I am researching my ancesters and their names are: ELMORE-SHIRLEY-LANDRUM-SKELTON-RICHARDSON-SULLIVAN-WARD-BLOUNT-[MOORE ?]. These people lived in and around Washington and Choctaw and Elmore and Marengo Counties in Alabama from mid 1800's til now some came from Georgia and South Carolina and some came from east-central Mississippi and some moved on to New Boston, Bowie County, Texas, and down to Mobile, Alabama. Was told by my moma that her grandma a Landrum that she was full- Choctaw Indian, but have not been able to prove that as of yet. But my mom is 83 and very remembering with details, so I do not doubt her, as she says she went with her gran to help pick cotton in the fields on the Peavy Plantation and remembers the stories that her gran told her. Only confirmation that I get from cousins are [Black Dutch or Irish] once in a while one of the older generation will admit a little bit of Indian but nothing else. My mom does remember her moma's sister coming down and taking names for the BIA, sometime in the late 1950's. I do have dates of birth and death and marriages for the most part on the people that I have listed, just to much to write unless someone is interested. PLEASE REPLY TO DDRiche@aol.com.
