Dear Group, I have for years looked to find a connection between Cook/Amerson and Rushing. Does anyone have info? Particularly regarding Arthur R. Cook, b 1790 in SC, who md.Clarissa Amerson, b about 1815. My hunch is that Clarissa Amerson's mother may have been a Rushing. Her name was Dorothy, b around 1782. There were Rushing children staying with "uncle" Greene M. Cook, b. 1821.on a census. Barbara Cook Newham

I am looking for people with possible connections to the SOUTHERN MATHISONS who migrated from SOUTH CAROLINA to ALABAMA. They may have come from KERSHAW / CAMDEN COUNTY, SC and migrated through GEORGIA into ALABAMA sometime between 1815 & 1830. Many of these Mathisons were Methodist preachers who preached in Pike, Barbour, Dale, & Henry County....and many other places. My ggg grandfather MALCOLM MATHISON was born October 11, 1813 in South Carolina, and died June 24, 1897 in Barbour County, Alabama. He married ELIZA WRIGHT March 31, 1839 in Henry County, AL, daughter of LEVIN WRIGHT and TABITHA EVANS. She was born October 1823 in Georgia, and died September 17, 1905 in Henry County, Alabama. According to Land Patent Reports, on August 21, 1837, Malcolm bought 40 acres of land in Henry County in Township 7-N, Range 26-E. He bought 40 more acres in Township 8-N in August of 1853 and again in July of 1854. I believe Malcolm's father is the John Mathison who is living in the Southern District of Henry County, Alabama in the 1830 census . The census also indicates that John is living with a female between 40 and 49 years old (his wife?) and with two males between the ages of 15 and 19 (his sons?). According to the "Index to Pension Applications for Indian War Service between 1817 and 1898" transcribed by Virgil D. White, Malcolm served as a 2nd Lt in Captain Gordon's Company of 25th Alabama Volunteers in the Creek War. Assuming this occurred around 1837, Malcolm would have been 25 at the time. At age 58, Malcolm would be fighting again, this time as a private in the "Henry Mounted Rebels" during the Civil War. Children of MALCOLM MATHISON and ELIZA WRIGHT are: 1. TABITHA MATHISON, b. 1840. 2. JOHN WESLEY MATHISON, SR., b. December 31, 1841, Henry County, Alabama; d. March 28, 1928, Dale County, Alabama. 3. REV. JAMES LEVIN MATHISON, b. December 12, 1843, Henry County, Alabama; d. March 21, 1918, Ozark, Dale County, Alabama 4. ELIZABETH MATHISON, b. 1844. 5. REV. GEORGE WASHINGTON MATHISON, b. November 17, 1846, Edwin, Henry County, Alabama; d. June 11, 1931, Henry County, Alabama. 6. SARAH ANN MATHISON, b. 1849, Henry County, Alabama; d. August 11, 1934, Grice, Upshur County, Texas. 7. MARY "MOLLIE" MATHISON, b. March 04, 1851; d. July 02, 1899. 8. REV. ELIAS TIPTON "TIP" MATHISON, b. July 11, 1855; d. June 07, 1899 9. CHRISTIAN MATHISON, b. 1857. 10. SOLOMON DICKERSON MATHISON, b. April 29, 1860; d. April 26, 1936. 11. EMMA MATHISON, b. June 27, 1864; d. March 12, 1933. If you suspect a connection to any of these MATHISONS, please e-mail me. I have lots of information I would love to share. Mathisons married into the following families COLLINS, CREEL, DOWLING, GUILFORD, HINES, POWELL, WEATHERBY, WRIGHT, etc. Thanks - Steve

My great Aunt Nena Newman daughter of Allen Green Newman and Mary Ann Josephine Henderson Newman married a Jack Milligan in Pike County. Is there anyone out there who knows anything about her family, her children or any of her descendants?

Is there anyone out there who is descended from my great grandfather James Linzey and or his first wife Rhoda Sessions? They were married in Pike County in 1852? Also does anyone know if the current Senator Sessions of Alabama may be kin to the Pike County, Montgomery County Sessions family? Also just when did Alabama GenWeb change to this new format? I really like the old format better!!!

looking for decendents of James D (b. 1835 in Henry County) and Mary Ann M. Mixon. Children were John D., Penina J., Mary Emma, C.C.J., S.M.D. John married E.J. Payne, Penina married Joel H. Swain, and Mary Emma married Joseph Wescott in Pike County.

Please, If you have any info on a Eula Rushing, whose mother is I think a Spivey. Her given name which I most likely have mis spelled is Salonie who married a Rushing. Do not know his given name. Any info would be greatly appreciative.

Ayton: Continue to browse the message boards and look for any messages by Chrstine Grimes Thacker, email her and tell her your connection to the Grimes family. She was a big help to me Her research into the Grimes family is very extensive and I'm sure she can help you. I , too an a Desendant of Dawson Grimes as his daughter Eliza Grimes and Richard Oliver Flowers were my great-grand parents. Good Luck-Brandon Flowers

It has been a loog while since I looked at Churchwell Rowe but if memory serves, I think you will find him connected to the family of Churchwell Gibson back in Georgia. Perhaps a Grandson. I lope the lead helps. David
