What are the business hours for the courthouse? [email protected]

I would also like to see a list of men serving in the Spanish American War. Older family members say my grandfather was in service during this war. Would like to get a military marker for him before his last two children pass away. Would like to get a copy of his record for them.

I am seaching for a list of men who served in the Spanish American War of 1898 in Cuba. Is there a site on the internet that I could find this information? I did find a list of men from North Carolina complete with dates leaving and returning. I am searching for a 'REEP', first name is possibly John . He was the father of my husband's grandmother. She remembers that she was 10 years old when he left and told her not to worry he would return very soon. Any help will be appreciated. Jo

Researching an Andrew Jackson Bowen born March 30, 1819 in Georgia. He was marrried around 1840 to 1845. He had two children by the names of James W. Bowen and Lucinda Bowen. He later married Mary Lee Hayes in Carroll County, Georgia in 1853. Andrew and Mary had thirteen children together. They later moved to Clay County, Alabama. They moved around quite a bit between Georgia and Alabama. It does appear that some of the children were born in Carroll County, Georgia and the rest in Clay County, Alabama near the city of Lineville. He later died on April 10, 1877 right before his move back to Georgia. If anyone is researching this family line please contact me about your research and I will share information with you. Thank you, Cory Bowen.
