McEarl
 
Searching for more information on John McEARL, born 1813 S.C. who appeared in 1840 census of Walker Co., Alabama.   He was listed as:  John McEREL,  1 male 20-30, 1 male under 5  and 1 female 20-30.  John's wife was Elizabeth N.A.V. (maiden name unknown) and the son under age 5 was Jackson J.    Cannot find this family prior to 1840 census of Walker Co., Ala.   By 1850 they were in Hancock Co, Ala;  1860 Winston Co, Ala;  1870 Prentiss Co., Mississippi and 1880 Garland Co., Arkansas.  Family History says Elizabeth N.A. V. , born abt. 1824 or 1827 in Alabama was full blood Indian.   Any help appreciated.

I am searching for information about Byron Adams and his wife ?Laura? Brown Adams. The 1910 Census of Turpentine (Walker County) Alabama lists Byron's age as 27 and Laura's age as 17. They had been married for three years. He was born in Georgia (I THINK in Franklin County) and she was born in Alabama. Byron was one of nine or more children with two sets of alliterative names (Byron, Myron, etc.) 

 
Please contact me if you have any pertinent information. Thank you.
