Greene County Alabama Queries 2004

GEWIN/GEUIN/GUIN/Help with Landowner Maps - 12/12/04  - I am a descendant of the Geuin, Gewin, Guin family of Greene Co. The name was spelled many different ways. My GGG-Grandfather was John Gewin who was married to Elizabeth Hicks-Gewin. Their children were Thomas, Christopher, Charlotte, Daniel and William H. Gewin. I recently found out they owned land and slaves in the Eutaw area. Is there access to any sort of historical map that shows who owned what pieces of land? This would have been in the 1840's and possibly 1830's. If you could let me know, I would greatly appreciate it. -- Rebecca Geuin-Pollard beekacoolrose@tds.net

COOK/COKE/GOODE -12/12/04  - While researching my ancestry on the Greene County website, I found that the name of my ancestor is misspelled in the marriage records. His name was Warren COOK, but it is spelled Coke in the records. He married rebecca GOODE 24 Jan 1833. I almost missed it due to the misspelling. I was fortunate to find it when I cross-referenced by searching for the GOODE name. I also had one question regarding info available. Is there any civil war info linked to this site? I could not find any and wanted to see if any relatives had served in units from Greene County. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- nichsl@cnonline.net

Help with a Forkland Historical Event -12/12/04  - I am seeking some genealogical information on a member of my family who lived in Forkland, Alabama in the 1920s. What happened while he was there was not spoken about very often at home, but the story goes that one day he got into a misunderstanding with another fellow and when it was over, my great-uncle had killed the other person. Our family always said it was in self defense. What I am attempting to do, is to find out exactly when the tragic event took place in the 1920s. With that date. I can go to the local papers and read up about the case and also possibly secure the actual trial transcript from the court. Would you have any idea as to where I can find out when this took place? Would this be in the local Forkland Police Department records - and would they still have such information or someplace else that you can suggest? Perhaps your organization maintains such records. I would surely appreciate any help and I thank you so very much. -- Dovid  dovid@edisonlitho.com

St. Clair/May - 12/12/04  - I am looking for the family name St. Clair. (Black) who were possibly slaves in the region until prior to the Civil War. I believe they were property passed along to Marena though I don't know her maiden name. She married a man named May but I'm not certain if it occured there or in Florida. Thank you for any help you can give.-- Uglios@aol.com

LEWIS -12/12/04  - Does anyone know anything more about the Moses LEWIS mentioned in the 2 excerpts seen below? Mentioned in 1823 in Greene County, Alabama, Jewish, from the north originally, father of Felix LEWIS and Martha LEWIS who married John LEWIS, son of William LEWIS. Please see the 2 earlier posts below, one from ALGREENE-D list and one from LEWIS Genforum. I am trying to see if there is any possibility that this Moses LEWIS connects in anyway with my Howell LEWIS who was born in the late 1700s in Granville County, North Carolina and had a son named Moses LEWIS who lived in Jones County, Mississippi along with several siblings including a brother named John LEWIS, born Abt. 1820, whom I descend from. This LEWIS married into the ELLZEY family as well as Howell LEWIS' wife and mother of the two men mentioned and the other children was Nancy COPELAND, daughter of Rachael TUCKER and Ripley COPELAND, Sr., (RS,) of North Carolina and Sumter Co., SC. -- Bellinda Myrick-Barnett Gmjerkins@aol.com
See the following information (2 posts immediately below):
"Does anyone have any information on the Lewis families found in Greene County, AL.? I am trying to find a link to my great-grandfather, Noland Richard Lewis, born 1848 in Al. His father was Richard Lewis. I find a Richard S. Lewis on Federal Land Grant Dec.1, 1829, Elizabeth Lewis Dec.1, 1823, and Moses Lewis on Nov. 26, 1823. If you have any information on or a link to these or any Lewis' in Greene County, I would truly appreciate your response and any information you can share."
And in a post from Jeanie NANCE on LEWIS Genforum:
4. Joel2 LEWIS (William1) birth date unknown. Joel died 1838 in Greene Co., AL. He married Martha LEWIS. Martha was the daughter of Moses LEWIS. Joel Lewis and his wife Martha moved to Greene Co., AL along with his mother Elizabeth.Joel was a private in the War of 1812. He was in Capt. Edward Clement's Co., 1st Regiment, SC State Troops., commanded by LTC Hugh Means. His service began on 1 October 1814, and he was discharged at Charleston on 7 May 1815. The record shows he resided in Spartanburg District. According to the Alabama Records, Greene Co., Vols. 218, 210, 180, and 242, Robert Burns was the administrator of Joel's estate. His heirs were Elizabeth L. Ragsdale (found in Pickens Co., AL in 1836) $185.01 Robert Burns (husband of his daughter Susan) $185.01 James Murphy $185.01 Martha Cockrell $185.01 His wife Martha (heir of Moses Lewis, deceased) $185.01 His son Felix G. Lewis (also an heir of Moses Lewis) $185.01. I do not think that Joel Lewis and Moses Lewis were related. I do know there was a prominent merchant in Greene County at that time, Moses Lewis, who was Jewish and a northerner, so it doesn't seem that there is kinship. Dated 14 November 1836, Book D, page 262. According to Mrs. Ophelia Morrow Phillips, Felix had a daughter named Susan, who married James Pinkney Phillips. This may be Susan's second marriage."

