Hi Taylor cousins, Since reading this request I have been going through my 'pileing system' seeking this this info. Actually found it in a file!! This area is the Crow Creek Valley that runs north from Stevenson Alabama to the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, a distance of 20-30 miles. Several Stone Co families were here from the 1820's to the 50's. Edwards ,Taylors, and Summers families are here on both sides of the state line . The counties are Jackson Co Alabama, most all records prior to 1865 destroyed, and Franklin Co Tennessee, records have survived. However it was very difficult for the Tennessee residents of the Crow Creek Valley to make the steep ascent up the Cumberland plateau to the county seat at Winchester and much of their business was conducted in Alabama. There was a severe drought in the mid 1840's which allowed cholera to be spread by the creek, the communities water supply. After many deaths the survivors were ready to move on. 1840 Jackson Co Alabama males females-same pattern 0 0 0 0 0 0 0000 0 0 0 0-5 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-30 30-40 etc--- William Edwards 0111 0001-0000 1101 (father of John Edwards b.1812 Ky) Francis Taylor 1010 0100-1110 0100 Samuel Taylor 0010 100010-0020 10010 (father of Bethany Taylor Edwards, wife of John, b 1811Ky) John Taylor 1112 01-1010 01 (John and Lucinda -- ) 1850 Taney Co These research notes are from Ruth Asher and Mildred Roden.

Rich Edwards PS--I have no 'proof' that William Edwards and Samuel Taylor are the respective parents of John and Bethany Taylor Edwards (Bethany Taylor's maiden name is from the death certificate of her youngest son Francis Marion Edwards) What I do have is this; John and Bethany's son Samuel married Mary 'Polly' Dotson in Stone Co in 1856. They named a son John Thomas Edwards. John for Samuel's father and Thomas for Polly's father, Thomas Dotson. They named their next son William Samuel Edwards. I feel he was named for Samuel's grandfathers. William Edwards and Samuel Taylor, the two men who show up on the 1840 Jackson Co Al census.

Rich, Thanks so much for sharing your findings. I think we have all gone mad from trying..LOL. Samual Mack Taylor is interesting, because on the 1860 Barry , he is listed as Samual McTaylor. I have never known for certain whether he was a Taylor or a McTaylor, but assumed he was just plain Taylor. Bethany is the one listed as BarthIna on the 1860 census, Right?

Looking for dates of death of Verda Hagler and her husband. Do not know husbands name.

Cheri - I don't know about the area cemeteries, but it appears you are reading the map right. find the appropriate span for the Ranges & Townships, there will be 36 sections in each - and if you have found your # 8 in the cross hairs of R & T, you gotta presume the cemetery was covered by the Lake in the 1950s. I don't think they found them all & moved them.

I had an ancestor who bought a Land Patent and lived here: SESE 8 22-N 22-W No 5th PM The headings are as follows: Aliquot Part: SESE Section: 8 Township: 22-N Range: 22-W Fractional Section: No Meridian Name: 5th PM (PM=Principal Meridian) I grew up (and still live) in a city, so this Township and Range stuff is a little confusing. Someone tell me if I have this right. I am looking at a map that is a copy of the same one that is in the back of the "History of Stone County, Volume 1." I see in the Southeast Southeast corner (I was a Girl Scout, so I know a little something), I see T 22 N. Then at the bottom I see R22W. So if I follow the R22W line up to where it says T22N, I'm in an area that is covered by Table Rock Lake. I can see an 8 squeezed in at one section where the lake makes a V. There looks like a road that is shaped like scissor handles. (Does my description make any sense? I don't have a scanner :( Since my ancestor didn't own the land long before he died, he must have been buried near there (in 1873 or 1875). If so, then the nearest cemetary is Goodall.

Is anyone researching the Seneca Dedmon family? I would appreciate any help with this family! Thanks! Robin http://members.xoom.com/Robid/Page_1.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~biddle/settlers.htm

Dear List Members, For the past several months I have been busy tracking the Old Settlers on the 1860 Stone Co Census. As you know, I have tried every trick in the book , including the famous" Ancestor Auctions", to locate descendants of those who appeared on Stone County's first census. What I didn't tell you was.... that the results will soon be published in a book titled " The Old Settlers Of Stone County, A Study of the 1860 Census. Now that the book is nearing completion, I thought I would check ONE LAST TIME to see if any of you had an ancestor that should be included in the Old Settlers Census . Last minute additions and corrections are being made at this time. As soon as these are complete, the book will be sent to the printers! A few of the missing families are: Slaughter, Wilcon, Crenshaw, Gibbins, Staten, Whited, Webb, Trammel, Shumate, Stansberry. and many others who apparently moved away. If you have any information on these families, please Email me!! To Reserve your copy of The Old Settlers of Stone County, please Email Mindvoice@msn.com for more details. Thanks!! Robin http://members.xoom.com/Robid/Page_1.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~biddle/settlers.htm

Wondering if anyone is researching this family, married Stone County 25 Dec 1873? I know where Geroge came from...just curious where he went.

Robin, I will write in between. My references are "Lest We Forget" (LWF) by Thelma Kurtz and info from Steve Hull (he got it from Stan Bourdo of Curtice, OH). I'll abbreviate that one as SH.

No apology necessary. You need the prayer and we need the practice. Thanks for sharing and it's great to see so many on the list caring! I am going for a total knee replacement on my right knee tomorrow and the left knee will be replaced next Monday. I'll be praying for you while I wait for my surgery at 2:00. A quote from Oswald Chamber's that is encouraging me now..."When the saint begins to realize that God engineers circumstances, there will be no more whine, but only reckless abandon to Jesus." I believe firmly that God engineered your "accidental" sending to the list in order that we might have the privilege of praying for you. I'm praying for you to have peace (He knows your needs and your tomorrows, even every hair on your head!), for healing, for wisdom and skill for the doctors, and for safe travel to Scottsdale.

We have all heard of " let your fingers do the walking" well sometimes mine fall down alot. George W. Duckworth's wife should have been Lockhart not lockhard. Pierce TWP. Yes, the children names are different. Thank you Diane and Robin for all your help. I need all I can get. My family didn't fall from the sky or run for the gold. I think they just fell through the floor in an old rusty box. Those Pearson's and Duckworth's are something else!!!!!!!! Thanks to all, Donna L. Conley

Dont know if this will be of any help to you, (or anyone else ) but tonight, while cruising the USGenWeb Archive search engine @ Rootsweb, I ran accross the name McDUCKWORTH in the 1830 Putnam Co Indiana census index. It caught my attention, as I had seen the Duckworth families in my Stone Co research before. Regards, Jim Cochran

Donna, adding my two cents some more. Check on the 1870 Williams Twp and see if the Pearsons in Hh 618 belong to you. there is a William listed there , age 14..??? Let me know if he fit n dits???

Could this Mrs. Fannie Pierce have been a Roberts? I ask because of Caswell Roberts, of Christian Co. The Roberts folks were originally from North Carolina, which also happens to have a Caswell County. Jerry J.
