Do you know if any of the Tuttle family came to Texas? My grandfather Lawson Sneed came from Jackson Co., Fl to Texas between 1880 and 1883.. His came with the Green family and married their daughter Fannie in 1883. When Lawson dies she moved home with her mother. After she dies when the boys are still young, several of them are sent to live the Tuttle family homes. I thought there might be a connection. Thanks for listening, Connie Mary Tuttle <mmtuttle@verizon.net> wrote: I don't know that my husband's people came in through Florida. To my knowledge, it was the Carolinas and then into Tennessee and Kentucky. I would have to check with his aunt who has worked on his family for many years. Are these people who have grown up with deep roots in the area or people who have moved in recently? If you want to email me names privately, I will forward the information on to his aunt and have her get in touch with you. She does not "do" Internet. My mother's people (Crowson/Crawson, Odom, Stanley, Collins, Kirkland, and Robbirds/Roberts et al) were the ones who came into Florida. They came in through South Carolina, Mississippi, and Alabama into Georgia and then Florida. Most of the time, they seem to move between Decatur County, Georgia and the Jackson/Gadsden County, Florida area. I know that most of the Crowson family is buried in Shady Grove Cemetery. When I lived in Florida (third grade....a few decades ago!), I remember going to the cemetery. If it had been three years later, I would have had a camera and notebook out and would have listened more closely to the conversations around me. I would have especially have taken the time to interview my great grandfather, Andrew Augustus Collins. He would have been able to give me chapter and verse on all the questions I have now! I am also on the lookout for any information on my grandfather's first wife. He is listed as Ellis Crowser in the groom (should be Crowson). Her name was Sally Kelley. This was around 1919. . I am not yet retired from teaching full time, and teach part time for a local college branch during the summer. So, I really do not have the extended time I would need to come down and do the research first hand (i.e. interviews, etc.). Many of my mother's older relatives have since passed away and she did not know many of the children very well, if at all. So, like many of us, I am trying to use these listserves to pull a few bricks out of the wall and hope that some day, the right brick comes out, my head stops hurting (!) and I find someone in the family with whom to connect. In spite of my head hurting from hitting the brick walls, I do enjoy meeting the wonderful people who are so helpful even though their heads are also hurting from banging against their own section of "The Genealogy Wall"!
