I, too, have been reading the posts. I had thought that my ancestor was the only one with no ancestors. I now see that we are not alone. I have posted several times, but maybe there are new people out there, so I'll try again. I am looking for a family for: Jefferson Davis CRAWFORD, born February 1862 in Alabama. (I have not found him in 1870 or 1880 census.) He married Zilpha Adeline "Addie" BEAVERS on September 4, 1884 in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. They moved to Lamar County, Texas prior to 1889. I would also like to know about this family from 1880, does anyone recognize? In Lee County, Alabama Census - 1880: J. W. Crawford 64 SC head M.E. Crawford 46 NC wife J.D. Crawford 18 Ga son Fannie Crawford 8 Ga dau W.H. Hill 46 Ga son-in-law Mary Hill 21 Ga daughter Emily 9 Ala g-dau James 2 Ala g-son William 11 Ga g-son J.D. is the right age to be my Jefferson Davis. This census says he was born in Georgia. The 1900 census says he was born in Alabama. We all know how accurate all census records are! Can anyone put names with the above initials? Thanks, Winnie Tidwell
