Hello- I would like to contact anyone on the list that might know something about the Vandiver and Boley families from Shelby County, Alabama. I am sending this message to the Rootsweb lists for counties near to Shelby in hopes that someone recognizes the names below. My great-grandfather was Dr. William Constant VANDIVER, born 1856, son of James L. and Martha Ann Vandiver. He married Clara Iola BOLEY (born 1857) sometime before 1879. They lived in Vandiver, Alabama. Dr. Vandiver went to Mena, Arkansas sometime after 1891. Clara's children were: Lula A. Vandiver (b. 1879, married Edmond Salser). Ida Vandiver (married J. E. O'barr, 15 September 1897). Leila Iola Vandiver (b. 13 Jan. 1889, d. 11 Nov. 1971, married Arthur Lamar Williams). James Clyde Vandiver (b. 16 June 1891, d. 14 November 1940, married Nancy Frances Johnson). James Clyde was my grandfather. I would like to make contact with relatives of William Vandiver and Clara Boley, or anyone that might know some family history. I am also interested in the history of the Vandiver, Alabama area. Thank you, James C. Vandiver

To the list and especially to W. Alexander, Thank you all so very much for your information. It has helped tremendously! Regards to all, Evelyn Leslie Remlap, AL

Since the cemetery page is apparently undergoing some changes, does anyone have the Coaling Cemetery listing who could check to see if Martha SHELBY born 1803 is buried there, and/or any other SHELBY's? Thanks! Evelyn

The 1880 census for Smiths (precinct or twp) in Tuscaloosa Co., AL shows the following: WARD, H(enry) T(enel) age 27, coal miner, born AL Margaret (JORDAN) wife, age 23, born AL daughter Ida age 3 born AL son William Henry age 6 mos born AL SHELBY, Martha, Grandmother, Widow, Age 77, born NC Does anyone have any other SHELBY's in this area? I think she is probably H. T. "Dan" WARD's grandmother because we have not turned up any SHELBY's in the JORDAN line, but she could be either one. Hugh T. "Dan" WARD and wife Margaret JORDAN are buried at Coaling Cemetery. Thanks for any input. Evelyn

Hi, I cannot help you directly, but wish to at least let you know that my ancestor, Solomon B. Stewart, moved to Perry Co., AL in the late 1820's, and I can't help but believe that there may be a distant, remote connection. Solomon had come from Lincoln Co. TN in the late 1815-20 timeframe, moving into Marion County around 1820-1821, thence to Tuscaloosa County around 1824. Whether or not he 'moved' to Perry County, or was in Tuscaloosa County and perhaps it changed to Perry, I don't know. I have always (without any evidence) suspected that they moved over to Perry County due to ill health or death of Solomon or his wife's parents. Also, Solomon's daughter Mary and Allen Avery took out a marriage license in Perry in 1831. Any idea what vocation Jehu was in?

This is a follow-up to my previous note about Thomas and William Pate owning land together in 1837 Tuscaloosa as tenants in common. A good friend's husband is an attorney who told her that it was common for fathers and sons to buy land together, with the unwritten agreement that the father provided at least some of the money for the purchase, while the son farmed the whole thing. Unless it is specified on the deed, each party held an undivided half interest, with the father's name often appearing for security. Since both men's names appear on the Tuscaloosa deed, and there is no division of land noted on the deed, I'm going to assume this is what happened with Thomas and William, and I am going to proceed in my research with that assumption because it makes the most sense to me. I just can't see two Pate brothers buying land together that late in their lives when they'd already owned property before moving to Tuscaloosa. And I can't see Thomas buying land with a nephew. It just seems logical to me that it's a father and son arrangement. Their ages are right too. (That certainly was the case with Jesse Beck and his son Edom, for which I have more proof than I do for the Pates.) I know the case I have is circumstantial but I feel evidence is starting to accumulate. Next step is to see what happened to that particular piece of land after Thomas died. Thank you, Karen, Richard and Charlotte for all of your help and for your ideas. Linda

Can someone look up the following households on the 1850 Tuscaloosa County Census with the surname "South" ? 219A 241B 250A 257B Thank you so very much. Karen

A Beck cousin just pointed out to me that there is a land grant for Thomas and William Pate in Tuscaloosa, on March 30, 1837 for 159.6 acres. The deed mentions that the land is held in common and not as joint tenancy. Apparently this is the land on which the Pate cemetery is located: SW 23, 21S. 12W. While the deed doesn't state a relationship between the two men, it seems obvious to me that Thomas and William are either brothers or father and son. It just doesn't seem logical that it would be between uncle and nephew....to me anyway. Has anyone else seen this before or have any other information on it? I'd also like to hear others thoughts on the relationship between Thomas and William. Linda

Would someone be so kind as to perform a lookup in the Alabama 1870 census for Grant OWEN(s) and his family? At one point, they were believed to have lived somewhere between Lamar and Walker corridors of Alabama. I am sorry not to have the exact county name, but I could really use help in placing Grant OWEN(s) and his family at 1870. Hoping someone is willing to help locate Grant OWEN(s) and his family at the 1870 Tuscaloosa County, Alabama census. San [email protected]
