Early Land Patents -12/02/01 - For those researching the
the early land patents in Greene County, Alabama, a valuable resource is the book GREENE
COUNTY ALABAMA RECORDS by Mrs. S.M. Marshall and Ms Elizabeth Wood Thomas, Willo
Publishing Company, Tuscaloosa, AL. The book has a list of about 1300 names of individuals
who received land patents in Greene County, AL between 1818 and 1832 that was compiled
from records in the courthouse at Eutaw, AL. Regards, Bill Pittman wcpittman@sprynet.com [Thanks, Bill.]
Circuit Court Records - 11/25/01 - I am
researching Ike (Isaac) Goldsmith. He lived for a time in New Orleans, LA and, according
to his 1892 New Orleans Voter Registration records, he was naturalized in Circuit Court,

naturalization record. If any
of you have access to the Circuit Court records for Greene County and can help me get a
copy of this record, I would be extremely grateful! I would be happy to reimburse you for
any out-of-pocket costs.-- "Ellen

THORNTON -11/25/01 - -I have been
looking all over, including the Greene County page for information on Mary Jane Thornton
who was born at Eutaw, Green County, in 1862. She is mentioned on the historical marker at
Bethel Baptist Church as the one who went to China as a missionary. She married George
Pleasant Bostick in China in 1891. He was also a missionary there. She died in China in
1903. There is another Mary Jane Thornton who was born in Greene County in the 1830s and
was married there in the 1850s and there has been some confusion between those Mary Janes,
He was reportedly killed in 1862 during the Civil War. I am looking for the parents, and
ancestors of the Mary Jane who was born in 1862. Do you know anyone who has access to an
1870 Greene County, AL census ? I haven't been able to find one on the internet. I have
traced one of my Thornton lines into Greene County, and I am looking for a link to Mary
Jane. -- "David Rusher" dmrrun@yahoo.com

MEDLIN/ COLVIN -10/21/01 - Does anyone have any information on the Colvins or Medlins who lived in Greene Co.,
Alabama in the 1830-1850 timeframe? I am particularly interested in the Medlins. I see
marriage records for Ferrell Medlin, Thomas Medlin and Williford Medlin, but I don't know
where they came from prior to their arrival in Greene Co. I think it was South Carolina. I
know Ferrell, my great great grandfather and some of the Colvins moved to Smith County,
Texas sometime prior to the Civil War. Do you know what the draw was from Alabama to
Texas? What brought people from South Carolina to Greene County in those days? - Kim

CHAMBERS/ McCRACKEN-10/07/01
- Someone recently sent me information from the new Greene County Heritage
book. The info sent to me states that Samuel Chambers married Elizabeth McCracken,
daughter of John McCracken, in SC. They had one child, James M. Chambers, and Elizabeth
died. Samuel then married Jane (Gamble) and settled in Greene Co., AL. They had several
children together. Samuel's burial place is unknown but may be Hebron because he
"willed" money or land to Hebron. A couple of items from the book conflict with
the information I have. From the estate of John McCracken, Samuel Chambers signed in
"right of his wife" Elizabeth. This was in the 1840s. So, it appears that she
was not deceased at that time. Also, Samuel Chambers died intestate, so he could not have
willed land or money to Hebron. I also have a pedigree chart from a granddaughter of James
M. Chambers in which she states that Elizabeth McCracken Chambers d. in 1841. Does anyone
know who submitted the information in the new Greene County book, or does anyone have any
ideas that might help explain the differences in the book information on
Chambers/McCracken and other research? Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Catherine

HEMPHILL-09/30/01 - - My great-great-grandfather William Hemphill received a land patent
in Greene County,Al. on October 1, 1835, and according to an account by Dr. Jacob Huggins,
"History of My Native Village" (Newbern) "In 1829, Messrs Harvey Tyndall
and Simpson Hemphill built the first store in this settlement,which was called by the
country people "Grab-All" thereby showing its character" It was built on
the east side of the Newbern-Uniontown road where the Prarie Rpad now intersects this
road." William came to Greene from Williamson County,Tennessee with his wife Jane
Cooper Hemphill, and she died when they lived there,but I have found no cemetery record.
James Simpson Hemphill who was a partner in the store in Newbern married Abigail Williams
in Alabama and had seven children born in Alabama before moving to Mississippi in the
early 1840s,but he never appeared on an Alabama census, and I have found no marriage
record. This is the toughest research I have encountered, and I will be grateful for any
help. Regards, Bill Pittman wcpittman@sprynet.com