HORN -11/09/04  - I am researching my family's history. Perry Horn (my GGGrandfather) was a slave who who was born in Alabama between 1814 and 1820 (according to the 1870 &1880 census). He also had son named Perry Horn who was born in Alabama in 1858. In 1870 & 1880 they lived in Noxubee County Mississippi according to the census. I think after slavery ended, they left Alabama and went to Mississippi. I am trying to find out anything that I can, regarding Perry Horn and the Horn family that owned him as a slave. I think that J.H Horn or L.W. Horn were the slaveowners and that they both lived in Boligee Greene County Alabama. Perry Horn Jr., who lived into the 1900s related to relatives that they he was born at the tail end of slavery, and mentioned Eutaw Alabama as the place where he was born. J.H. Horn and L.W. Horn are the only two families in Greene County Alabama that owned slaves in 1860. Basically I'm looking for any documentation or guidance that would help me in my research. Thanks in advance. -- Michael Horne MHorne6702@aol.com

CHAMBERS/ WAITS -11/09/04  - I am searching for information on my great grandmother, Margaret Chambers. The only info I do have is that she married my great grandfather John Waits in Alabama. I believe this occurred around 1880-1884. Their daughter, my grandmother, Lela Waits was born about 1885. In 1900 according to the Federal Census John was already married to a woman named Massalee McCray and they had a one year old baby boy. They lived in Sumter County in the Gaston area. Lela was fifteen, her sisters were Margaret, age twelve and Hattie Bell age ten. I believe Margaret Chambers had died by 1897 or 1898 and she may have died in childbirth. We do not know because my grandmother Lela died when my dad was only about 6 or 7 years of age and he was the oldest living child. Lela married Jeff Gardner in Marengo County, AL in 1908. If anyone can help with this I would really appreciate it. I know there were Chambers in Greene County during this time but I do not know if that will help. Thank you for helping. --- Bobbie Terry   bobbieterry@earthlink.net

REYNOLDS/ RICKS -11/09/04  - Greene County Probate records show that Jefferson Reynolds, b 1812 SC, died July 15, 1853 and his wife, Lavinia (Ricks), b 1827 NC, died November 4, 1853 after giving birth to her third child, Jefferson Reynolds, JR., on August 6, 1853. Jefferson JR. died in Decemer of 1853. After the parents death, their plantation, the "Sands" with 455 acres of cultivated land, was put up for public auction in 1855. P. P. Barham was the buyer. The "Sands" was located about half way between the towns of Mt. Hebron and Clinton in Greene County, Allabama. I am loooking for the burial place of my gggrandparents. -- RLHSIDEWINDER@aol.com

SELLERS -11/09/04  - I am searching for the birth date of Margaret Jane Sellers. She was the last child of Elijah and Nancy Drummond Sellers. The Bealuh Baptist Church Annual Report of 1891 states that Janie Sellers, daughter of Elijah Sellers died on December 22, 1891. I find her in the 1880 census at age nine, she must have been born in 1871, but what date? If you have such information, please post. -- "Curtis Sellers" curtzz@comcast.net

LAUDERDALE -11/09/04  - I had an uncle living in Knoxville, Greene County, Alabama on March 7th 1847. He was a scholar and tutor...perhaps he was teaching in Knoxville during that year. I would like to document his stay in Knoxville. Does the town still exist and are records available on the white villagers from that point in time? He was William Francis Lauderdale. -- J.L. Falk jlfalk@comcast.net   Washington State

WILLIAMS -11/09/04  - On your web page you show: "WILLIAMS Family: Isaac Williams was a Captain in Col. Henry Dyer’s Regiment of the TN Militia during the Creek Indian War. He was severely wounded in the Battle of Talledega in November 1813 and served until 25 Dec 1813. He drew a disability pension from 1818 until his death in 1847. He lived in Bedford Co, TN in 1817, in Perry Co, AL in 1821, in Greensboro, Greene Co, AL in 1822, in Carroll Co, MS in 1839 and until his death before August 1847, in Choctaw Co, MS. In 1839, he said he move to Carroll Co, MS to live with his sons and sons-in-law."

