Thanks so much for the information about Sparta. Dot

That info came from Marilyn Davis Hohn's book on Old Sparta and Elba Land Office. The maps in this book show in 1806 this part of Al. was in the St. Stephens area and then it was divided and made Sparta Office in 1822 then. It shows Cahaba as the Conecuh Court House in 1818 then Sparta in 1822 as the Conecuh C.H. then no more Sparta, renamed Elba in 1854 which was in Coffee County which was formed in 1842 I think. This is if I am reading these maps correctly. I have placed a lot of my research books from other counties on Gen-books for sale but have kept the 4 southern Land Office books until I get through with my research this fall anf then they will go on there for sale too. Since my health has gone south I see no need in keeping all of these and then when I am gone someone seeing no value in them throwing them away. As I told you I am just going to do my books now.

Are you looking for just Reeves? In these cemetery or are You looking for Jackson?

I'm researching this family for a friend of mine. Her gg grandfather was Wade Hampton Adams, born 2/12/1821 in South Carolina-died 1/5/1895 in Geneva Co., Alabama. The family lore is that Wade and his brother ran away from home when Wade was 16 and they landed in Troy. Wade became the Chief of Police there, but I do not know when that occurred. That is one of my questions. Wade and his family are in the 1860 Pike County Census, the 1870 Pike County Census, and the 1880 Covington County Census. I'm trying to find as many descendants of this family for my friend as possible. I've already talked to several people and they have been of great help. It has been a while since I've posted here, so I thought I would re-post. New information is that Wade became the Chief of Police. I cannot find any lists anywhere of the Chiefs in Pike County. Anyone have any suggestions? If this family is familiar to anyone, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks. Melissa Parker

Phyllis Phyllis, Forgive me if I sound cynical; the last two times that I shared information from my database, receipt of the information was never acknowledged and I was never thanked for the information. 1. What is your name and how are you connected to the family of Nicholas Woodward GRIFFIN (5 Sep 1839, SC-12 Jun 1886, Troy, Pike County, AL)? I do not share my information with people who are anonymous or nearly so. 2. What, specifically about the GRIFFIN family history do you wish to verify? "Sonny" in Pike County, Alabama Wm.

Bill, Thanks so much. I didn't know so much good "stuff" was on the Crenshaw County site. I didn't find anything helpful on the Wests, but I will take some time tomorrow to search more thoroughly. Betty McDougald

Mary Ann West died 25 January 1899. She had lived in Pike County many years, but in 1880 was with her daughter in Texas. We would like to know where she died and where she was buried. Her husband Joseph W. West had died in 1855 and was buried somewhere in Pike County. He owned several tracts of land in Valley Beat in Pike County. Is there some way to find out where Mary Ann West died and was buried? Betty McDougald Houston, Texas

Griffin practiced in Birmingham. Nicholas W. Griffin was born in SC in 1842 while his son was born in 1868 and was alive in the 1930's. Whether they died in Troy, I don't know, I do know that they were there in the 1880 Federal Census. Other Griffin children were: Mary E. born about 1871, Henry C. born about 1876 and Erin Goborough Griffin born about 1878. I am hoping some Griffins in Troy might be descended from them.
