Good Morning--My WATSON connection comes from the marriage of one of my PATTON kin, Onie Bell PATTON to James Marion BROWN--their daughter Flora BROWN married James WATSON in about 1920 in Walker Co. Believe they had 11 children. James WATSON is a son of Thomas Michael WATSON and Elizabeth Dolly BOWDEN. See any matches?

I think my post on the Robbins got buried in other stuff, so I am reposting in hopes that someone knows something about this family or other Robbin/Robins famlies who lived around the Oakman area in Walker Co., AL I have a Samuel James (Sam/Mickey) Robbins who married Alabama (Bama) Stacha McNutt on 17 Nov 1895 in Winston Co., AL, but they lived in Walker Co. all their lives in the Oakman area. The McNutts were from Winston County. Samuel was born 26 Aug 1877 in Walker Co. and died 16 May 1963 in Walker Co., AL, and he is buried in the Earnest Chapel Church Cemetery, near Oakman (southeast of), Walker Co., AL. I am seeking the name of his father. I believe his name may have been James, but I can't seem to find him on the census records. The name of his mother was Mary Ann (Molly), I believe. About 5 years after Samuel's father (possibly named James) died Mary married William Alexander Pugh. They had Melvin, David, Charlie, Leonard born ca 1926. Leonard was enumerated with Samuel J and Alabama McNutt as a nephew on the 1930 Walker County, Alabama Census. Does anybody know the name of Samuel James Robbins' father or maiden name of his mother, Mary Ann (Molly).

There are photocopies of a letter from James Matlock KITCHENS, ancestor of the KITCHENS in Walker County, in the KITCHENS family file at the library in Jasper. The letter is dated February 15, 1863, and it is a stunning account of the Civil War and its toll on Kitchens's family and community. I first discovered it in 2002, it having been published in September 1991 in Vol. 2, No. 3 of "Walking Back In Time," the journal of the Walker County Genealogical Society. The letter: ----- A Letter from James M. Kitchens to his children February 15, 1863 The State of Ala. February 15th 1863 Verry Dear Children I avail my self of this favorable opportunity of riting you a few lines to let you now that we are well in common health and the conviction with the exception of Zack Dutton. i understand he is sick though i dont know what his complaint is. your aunt Susan Hamilton is dead. She died sometime last spring. her son James and one of the girls is living with John Hamilton in Walker. Some of the children is living with John Loony. i would inform you that George Dutton was captured in the fort Donilson fight. George is dead. Sarrah is married to Christopher Witt and Frances to Stephen Dutton. Frances has a Son and Sarah a Daughter. i Received a letter from Matlock Kitchens date 13 January. he was in Rome Georgia wounded in the right foot at the Murfersborough fight. I have nothing of interest to rite to you. times is very distressing withe us particular with [the] Poor. Salt has been selling at 60 to 65 per pound, pork at 12 to 15 here and at Tuscaloosa from $20 to 25 per hundred. your cousin L.W. Baker is dead. he died at Chattanooga Tennessee. 