She is somewhere in MS. This is for some one living in Tallapoosa County -- can you look this ferry question up for Bobbyee? Or please give her the address of the Library in Dadeville and ALEX City. Let me mention that during one of my visits into ALEX City or Dadeville, AL I seen a book on Tallapoosa County that had several pages for each of the one room schools, old churches, cotton mills, and more. It evan had a special section on that part of the county West of the River. I would think that it has something on the ferries. After all for the greater part, you had to take the ferry or swim to get across the river. Maybe some one living in Tallapoosa County can do a look up.

The old maps will also show the ferries. For certain Youngs ferry is show. Other ferries were up river and down river from Youngs ferry. Have seen some of those names, have since forgot what they were.

Thanks for your update. Do they have an address and person to contact? They seem to be taking their time. Makes one wonder if they only want the rich land owners, doctors and business men in their book of Tallapoosa County Heritage. That county had a lot of tenant farmers, mill workers and cotton pickers that need to be mentioned in their book.

I am told that my gg grandfathers family ran a ferry on the Tallapoosa River.My gg grand father was William Norman Williams and he had a brother Fletcher Williams. Can any one tell me what years they ran the ferry and help me locate the parents of these two in that time frame. I know that William was born Jan. 13,1829. Thank you

A new pastor was visiting members asking them to attend the service next Sun. his first as pastor. Many would ask him, have you met Fanny Green! Finally the day came and the house was full except for a seat or two on the front pew. Everyone was in place and service was close to beginning. In walked a young lady wearing a short skirt and she walked to the front pew, sat down and crossed her legs. The pastor, sitting in front of the choir and the Chm. of Deacons right behind him, turned and asked the deacon, "is that Fanny Green"? Deacon replied, no, that is the sun shining through the stained glass window! In the old days of "drummers" taking orders at country stores, one came into a store and some men were sitting around the stove. Lying on the floor was a pretty bird dog. The drummer, an avid bird hunter, flipped. He asked whose dog is that? A man allowed, "he is mine". "Is he trained? :yep, hes a goodun". Drumer said "I am going on an important hunt Sat., and just have to have that dog, I'll give you $50 for the dog". Finally the price got up to $100 at which time the ownner said ok. The drummer then said, "I don't have $100 with me but will bring it next Thursday, when I come back here. The store ownner will vouch for me, I am an Elder in the Presbyterian Church etc". Finally, he took the dog and left. Nothing said for a while, then the former dog ownner looked at another man and ask, "what is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church"? Reply was "I don't know but I think he something like a Deacon in the Baptist Church". Previous ownner declared, heck, the man stole my dog"! A couple of weeks ago a wreckless driver sideswipped my Nissan truck, no damage to me, but its now in hospital! Have to get going on the Sept.

My ancestor GLENN BARNETT b.1795 Spartanburg Co, SC died after 1870 census probably Coosa or Tallapoosa Co, Ala. In 1870 he was listed in the Nixburg area of Coosa Co. With him were his son RANDOLPH b.1843, daughter PRISCILLA b.1844, and daughter EMALINE BOYD b.1835 (all b. Ala). What happened to these three children? Cannot find them in 1880. Any help appreciated. Janice Barnett Craft

If it was a water mill on one of the creeks, it may have been flooded when the power company built the dam on the Tallapoosa River. Try to find a map before the dam was built, sometime before the 1920's. I think they finished that dam in the late 1920's.

Hello All... I'm looking for info on the following Bain line. Note that the spelling has changed in the past 200 years.Here is my line: me- Kenneth Noel BAIN, Jr. son of- Kenneth Noel BAIN and Beverly FUTRELL son of- J.H. (Jake) BAIN and Flossie WHETSTONE son of John Henry BAIN and Mamie WYNN son of Benjamin Noel BAIN and Margaret PRICE son of James Calvin BANE and Sarah Ann TUCKER *not documented: son of- Abraham BAYNE and Sarah ?WEST? James Calvin BANE was born in either Alabama, or (probably) Georgia. I believe that he was born in either Putnam or (probably) next door in Jones County, GA. He moved to Tallapoosa County, AL at an early age. I have found who I believe to be the family on the Tallapoosa County Census in 1830 and 1840 in the household of Abraham BANE... the same person (I believe) as Abraham BAYNE in Jones Co, GA in 1820. In addition to Census records, I have found many references to the BANES in Tallapoosa County. Here are some of them: 1. Marriage license of James BANE to Sarah Ann TUCKER dated 5 Aug 1848. *Note: Sarah TUCKER is buried in Ida, LA in the family's present day cemetary. 2. Marriage license of Benjamine BANE to Lorena HARRIS dated 20 Sept 1853. *Note: I believe this to be James's brother because census records document they were 5 years apart in age and lived next door to one another in Alabama and Arkansas until James' death after the Civil War. 3. Marriage record of Amanda BAINS to James A McCULLERS dated 5 Oct 1830 by Enoch Hays, MG. Consent by her father, Abraham BANE. 4. Marriage record of Bathina Ann BAIN to Henry PEEPLES dated 25 Sept 1843 (solemized 28th) by W.Williams, JP; Isaac F Stow, bondsman. Also a land record: ALBERT S. ELMORE, Sergeant in Capt. Elmore's Co. Col Payton's regiment, LA Volunteers. Warrant #1515. Benjamin BAIN, assignee, Fraction C of Section 19 Township 22 in District of Lands subject to sale at Montgomery, ALA, containing 59 acres. April 1, 1858. Also... James Calvin BANE may have been originally named James Mansfield BANE, but supposedly didn't like the middle name of Mansfield and changed it to Calvin. The marriage license and some census records indicate a middle name beginning with "M". We know this is him by the names and ages of children in the household on census records. Thanks in advance...
