I checked to see if any of the Alabama censuses were online as a follow-up to the 1840's marriages there that Darryl Pearce submitted (http://home.rmci.net/adamewa/usa_marr.htm). Found one county available. Interesting birthplaces. Any ideas anyone? Is the elder Surgenor below James of Richmond Co., NC? This is a good project you started, Tina.