I believe you'll find Isaac alive and well living with his son Paul WIlliams in the 1850 census for Choctaw County, Mississippi, listed as being 76 years of age. The date of 1847 that you quote I believe is merely the final date listed in his pension record as that was the date of his final move which was from Carroll County, Mississippi to then adjacent Choctaw County. (Montgomery County was formed from Choctaw and Carroll County in 1871, and thus today separates the two counties.) Isaac was most likely living with his son-in-law Nathan Pitman's family while in Carroll County. Nathan Pitman had married Isaac's daughter Hannah Williams.

Due to the lost of most records of Choctaw County to fires and an apparently lack of known extant tombstone for Isaac, the date of his exact date is unknown, but since his pension record makes no further reference to any additional moves and since his name is not listed in the 1860 census household of his son Paul Williams, or for that matter in the 1860 census for Choctaw County, it is presumed he died between 1850 and 1860. (He did have other kinsmen in the area too, but his name is not found listed in the census for these households either . Also, a former slave of the Williams family, a Mrs. Wilson, interviewed in the 1940's and again in the early 1950's (Mrs. Wilson lived to be 100 years old) had no recollection of Paul Williams' father still living, although she could remember the Union calvary in December of 1864 as they passed through on their raid to burn the mills at Bankston, Miss., ransacking the Williams family home, bundling up all of the family's china in the dinning room table cloth and then breaking dropping and breaking the pieces their route to Bankston. [This was the Union calvary of then Colonel Grierson, later General Grierson who went on after the war to command the famous "Buffalo Soldiers," whose force were making their second famous/infamous raid through the heart of the State of Mississippi, this time the target being the last remaining operating shoe factory in the South, shoes being the Civil War what ball bearings were to World War II. The Williams family got off well though, as the home their neighbors, Allen Mather Powell, Jr. and his mother Frances (Lindsey) Powell Garrett, was torched and burned to the ground. (The first raid of Colonel Grierson in 1863 is the raid dramatized, but highly fictionalized, in John Ford and John Wayne's classic, "The Horse Soldiers.")]   -- Jay Stein  jaystein@wireweb.net a great-great-great-greatgrandson of Captain Isaac Williams.

WARMACK -10/12/04  - Being a Nebraskan myself, I didn't know that Greensboro was once a part of Green County. My husband had an ancestor born there and I can't find a thing out about him. His name was Jesse Warmack and was born in 1854 in Greensboro. I would appreciate any information about any Warmacks living there in that year. Thank you. -- Phyllis Warmack  whiteduv36@aol.com

CAMERON/GRISSOM -10/12/04  - I am searching for my g-grandfather, Augustus/Gus Cameron (b. Oct 1874), who married (don't know when) Harriet/Hattie Grissom (b. Dec 1880 - 29 Jun 1949) Harriet is the daughter of Harvey Grissom (b. 1849) & Bettie Moneiee or Moneice (b. 1855) Family & relatives mentioned that Augustus had several brothers, Dank, Leroy & Walter, it's possible that there may be another brother, Charles. Harvey & Bettie's other children were Nancy (b. 1876), Percy (b. 1886) and Ruben (b. 1896). Percy was married possibly twice and Nancy once (Grant). In 1930, Percy, Nancy and her daughter, Mary (b. 1917), were living w/parents and Percy being the Head of Household. Gus & Hattie lived & married in Sumter County, AL (Gainesville) and had four children, 1) Sumner, Feb 1900;  2) William (Harvey) 1901; 3) D.B. (Dave )1903;  4) Lydia (Lida) 1906.  Info Searching For: i) Date or year of Augustus' death, ii) Parents of Augustus and other sibling info.  Hopefully, someone of the Cameron/Grissom line will read this and respond, where we can obtain/exchange information. This info was compiled from family & relatives, Census Records (1900, 1920, 1930) and the Death Certificate of Harriet (Grissom) Cameron.-- Ronald Robinson RonaldR@amdocs.com

DUNLAP Info -  09/05/04  - My husband and I are in the processing of buying a historic home in Eutaw. The home is on Mesopotamia Street and has a sign in the front yard that says "Dunlap-Parkins 1902." The Parkins were the last owners, and they'd been there since 1972. I'm trying to research the Dunlap half of the name. I've found lots of Dunlaps in Greene County via census records but have no idea which ones built my house. I'd also love to fill in the gaps. We haven't moved in yet (still trying to sell our house in Tuscaloosa), so I haven't been able to dig into the records at the courthouse ... if that's even what I'll need to do. Anyone know anything about the Dunlaps or this house? The previous owner said he heard it was once a duplex. Thanks. Kristin kmlwalters@bellsouth.net

