Thanks, everyone. If I have failed to say "thank you" to any letter sent me, it is because I sometimes forget when I get in a "working mode". I'm still searching for both yours and my ancestors in surrounding counties. So far, I've found neither but haven't looked at Bibb yet and will do so here shortly. I'm hoping that quite a few more of them will turn up in the B will book. I know I haven't yet posted my own names researching so will do so now, in case any of you come across them in your searches. My main area of research is Ashley which is my paternal family lines. I'm also looking for Cox, Adams, Thompson, Shelton, Manning, Brinson, Williams, Raines, Marshall, Bowens, Cook, Dallas, Tison (Tyson), McGirt (yes, the infamous one!), Boyd, Carswell, Rogers, and Peeples. From that point down in descendency, there are several hundred more surnames as the Ashley men tended to have large families, predominately girls, most of whom married. Jane
