to: RANCHN@JUNO.NET Excuse me for sending this thru the wilcox co rootsweb pg. but I can not reach ranchn anyother way. Martha Jenkins Pharr was my great great grandmother. She married William Riley Mims in Wilcox Co Alabama on 10 Nov. 1860. I show her birth date in Nov. 1838. She moved to Texas about 1900 with her son in law Andrew Jackson Watson and her daughter Joseph Ann Mims Watson. She is buried in Salado with another daughter Oceola Mims. Do you have any information that might help me find out Matha's ancestry. I have been told that her father might be James, but I have not been able in the past to find any proof. BD Brem

Hello - I have a book entitled "Place Names in Alabama" and according to this book Black Bluff is in Sumter County. The entry for Black Bluff also said to see "Whitfield". For Whitfield the entry says " Settlement with discontinued PO at 323155NO880525W in Sumter County. First known as Black Bluff, the translation of sakti 'bluff' and lusa 'black', the Indian name of the Tombigbee River bluff on which it is located. Renamed for the family of J.G. Whitfield, and early settler. PO est in 1885. Hope this helps.

"Blacks Bluff" in Wilcox County is 2 miles west of the intersection of State Road 41 and County Road 12, and about 11 miles SW of Camden. My GF L.D. Harrison was born there. > -----Original Message----- > From: BBrugh1019@aol.com [mailto:BBrugh1019@aol.com] > Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 7:09 PM > To: ALWILCOX-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [ALWILCOX-L] Where is/was location of Black's Bluff > > > Hello - I have a book entitled "Place Names in Alabama" and > according to this > book Black Bluff is in Sumter County. > > The entry for Black Bluff also said to see "Whitfield". > > For Whitfield the entry says " Settlement with discontinued PO at > 323155NO880525W in Sumter County.

Does anyone research Monroe and Wilcox county AA Richard Williams families? I am looking for information on Richard Williams and his family. Any info will be helpful. Richard had several brothers that I know of Gardner (bd 1850), Josh (bd unknown) and Clay (bd 1855) Richard Williams married Dolly Bradley during the last quarter of the 1800s and they had five children: (1) Zack Williams, born 1893 (2) Sadie Williams BD Unknown (3) Mary Williams BD unknown (4)Pearl Williams BD unknown (5) Adeline Williams (the youngest) born 1912. Richard's wife Dolly died in 1914 when Adeline was 2 years old. Adeline was raised by Dolly's sister. -Sadie, Pearl and Mary remained and lived their lives in Monroe county. -Zack moved north towards Wilcox county and was listed in the 1920 census as living in 'Black's Bluff'(?) with his wife Mollie Bragg/Williams and their five children William, Richard, Robert, Sallie and Zack Jr. Zack eventually moved to Coy in Wilcox county. Any help or links to help would be greatly appreciated. God bless you, Mike L.

I have seen Black's Bluff referred to in several censuses, does anyone know where it is or was located? Is there still a town there? Thanks for your help, Mike L.

Hi B.J. What is the specific number, if any, for the 1870 Magical Wilcox Map, that you speak of. Your 2nd paragraph indicates "Can" provide landowners..., "Can" identify owners of neighboring properities... Is the "Can" information listed, or purchased seperately?

I am interested in buying historical county maps. I do not have a large scale blueprint size printer.

Can provide landowner in 1870 by Township & Range. Can identify owners of neighboring properties and nearby geographical features. Also useful for African American researchers looking for names of former slaveowners and to coordinate with 1870 census. B.J.
