Freda Noble, Could'nt get mail to go through to your e-mail address. Bethel Jos. Jones was born in GA, his father Joseph came from SC. Bethel and Eleanor Jones had a son John born about 1840 in McWilliams, AL. They had 11 children there and later I have Bethel a nd Eleanor are buried in Oak Hill, AL.. Looking at the old map I noticed a town named Riley next to Simpkinsville. Most of my kin lived in the immediate area....Awin, McWilliams, Simpkinsville. It looks like a possible match if your date of birth is in 1840ish. I have info on some of his siblings, not him only Birthdate as 1840. Let me hear from you, Linda

Hapy New Year everyone! Looks like the other side of the world passed through the new year without any problems! This email is also an appology..to any of you that I have overlooked with look-ups. As most of you know I lost my husband of 40 years in OCT and between that and my computer failure......and just trying to get thru the hollidasys the best I can....I feel sure there have been some look-up requests that I have overlooked...if so they are lost in my old computer....so if you have asked any of me and I have not responded please email me again with your information..be sure and tell me where you want the look up, for I have sent many titles of books , cd's etc...would be too hard to look up names in each and every one of them . HAPPY NEW YEAR pat

Hi...I am searching for info about my gggrandfather John "Bud" Jones. John married Elizabeth Riley. They lived in Starlington, Al. Their daughter Callie Jones was born in 1859, married Sherrod Sims, Jr. The Sims lived in the Jones Mill (now Frisco City) and Excel, Al., communities. Reading inquiries on the Monroe County Query Forum page last night, I found info that leads me to think that perhaps (a big PERHAPS) that Elizabeth Riley was the sister or aunt of Eliza "Mamie" Alabama Riley, b. 24 December 1851. Mamie's sister Willis Riley married William P. Jones. Were William and John Bud Jones brothers? Was John "Bud" Jones the father of Mrs. L. E. (Ellen) Foxworth? Eliza Boyles has been suggested as the name of Mamie's mother. Was this Eliza Boyles (Boles) the daughter of Elijah Boles whose brother Issac Boles had a son named Alabama Boles? An Eliza Boles, daughter of Issac Boles, is the sister of my great-grandmother Amanda Boles who married David Jackon Regan. If anyone recognizes any of these names, I would like to hear from you. Freda and Ted Noble tnoble@mcn.org

I found the following info in the Monroe County, 1850 Census. Does anyone on this list recognize these people? If so, I would like to hear from you. I continue the search to identify my gggrandfather William Roberson.
