Kay, Would you look in your Index for any Stanton name? I'm looking for info on this family and seem to have a John Stanton that was in the 1850 census, but not the 1860. I don't have a specific death date. Thanks Rhonda

Thank you Kay, I really appreciate your help!

The courthouse burned at one point and there are no marriage records before 1833 so the same may be true of wills.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kristy Williams <kdwiam@email.msn.com> To: <ALMONROE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 14, 1999 9:05 AM Subject: [ALMONROE-L] Monroe Wills : Is there anyone with access to Monroe County Wills?

You can add me to that list also Pat Watson Opachick

Count me in. I was just in Monroeville in Oct. but I didn't have time to get any research done. Grant

Is there anyone with access to Monroe County Wills? I'm looking for an Eliab Wootan who died after 1830. He shows up on the 1830 Monroe County Census and we think he would have been around 70 at the time. We also know that he purchased land there in 1820. So, I would estimate that he died sometime between 1830 and 1840. Probably closer to 1830. Any help would be appreciated. Kristy Williams

Good afternoon, Kay! Do you happen to have any TAYLOR or KELLY wills listed? (I'm such a worry wart!) Kathryn

Freda: I bought one of the supplements to the Monroe Journal this summer--the reprinted version of the 1866-1966 Centennial Edition. I viewed the other one at the library in Monroeville, and would love to have a copy of it. Add me to your list of persons wanted the Journal to reprint these editions. I found quite a bit of information about KELLYs in the edition I bought. Thanks! Kathryn

Cynthia, I don't know how I will do it, but I will try to get a chain of letters or a petition off to the MJ editor. Anyone on the list reading this who is interested in a reprint of the Monroe Journal's centennial editions, please write to me. I don't think the editor realizes how important the books are to family researchers. Any suggestions about getting the message to him would be appreciated. So sorry you are having to unsubscribe. Do hope your Mother improves with your care. Freda Freda and Ted Noble tnoble@mcn.org

Freda, If you would like, I'd appreciate it if someone else started the petition. I just buried my father-in-law and am going to go to stay with my mother after quadruple bypass surgery for a while. I will have to unsubscribe for the interim. I would like my name included in the petition if someone takes on the task. I will be back on the list when things settle down a little.

Good grief girl ! Don't go getting snake bit ! I'm assuming that Nannie died, either that or grandpappy Sylvester was a bigamist ! He married Isabel McNeal after Nannie McKenzie died, or so we think. I am trying to help the wife of Milton Joplin find her. She was his great grandmother, her son Milton Scott Sr was his grandfather and a son of Nannie and Sylvester. I know there were/are some other McKenzies in the Monroeville area, but I think most of them are quite old and I'm not sure if they are related. How are you feeling these days ? Emma

The 100 year old John McKinzie is of interest to me. Could he have been the father of Nannie McKenzie , first wife of Sylvester Medlock in Perdue Hill, Monroe County, AL. Does anyone know where he or possibly Nannie are buried ? Thanks , Emma in NM

She could be the Medlock that I am waiting for the snakes to leave for me to go to the cemetery behind the home off HWY 84 on the woods.. I will check it out soon.

I found a no. of Crawford's listed in the Monreo Co. Census. I have a 14 d. free trial of Ancestry.com and used its search engine. Why don't you see if you can get a trial & copy the pages for the cites. However, I didn't see Mahalaleel listed. Deborah

Dear Winkie, I have the reprint ed. of the Cent. Ed. There is no index of which I am aware. Thus, you find out what is in there by reading it. The value of it is that it contains newspaper articles of a variety of subjects -- businesses, churchs, family interest, odds and sods, etc. As for census or tax records, they exist for Monroe Co. However, I am not sure whether you were addressing Monroe or Walton Co., Fla.

Dear Deborah, Sorry I wasn't clear re Monroe, Co, AL. Yes, desperately need some leads on ancestors during period of 1832 thru 1849 in Monroe Co, AL. The census I have on an "M. CRAWFORD", Monroe Co, AL, shows 1 male, 2 females under 5 1 male, 2 females (10-15) 1 female (30-30) 1 male (30-40), ?1 female (70-30) Some of the neighbors listed on same sheet were FINKLEA, THOMPSON, BROWNs, and JONES. Sometimes there is a State or County census which shows the names of the families. Would appreciate your help in this area. Also welcome help from anyone with info on this family.

Thanks for >your interest. I emailed them back asking for the cost for the one still available. I haven't heard back from them. Anyone gotten the cost on this book? I'd like to buy some for Xmas Gifts if they aren't too expensive. Thanks Rhonda

I'm sorry, did I miss that you would look up marriage info in AL? I am seeking information on a John Henry Bailey. He married Emma K. ? Don't know which Co. They moved to TX abt 1909. Had a son in AL in Jan. 1900. So I would assume it would be late 1800's. If it is a difficult lookup with out a year or county, please don't trouble yourself. I'll find out which county one of these days. Thanks, Rhonda
