Has anyone surveyed the HARRIS Cemetery? I visited
this small family cemetery with my father,
Carter Bartly Strickland, several years ago, where he showed me his cousin's
grave. The cemetery was on a flat of a hill near Walter Wilkerson's place.
We took a road in front of Pat Wilkerson's place - west. I am not even sure
whether it was in Walker or Fayette Co., AL, but I think it was in Kansas,
Walker County. The graves were:
The Rev. T. M. Harris
September 29, 1833
September 26, 1902
Adeline Harris (w/o of the Rev. T. M. Harris)
June 14, 1849
April 1922
Celia E. Harris (Celia Emaline Aldridge, s/o Parks Minard Harris)
September 2, 1896
March 29, 1925
Note: Celia Emanline Aldridge was a daughter of James Willis Aldridge and
Frances Elizabeth Strickland. She died in childbirth with the birth of her
daughter, Edna Elmmaline Harris, who was adopted by Griffith Houston
Johnson, her mother's second cousin.
I think I recall that there was a child of Celia's buried there:
Royce Harris
February 27, 1920
January 7, 1922
There were no more graves than those four.
Parks Minard Harris, remarried and is buried with second wife somewhere
else. He had other children by first wife, Celia; e.i., Albert, Lorene, and
Cleburn Harris; but I have no further information on them or where they were
buried.

I'm Looking for a Mourning Stewart. She may have been
married to someone
else before marriage to my GG Grandfather William Barefield.
On her
tombstone in Pontotoc County, MS, it states Mourning Stewart
Barefield, so
she was either a Stewart by a previous marriage, or this is her
Maiden name.
She was born 05-31-1826 in Georgia and died in Pontotoc, MS. Her
husband
William Barefield was born 02-10-1815 in Hancock County GA. Any help
on
Mourning would be appreciated

Searching for info. regarding a Robert WILLIAMS wife Sarah shown
as follows on Walker Co. 1850 Census:
WILLIAMS, Robert 50 NC farmer
Sarah 49 SC
Stephen 22 SC
Elizabeth 18 SC
Nancy 16 SC
Harriet 13 SC
Samantha 6 Al
I'm wondering for this Robert could have been a twin brother of
my John H. Williams, who was also found on this census. Another
connection of mine was listed there also..William J. Myers
and wife Sarah.
September Queries:
Wonder if anyone on the list has any info on William A.
Goad and Martha J. Burkett who married in Walker County 27 APR 1879; were
listed on the 1880 census with William as age 20 and Martha age 24. Then I
cant find them again until 1910 when I find Martha, supposedly married 3
times and still a Goad. She appears to be farming the same farm they were on
in 1880.
William is a brother to my great grandmother Elsie Goad Tidwell, and a son
of William A. Goad and Elizabeth Jackson. Elizabeth was widowed before 1870
and then she married Wm C Romine before 1880. Other siblings were
Adelaide(or Adeline?), David and Richard.

have copies available and the cost is $50.00 which includes mailing
fees. You may send your payment to me, Betty Myers Stocks at 614
Ray Ave., Troy, Alabama 36081 and I will be glad to mail you a copy.

My great grandparents were married in 1914
in (Nauvoo) Walker, AL. My great grandfather was Robert Leroy Garrett
born 18 April 1891 and died 1 Feb 1956. My great grandmother was
Alice Beasley born 30 May 1894 and died 11 March 1976. They were
buried at the Old Bethel Graveyard. I know nothing of their lives
together except for the births of their four daughters. I would be very
interested also in knowing about the Beasley side of the family. Are
there any relatives out there who can update me. THANK YOU!!!

This past weekend, P J Gossett interviewed
several people from around Natural Bridge on the history of the "ghost"
town Glen Mary. It was located about 3 miles north of Natural Bridge in
Winston County. (Here are notes from him)....
You can go to:
http://wcgs.ala.nu and click on the
"Towns & Communities" link. When that page comes up, click on "Glen
Mary." If you have any stories pertaining to this town, please let me
know so I can include it. Secondly, on the Towns & Communities page,
you will see a whole bunch of other small communities. If you know of
anything about these places, please e-mail it to me. I think it would
be nice to start a short history on all these places.
One more thing. If you wish to keep
receiving updates from me (at various times) on the website, please
subscribe to the Winston County Mailing List. That's where I will be
directing the messages. If you are not on the list, send an e-mail to
[email protected]
with the single word subscribe in the message subject and body.
Once you do this, you can send out messages to everyone by sending your
message to

DAVIDSON BLACKWELL & SOPHIA HENRY and
JAMES MADISON ABSOLOM DAVIS & NANCY HENRY
DAVIDSON BLACKWELL and SOPHIA HENRY were
married in Carroll Co., GA on 29 May 1832. He was born 7 Oct 1809;
Elbert Co., GA, d. 22 Jun 1887, Walker Co., AL, mother named, NANCY,
father uncertain; but, born in NC. The family might have moved and
lived in SC before moving to Georgia.
A lead on the parents of SOPHIA HENRY, who
was born 1807; d. 29 Mar 1880, Walker Co., AL.
She is believed by some to be the daughter
of JAMES ALEXANDER HENRY and SOPHIA REAGAN, who were married on 23 Jun
1793 in Rockingham Co., NC, according to one source. I am trying to
find out the original source of this information.
JAMES ALEXANDER HENRY was shown as ALEXANDER
HENRY on the 1820 US Census in Elbert Co., GA, page 170; and died before
the 1830 US Census.
The 1820 US Census in that County also
showned:
JOHN HENRY, page 169 (married 25 Jan 1818
to POLLY SKINNER
WILLIAM HENRY, page 169 (married 20 Mar 1817
5o CUCIE SKINNER
CHARLES HENRY, page 176
BENJAMIN HENRY, page 187
The 1830 census shows the following HENRY
heads of household in Elbert Co., GA.
WILLIAM HENRY 30-40
ALEXANDER HENRY (JR.) 20-30
DANIEL N. HENRY
SARAH HENRY
There were records showing WILLIAM HENRY was
in and out of Carroll Co., GA, where SOPHIA married.
Source of her parents had provided the
addition of SOPHIA as a child of JAMES ALEXANDER HENRY and SOPHIA REAGAN
to an acquaintance of mine in Huntsville, who was descended from
SOPHIA's sister, NANCY HENRY, who had married about 1819 to JAMES
MADISON ABSOLOM DAVIS (b. 1796-1798).
Was he the JAMES DAVIS on the 1850 census in
Walker Co., AL in District 12?
