I am looking for the parents of my GG Grandmother, Emma Malissa Kay Little who was born on Aug. 12, 1862 in Tusculoosa, Ala. I know some of her siblings. She had a little sister named Lucy Kay who was born in Sept. 1865-67 in Ala. Lucy got real sick and ran a high fever and as a result became retarded. Emma looked after Lucy for the rest of her life. Emma had an older brother, Elijah Kay who was born in 1861 in Ala. and there was a sister named Mary Kay who married John Wesley Little. Something happened to their parents and the Kay children were taken in by the Joseph Early Little family. Years later, Emma married their youngest son, Richard Newman Little and her sister, Mary married Richard Newman's older brother, John Wesley Little. The Littles also lived in Alabama but I have them living in Calhoun County when the Civil War broke out. Joseph Early Little and all of his sons except the youngest, Richard, fought for the south in the Civil War. Joseph was from Jackson Co., Georgia before moving to Alabama and the whole family eventually left Alabama and moved to Chickasaw Co., Miss. I found them living there in 1880 when Richard Newman and Emma Kay Little were newly weds. Emma's brother, Elijah Kay was living with them at the time. I had heard that there might be a brother by the name of William Kay also, but I do not know about that for sure. Emma Malissa Kay's oldest child was my great grandmother, Mary Susanna [Mamie] Salina Little Johnson. I know that people tended to name their children after their relatives. I know that the Salina came from Joseph Early Little's wife, Salina Dodson Little, but I don't know where the Mary Susanna came from. I wonder if maybe it came from the Kay family? Could anyone help me with this family? Mary Kay and John Wesley Little continued to live in Miss. and had three children, Joe, Rosa and Johnnie Little. The rest of the Little's moved to Milam Co., Texas and settled there. Emma Kay Little had most all of her children in Houston, Miss. and so they lived there for a while before moving to Texas. Thank you, Jane Little McEndree

Here are some of the charter members that were members of the Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Church in 1824. Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Church was organized on December 8, 1824 in the wells school house by Tyre Landers and G. B. Waldrop. The following were charter members Frances Landers, Clarissa Woodruff, Sara Morgan, Elizabeth Niblet, Precilla Woodruff, Mary Hendrick, Hannah Spralding, Heziah Lawrence, Sarah Schamblee, Margaret Minchem, Cynthy Barnett, Edith McDaniel, Elly Davis, Nancy Henddris, John Hendrix, Elizabeth Doneyhoo, James Donechoo, Thomas Mason, Produnce Wells, James Well, Bodie Waldrop, Benjamin Waldrop, Alsey Waldrop. The first building was erected in 1824 and replaced in 1909. The first minister of the church was James Hale, who served 16 years consecu tively, and an additional 12 years two years later. Located on Pleasant Hill Road betwee Deluth and Lawrenceville, near the corner of Cruse Road, the church today is used as Sweet water Memorial Chapel. The cemetery is relatively well maintained and several graves are decorated with small Confederate flags. The Eli Landers house is seen directly behind the cemetery. Picture show of a new church building...and the cemetery with the Landers house in the back ground. Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Church information sent to me by Faye Johnston and Masrshall Waldrup.

Does anyone have a date of death and/or burial place for John THOMPSON, son of Nathan THOMPSON and Elizabeth WEAVER? John is likely to have been born in TN as his parents were married there in 1794. Nathan THOMPSON, b. ca. 1775 NC, moved his family to Fayette/Marion counties ca. 1818. John THOMPSON appears in the 1830 Tuscaloosa census. I don't have the 1840 census info but the 1850 Tuscaloosa Co. Census shows John THOMPSON's widow as the head of household: #819 THOMPSON, Charity 42 F (b. 18 July 1809 NC) Martha 18 F 1832 AL Nancy E. 22 F 1828 AL Mary A. 20 F 1830 AL Louisa M. 16 F 1834 AL m. Robert P. WARD Wm. N. 12 M 1838 AL Susan F. 10 F 1840 AL Charity HAM THOMPSON died 29 Jan. 1869 and is buried in Woodland, MS. She is the daughter of Spias HAM and Charity ROBERTS.