New African American Site -09/23/01 - - Hello and thank you for being a Roots Web
County host for Greene County. I have a new link which I think would be appropriate for
inclusion in your County pages, under the census category and also in the African American
category if you have one or are planning to establish one. I have done partial
transcriptions of the 1860 slave census for your County, wherein I have transcribed the
names of the largest slaveholders in the County. I then have compiled surname matching
information for African Americans on the 1870 census, using the Heritage Quest African
Americans in the 1870 U.S. Federal Census CD. The resulting information is included in a
page I have established at Roots Web. My suggestion is that the link be named "Greene
County largest slaveholders from 1860 slave census schedules and surname matches for
African Americans on 1870 census". Your consideration and inclusion of this link will
be appreciated. Here is the link: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajac/algreene.htm

than he was married to Ellen F. Cameron, daughter of Nathaniel (probably Newt's cousin).

War Monuments- 07/28/01 - - Hi, I am Chuck James from Montgomery, Alabama. My family is from Cullman and many
from old Winston County. One little side track from my hobby into Genealogy, is I have
become interested in all the civil war items and points of interest across Alabama. I am
trying to make a list by county, and one day make a web site or little book. My biggest
thing I am looking for right now are Confederate or Civil War monuments that many counties
have. I have found 13 so far and most are in little court squares in front of old court
houses. In doing this I now understand why Confederate Memorial Day was a big event in
Alabama. I see where the history came from. I was wondering if there is any in Greene
County. I like to travel and make photos and details of what exist. I have a friend Mike
Rhodes who once told me that in the cemetery in Eutaw, he thought there was a monument.
Think his dad was once Chief of Police in Eutaw. Could you help me out and tell me what
exists in Greene County. Is there a memorial somewhere in the county? I would appreciate
your help. Thanks. -- Chuck James CRJBAMA@aol.com

Oak Hill/Mesopotamia Cemetery -
05/05/01- - I want to clear up some confusion for anyone searching
for ancestors in the Oak Hill Cemetery, as listed in Alabama Records of Greene County,
Book 12, part 1, Volume 14, pages 77-94, as compiled by Pauline Jones Gandrud. The
Oak Hill Cemetery, I have found, is in reality the Mesopotamia Cemetery within the town of
Eutaw, Greene County, AL. Yesterday I made a trip to Eutaw from Mississippi, and
after searching out in the country for Oak Hill Cemetery with directions many kind
souls had given me (including persons at the Courthouse), I had just about given up after
50 wasted miles. I stopped at the Mesopotamia Cemetery on Highway 14 going into Eutaw and
lo and behold there were the Thompsons, my ancestors.They had been listed in Oak Hill
Cemetery in the Gandrud volumes in the MS Archives. Evidently there was some name change
or mistake over the years with this. I just wanted everyone to know and learn from my
mistake. There just may be another Oak Hill Cemetery somewhere, but the listing in the
Alabama Records contains the names for person buried at the Mesopotamia Cemetery. Hope
this help someone. Sincerely, Dorothy O'Neill Djaneo@aol.com

KIRKLAND - 03/18/01- - Am looking for information on the
Kirkland families of Greene County, and how they might be linked. Moses B. Kirkland, b
1804 SC, was my GGGgrandfather, married Paulina Timms in Greene County in 1826. He moved
his family to Scott Co, Miss in 1857. Philemon Kirkland, b 1799 SC, lived in the Pleasant
Ridge area and may have been a brother to Moses. Elizabeth B. Kirkland, b 1794 SC, married
Burrel Huggins in Greene Co. in 1824, was the daughter of Isaac and Mary Kirkland; I
suspect that she was a sister to Moses and Philemon. Finally, Sophia Kirkland married
Andrew Brownlee in 1829 in Greene County and they are living near the Moses Kirklands in
1850, so I suspect that Sophia was a sister to Moses and Philemon as well. Are my
suspecions correct, and who might have more info on the orgins of this family in SC? --

