Hi...I am researching Isaac Williamson and his wife Sarah Woodle who lived in Richmond County, N. Carolina, but their descendents lived in Monroe County, Al. John Washington Williamson married Mariah Solomon and they lived in Old Texas, Al. >From other researchers I have gathered a lot of data on the Williamson family, but I do not have the names of all of Isaac and Sarah's children. I would like to correspond with anyone who researches this family. I have no info on the Woodle family and would like to hear from anyone who researches the Woodles, too.

Mixon was later Mixonville, because just about everyone that lived around there were Mixons or related to the Mixons.. it is close to what is known a Midway in Monroe County today. ----- Original Message ----- From: dabf <dabf@zebra.net> To: <ALMONROE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 30, 1999 1:14 PM Subject: [ALMONROE-L] 1985 map > http://www.LivGenMI.com/monroeAL.htm > > This map shows Dennard down near Purdue Hill and Simpkinsville N of > Mixon.

Dear Nobles, Yes, It does help. Some of my relatives are buried at Awin, so it puts them all in the same area. Thank you very much for your info! Linda McAdam
I know how you feel, a Whittle cousin sent me copies the pages from my gg-grandfathers bible.. and I have enjoyed it very much and wished everyone could share pages with their relatives like she did, but some don't..

Linda, I think you will find that Simpkinsville was renamed "Old Texas.". A Mr. Simpkins had the store in the little community. Have never learned why the name was changed to "Old Texas." Many people went from there to Texas...but why "Old." (Does anyone know?) Old Texas, on our CAAA map, is on Highway 47 between Midway and Awin. It is west of the freeway #65, southwest of Greenville. We were there several years ago and there is only one store remaining. I am trying to research my great-grandmother Julia "Callie" Jones who married Sherrod Sims. They lived in Butler County, too. I have not been able to connect my Jones family with the Jones family that settled Frisco City, earlier called Jones Mill. Hope this helps a little. Freda Freda and Ted Noble tnoble@mcn.org