4 of Harvey W. Hamilton sons is in the army. your uncle Jesse Kitchens was captured in Kentucky and paroled. he is gone Back to the army. i heard from him a few days past. he was well. he belongs to the 28 Alabama Reg and Matlock to the 22. i will close my letter for the present hoping these few lines may Reach and find you all in good health and doing well is the Wish of yours. Farwell, James M. Kitchens [A photocopy of the original letter is in the Kitchens family file in the Heritage Room of the Jasper Public Library.] ----- I do not know to whom this letter was addressed, or through whom it came to us. I don't think it was to his "children," but probably to his grandchildren. He refers to Jesse KITCHENS, his son, as "uncle," and L.W. BAKER, his grandson (son of Alvin BAKER and Susan KITCHENS), as "cousin." The Zack DUTTON he mentions is probably Zachariah DUTTON, son of Jarrard DUTTON and Charity McDANIEL (or McDONALD). Zachariah served in Company L, 28th Alabama Infantry, CSA, and died of disease in February 1864 in Covington, Georgia. He was a first cousin to James M. KITCHENS's son-in-law Thomas DUTTON, who migrated to Walker County with the KITCHENS family and others. That he wasn't even a blood relative to James M. KITCHENS goes to show how concerned he was for his extended family and community, and how close he was the DUTTON family. (It is also possible that he wrote "Jack" Dutton, and was referring to one of his grandsons, either John F. Dutton or Alexander J. Dutton, but in the verdict of several people who have looked at the photocopy and myself, it looks like "Zack.") When I first found the letter, I did not know who "aunt" Susan HAMILTON was. I believe I've identified her on the census, and I think this reference may unlock who the letter is to. On the 1850 census of Lawrence County, Alabama, Elbert HAMILTON, born ca. 1819 in Alabama, is listed with wife Susan, born ca. 1819 in Alabama, sons George, born ca. 1844, and John, born ca. 1845, and daughters Mary, born ca. 1847, and Martha, born ca. 1850. I suspect Elbert HAMILTON is the brother of Harvey William HAMILTON, both sons of Barton HAMILTON -- can anybody support this? They were living next door to Moses LOONEY, and John LOONEY was close by (John LOONEY married Polly HAMILTON, whom I suspect to be a sister to Elbert). Lawrence County marriage records show Elbert HAMILTON marrying Susan VANPELT on 17 Aug 1842. Since Susan is not a blood relative to James KITCHENS, but she is the "aunt" of the letter's recipients, I would think the recipients must also be kin to the Elbert HAMILTON, their "uncle." But Harvey W. HAMILTON is referred to elsewhere in the letter, with news of his family, so it would seem the letter didn't go to them. It's puzzling. George DUTTON is the oldest son of Thomas DUTTON and Elizabeth KITCHENS, and James KITCHENS's grandson. The 1866 Alabama census indicates that he "died of disease" while serving in the war, but his fate was otherwise unknown until this letter was uncovered. I do not know for certain which army he was serving. I can positively identify no war record for him. Thomas DUTTON did own several slaves at one point, but the DUTTONs lived in a strongly Unionist area. If George was captured at Fort Donelson, however -- a Confederate loss -- then it would appear that he was probably serving the Confederate Army. Sarah DUTTON and Frances DUTTON are James's granddaughters, children of Thomas DUTTON and Elizabeth KITCHENS. Mary Frances DUTTON married Stephen Penn DUTTON on 8 Jan 1862, and gave birth to a son George, born about 1863. Sarah Jane DUTTON married Christopher Columbus WITT on 5 February 1862, and gave birth to a daughter, Nancy Elizabeth WITT, born 22 November 1862. Matlock KITCHENS is James' son. L.W. BAKER was a grandson, son of Alvin Roberts BAKER and Susan KITCHENS. Harvey W. HAMILTON was James' son-in-law, who was married to James' daughter Mary. "Uncle" Jesse KITCHENS was also James's son. I hope you all find this letter as interesting as I have, and can help me fill in some of the gaps! Best regards, Joseph