New Civil War Book on 41st AL Inf. CSA - 02/13/01- -I am within two
weeks of completing a comprehensive history of the 41st Alabama Infantry Regt which fought
in the Civil War. Company E of that regt was comprised of recruits from Perry and Greene
Counties. The book is comprehensive (400+ pages of text and 250 pages of summarized war
records). I obtained a complete set of microfilm from the National Archives and
transcribed the war records of each soldier that served with the 41st. The story of the
regiment is told largely by the participants. I was able to amass over 350 letters written
by more than a dozen veterans. I supplemented these resources by books written by soldiers
who served within the same brigade at the 41st. I coupled this information with the
administrative documents found in the Official Records of the Rebellion and other first
hand sources. Unfortunately, I was never able to locate any correspondence written by
anyone from Company E. I expect to have the manuscript in the hands of a publisher by the
end of the month. The fact that I have researched and written the book is well known
in PIckens, Fayette and Tuscaloosa Counties. I may need your assistance to find contacts
in Greene and Perry Counties to alert folks interested in the war time history of their
ancestors. Contact Info follows William R. Morales, 290 Windsong Echo Drive, Henderson,

Errors on Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Church
Link - 02/13/01- - Glad to see this on
the site. But there are some serious typos, and several times it is stated that the church
is "near the Sipsey River." The line is supposed to read "on the
Mouth of Sipsey Road." The church stands several miles from Sipsey River. I just
don't want someone looking for the church to be seeking a church on the banks of the
Sipsey. Maybe I could email you the original file for you to post on the site. By the way,
General Joseph E. Johnston was never associated with the church to the best of my

Orleans Voter Registration rolls. No date of naturalization was included in this citation.
I have read that the courthouse in Greene County burned, which makes me wonder if these

find more info on William Alexander Scott who lived in Madison County and died in 1829 at
Maysville. He had a son Robert Scott who Scottsboro is named for and lived in Jackson
County. There are about 6 of us trying to trace this tree back, but have not been able to
find out William Alexander's father or mother's name. We do know that he came from
Scotland and served in the Revolutionary War. Married a Jane W. Thomas from Port Tobacco,
Maryland. That they lived in North Carolina before moving to Madison County. And it also,
seems the mother Jane Thomas just dropped off the face of the earth, too. I have searched
for both pieces of information, short of driving to Scottsboro and going through what
papers that Robert Scott left. They say he left some very good records. But I won't be
able to do that until sometime in the spring. There are dates that some of the people have
come with as William being born around 1729 or 1753. It's been pretty much confirmed the
died in 1829 in Madison County while living at Maysville. If anyone can help I would
appreciate it, and if there is anything you might need to have researched in the Augusta,
GA area just let me I will do what I can to help. Thank you. -- Stephen Scott sscott119@home.com

House in Eutaw - 01/01/01- - My name is Leigh
Ann Fleagle. My husband and I rode through Eutaw recently looking for a specific
house that is listed for sale. The home's address is 243 Wilson Avenue. Just wondered if
anyone might be able to help us with any information regarding this specific house?
Any history/background? I've always loved older homes and even had the
opportunity to tour quite a few in Eutaw several years ago on a Christmas Homes tour. We
found the house on the Historical Pres. website, .but there was no information
regarding the background of the house. We feel the house has great potential and we're
very interested in it and Eutaw. Any information you could provide would be greatly
appreciated!! Also, any information about the town itself and how newcomers are
received,etc. would be great. (We have 3 children ages 3,5, and 7 and we are currently
living in Birmingham.) I plan to call the Greene County Hist. Society to see if they
can tell us anything. Thank you for your help. -- Leigh Ann Fleagle (and Bill) LeighAnnFleagle@aol.com