I am looking for info or family connections to MARY EMELINE SNIDER daughter of DANIEL & BARABARA WEAVER SNIDER, his parents were JOHN & POLLY HAYNES SNIDER..... DANIEL & BARBARA had 11 children.... MARY EMELINE was one of the children.... she married SOLLY THOMPSON.....whom I think could be J.S THOMPSON (JOSEPH SOLOM THOMPSON) both are buried at EVERGREEN BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY (OLE ROCK BLUFF) TUSCALOOSA CO. AL.... MARY b. 1884 ( the dates are backwards..supposed to be 1848) she died 1911...... J.S. THOMPSON b. 1839 - 1908. BARBARA is the daughter of HENRY WEAVER.... thanks Kim

Jesse Beck and sons William, James and Edom (sometimes E.M.) migrated to Tuscaloosa and Pickens about 1830 (or so). Later, they were joined by sons Jeffrey and Jesse Jr. By 1850, only Jeffrey and Edom remained, and many of their children's marriages are listed in Pauline Gandrud's extracts. Thomas Pate moved to Tuscaloosa at the same time, obtaining land near his daughter Peggy Pate Beck and son-in-law William Beck. Their land was in the northeast part of Pickens county south of Gordo. I have been unable to connect Thomas to better known Pates, such as Charles, Newell, Gilbert et al, but feel certain they are related in some way since Charles and Thomas both came from Morgan County, Ga. It is thought that Charles and Thomas were brothers. Does anyone know who the parents of Newell and Gilbert were? Hoping to connect with other Beck and Pate cousins. Linda

I am searching any info or family connections to J.S. THOMPSON & MARY EMELINE/MAGDALENE SNIDER.......both are buried at EVERGREEN BAPTIST CEMETERY, (OLE ROCK BLUFF), Vance, Tuscaloosa Co., AL......... I believe he could have went by SOLLY THOMPSON......if so, then Mary's parents would be DANIEL SNIDER & BARBARA WEAVER....... At the cemetery has Mary being born 1884 died 1911 ....either the birthdate is wrong or he married a very young woman.....the oldes child of JS THOMPSON was born 1863...... J.S was born 1839 died 1908...... Thanks Kim

I found this in some records from my research: AL Records-Civil Records 1836-1838 May 18, 1849 NANCY MOORE, widow of MICHAEL MOORE, deceased, his son, Wm. M. MOORE, Admin: Securities: William DOWDLE, NANCY MOORE. Appraisers: WM DOWDLE, PHILLIP SHETTLESWORTH, DAVID LINLEY, JAMES DOWDLE, ROBERT MITCHELL In my search for JAMES MONROE SMITH, SR. & JR.(b. Jan. 1866 Cottondale, Tuscaloosa, AL), my grandfather & great grandfather, I find that these same names again in the SHUTTLESWORTH line -MARY CATHERINE to ANDREW SMITH. I find this strange as PHILLIP SHUTTLESWORTH'S widow, NANCY m. to WILLIAM VANCE raised my grandfather,(Jr). In a letter my grandfather wrote he said he was about 3 years old when he was supposed to be adopted. His father and mother were JAMES MONROE SMITH and MATILDA SMITH. His father died when he was an infant. James didn't know where they lived. In 1935, they were both deceased. Is there something here or is it a coincidence? If anyone finds a clue please let me know. I figured that PHILLIP and MARY CATHERINE'S father were brothers. Didn't I figure correctly? Thanks, Kay

In addition to what Rick said, there is a program, ENVIEWER, which imports GED files and presents them in a viewer format. The program comes in a lite version which is free. I mention this because it is a different format from a genealogy program and is very useful for certain purposes. Hugh Old-To: "Lillie Farley" <joefar@bellsouth.net>, Subject: RE: [ALTUSCAL] How do you change a ged file so you can read it? You need to import it into a program that accepts it, such as Family Tree Maker, PAF, TMGW, etc. Rick Leland
