Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/11946 Surname: Simmons ------------------------- Anita, I forwarded your message to a genealogist in Pike Co. who is a Simmons descendant, as I am, but she said that her message was returned as undeliverable. The only name you mentioned in your message that is familiar to ME is Mary Simmons. However, my Mary A. Simmons, b. 1803/04 in NC married Henry D. W. Jones and they were living, as a young couple, next door to William Simmons on the 1830 Pike Co. AL census. But Mary is such a common name, the two could have been cousins. Please contact me so that I can get you in touch with the genealogist in south AL, and you two may be able to assist each other.

We are trying to send a message to "Anita" in response to a posting regarding the Simmons line, but the email is returned as undeliverable. Can anyone help? bclifton65@msn.com

Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/11944 Surname: Golden Goldin Golding ------------------------- The Goldens that you mention being in Pike County .... do you know who Henry's parents were? My Goldens were in Chambers and Tallapoosa County until just after the civil war. Some of the brothers and sisters stayed behind when they left for Mississippi and La. and finally Ark. Could we be the same family?

I am searching for information on my great-great-grandparents, Francis E. Sanders (born 1777 at sea or N. C., died July 9, 1852 Pike Co., AL) and Barbara Oswalt (born March 14, 1789 S. C., died May 25, 1855 Pike Co., AL). Their daughter, Martha Jane Sanders married Mastin Milton Burks on Sept. 6, 1855 in Pike Co. They left Pike Co. and went to Tyler, Smith Co., Texas. Years later, they settled in Canton, Van Zandt Co., Texas. Where were Francis and Barbara buried? Where was he from? I believe Milton's brother, Joel W. Burks, went with them or followed. He died of pneumonia in Guadalupe Co., TX (near Seguin), in 1857. Milton and Martha were my great-grandparents. Thank you, Shirley

Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/11943 Surname: Golden, Findley ------------------------- In the 1850 Pike Co. census I located my gggrandma, Nicinda Lucinda Golden, 11 years old. She was listed as living with a James Findley and ??? Findley. We are led to believe that Henry Golden was her father. He is also listed on the same census but at different address. At the age of 13 Nicinda married Smallwood Findley. The ???Findley on census does not look like the name Smallwood. Would appreciate any info on Nicinda, Smallwood, Henry or any relatives in the Pike Co. area. Thanks Pat

Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/11937 Surname: Simmons, Gandy, Brazeale, Brazil ------------------------- Anita, regrettably I have no names relating to any of the Pike County Simmons. Sorry. I have a lot of Simmonses about that time frame but none with those names - yet! I kinda hoped the 9-year old Mary A. Brazil you listed could have been mine. But I find mine was born in 1836, according to a Simmons family Bible. Happy searching... and thanks for your response. Jerry

Would like to connect with the author of the Barr Family article in the Heritage of Pike County, AL book. Is there anyone online? Am very interested in the information concerning a William Barr, b. 1826 who was a carriage maker by trade and moved from Stewart County, Georgia to Eufaula and then to Pike County, Alabama. My ancestor and his brother, James and Moses COOPER, were coach makers who migrated from Stewart County, GA to Pike County, AL c1859. Peggy hdilt@swbell.net

Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/11933 Surname: Simmons, Gandy, Brazeale, Brazil ------------------------- Pike County was the home of my gggrandfather, William Cleveland Simmons, for a short period during which I believe a 9-year old daughter Edna, and his first wife, Penelope, died. Somewhere around this time he married a Mary Alice Brazeale, possibly from Pike County, and had three more children by her. Later, probably about 1870, they relocated to Butler County, Alabama. I can find nothing on Mary Alice ("Molly"). Any possibilities? Brazil/Brazeale could have been a married name... I don't know. My wife was a Gandy, descended from Gandys in Butler County. Do you have any connections there? There's a site on MyFamily.com, named South Alabama Kin, that has a few conncetions you might be interested in. I can have the site send you and invitation if you are interested.
