Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/1923 Surname: Kirksey, Youngblood ------------------------- Thanks a lot, Don, Yes, it cleared it up. Please tell me, have you ever come across the surname Phenix or Fenix (or anything similar) as connected with the Youngbloods or Kirkseys of this (or earlier) time frame and/or place (ie Pike Co)? Thanks again, Charles
Dear Friends, It was thrilling to finally receive my copies of the Heritage Book! It really turned out beautifully and is such a tribute to all the contributors, Last Saturday I presented a copy to the New York Public Library for its wonderful genealogy and history division. I hope a copy will find its way to the LDS in Salt Lake City. Happy diggin'! Nancy
Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/1920 Surname: Youngblood, Craig, Kirksey ------------------------- William L. Youngblood married Elizabeth Craig. William died during the Civil War (CSA). Elizabeth then remarried to William H. Kirksey. William Kirksey and Elizabeth then moved to Texas with her sons around 1880. Elizabeth had three sons prior to the Kirksey marriage; Joseph Richard Youngblood, William Youngblood and Greene Youngblood. Hope that clears it up some. I just found ancesters of one of the three brothers (William Youngblood). I am of the Joseph Richard Youngblood line. I still need help on Greene Youngblood.

Are there tax or real estate records available for Pike County for the time period 1830- 1850? I am pulling my hair out trying to find out more about my ggggrandmother, Rhoda Mathews/Mathis, who was a widow by the 1830 census. I have her on the 1840 census still in Pike County, but by 1850, she has moved on with her son Wiley Mathews/Mathis and wife Sarah Meyers (Myers) to Attala County, Mississippi. By her being a widow back then, it has been like pulling hens teeth to find her maiden name or what her husband's name was. Enumerated directly above her and her two small boys, was another widow, Nancy Mathews/Mathis. Rhoda is about 13 years younger than Nancy, so I don't believe that is her mother. Nancy later lived with her daughter, Caroline, who married John Attwell. Thanks for any help anyone on the list can offer. Clare L.
