This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: TYNES PTOMEY MASON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DU.2ADE/495 Message Board Post: Looking for information on Alexander W. MASON, born about 1837, parents unknown, who married on 28 July 1864 in Wilcox County to Emily D. TYNES, born about 1845 in Wilcox County, daughter of Orlando J. TYNES and Rachel PTOMEY. I can't find either of them on the 1860 or 1870 census, although in 1850, Emily appears as a four-year-old girl in the household of her grandmother Mary PTOMEY. By 1880 the couple were living in Monroe County, Alabama, with four children: Margaret, Ida, Samuel, and Emily. I lose track of them after that. Any information on any of these people would be appreciated.