I have another KITCHENS obit, Asa KITCHENS died Wed 31, 2008, buried Gray Cemetery in Parrish. delilah

I have an obit on a ALBERT EUGENE KITCHENS, from DeKalb Cty GA, died Dec 18, 1952. If this could be part of yours and want a copy, let me know.

Yes! Elizabeth KITCHENS (the name is spelled Elisebeth on her tombstone), born 22 Aug 1817 in Lawrence County, Alabama, died ca. 1866-1870 (the bottom half of the tombstone is broken off), married on 7 Apr 1836 in Lawrence County, Alabama to Thomas DUTTON, born 4 Dec 1809 in Granville County, North Carolina, died 27 Jun 1887. I believe Thomas to be the brother of James DUTTON who went to Walker County with James Matlock KITCHENS, as part of a large migration of families from Lawrence County in the late 1840s. Two of James's children married HAMILTON children, the children of Harvey William HAMILTON and Mary KITCHENS (Simeon B. DUTTON married Rebecca HAMILTON, and Elizabeth Ann DUTTON married Christopher Columbus HAMILTON), and a third son, George W. DUTTON, married Mary BROWN, daughter of Thomas BROWN (whose sister was Sally BROWN KITCHENS) and Lovey IRWIN (whose sister was Mary IRWIN, George's mother). The DUTTON and KITCHENS families remained very close, and James Matlock KITCHENS mentions several of Thomas DUTTON's children (his grandchildren) in the letter from him that is on file in Jasper. (I'll forward that along again in case others don't have it; it's an amazing find.) I'm especially interested in the KITCHENS family, on account of their close connection to my Duttons. Caroline and I had an adventure a few years ago hunting the grave of James Matlock KITCHENS. Has the grave ever been re-marked? Thomas DUTTON and Elizabeth KITCHENS DUTTON are buried in Friendship Baptist Cemetery, three miles south of Danville, Alabama on the Morgan-Lawrence County line. Here's a list of their children: 1. George DUTTON, born ca. 1837 in Morgan County, Alabama, died ca. 1861-1865 in Civil War — affiliation unknown; never married. 2. Sarah Jane DUTTON, born ca. 1841 in Morgan County, Alabama, died ca. 1919-1920 in Eastland County, Texas; married (1) 5 Feb 1862 in Morgan County, Alabama to Christopher Columbus WITT, (2) 24 Jan 1866 in Morgan County, Alabama to Richard J. TURRENTINE, (3) 10 Jan 1878 in Morgan County, Alabama to Stephen Penn DUTTON. 3. Mary Frances DUTTON, born 22 Aug 1844 in Morgan County, Alabama, died 7 Oct 1877 in Morgan County, Alabama; married 8 Jan 1862 in Morgan County, Alabama to Stephen Penn DUTTON. 4. James H. DUTTON, born 1846 in Morgan County, Alabama, died 28 Dec 1910 in Decatur, Morgan County, Alabama; married 18 Sep 1867 in Morgan County, Alabama to Edna E. NANCE. 5. Lavina Presley DUTTON, born 24 Aug 1850 in Morgan County, Alabama, died 30 Mar 1910 in Lawrence County, Alabama; married 30 Sep 1872 in Morgan County, Alabama to James Andrew HOGAN. 6. David F. DUTTON, born 9 Oct 1851 in Morgan County, Alabama, died 9 Oct 1879 in Morgan County, Alabama, buried in Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery; never married. 7. John Franklin DUTTON, born 16 Jan 1853 in Morgan County, Alabama, died 4 Jun 1912 in Morgan County, Alabama; married 19 Nov 1874 in Morgan County, Alabama to Piety Ann WILHITE. 8. Alexander J. DUTTON, born 16 May 1856 in Morgan County, Alabama, died 12 Nov 1928 in Morgan County, Alabama; married 19 Sep 1881 in Lawrence County, Alabama to Malinda Susan McCORMICK. 9. William C. DUTTON, born ca. 1859 in Morgan County, Alabama; may have moved to Sebastian County, Arkansas (according to a mention in Dombhart's History of Walker County; no other mention of this has been found).

Thanks again Delilah. I have the heritage book. The Kitchens family e.i., TELA KITCHENS married into my family when she married JAMES EARL STRICKLAND. Both are buried separately in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Fayette Co., AL. Both of their parents were buried there as well. They were divorced. I have a photograph of them together when they were very young.

Hello y'all, Since my mailbox is now being flooded with this wonderful outpouring of excitement for Walker County (every other mailing list I'm subscribed to has been dead for some time), I figured I might as well join the parade. I don't descend from Walker County, but I do love it and have spent a good bit of time there researching. My primary family of interest in the area is DUTTON. There are a few branches of my family in the area: 1. James DUTTON (1807-1885) married Mary IRWIN (c. 1807 -- c. 1880s); they lived south of McCollum at Dutton Hill. 2. Zachariah DUTTON (c. 1821 -- 1864), first cousin of the above; married Mary Emily RUSHING (c. 1833 -- 1896); their descendants lived in the northeastern part of the county, around Powellville, Burrows Crossroads, and Curry. 3. William DUTTON (c. 1824 -- ????), brother of the above; married Martha McDONALD (c. 1826 -- ????); lived near Kansas in Walker County, and eventually strayed over into Texas in Marion County. 4. Isaac BROWN (1845-1915), nephew of the above; married Margaret C. LOLLAR (1844-1923); they lived near Oakman. I'm also peripherally very interested in the following families my Duttons married into: McDONALD, IRWIN, KITCHENS, HAMILTON, SPARKS, BROWN, HOGAN, LOLLAR. And others, too. I have a bit of information on my family online here: http://www.zdutton.org/ If anybody is connected to these families (and especially to the Duttons), I'd love to hear from you. Keep up the great work! Best regards, Joseph T. Richardson
