Deborah has sent me a Thurman Rucker marriage in Madison Co Al. John Thurman md Nancy Rucker on Sept 9, 1819. This John Thurman was supposedly the son of Jesse and Mary Montgomery Thurman. Susan Pate (bn 1805 and considered the sister of my Eliz Ann Pate bn 1800(( married 1819 Madison Co AL to Henderson Clarke bn1797 KY))- both girls bn TN)is married Madison Co to Zach Rucker. Andrew Jackson Pate bn Madison Co, Al to Stephen Pate and Jane Milliken, marries Martha Susan Thurman (first husband Bell)in Dyer Co Tn. Eliz Ann Pate Clark's grandson (I think it was Ferinand F. S. Dawson-son of Col William Dawson )marries a Thurman girl after the civil war. At this point all are Cumberland Presbyterian. Can anyone tell me where in Madison Co the Thurmans, Ruckers, Dawsons (in the 1840s Col Billy took his young fiance off to Madison Co to marry-ran off they said), Clarkes, and Pates may have married?? Church, ministers book or is there a cemetery to the north of Huntsville wher! e these families are intermingled??? Thanks Meredith
