Joseph F. OLIVER, 29, b. AL was listed in the 1860 census as a teacher. Listed also was Martha, 26, b. AL; Georgiana, 5; Catherine, 18; and Frances, 8. Joseph was most likely the son of John and Elizabeth (Phelps) OLIVER; Catherine and Frances were orphans of Joseph and Mary Oliver of Conecuh. In Sept. 1863, Martha Ann OLIVER, widow of Joseph (who was in Co. H, 23rd AL Inf.) filed a claim for a pension. Does anyone know what became of Martha and Georgiana OLIVER?

county unknown.  Parents unknown.  Married to Temperance, b. GA., by 1840 and 
was living in Conecuh Co., AL.  He was listed as merchant in census.  By 
1850, still in Conecuh Co., AL, their children were:  Albert D., Charles 
Loyd, James A., William J., Jacob Chansely,  and Martha E.  Am looking for 
Temperance's surname and parents, and Chauncey's parents.  Also looking for

The family had moved to Sabine Co., TX by 1860, and on to Hill Co., TX in the 
late 1870's.  Chauncey died and was buried in Hill Co.  Temperance died 
sometime before 1870.  Any information will be appreciated.  Will be happy to

Richard WAGSTER was on the 1818 tax list of Conecuh Co.  According to 
Cahaba Land Office records, he and William WAGSTER bought land on 3 Dec 
1821.  According to AL pension records, William WAGSTER was from Edgefield 
Dist., SC and his pension was in Butler Co.  I need any info on this 
surname.  I'm trying to make a connection to my WAGNON line who settled in 
Monroe Co.  Any help appreciated.

Hello, I am searching for information on George Lufette OLIVER b.Jan 
17,1870 . I have been led to believe he may have come to MS from Conecuh 
County AL. I have listed this on several queries but have not had a 
whole lot of luck, only one response and we aren't able to make a 
definite connection.  Even his death certificate lists his parents as 
unknown. Can you suggest any places I might look?  He was married to 
Ocie Leola DEMPSEY b. Nov 10, 1872 in AL  .  Her parents were J.B. 
DEMPSEY and Catherine HORN, they have proven to be just as elusive. Any 
help would be greatly appreciated, my grandma and great-aunt say their 
names  were "grandma and grandpa"!!!
