At one time I know that I saw mention of a man who left Monroe County during the night, with some reference to a murder or something of that nature. I have both the 1966 & 69 Editions of the Centennial issues, but although I have gone over and over them, cannot find the mention. If anyone sees this will you please send me the page # ? Thanks , Emma in NM

I am looking for any data on the wife of/and William C. (Caleb) Holloway b about 1960 married in Monroe Co., Al in 1879 to Georgia Ann Wagnon b. 1862 in AL. This couple was married in Simpkinsville, AL, now Old Texas, and I believe she is the sister to my great grandfather James C. Wagnon b 1860 in AL as he signed for security when she applied for her marriage license in Monroe Co. Any help on the parents and other siblings of James C. Wagnon b 1860 Al and Georgia Ann Wagnon b 1862 in Al. is appreciated. Janie

AL Researchers, Please allow me to share a little more about Monroe Co, AL, CRAWFORDs. My ancestor, g-g-gf Mahalaleel Crawfords descendants are shown below & a brief bio of his family (as known) in SC. Maybe someone will recognize some of his children's names & help me over, under, around, or storming through my brick wall. My contention is that Mahalaleel is the son of Hal CRAWFORD as listed on Ancestral file as s/o John CRAWFORD b 1746, SC and wife Elizabeth ALSTON Crawford, b 177?, SC (probably Marion Dist). My reasoning for this is that Hal b 1780, or 1767 on one record (possibly 2 Hals?) would have been the right age as Mahalaleel was b abt 1802 per 1850 & 1860 FL (Walton Co) FL, census. This is further strengthened by the correspondence rec'd & source material showing his children as listed below. John CRAWFORD b 1746 was s/o James CRAWFORD & Kasiah (Cassia) SAUNDERS as listed in Sellers' History of Marion County, SC, as well as Ancestral file online & other researchers. Would love to hear from anyone who has knowledge or would like to exchange information on these CRAWFORDs. Thank you for your help, Winkie CRAWFORD R WinkieFL@aol.com 1.

Roley who married Mary Ellen Fore b. 1849, daughter of Richard Nelson Fore and Harriet Ann Andress in Monroe County, AL on 12-31-1876 at Harriet's home with Asa Parker as security and J.F.

Posted on: Monroe Co. Al Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Monroe?read=697 Surname: Hendrix, Roley ------------------------- My g-grandparents: Thomas Henry Roley married Morelle Hendrix 29 Jan 1880 in Monroe county. On the 1880 census Morelle is listed as 20 years old. I think her parents were Martin & Mary Ellen Hendrix; however, Morelle is not listed in their household on the 1870 census, and on the 1860 census Martin & Mary Ellen have a daughter Martha age 1 year old. Are Martin & Mary Ellen truly Morelle's parents? Is Martha & Morelle the same (I believe I have seen her name listed somewhere as Morelle M. Hendrix)? Thanks for any info.

Posted on: Monroe Co. Al Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Monroe?read=695 Surname: Lourymore, Larrimore, Roley ------------------------- The 1860 Monroe County census has the following 3 households, one behind the other: James Lourymore - 58 - Geo Farebei Lourymore - 55 - NC Henry Lourymore - 16 - Ala John Lourymore - 21 - Geo Mary Lourymore - 21 - Ala Elias Lambert - 22 - Ala Sarah Lambert - 18 - Geo Joshua Lourymore - 20 - Geo Sarah Lowremoure married Elias Lambert, Jr. in 1859 in Monroe county.
