Hi, Looking for Wiley Cates, his wife Nancy Sawyer Cates, his daughter Sally Jane Cates Watts, or her husband Richard Albert Watts--son of Ludwell P Watts and ??? (not Mary Myrick unless she had 2 of his children before the marriage that produced the rest!) Any info on any of these people would be helpful. Also, what records are available for Wilcox Co in the mid-1800s? (These people moved back and forth, apparently, from Monroe to Wilcox and back again...) Here's what I have: Wiley Cates b. 1834 Edgefield, SC, m. Nancy Sawyer ca 1853 (where?), both d. after 1872 in Wilcox or Monroe AL (would like to find marriage, land, deed, tax, church, death or burial info on these 2!) Sally Jane Cates born Pine Apple, AL 4/25/1858, m. ca 1878 to Richard A Watts in AL, d. in TX (can I get a photocopy from somewhere of her birth record? is there a marriage record for these 2 or any other info? church? occupation? land?) Richard Albert Watts b. 4/26/1857 Monroe Co, AL, m. and d. as above (again, are there records available to photocopy?) Ludwell P. Watts (not to be confused with the other 3 Ludwell Watts I've found!!) b. 4/24/1807 in GA, listed as unmarried in 1850 census, had children in 1854 and 4/1857 by an unknown mother, and married Mary Myrick in Monroe Co in August of that year. He died in 1877 in Pine Apple, I think. (who was the first mother?!? is there a female Watts death record or burial shortly after 4/26/1857? would there be an obit for 1877 for Ludwell which might mention his first wife or a birth record for Richard or his older brother Malcome McMillan Watts? Could she have been a McMillan? Are there church or marriage records for 1850-1854? Where is Ludwell buried? Is there an old cemetery in Pine Apple chock full of Watts?) Sorry for cross-postings--it seemed most efficient. Trying to fill in the many gaps on this line. Obviously my biggest mystery is the mother of Malcome and Richard Albert Watts. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm running out of ideas!!! I'd love to get photocopies of any extant records (will pay for copying and postage if anyone's going...) and photos of gravesites or churches attended or land once owned by any of these folks! Any help very much appreciated--trying to get as much together before holidays as I can for a family present! thanks! Cyndi in Baltimore
