Hi, for what it's worth, my Solomon Stewart had showed up in Lincoln Co TN about 1810-1811, and had alliances it appears with Moores, Harkins, Hogan/Hogins, McConnell, possibly Foster, and so on. By 1816 it appears that they are in AL, with definite showup in Marion Co in 1820-1820, thence 1823 into Tuscalloosa Co, and in 1829-1839 he's moved to Perry County. By 1834-1835 he's moving across the border from Gainesville into Kemper County, AL . Other that the fact that Perry County is smack dab in the Black Belt, I never could understand the certain but fragmented migration early on into Perry County. While researching Perry County, I was always intrigued at the seemingly heavy presence of Tubb's and Shackleford's. And, as I mentioned last week, the Floyd's, Stewart's, and Burfords, (and probably Aikens) were intertwined as well. Cheers, Dick Stewart Colorado ================================= Betty, One of the interests of genealogy is seeing how intertwined people and places are. I'm the one who shared the picture of the three young woman teachers of Shelby County, Texas, with you. My WALKER family was in Perry Co. Alabama. On the 3rd of November, 1835, in that county my great grandfather's sister Eliza WALKER married George TUBB.

My William Floyd's daughter, Elizabeth married George Tubb. William and his sons and sons in law moved to Franklin, Co., TN before or about 1810. About 1830 or so, folks began moving out to go to Alabama. The Tubb family went to Perry Co., AL which you mention in your descendant report. Another daughter of William's married a Moore. And there was at least one Tubb-Moore marriage. My William Floyd's section of Pendleton Co. eventually became part of Pickens Co. In the sort of North West section. The party that was near MILE Creek and Keowee River. His sons were named Alexander, Elisha, William and David. Betty >>>>>>
