I am having a real problem finding any information on two of my grandfather's siblings. They are Zebadee Garrett and Bessie Garrett Nall(s). it is almost like they were born and disappeared off the face of the earth. My best guess is they were born right after the 1880 census and had married and moved out before the 1900 census. I know the 1890 census would be a welcome sight for many researchers. But that is not to be. They might have moved to Monroe county. If it is possible for you to be of any help, I would greatly appreciate it. Please reply to Jim Garrett at jsjdgarrett@worldnet.att.net Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~ Cindy McCoy

I have added the Muster Roll of Co. B of the 36th Ala. Most of these soldiers were from Greene Co. Other additions were made to the muster rolls including details gleaned from the soldier's decendants. Also, there is a new link site organized by broad subject. Your Obedient Servant, D. A.

Hi, I saw an email you had on the listserv. Saw you surnames you are researching: Reseaching Anderson, Middleton, Morgan, Bond(s) and Barlow in Monroe and Conecuh Counties. Was wondering if you had any Rosses tied in with your family anywhere. I know the Rosses & Andersons are connected. The Rosses & the Middletons were in the same general area of these two counties. Just wondering, Janet Ross Etheredge

Sorry about sending a specific message to the list. Mea culpa.

Thanks for the plug dearst Cousin. We're still treading water w/ the job situation. No fun, no fun at 'tall. However, I did re-pile my stacks so that I can work on adding more info from Rosters etc. Might as well be useful for those sleepless hours... I found some cookier from Doubletree -- shows how fast an unpacker I really am. Suppose I could sell them on E-bay?

GWJCAL, Hope you don't mind my having gotten a small chuckle out of your reply below re "Indian Princess." We seem to be in the same boat, or nearly. The legend in our family for Mahalaleel CRAWFORD was that he married 3 times (one of whom was an Indian Princess) and had 7 children by each wife. I, too, must give up that idea as 2 wives are all I've found thus far and know not if they were of Indian descent. Still searching for clues to Mahalaleel's wife, Mary (MACE), b SC circa 1802. Believe she might have died in Monroe Co, AL, before 1837 as... it's possible "Mahabel" CRAWFORD, who married Martha WILSON in 1837, could have been Mahalaleel (& make the 3rd marriage a reality). Would appreciate any help with my brick wall. If anyone has heard of anyone with similar given names, please get in touch with me or write to the list.

That means that person is 6 generations removed from the genetically pure Indian grand parent. If you figure there are about 4 or 5 more generations since 1910 then a descendent would be 1/512 or 1/ 1024. May be it is time for us to let go of the myth of an Indian Princess grandmother. >>

It seems now to be fact that Nancy Perryman married Moses Medlock. Nancy had siblings whose names were Martha Jane, Samuel, Alexr, Milton T. Samuel was evidently a Dr (Medical or Preacher, I don't know) and had holdings in Lowndes county Al as well as SC. Can anyone shed light on these siblings, or the children of Moses and Nancy ? Emma in NM

Jerusha Anderson d/o Joel and Jane (Middleton) Anderson was b. ca1848 in Monroe Co., Alabama. What happehed to her? Who did she marry? Where did she go? She is in the household of her widowed mother in the 1870 Census, but not the 1880.

well.......some of that problem was actually the government refusing to recognize there were any natives left east at all........when there was pat

Hello to all of you, If you had an ancestor who died between 1861 and 1865 and you have no information, you may want to check Deborah Bass-Frazier's page where she has posted some Confederate rosters. You might be surprised who you'll find on these lists. It's just another thought. The URL is below. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oldfedrd Mary Alice in CA

About that time there was a epidemic of yellow fever and other fevers that killed many people.. Most that died from 1850's into the early 60's were from some type fever..

correction.....I said some pow wows honor a new princess every year and they a re not full blood..I meant to say " SOME" are not full blood.. pat

well contrary to most peoples belief Natives did not need to be full blood to be on rolls .some of the most remembered Chiefs were not full blood native..The Dawes roll is full of blood quantums of this nature. depending on what way you are using the word "princess" ...actually there were no Indian Princes's.that was white mans word.....some times in some places used in a very ugly manner.If you are using the word relating to the idea she was a chiefs daughter, that still does not mean she was full blood. Some tribal pow wow's today have a new Indian princess each year......they are far from full blood. "genetically pure Indian"..well there are many, but ...... No matter how much Native blood they had, you can see buy this census they were of a tribe, and lived the Native ways. Have never read of a case where a TRIBE in the old days ever distinguished between someone that was full blood and not.....we do today , very very much. pat

When did mandatory death records begin? I have no idea....Thanks.

Yes, right again, the people in Oklahoma, don't reconized that there are any native americans left in Ala. Even They know there were. One would wonder how they missed the ones that was left, some would take to the swamps, when they knew someone was coming, and they had lookouts. Every stumbling block that each and every one experiences, dealing with the Federal Gov. is just that. It was purposely done by the Federal Gov. and still today. The opening of the Federal Road, was a beginning of the end of the Native American of S.E. USA. Its purpose was to rid the native american of the area. Not only did they do what they set out to do, they also destroyed a race of people in doing so. Well almost destroyed. Years ago, it was a bad thing to be indian, everyone that has indian blood in any amount, they should be proud. millard >From: "Pat Opachick" <pensacola@mindspring.com> >Reply-To: ALMONROE-L@rootsweb.com >To: ALMONROE-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [ALMONROE-L] Re: 1910 Indian population Monroe County, AL >Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2000 00:18:43 -0500 > >well.......some of that problem was actually the government refusing to >recognize there were any natives left east at all........when there was > >pat > > >==== ALMONROE Mailing List ==== >*****Monroe County Mailing List***** >To Unsubscribe, send the command unsubscribe to >ALMONROE-L-request@rootsweb.com > ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
