I this may be foolish telling the recent person with the query on John Gilmore Amerson to consider looking in Revolution records for a Captain James Gilmore. He died in Rockbridge, VA, but had been from Augusta Co., VA. His wife was Martha Dennison and they had a large family including a John. Luanne Spence Taylor

Researching children of Joel Sims who was in Morgan Co. from 1823 to his death in 1827. His widow remarried Wm. Hodges, a much older man in 1830. I wish to establish email contact with JOHNSIMS@Charter.net who is a Valentine and Samuel Sims researcher. I have received emails but my replies to not go through. Any help is appreciated. Jim Sims ... descendent of Joel Sims

Hope someone can help me with this. Looking for information about the following: Nancy Breedin (Breeding, Bredlove or Bredlow) who married John Gilmore Amerson Born about 1833 Alabama (per 1860 Marion Co. Ala census) Died before July 1865 (per Guardianship papers of Blount., Ala making Amos Young Amerson guardian for John B. and Benjamin Gilmore Amerson. Amos was my great grandfather and brother to John Gilmore Amerson thought to have been killed in the Civil War). Two years later their Grandmother Elizabeth McDonald Amerson became their guardian in Morgan Co., Ala. About that time John's land and possessions were sold in Morgan Co. Land in Blount Co., was sold before that 1867. John and Nancy were married 23 September 1857 Morgan Co., ALA (but I have also seen it Blount Co., Alabama) John's Mother and father were Benjamin Jasper and Elizabeth McDonald Amerson. Found in Elizabeth McDonald Amerson's Bible was a piece of papers saying "In the Elizabeth McDonald Amerson's BIBLE a note appears "Baptist Church of Christ - Mt. Pisqah -- release order for Nancy Amerson - dated - 3rd Sabbath July 1858". Would even be happy to know anything about "Baptist Church of Christ-Mt. Pisqah". Been searching this for about eight years, Even at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. It is known that John had a first wife Orlena. John had land in Blount Co. and in Morgan Co., Ala. In 1860 John, Nancy and sons John B (thought by family to be Bredlow) and Benjamin Gilmore Amerson in Marion Co., Ala. I would be ever so happy to finally find out this information not only for myself and the Amerson family, but for John B's grandson who is 85 and has been searching for information for years.

A descendent of Robert Ratliff,Jefferson Davis Ratliff married my Betty Stephenson in Lamar County,TX. in 1889. Addison is a name that has been passed down throught this family. Also interested in the Richmond Darwin who is list on the 1830 census of Morgan County,AL. My Stephensons married into the Darwin family in Madison County and "Vest" is a surname associated with the Darwins. Tom Stephensonh

I just copied and pasted this for you from another list. Thought some of you might like it. I will add to this a fact I found out: Census takers wrote on anything they had and re-copied into standard 'census books'...If you ever do that, you know how many mistakes you make! Thats even with facts that are important to YOU. What if you are tried, underpaid and don't much care. It a wonder we have the quality we have. Carleen Ever wonder what instructions the enumerators were given as they went forward to complete the various state census? This was offered on another list that I belong to http://www.ipums.umn.edu/~pipums/voliii/tEnumInstr.html I have also found sites that state that at various times the enumerators were expected to provide their own materials - which resulted in inferior paper and some of the poorer quality census documents that we now view. Also some of the enumerators discovered that they were actually losing money by being involved with the census. We have all heard stories of the inhabitants of a household not being available and therefore neighbors supplied the information for the absent family. I have even heard that its possible that a family may appear twice in a census year due to the length of time that was taken to complete the census - a family might have moved during that period and end up being counted again in another area. <A HREF="http://www.ipums.umn.edu/~pipums/voliii/tEnumInstr.html">Enumerator Instructions</A>

Someone sent this in to another list I am on and thought someone on this list may be interested in this.

I am searching for the parents of WILLIAM HENRY LANG, born 1802 in Scotland by 1850 census in Morgan County. AL. He married 30 Jan 1834 REBECCA WALLACE, daughter of THOMAS and MARY 'Polly' (MCCONNELL) WALLACE. Their marriage license is issued both in Limestone where they lived and Morgan County. In 1840, they were in Franklin County when all their their children were born. And finally back to Morgan County. Could WILLLIAM HENRY LANG be a son of THOMAS LANG and his wife MARTHA who were in some 1824 indentures in Limestone? REBECCA and WILLIAM named their first son THOMAS B (Benjamin?) LANG. REBECCA moved to Cherokee County, TX with her brothers by 1860 census. No idea what happened to WILLIAM and hope for answers a finding others in this family. Luanne Spence Taylor

Kathy: God Bless you and all your family. I empathize with you on the loss of your Mother, having lost my Dad in 1994. Also my heart shares the loss of one of man's greatest friends. My Shih Tzu, my second is 13 years old and I know that I face that day soon. As the last time I will get another within days. I can not imagine life without one of those loving creatures. Don't worry about the lists. I have found that mine survive even if I am not around for a few days. I went online with a problem with transcription of the 1900 census of Morgan Co for the Gen-Web program last week. I had several answers within hours. Most were very helpful. I am now on page 12 of 21 of the Somerville enumeration District. I average about 1 sheet per day so I expect to post e.d. #134, Somerville within a week to 10 days. That may be enough to get others involved in the project. Take care of your family and mainly yourself. We will be here when you get back. Earnie R.
