She states in the 1850 Chestnut Creek Beat, Autauga County now Chilton County) census she was born in Alabama, and that both parents were (she thought) born in Alabama. I have been dead ended on this woman's family for years, do hope some Miller family descendants from this area contact me. From Susan Moore Teller sue377@aol.com

Surnames: Weger - Owen/Owens - Bailey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JU.2ADI/870 Message Board Post: I would like to learn exactly what/where Old Town is/was as listed in the Census of Perry Co. Is it still in existence? Could someone give me road coordinates? David Weger/Weiger/Wegar a(nd several other spellings) had daughters Lucinda and Cynthe (Cynthia?). The both married Owen men. My line is direct from Cynthia and Samuel Owen who were not found in Perry Co. after 1860. Lucinda Weger, wife of John Owen (who likely died in the civil war) stayed in Perry Co. I believe their son, Radford Owen, born abt 1859, married Julia Ann Bailey in 1884 in Perry Co., and perhaps their descendants are still in the area. Other children of Lucinda and John Owen were: Mary born abt 1848 Thomas born abt 1850 James born abt 1853 Nancy born abt 1856 Mattie born abt 1862 Would enjoy any clues as to who they might be.

I have also written to Ireland and found no information. Andrew Walker and Jane Walker were sister and brother. Jane married Charles Moseley and had Mary Ann. Mary Ann Moseley married Thomas Bondurant. Mary Ann and Thomas Bondurant moved to Alabama, along with Thomas' brother Samuel who married Rebecca Walker (Andrew and Jane's youngest sister). As you know Andrew and Nancy lived in Perry County, very near my ancestors, Mary Ann and Thomas Bondurant. They are buried in the same cemetery in Uniontown, Ala.

I haven't talked to my grandma yet, but I don't think she is going to know anything. I found a family record that has Wesly colburn married to Eliza Wires. No dates, just listed as Elizabeth Colburn's mother and father. I am not sure of the spelling either, as a good many of the names in the record are misspelled or shortened to nicknames. Although this record I have goes back to Simon Clements b. 1740, it isn't complete. It mainly follows my line Starting with my great grandma's (Emma Clements Colburn) father Henry Richard Colburn backward to Simon. If you would like, I will try to get it scanned in the computer and send it to you, but it doesn't exactly have what you are looking for. I also have a copy of Simon Clements last will and testament somewhere. I haven't as yet been able to locate it, (we are in the process of moving and things are scattered) If I find that, I would be happy to scan it as well.

There is a Richard Pitts that married Harriet Cunningham on 19 Nov 1876 in Perry County, Alabama. This might be Jr. and Sr. may have died before the 1880 census. That is my thoughts on the subject.