Clinton, AL -  09/05/04  - My grandmother's family is from a little town in Green County called Clinton. The town barely exists anymore, and I've been trying to collect photographs of historic Clinton from the late 1800 s through the fire that destroyed most of the town in 1904 to present day when about 10 years ago, the Alabama DOT destroyed what was left of the town with a crazy change to the highway through town. What I have so far, which is not a whole lot, is located at http://www.ScottSmithOnline.com/interests/clinton . Does anyone have any materials or sources that might be of help? I looked in the Tuscaloosa Public Library and the Greene County Library but I already had everything that they had. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Scott Smith scott.a.smith@alumni.vanderbilt.edu

HARRIS/ FULGHUM - 08/22/04  - I just stumbled upon this website; it potentially could be very helpful for me and my family. My grandfather was named Homer Harris and he was born approximately in 1898. He was African-American and lived in Eutaw for several years before moving to Tuscaloosa. In or around 1916, he married a woman named Mary Fulghum. I have been told that Fulghum was a common surname in Eutaw then, and that the original Fulghums were from Scotland, emigrating to Alabama sometime in the 19th century. Mary's father was a man named Joe Fulghum and he would be my great-grandfather. I am looking for any information, however anecdotal, anyone might have on either the Harris or Fulghum family. Thanks very much; please send any respones to Donald.Cabell  bonhomme40@comcast.net 

BRENNER - 08/22/04  - My grandmother's maiden name was Minnie Brenner. She married a Louis Shankman and they lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee. My grandmother always spoke of her brother (or perhaps it was brothers she had in Forkland, Alabama). I am trying to find their names so I can find out who their fathers and mothers were and do my maternal family tree from there. I know one brother was Charles Brenner who later moved to Chattanooga to be near his sister, my grandmother. I have come across a source for Greene County Alabama information at an e-mail site of cbelle@mindspring.com, but she has a block on her address and will apparently not accept my e-mail, or least she hasn't answered in the two days I have tried to reach her. In any event, if anyone can in any way advise me.

William Minor WASHINGTON  - 07/18/04  - I am looking for any information on the Washington family in and around Greene Co, AL.

McDONALD - 07/18/04  - I am trying to find where Eli McDonald died and is buried. He lived in Eutaw, Greene County, Alabama in 1840 according the Census. His daughter, Elizabeth, married a Nevin Phares on 15 December 1831. Eli's son, James B., moved to Sockelena, Lauderdale County, Mississippi by 19 July 1860. There is no mention of the elder Eli following the 1840 Census. If anyone has any information, I would appreciate hearing from them, my email is Francis Pud pud@thegateway.net .  Thank you.

Dorrel and Susanna FORD - 07/18/04  - This family migrated from Fairfield County SC in 1834 to Alabama. Susanna died in childbirth September 27, 1834, in Greene County. By 1840, Dorrel and his children are living in Sumter County (in the part of the county that later became Choctaw County), and he has remarried. Bureau of Land Management Records indicate that Dorrel bought land in Greene County, so I believe that for a time he settled there, possibly along with his sister, Nancy Magdalene and her husband, John B. Brown. Dorrel's mother, Magdalen Love Ford accompanied the migration. I'm a descendant of Dorrel and Susanna; they are my fourth great-grandparents. I've always felt that Susanna's life has been a mystery in so many ways -- I've never been able to learn her maiden name, only that she was born in 1789, and that she died in Greene County. If there is any way to find her grave, I want to do so. Please, please help if you can.

First Family Page- 07/08/04  - I'm doing genealogical research on my forebearers who came to Greene County in the early 1800's.

GORE: Orphans Court Records - 07/08/04  - I noticed on the Greene Co., AL. website that the Orphans Court Records, Vol. B. was in the Probate Court Office at Eutaw, AL.

Eliazer (Eleazer) Gore, pgs. 7, 188, 272
Samuel Goore, pg. 103
There is an Eli Goon, pg. 199 that could be Gore, Goore, but I'm not sure.
I don't know if the two Gores are related and were heirs of the same person or just witnesses to someone else's probate. Does anyone know how I can locate these page transcripts. Do I write the courthouse? If so, could you supply me with their address? Any help would be appreciated.-- Norma Anderson NORMAWAND@aol.com   [Can someone help? -  Rod Bush Site Coordinator]
