Hi Freda, I'm wondering if any of these early Butler Co., AL Fails moved there from Lancaster Co., SC. As you know, I am trying to prove my Butler Co. Blacks migrated from Lancaster Co. and I have several BLACK-FAIL(e) marriages in my data. The following Fails were in Butler Co., AL by 1837. D. J. Fail Lewis Fail Bryan Fail Mrs. Alsey Fail Ozborn Fail William Fail Loverd Fail Raford Fail In 1856, add John, Leonard, and Jeremiah Faile. Anyone recognize any of them? Cheryll
