I was able to do an interlibrary loan from my county library here in Oregon to see the book. I think either Troy or maybe the U of Al library lent it or maybe it was a tx library...can't recall...I was able to find my mother's family still living on the same land in Pike Co. Her cousin had submitted an article on the family. I was very excited...book is great resource. Your co library where ever you live can help you do the interlibrary loan thing..

Hi Kim, You are so very welcome -- there are many people on here with much more expertise in Pike Co. Civil War history, but I have read that the Rough and Ready Pioneers were basically a militia unit formed prior to the call for volunteers from the governor (many of these "militia" units became companies of the 1st AL when it was mustered into the service of the Confederacy) and that their gathering place was the old Wood House -- that of Augustus Evans and Jane Pinckard Wood, who moved into town ----- Original Message ----- From: Savvy To: alpike@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 11:27 PM Subject: Re: [ALPIKE] My Pike County Surnames Suzanne, Thanks so much for trying to help me out here. The Jones' are a tough bunch to figure out, especially since there are so many Joseph Jones to be found the area. It's quite possible he did as you said and joined the Rough and Ready Pioneers of Pike Co. I found a Muster Roll for Co. E and there wasn't a Joseph Jones listed, but I sure found a bunch of other names that were familiar, so I thank you very much for that. I have thought about the other woman living with Rutha Jones possibly being her sister-in-law and tried to look for her on the 1870 census to no avail. I assume Rutha and her are still together in 1870 since I can't find either of them on that census. Isham Benjamin Jones joined up with the 17th Alabama Infantry, Co. B. Isham B. Jones Enlistment Date: 1861/09/14 Remarks: Age: 21. Rank: Private. Authority: Muster in roll dated at Montgomery, 1861/09/14. Isham's brother, Samuel James Jones also enlisted. On 5/17/1862 he joined the 33rd Alabama Infantry Co "C". Their sister's husband also enlisted. (James D. Rainer) I have a letter Isham wrote to his sister in the beginning of 1862 (Jan or Feb) from Florida where he says: "Well sis unkle ben is the same old ben he has got a bout 40 more days to stay hear before his time is out" I don't know if he was in the same unit as Isham, but at least I know he was in Florida at the end of 1861 and beginning of 1862. And in another letter written about the same time, Isham says he wants to get a transfer to an artillery battalion and that Uncle Ben is going to join it. He said Uncle Ben would be up there in 7 or 8 days. (Not sure where there" means.) So I suppose I could dig deep into records and find a Ben who switched to an artillery battalion sometime in early 1862! Oh joy! HA! HA! Again, I do appreciate your help.

Could also be Rutha's step-mother-in-law (a second, third, or more) wife to Joseph's father. Joseph is at least 9 years younger than Rutha. Also it was not unusual for sisters to marry brothers -- 5 couples like that in my grandfather's family -- so E.L. Could be a younger sister and SIL of Rutha. Probably more brick walls, but at least lateral lines that might be checked and do you know about any of the Jones men's War service. It would be a little odd that Isham, at 20, was not with them -- though there could be a number of explanations for that. It is also just plain true that no census records are complete and if people weren't at home, they usually weren't counted and lots of people were just plain missed. My grandfather is not in the 1930 index; however, my grandmother is and low and behold there is my gf as head of household. You'd think they'd get it right by then!!

