I am searching for any information my grandfather John Wesley HELMS who was estranged from my family when I was just a small boy in the late 1930s. He was supposed to have had siblings including a half brother in the Elmore Co. area. The last reported sighting of him was in Prattville Ala. where it is believed that he died in the late 1960s. He was married to Josephine CULPEPPER and they produced twin boys Lester Horace HELMS (my father) and Chester Forace HELMS both born on sept 15 1904. They also had the following daughters Katherine, Ruby, Jeanette and Pearl. I believe my Aunt Jeanette used to visit an uncle in Elmore Co. and referred to him as uncle Estes. The reason for this query is I am trying to tie into my great grandfather who I believe to be Jefferson Davis HELMS

Researching AUSTIN family of Wetumpka, Elmore county. The Austins lived in Wetumpka in the early 1860s. For a short time around 1900, they were found living in Titus, Alabama in Coosa country and then back to Elmore county. Myg-g-grandmother was Emiline Austin. I do not know her husband's name. Emiline was born in Virginia according to the 1880 U.S. census. She was 42 yrs. old at the time. She also had live children in her household in 1880. Georgian, Martha and Sarah were the daughters, ages 13 , 3, and 1 yrs. old respectively. Emiline's son, TURNER AUSTIN, was my great-grandfather. He lived in Wetumpka most of his life. He married Angeline Littles-Chancelor from the Wetumpka area. Angenline's parents were Alfred Chancelor and Mandy Littles. According to family history, several of Emiline's children were the product of a relationship with a Mr. "SPRIGNER" (SPELLING ?) of the Wetumpka area. In fact, there is a person by that name living next door to the Austin family in the U.S. Census. Any information of these families would be helpful. Will also share information in return. Thanks.

Possible John Welden assisted in help rase the children. Big question under 1860 census: J.J. THORNTON in Coosa Co. has child born April 1860 Horatio M. THORNTON. Is Thomas M. Thornton the same person? Thomas M. died in 1901, possibly Elmore Co. His child Race M. THORNTON is actually Haratio M. THORNTON. Race (Horatio) was my grandfather. Race's son was Ratio THORNTON, my uncle. You can see the variations of the name in each generation. Problem is conflicting data from family members. Written census has not yet determined that Thomas M. THORNTON is Horatio M. THORNTON. Can not locate John Welden in census yet to see if children are the same.

I have recently recieved news, my BATCHELOR family were located in Elmore co, AL during the early 1800. There is a book, I have found, which tells of this family having a hotel. on page 68 in the Book History of Coosa County which was written in 1918 I find the following quote, "In 1836 hotels and boarding houses were in good supply and demand in Wetumpka because of the large amount of travel and River traffic on the Coosa River. Besides a Mr. HORTON and Mr. GALLAGHER, there were at different times and places catering to the public the ECHOLS, Mr. BATCHELOR, BLAKES, the SAXON's, POGUE, ROACH, Mrs. PHILLIPS and a Mrs. ROBERTS. The leading hotel after GALLAGHER's in Wetumpka was called the "Coosa Hall," until it's destrution by fire, then later it was called Riverside. The hotels and boarding houses described by Mr. Brewer in his book History of Coosa County, were located in Wetumpka, which was a part of Coosa County during those early times as Elmore County had not been founded yet. Also, the Community of Buyckville and Antioch Church which I am very familiar and have went to the Church many times myself and where the Book says my BATCHELORs lived is now in the Northern part of Elmore County.

William M PYLANT, my great-granduncle, married Frances J 'Fannie' ENSLEN 24 Nov 1874 in Elmore Co, AL. They had two sons and three daughters: Enslen, James Andrew, Bertha 'Bertie, and Willie Bell (don't know the third daughter's name). I have been trying for 30 years to find out what happened to William and his family. Recently received a letter written by James Andrew Pylant's widow, Alma G., back in the late 1960s. She lived in Montgomery, AL at the time but passed away in 1972 according to the Social Security Death Index. In the letter she states: "My husband was James Andrew Pylant, born Feb. 29, 1892, now deceased as is his brother and sisters. I gues he was born in Mt. Creek, Alabama as he said when he was two years old his mother and children left there and went to Meridian, Mississippi, as her brother's wife had died, so she took her five and went to keep house for him and his five. Remember not too long after my marriage, my husband received a telegram from a Mrs. Nellie Pylant saying his father had been killed crossing a railroad track (in horse and buggy)." William M. Pylant was enumerated with his sister's family in Milam Co, TX in the 1900 census - I think he was just visiting at the time. I get the impression that William and his wife, Frances, were separated or divorced at this time. Any information anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
