Surnames: Reeves/Garrett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QU.2ADI/3891 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on Eralbun C Reeves/Reaves. He was born about 1844 in Alabama, his parents were born in GA. He is in Pike County (indexed as Evellum Reeves) in 1870, with wife Mary J. and sister-in-law Francis Garrett lives with them in 1870 and in 1880 where they are in Clay County next to Orion B. Reaves who has at some point been in TX but appears to be a brother. Eralbun moves to Hot Springs County, AR, and wife Mary J. is still alive and at one point they live with sister-in-law Francis E. Hand. I can't find them in 1900. Next door to them in Grant County I find Elijah, James Leonard, and Thomas Wiley, all born in Alabama with parents born in Georgia, but can't make the connection to Eralbun. Any help appreciated.

Veneta McKinney posted a newspaper article collection of recipe's written in 1879/1880 While this is not about Pike Co. genealogy I found it fascinating looking at some of the recipes my ancestors may have been using during those days. The file is located at this link for any who may find these of interest. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/al/lamar/newspapers/recipesf956gnw.txt Debra Crosby

Forgive my cross-posting, but there have been CHISHOLM queries on both lists recently and the families are probably related. Does anyone have a connection they are aware of to Catherine CHISHOLM below? Catherine CHISHOLM was born 6 June 1772 in Scotland. She married John D. McCASKILL on 5 October 1797 in Scotland (Isle of Skye.) They immigrated to South Carolina in 1811 and moved from Kershaw Co., SC to Pike Co., AL in 1841. They are on the 1850 census of Pike Co. They are both buried in Brundidge, but I do not have the name of the cemetery. She died in 1855 and her husband died in 1859. We have a good bit of information on our McCASKILL line but nothing more on Catherine CHISHOLM. Evelyn Leslie Remlap, AL [email protected]

Simmons, Melissa, Gracey (or Grace), Mary, or a Betty? I have a letter written April 15th, 1866 (or 1860) from Prattville, AL to his "Aunt." He never refers to his "Aunt" by her first name, but he does refer to his Aunt Gracey, Mary and Betty and his cousin Melissa. (I am not sure if these ladies are married at the time of this letter or not.) I am trying to find out the name if this "Aunt" who the letter was to. At this point, I have no Simmons in my family tree, however I highly suspect my great great great grandmother was a Simmons. (If not, then I have no idea how this letter got into the mix with other family letters from the past.) I think G.W. was serving in the Civil War at the time he wrote this letter. Thank you!

Does any one have a Cannis Howell? Debra Maddox Wilson Greenback,Tn

I found a page of info on this family in my heritage book which lists a few generations of the Howell.s and some on the Dubose. It does list her parents as Ephraim and Mary Matilda. She is also on the 1880 census which would be the last census before her murder in 1898. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 2:47 PM Subject: [AL-PIKE] Rachel Ann Howell Ira Myers > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Howell > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QU.2ADI/3889 > > Message Board Post: > > I am looking for information on Rachel Ann Howell.

Surnames: snider Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/QU.2ADI/3884 Message Board Post: Would there be anyone on this forum who might do a look up for me at the Pike County Library at Troy? For several years I have been trying to obtain a copy of Josiah Snider's "A Snider History" written in 1895 as copied by Mrs. McPherson Brown. It does not have a copyright. I understand that the library does have this booklet. I am very interested to obtain the ancestory of Josiah Sniderand in knowing who Josiah Snider's grandfather and grandmother were. I believe them to be Jacob and Susanna Snider but do not know for sure. I hope that Josiah lists them. If anyone can obtain a copy, please send it to [email protected] Just for general interest, here is some additional information about Joshia Snider. He sounded like an excellent person. _________________ Josiah Snider Birth: 7 Feb 1828 in Little Oak, Pike, Alabama Death: 21 Aug 1909 in Little Oak, Pike, Alabama Father: Mathias Snider Sr. b. 2 Jul 1796 in Orangeburg Co, South Carolina Mother: Christiana Price b. 25 Dec 1792 in Orangeburg, SC Josiah Snider was a son of the late Reverend Matthias Snider who was a soldier in the War of 1812 and who moved from Lexington District, South Carolina to Monroe County, Alabama in the year 1818 and in January 1831 he moved his family to Pike County. On the 17th of February, 1850 Mr. Josiah Snider was married to Miss Rebecca Hutchinson, daughter of the late William Hutchinson of Coffee County, Alabama. The fruits of this marriage were five sons and four daughters, all of whom are living except one son, Louis Jefferson, who died in 1877. He joined the Methodist Church under the ministry of James M. Mills in the year 1849. He joined the Masonic fraternity in 1858. Mr. Snider served as Justice of Peace for Darby's Beat for one term, 1857-59. He has been postmaster of Little Oak for more than twenty years. Mr. Snider had seven brothers and four sisters, all of whom have gone to the Spirit Land except one sister. Three of his brothers wore the grey, two of whom gave their lives for the Lost Cause. In all the relations of his life Mr. Snider has conducted himself in such a manner as to have the confidence and esteem of all his neighbors. Mr. Snider has witnessed many changes in this section since he came here sixty years ago. Then the wolf's long howl came up from Conecuh Swamp. Now the scream of the locomotives greets his ears. Of his neighbors in the early days, the Carnleys, the Stagners, the Carters, the Kyzers, not one is left. All have crossed over to the Other Shore. Mr. Snider can say one thing that very few people can, that he was never intoxicated and never swore an oath in his life. His father built the first church that was ever established in this section. Although on the shady side of sixty, Mr. Snider still works at the blacksmith's trade. Two of the younger men whose graves were decorated on Memorial Day at Little Oak were those of Home Guards Josiah Snider and Seaborn J. Skinner. They were recruiting officers and guardians of the women and children who were left alone. They attended to the many repairs required to run a farm, such as blacksmith and carpentry work. Josiah Snider made coffins, and many of the old cement vaults and markers in the Little Oak Cemetery were made by him. If necessary, he conducted the funeral services. It is known that in later years he conducted that of Ione Snider. His duties were numerous but he always responded when called upon. Josiah was Postmaster for Little Oak community for 24 years (1879-1903)
