Ggggfa Daniel Greene bur. Parker Cem. died at 42 or 47 yrs. old-have in my folder; he was b. 1793 Old Greenville Dist. of S.C. but I don't have his wife Stacy's maiden name nor who their parents are. Does the paper go back to the 1820's and is it indexed to where I could find a marriage announcement? frances

Thea, I wish I could be of more help, but that is all the information I have. The will states that the Cook Farm was located 4 miles east of Livingston, and after the death of the man who was writting the will, he wanted it to return to its original owner. There is no more information about it. It was originally owned by B G Cooke, but he had been dead for many years when the will was written in 1894. Lois

Thea, did you ever find the information you needed about the Cook Place? I found a description in an old will. The Cook Place was a small plantation located 4 miles east of Livingston, Sumter County, Alabama. ope this helps you. Lois H

Thea, Thanks for the look-ups. John Wilson, b1825, supposedly was a Circuit Judge and Postmaster in Baldwin Co., AL.. Supposedly born in England. John C. Wilson, worked for the RR in York, AL. Gussie DuBose was a dau of Middleton DuBose of Choctaw Co., AL. Gussie has 13 given names and "Gussie" was not one of them, but a nickname. We have no idea where they were married.

Dave, I didn't find any information on John WILSON, Matilda BROMLEY or Thomas RILEY. Are you sure they were married in Sumter County? I didn't find John Clarence WILSON or Gussie DUBOSE either. But because DUBOSE is a unique surname, I checked for other DUBOSE's and here's what I found Julia Ann DUBOSE to Louis EZELLE, lic dt 29 Jan 1890, marr dt 30 Jan 1890, book CO4, page 0099 Henry DUBOSE to Jennie BROWNING, lic dt 15 Aug 1877, there was no marr dt, book CO2, page 0365 Robert DUBOSE to Sudie TAYLOR, lic dt 27 Dec 1888, there was no marr dt-it was marked as not returned, book CO4, page 0014 I hope this information helps.
