This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Makamson, MaComson, Macamson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VS.2ADE/583.1 Message Board Post: I have a ancestor named James Makamson or Macamson also from Picken County, Alabama. He moved with his wife Mahala/Mahalia to Johnson County, Arkansas. Their daughter Lou (Levula) Makamson/ Macamson is my ggrandmother. I would love to know if James is related to your Macamson's. Little is know of this part of my ancestry because James and Mahala Macamson died in the winter of 1878 and the girls being very young were raised by neighbors some of which could have been relative. FAmilies by the name of Taylor, Fields, and Brasher raised the girls. dlmcdonald@usa.net
