The granddaughter of Colonel Ezekiel Abner POWELL, Alice Amanda PROPST (Mrs. Julian Eugene BUCHANAN), had considerable information in the early 20th century ABOUT the descendants of Benjamin and Ambrose POWELL of Virginia who settled in Fayette and Tuscaloosa Counties.  I have some of that information; therefore I would like to communicate with a descendant of these POWELL'S.

Does anyone know about the JOHNSON brothers that made the clay jugs in the last 1800's?  Curt JOHNSON was my husband's g-g-grandfather.  Looking for jugs if anyone knows where any are.  The trademark is the thumb print on the bottom of the jugs.  The old jug factory site is off highway 159 near the firetower.  There is also a JOHNSON family cemetary near the old jug factory.  Very grown up and difficult to get to.  None of the stones have names and there is a huge tree down in the cemetary.  Wondering if anyone knows who is buried here...I am sure it is some of the brothers who ran the jug factory.

I am trying to find out more about JOHN W. WOODS 1860 – 1902 married to IDA CURRY in about 1882.  He was my great grandfather and is buried in the Bankston Cemetery.  Because there are so many Woods in the county, I have not been able to identify his parents.  I did find a census record in Marion County with a John W Woods age 11 but that would put him born in 1859.  Any help would help.  ~ Thanks, John W Woods, son of John W Woods who was the son of JEPTHA WOODS who was the son of afore mentioned John W Woods

I am trying to find information on the BURNS, McCARVER, and BOBO families. 

For the BURNS I am looking for CHARLIE SENIOR BURNS and RUFUS BURNS.  CHARLIE SENIOR BURNS was married to BELZORA A. HUGHES but I think that was a second marriage.  I do not know who his first wife may have been. 

For McCARVER I am looking for ALFRED YANCEY McCARVER and JOHN McCARVER (his middle initial I think is W.).  ALFRED YANCEY McCARVER was married to MERTIE BOBO (I think Belle is her middle name).  JOHN McCARVER was married to SAMANTHA McCarver/PERKINS.  I have found eveidence that the name PERKINS comes from a second marriage to E.A. PERKINS.  I do not know her maiden name. 

For the BOBOs I am looking for the parents of MERTIE BOBO.  I have information that says her parents we JAMES BOBO and PAULINE MOUNTS.  Other information I have found says they were JAMES MADDOX BOBO and MARCISSA PAULINE MOORE.  If you have any data on these families or people please email me.  I will be glad to share with you any information I have also.

I am interested in the families buried in the Wade or Old Union or New River Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, Fayette Co., AL, surveyed by Fred McCaleb. 

Buried there is John H. WADE, born February 25, 1818, SC, died June 28, 1895, and his wife, Mary "Polly" RILEY, born about 1816; died --19 (probably 1919).  They first appeared on the 1860 US Census in Fayette Co., AL, with a large family, all children born in Georgia.  (Mary was identified as Polly RILEY in a son's death certificate.)  Their monuments read: J. H. WADE and M. S. WADE, showing she was born Jan 1811, older that her age on census records.  One son, buried there was John C. WADE, born Mar. 4, 1859; died Nov. 20, 1920.  Another grave shows an F. WADE - no dates. (They had a son named Francis M. and a daughter named Frances A. so it could be either one.)  Is anyone researching this family?  Son, John C. WADE appears to have been married more than once.  He married Emma P. HARRIS, born March 1874, who was with him on the 1900 Census in Fayette Co., AL.  By 1910, he was married to a widow, Tiller WYERS, the widow of Tommie BROWN, according to her daughter's death certifcate.  Neither of the two wives are buried with him.  Tiller Wyers-Brown-Wade and her daughter, who married a Stough, are buried in the North River Church of Christ Cemetery.  Was John previously married before these two? 

Also buried there is WILLIAM McCOLLUM, and his two wives, firstly, Mary PICKLE, born 1802; died Mar. 21, 1849 and second wife, Elizabeth Ardella HENDON, born April 6, 1814; died July 24, 1890.  She was a daughter of Johnson HENDON and Sarah SCOGGINS and at home on the 1850 census in Walker Co., AL.  It was her first marriage.  Her neice, Martha J. HENDON, married her stepson, Samuel McCOLLUM.  Fred McCaleb said in his survey that the Cemetery had been abandoned and he wanted to generate interest in descendents rehabiltating the cemetery.  It this still the case?  Hopefully by highlightng those buried with additional informaton, I can assist in that effort.  Elizabeth Ardella HENDON McCOLLUM was a sister to my Great Great Great Grandfather, William HENDON.  Martha J. HENDON who married SAMUEL McCOLLUM, is a daughter of their brother, Harris HENDON and Synthia DEAN of 1850 census in Lawrence Co., AL.  
 

1. HAROLD PANTER, at home in Fayette Co., AL, on 1900 census, shown born May 1900.  No further informaton.
2. SAMUEL RICHARD PANTER, born January 13, 1902 in Oklahoma; died May 17, 1927, age 25, in Borger, Hutchinson Co., TX according to his death certicate.  He was married but wife's maiden name was not listed.  What was her name and were there children? 

Did Lucious and Jerusha STUDDARD PANTER have additional childen?  What happened this couple?  I have been unable to locate them after the 1900 Census.
