She and my gggrandmother appeared in the 1850 census for Columbus, Ga. Do you know of anyone that knows anything about the Bosworths? Also Ella C. married James M. Walls and they lived somewhere around Daviston. Know anything about the Walls? Just grasping at straws here!

He was born and died in Tallapoosa Co AL. Can anyone tell me the names of this man's parents? And, if he is buried in the Dadeville Cemetery. I am hopeful if I find his grave, his parents are buried there too.

Chambers-Tallapoosa County AlArchives Marriages.....Redd, Mollie Hinton - McGinty, Wiley Patterson, Sr. October 31, 1931 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/al/alfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Gerald K. "Jerry" McGinty, Sr. mcgintyboy@aol.com August 15, 2006, 7:42 am Marriage License Mollie Hinton Redd, first wife of Wiley P. McGinty, Sr., and the mother of all their children, was born in Northport, Tuscaloosa Co., AL, April 8, 1875. She was the fifth of fourteen children, five of which did not survive infancy. Her parents were Henry Jackson Redd and Margaret “Maggie” Jane Taylor. Henry was born, November 17, 1848, near Tuscaloosa, AL. Maggie was born January 30, 1852, in Chambers Co. Henry and Maggie were married April 11, 1869, in Tuscaloosa Co., AL. Henry was a Primitive Baptist preacher and his early pastorates were in the area of Northport and Tuscaloosa. After 1889, he moved his family often, filling various preaching assignments. They lived in Taylors, MS (1890 census) and then Camp Hill and Opelika, AL. On April 25, 1892, their nineteen- year-old daughter, Jessie Duma Redd, was accidentally killed while walking near the tracks by a runaway railcar. In 1893, Henry moved the family to River View, AL. He served as pastor of the Ephesus Primitive Baptist church, of which several McGintys were founders and very active. The family rented space in the house owned by Wiley P. McGinty, Sr. It was then that Wiley met Mollie Redd. It is interesting to note that Wiley was a Missionary Baptist but Mollie had been raised as a Primitive Baptist. Ephesus Church membership records show that Mollie was a member but Wiley was not. No doubt, this difference sparked some lively debate between them! After Wiley and Mollie were married, Henry and the family moved to another residence in River View, and they show there in the 1900 census (page 318, ED 16, house 307). His name appears misspelled in this census as "Reedd." His occupation is listed as a carpenter. Henry became the local postmaster in 1900. In 1904, Henry moved back to Birmingham (Jefferson Co.) where as “Elder Redd” he operated a shoe repair shop and finished out his days. The family shows there in the 1910 census (page 110, ED 71, house 65), and he operated a shoe shop. His name appears misspelled in the census as "Reed." He died there, November 24, 1916. Maggie is shown in the 1920 census, living in Birmingham with daughter, Belle Redd Inscho. She then moved to Nashville, TN and was living with daughter Carrie Redd Lennard when she died January 31, 1925. Henry and Maggie are buried together at the Woodlawn Cemetery in Birmingham. Mollie’s paternal grandparents were Josiah Jackson Redd, Jr., and Narcissa McElroy. They were married January 21, 1848, in Bibb Co., AL and settled ten miles west of Tuscaloosa. They lived at what was called the “Jim Booth Place,” not far from the headwaters of Big Creek that empties into the Warrior River. Their house was built on a high hill. In 1855, Josiah purchased 120 acres of land about one mile south of the Booth place and built a small home there. It was in the forest, about one-mile from the public road. It was constructed of split logs and had one door and no windows. The floor was made of twelve-inch wide, undressed wooden planks. The chimney was made of rocks and clay. This house served the family well during the war years. On March 31, 1862, Josiah enlisted as a private in the 41st Reg., AL Inf., Army of TN (Sipsey Guards). He sustained a serious shoulder/back wound at Chickamauga on September 20, 1863. He recovered but was crippled for life. On February 5, 1894, then living in Tuscaloosa, he applied for and was granted a war relief pension (#6410). The war years were not good for Narcissa and she died December 26, 1865. She was buried at the old Bethany Missionary Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa. Around 1866, Josiah married a war widow, Mrs. Ellen Glover Savage. Later, his son, Henry Redd often credited her with the long life of his father. When Josiah was eighty years old, he attended a Confederate veteran’s picnic in Tuscaloosa (photo). For some reason, the horses pulling his wagon spooked, reared up and threw Josiah out of the wagon. He was injured and died of complications three weeks later, September 2, 1906. Mollie’s paternal great grandparents were Josiah Jackson Redd, Sr., and Elizabeth Woods. They were from GA and settled in Bibb Co., AL, ca. 1827. They moved to Tuscaloosa in 1838 and then returned to Bibb Co. in the 1860’s and died there. Mollie’s maternal grandparents were John Duke Taylor and Sarah Ann Burdett. They were married on January 2, 1851, in Chambers Co., AL. John was born in Covington, Newton Co., GA, January 21,1827. Sarah was born in Dekalb Co., GA in 1832. Margaret “Maggie” was their only child. Sometime before 1850, John Duke moved from Meriwether Co., GA to Randolph Co., AL with his father Thomas Taylor and mother Sarah Duke. They show there in the 1850 census. The marriage of John and Sarah was short lived. When Maggie was only seven, Sarah became blind and died in 1859. She is said to be buried near her mother, Isabel Davis Burdett, at the Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church near LaFayette, AL. In 2003, my brother Phil and I visited this cemetery and found the grave of Isabel Burdett. After searching the maintained portion of the cemetery, we found her gravesite, partially obscured by undergrowth. Her gravestone is a solid slab of grey slate, covered