Hi Nelda! Here is what I have on your Caleb... Caleb arrived in Alabama circa 1808 according to the book by Rev. T.H. Ball, Clarke County Alabama, 976.1 B 21. The book indicates "he passed through the Indian War, was in Fort Sinquefield when it was attacked by the Indians." Caleb died of congestive fever per Clarke County, Alabama Records 1814-1885 976.1245 B237c. His obituary in the Clarke County Democrat says he was a native of North Carolina and moved to the Alabama Territory in 1809. It said he took part in the war against the British and the Indians. Per Rev. Ball's book, Caleb was a member of Grove Division, of Macon Lodge, and of the Suggsville Chapter. He was a prominent member also of Horeb Baptist Church. The family at first settled east of Basset's Creek, but soon removed to the west side. You've indicated Caleb's wife was Sarah Ann, but I have also have Sally Ann Short, b. 1787 in Georgia and d. about 1860 Clarke County, Alabama. They married July 17, 1807 in Oglethorpe county. Also, I have daughter Tallisha down as Talitha or Tallisha... Is it Tallisha for sure? I have her marrying James Baugh of Virginia on July 26, 1831 in Clarke County, Al., and kids Elizabeth, James and Elijah Sidney. Regards, John A.

I've been told that Caleb and Sarah Ann Moncrief had the following children: Isaac, Tallisha, Nancy, Sarah (that married John Daniel my ggg-grandparents), Mary Elizabeth*, Joseph*, Martha, Angeline*, Rebecca*, Elizabeth*, James*, and Elijah*. The ones I've starred are with C. Moncrief and Sarah on the 1850 Clarke Co., AL census. From the census I have approximate date/place of birth. I found the marriages of Nancy, Mary Elizabeth, Joseph, Martha and Angeline in a book at the Mobile Public Library on Clarke Co., AL marriages. John Daniel and Sarah are listed on the 1850 Clarke Co. with their children, among whom is Alabama Eugenia Daniel, my gg-grandmother. I've picked up lots of information from a cousin, a few other bits and pieces from others on the internet, but I'm seeking my own verification also. I'd be delighted with whatever you are willing to share. I'll be retiring very soon and will be able to spend more time on this.
