Looking to find any information about Hettie Bird Jackson or (alternative spelling) Easther Jackson who died ~1840 in Pickensville, AL. I have a copy of her Last Will & Testament from Sep, 1840. She had 5 sons, Terrell, William, Joseph Jr., Reddick (?Ridis), and Harris. Is she perhaps buried in a cemetery near Pickensville? Thanks for any info. dlc http://www.casey-genealogy.com/jackson.html

I'm considering purchasing the book, PICKENS COUNTY, ALABAMA 1841-1861 by Marilyn D Barefield and C. Barefield. Is this a good source of Pickens County information and is it worth my investment? I have lots of ancestors living in northern Pickens County during this period. Are there any other good reference books for Pickens County that anyone could suggest? Thanks you. Teresa april0496@aol.com

If your Jeptha died about 1900, he may be on the mortality schedule for that census. Good luck, Betty

Someone please explain... I have an ancestor, Jepthah F. Randall, who lived in Pickens Co, AL and was a Methodist minister with the North Alabama Conference until his death in 1900. He married and had 8 children, all born in Pickens Co between 1862-1885. I cannot find Jepthah listed on either 1870 or 1880 census. Yes, I have tried every variation of Randall/Randle/Randolph,/Reynolds, etc known to man. I have checked the whole state of Alabama via soundex. I could see where he was missed on one census but 2? I also have records where he performed marriages in Pickens Co between 1868-1876. Jepthah died only a few months prior to the 1900 census but I found his youngest daughter, Mary, living in the hh of cousins (she was the only surviving family member). Does anyone out there know why he may have been missed on 2 census? Please help! I don't want to check these census again... Thanks for any help, Teresa

I'm searching for information on Archibald B.ROBERTSON b abt 1825 SC and died between 1860-1870 according to the Pickens Co census, possibly died during the Civil War. He married Martha Randall abt 1849 and had 5 children: 1. Margaret C. Robertson b 1854 2. Frances E. Robertson b 1856 3. James S. 'Jack' Robertson b 1859 4. Nancy J. Robertson b 1860 5. Archibald F. 'Archy' Robertson b Aug 1863 d 1922, mar Margaret/Maggie Unk and had 3 known children: Clifford b 1900, Beulah b 1903, and Sadie/Sallie b 1905 all in Pickens Co. Martha Randall Robertson is on the 1870 census as Head with children only. Archibald Jr. is the only family member I've been able to find in Pickens, AL or Lowndes Co, MS after 1870. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. Teresa

I'm working on a book about Pickens County residents who served in the Civil War. That includes those residents who moved away from Pickens County before the war started. That is my interest in James, and whether he is the same as James E. Here is what I tentatively have on James E.: BLALOCK, James E. Served in the 23rd Miss. Inf. Regt. Company E “Kossuth Volunteers” and 26th Miss. Inf. Companies D & E, all companies raised in Tishomingo County, Miss. Possibly the James Blalock who was living in Pickens County in 1850, age 19, and who later moved to Tishomingo County.

It is very likely that the James Blalock could be the same. The Blalock family along with the Garner family all moved to Tishomingo Co. probably in the early 50's and settled in the Blackland area of what is now Prentiss Co. southwest of Booneville. I am in the process of wading through the 1860 Tish. census now and will let you know if I run across James. Are you related? Milton

Do you know who John M. Crowell was? He is listed as a Confederate soldier serving in a Pickens County raised company of the 24th Alabama Infantry. The John Crowell above would probably have been to old to join. Is this a son of the above John Crowell who remained in Pickens County when the rest of the family moved to Mississippi? If so, why is he not on the 1850 census? If he was born after 1850, he would have been too young to serve in the Civil War. Any help on this would be appreciated.

I do not know if he is the same as Andrew Jackson Story of Company H or if this helps to prove that there were actually two A.J. Storys in Pickens County during the Civil War as indicated by the differing birthdate information. I don't have easy access to the 1860 census, which may shed some light on this.