with moss. The inscription reads: “Here lays the body of Isabel Burdett. Was born on Feb the 11th 1791 and died Nov 25 1851.” This was quite a find for us as she is our great, great, great grandmother. After Sarah died, John sent Maggie to live with John T. and Margaret R. Amos in Randolph Co., AL (census of 1860). Margaret Amos might have been a sister of Sara Burdett. At this time, John lived with the family of Daniel and Nancy Coggins in Chambers Co., AL (census of 1860) . Nancy was the sister of Sara Ann Burdett. Sometime later, John and his brother, William (“Billie”) purchased a farm together in Coosa Co., AL. Maggie may have joined her father there. This farming venture ended when the war broke out. John Duke enlisted in March 1862, as a private in Co. G, 2nd AL Calvary and Maggie was sent to live with her grandparents, Thomas and Sarah Taylor, who were living in Cottondale, AL. During the war, it is said that John had his hat shot off and his horse shot out from under him, but he survived. His unit served as escort for Jefferson Davis from Greensboro, NC to GA. He surrendered with his unit at Forsyth, GA at the war’s end in 1865. Later in life, in 1904, he applied for and received a disability pension while then living in Jefferson Co., AL (#14175). After the war, ca. 1866, John Duke married Mrs. Martha “Martie” Elmore Morgan and moved to Northport, AL. It was there in Tuscaloosa Co. that Maggie met Henry Redd. John Duke Taylor was a member of the fraternal order, “Woodsmen of America,” and his gravestone is said to symbolize a tree stump. He was a butcher and sold meats for years in Tuscaloosa. His motto was “The best meats at the lowest prices.” He advertised regularly in the Tuscaloosa Times. John and Martha show in the 1900 census, living in Bessemer, AL, ED 121. At one time, he was in partnership with his son-in-law, Henry Jackson Redd who later became a minister. John Duke Taylor died September 11, 1904, and is buried, along with Martha, at the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Bessemer, AL. Mollie’s maternal great grandparents were Humphrey K (or M). Burdett and Isabella Davis who had moved from Dekalb Co., GA to Chambers Co., AL around 1837. Isabella died in 1851 and sometime after 1855, Humphrey moved to Randolph Co., AL (census of 1860). Isabella Davis was the daughter of Capt. Amos E. Davis of Union Co., SC. Amos served in the Revolutionary War and is DAR confirmed. Humphrey Burdett served in the War of 1812. He entered service as a private on January 1, 1815, in the Pendelton District of SC. He was discharged on March 10, 1815, at Sister Ferry, SC near Savannah, GA. Later, Belle Redd Inscho, sister of Mollie Redd McGinty, was accepted into the Daughters of the War of 1812 based on his service record. Mollie’s other maternal great grandparents were Thomas Taylor and Sarah Duke. Thomas was born ca. 1806 in SC. They were married in Covington, Newton Co., GA, November 7, 1824. By 1842, they were living in Newnan, Coweta Co., GA. By 1844, they had moved to Columbus, Muscogee Co., GA. They moved to Randolph Co., AL from GA sometime after 1849. Mollie’s maternal great, great grandfather was John P. Taylor. He was born ca. 1780 in NC. He moved his family to GA. He lived near Newnan, Coweta Co., GA and died there, ca. 1867. Mollie Redd McGinty died of a heart attack, October 31, 1931, at age fifty- eight. Her gravestone shows a death date of November 1, 1931, but the death certificate shows death occurring at 1:00am on October 31, 1931. She had suffered from high blood pressure for some time. She had been a beloved wife and companion, raising a large family who all turned out to be good citizens in their communities. Her epitaph was published in the LaFayette Sun and reproduced on the front page of the Chattahoochee Valley Times on November 11, 1931. It reads, " Mrs. W. P. McGinty Passes at Riverview Saturday, Oct. 31. Mrs. Mollie McGinty, age 58 years, died at her home in Riverview Saturday morning, October 31st, at 1 o'clock, following a heart attack early last Friday night. The beloved Riverview woman had been suffering for some time with high blood pressure which resulted in the attack last Friday. Funeral services were held from the family residence last Sunday afternoon at three o'clock…the deceased was a member of the Baptist church and had lived a useful life in that community…internment was in the McGinty cemetery." Wiley P. McGinty, Jr., recalls that as part of her funeral service, the pastor read from the last chapter of Proverbs, 31:10 - 31, “A good wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels….” She was buried next to her husband in the McGinty Plot at Fairview Cemetery in Valley, AL.

I would certainly appreciate your help, as these are the Hurston's for whom I am searching. There are lots of indications that these families were somehow connected. Specifically, similarities in naming , location(s), etc. I have lots of questions: 1. Where is the Lee County Archives located? Are their records catalogued online? 2. In what documents was this information found? 3.Where was John William Hurston's plantation located? 4. What was the name of the plantation? 5.Where in Macon County did John William Hurston live? Was it Franklin? 6.Like John William, Alfred came from Georgia also. Have you located where in Georgia? I know this sounds like an inquisition, but I still have so many unanswered questions. Like was Amie's maiden name Vaughn or Tole-Youngblood. I know my Moss relatives were connected to a plantation on Wire Road (I think it was the HUDSON plantation). Was John William's Plantation near there? I would certainly love to work with you on locating our lost families. Although I know that some of my Hurston's are mulatto, I have no information on the white families from which they come. It would be great working with you to uncover this part of the Hurston heritage. I look forward to hearing from you and hope thaere is some way I will be able to assist in your efforts.
