The Battle of Horseshoe Bend, part of the War of 1812, was fought here. There are lots of hills and tributaries that feed into the river. In 1911, most people still got around on foot. A bad storm, a wrong turn, a slip, and it would be easy for someone to go missing. Heck, there is mostly forest land there now. It would be easy to get lost. Add wildlife and you can imagine what could happen. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have Mary Jane Stephens who married Joseph Marion Adair 1861 in Tallapoosa Co. In 1860 there were two Joseph Adair's in Tallapoosa, one b. 1829 the other 1839, both b. GA, but NOT one b. 1844. In the civil war records there appears to have been two Jospeh Adair's there also, one in Co. C 57 AL who enlisted at 18 in Goodwater (Coosa Co.)(b. 1844), and the other who enlisted at 22 @ Cusseta (Chambers Co.)(b.1839) in Co. H John Thompson's Mounted Vols. This second Joseph M. Adair died in service, as Mary Jane filed in 1863 as widow. The J.M. Adair b. 1844 lived & married Sarah Frances Blair in 1867. It seems everyone, I mean everyone, has the two J.M. Adair's combined as the same one, marrying both women, which has to be wrong. Can anyone else help shed light on this? Here's the Alabama Civil War Soldiers database with the Adair's: http://www.archives.alabama.gov/civilwar/results.cfm Thanks for any help!

I'll ask if and when I get back. As in most, if not all, other jurisdictions, wills and deeds were recorded in legal "blank books" with printed page numbers so that it would be obvious if any pages were removed. The books had pages in the front where a running index could be recorded. The first entry in the index under "A" for instance, would be for the first deed (or will) recorded for someone whose surname began with "A". So the index was alphabetized only by the first letter of the surname. "Mc" was generally separate from "M" and would include names that began with either of the prefixes "Mc" or "Mac". Deed books had both "Direct" and "Indirect" indices - one indexed the deeds by grantor, the other by grantee. Later these indices were transcribed into index books, which would give the names, book number or letter, and page, so that if you didn't know when a deed had been recorded, you could look in tho! se. The first will book is in bad shape, but the rest are good. I only saw one volume (a deed book, if I remember correctly), where the pages had been cut out and laminated, then put into a new binding. I'm sure they'd like to do this with all the old volumes, to preserve them, but it has to be an expensive process. "Loose papers" such as those your informant said were unindexed, could have been about other things. In only one courthouse (Chester County, SC, if I remember correctly) and one state archives (also SC) have I seen boxes with actual wills, rather than just the ones transcribed by a clerk into will books. I'd imagine they exist elsewhere, as well. You may know all of this about how wills and deeds were recorded, but if so, maybe the information will help someone else. It can get frustrating at times, but then, if genealogy research were too easy it probably wouldn't be so fascinating and fun!

The oldest Will Book had a more recent card index, so it's possible it did not have an original index and that there are missing pages. I didn't think to check for that. Next time!
