I am so excited about this list. As many times as I've gone back to Decatur County in all my research, I feel like I know these people, even those which have no connection to my family--yet. My earliest known LUNSFORD is unk LUNSFORD d bet 1831-1835 m Nancy ? b abt 1796 NC. The known children are: Joseph H. b 1824 AL d 1880 m 1845 1st wife Barbara b 1827 d abt 1863. Children with Barbara: William Green John Wiley Margaret Nancy James N. Thomas Children with Emoline John C. Mary E. M.E. George W. James Parker Joshua C. b 1824/25 AL m Louisa S. MAYS b bet 1825-27 TN d 1907 TN Children: Mahlila L. Easter Catherine Abraham John Samuel William Phil Kisiah Caroline Miles C. Allan J. David A. M.G. Green b 1828 AL m Elizabeth RHOADES/RHODES b 1832 Children: Catherine M. George W. Nancy J. Barbara Hettie E. James R. George H. b 1831 AL m Rosa Ann Children: Richard William Kissy C. Eliza J. Nancy A. Joshua C. Hiram M. John H. I'm trying to find the name of the father of these 4 brothers who is married to Nancy. After the father's death Nancy married a LANE and had a child name Catherine b 1835. Any help or connection to this family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Trena