Ha! Ha! My Jones lines is most difficult and considered my brick wall. I am Referring to my 3rd great grandfather. His name on his daughter's death Certificate is "Joe Jones." Her mother, Rutha Simmons/Simons. I also have an article from the Andalusia Star dated 1931. It is an Interview done with Martha Ann (Jones) Rainer at the age if 98. In the Article, she said this about her parents. "Mrs. Rainer's father was Joseph Jones and he was one of the first settlers In this section. He was an Indian warrior ,and he and his wife who was Rutha Spent much time in the forts where the settlers would gather in the time of an Indian uprising. They did their trading at the Old Montezuma capital of this county." One can find Joseph Jones and Rutha first appearing on the 1850 Pike County, Alabama Census in house # 99, page 17. The information gathered in that 1850 census is as follows: Joseph Jones - age 40 - Male - Farmer- born in Georgia Rutha Jones - age 49 - Female - born in Georgia Susan Jones - age 16 - Female - born in Alabama Samuel Jones - age 14 - Male - born in Alabama Isham - Jones - age 11 - Male - born in Alabama Malissa Jones - age 7 - Female - born in Alabama Joseph Jones can't be found on any census after that. However, Rutha Jones can be found on the 1860 Butler County Alabama census, Precinct 5, House # 1017, as follows: R. Jones- age 60 - Female - Born in Georgia I.B. Jones - age 20 - Male - Born in Alabama M. Jones - age 16 - Female - Born in Alabama (wife of I.B. Jones) M.L. Jones - age 16 - Female - Born in Alabama E.L. Jones - age 50 - Female - Born in Georgia M. Jones - age 30 - Female - Born in Alabama M.L. Jones - Age 9 - Female - Born in Alabama L. Jones - Age 2 - Female - Born in Alabama I have not yet figured out who the "E.L. Jones" and the children living with her are yet. I can't find Rutha on the 1870 Census anywhere, but she appears again on the 1880 Butler, South Butler, Alabama Census District 42, House #88 living with her daughter, Martha Rainer, and grand children. Martha Rainer - Age 48 - Female - Born in Alabama James Rainer - Age 22 - Male - Born in Alabama Robert Rainer - Age 20 - Male - Born in Alabama Herretta (?) Rainer - Age 17 - Female - Born in Alabama Lanler (?) Rainer - Age 11 - Female - Born in Alabama Rutha Jones - Age 80 - Female - Born in Alabama I have some good information on 3 of Joseph & Rutha Jones' children, Isham Benjamin Jones, Samuel James Jones, and Martha Ann Jones. But I can't find anything on Malissa or Susan. Per old family letters from Isham to his mother and sister, Martha, I know that Susan is still alive well into the late 1870's and still living in the Butler County area, or surrounding counties. There is no mention of Malissa in these letters. I have a receipt dated 1866 for $300 paid to a James Golden by a Joel Carter on behalf of Susan Williams, Martha Rainer and Malisey Jones. I am assuming Susan and Malisey are Martha's sisters. If that is the case, then Susan Jones married a "Williams." In another letter from a G.W. Simmons written in 1866 from Prattville, Alabama to "his aunt" he also mentions his "cousin Malisey." He also mentions Gracey, Betty and Mary. I am hoping someone will recognize some of these names and will help me make a connection to which Jones family my 3rd great grandfather is from and perhaps who were his wife's family. Any help is appreciated. Other surnames I am researching from Pike & surrounding counties: Rainer Descendants or ancestors of Richard Williams Rambo Descendants and ancestors of James Golden Descendants or ancestors of Isaac Richard Smith or Henry C. Smith Descendants or ancestors of Henry Frances Caine who married Martha Louise Ludie" Rainer 23 Dec 1886 Descendants and ancestors of James Shadrack Williamson Thanks, Kim ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ALPIKE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ALPIKE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ALPIKE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Bravo Debra!!! -- an excellent point -- many people do not like the Soundex for the 1880 census; however, I have always felt it useful for that very reason. It is very tedious and often results in blurred vision and headaches -- but if you are sure your people should be in a census -- just read the closest to the original you can get. The head of household's name may be unintelligible, but if you know the names and ages of wives and children and perhaps even neighbors, you may be able to nail them!! Unusual names are even more often misspelled -- Furnie is a 1st name in my Pike Co. people, but the census comes nowhere close to the correct spelling. Even that is not always foolproof, I cannot find my ggf in the 1930 census in Brundidge and he was the mayor!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: Debra Crosby To: alpike@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 9:59 PM Subject: Re: [ALPIKE] Ricks/Stewart (Stuart) of Pike Co. AL Peggy look for Rice and Rich's Please remember that any transcription or index is done by an individual looking at the record and writing down what they think the record states. In the census records the names were handwritten by census takers and their handwriting can be very difficult to read and transcribe by volunteers. If you are looking at a handwritten census record and transcribing it Ricks could very easily be interpreted as Richs. Any transcription is subject to the transcribers vision, expertise, do they think a letter looks like an a or an o etc. One reason why for whatever you find, try to get the original source record and confirm it for yourself. Census takers in most cases were doing a job to make an income, walking up to a house and taking names and dates, they did not require that the person filled it out for themselves so hughey could be easily converted to hewey or huey depending on how the recorder thought it sounded. Even more importantly the census taker arrived at the house to get information, no one was at home, so they asked the neighbors, while the neighbors may have some info like names, they may not specifically know actual birth dates but the census taker accepts even a guess by the neighbor. Census records are a documentable source for information but they are not infallible because of the way in which they were taken. That means today if you are researching a surname, close your eyes, say your surname, and think to yourself, how does that name sound, how could people spell it. I can say that because my maiden name is Hughey. It sounds like Huey, Hewey. I've seen it spelled over a dozen ways. I have a will of my ggggrandfather and in that one original handwritten document that name is spelled Hughey, Hewey and Huey. Those 3 spellings are in one single document, which means the recorder of that document just didn't know. Please please remember in your research to check ALL spelling possibilities or your surname.
