially since so many times these neighbors were family members or became family through later marriages, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenda Todd" <ladyg1063@charter.net> To: <ALMARION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 11:37 AM Subject: [ALMARION] Huntsville Land Office > The main library in Huntsville, AL has a book which includes the early > 1800's land records in that district, which included Marion Co., AL.

The main library in Huntsville, AL has a book which includes the early 1800's land records in that district, which included Marion Co., AL. The only land record I was able to find for one of my ancestors was when Thomas T. Bird and Ezekial Downs purchased land together in Marion Co., AL in 1836 and it was listed in that book. You might be able to get the book through inter library loan. Glenda McWhirter Todd
