Hello from Madison County, AL. I have looked up some of the info on William and Elizabeth. I am afraid that I have more questions than I do answers, but hope some of it will help. Elizabeth Bell, daughter of Isham Bell, was one of the wives of William Sandage/Sandidge/Sandridge. Madison County, AL Probate records Book 22, page 481 - Petition of Ewing B. Bell as guardian of Wesley Sandidge, infant of Elizabeth Sandidge deceased, who was a daughter of Isham Bell, deceased and both of whom died before Francis Bell, who died in September 1857, having made his will. Said Isham was a son of said Frances who bequeathed 1/8 of his estate to the children and grandchildren of said Isham Bell deceased who are: Vincent S. Bell, Martha wife of James Seaton, Adaline Bell, Cassendra Bell. - Children of Isham Bell, of age, and residing in Madison County, AL. Several questions -- Do you know when Elizabeth Bell Sandidge died? When did he marry Elizabeth Sisk. Why was William not appointed the guardian of his own son Wesley? Which wife, of William, was the mother of William and Charity Sandidge? Who was the Margaret Sandage age 33, domestic, and children Jane age 7 and Mary age 5 that were listed in the household of Jno. Cisk (sic) Sisk in the 1860 census of Madison County, AL? They were listed in the P. O. of New Market in household 187/185, 9 June 1860. Wm Sandage age38, (he did not die in 1858), Elizabeth age 38, domestic, Jno 8, Wm 7, and Charity 3 were in the same PO, household 231/229, 11 Jun 1860. Are the two ladies, Margaret and Elizabeth, the same person just visiting with John Sisk? Are Jane and Mary Sandidge also children of William? Both Margaret and Elizabeth were born in TN. Elizabeth Sandridge age 25 is listed in the household of William Sandridge in the 1850 Madison County, AL Census. Elizabeth age 38, a Domestic, is listed in the household of William Sandage in the 1860 Madison County, AL Census. I do not have a copy of the 1870 census of Madison County, AL to see if these children are all listed in one family. Wesley M. age 15, laborer, born in Alabama is living in the household of Ewing B. Bell in the 1860 Madison County, AL Census. I would like your comments/ideas on this family. This is not the family that my husband is a descendant of. He descends from Nathan, through Nimrod, and then Frances MARION Sandridge of Franklin County, TN and Marshall County, AL.
