HARTSELLE
I am George Hartselle, Jr. from Decatur, Ala. My grandfather was E.I. Hartselle. I am related to some of the Hartsell's presently living in Hartselle, although we spell our names differently. I would be interested to know if my ancestors are the same people given credit for the town's name? I understand the aforementioned Hartselle family moved to Morgan County from North Carolina. From where in Europe did they originally imigrate.

HENSLEY
In our family, there is an interesting tale:When the Union soldiers were marching into E.Tenn,my gr-gr-grfather,(Robert?)Hensley,a tavern owner in Loudon, fled with his wife&children down to Decatur AL.The story went that they were able to cross the Tenn River while it was FROZEN OVER -this cannot have happened too many times!

WILSON/CROSBY
I have a Sarah Wilson shown on page 433 on the 1860 Morgan Co, AL census in the township of Valhermoso. Is Valhermoso located near Decatur? I found a Sarah Crosby who bought land in AL and the land office was given as Elba, with the base line given as St.Stephens. Is Elba located in Morgan County? What does it mean......base line: St. Stephens? If anyone has access to the 1860 Federal Census for Morgan Co, I sure would appreciate a look up to see if a Sarah Wilson and an Abram or Abe Wilson can be found and also if an S. E. or Sarah Crosby and H. H. Crosby can be found. Abraham/Abram/Abe may possibly be in this Crosby household by 1860. I hope to find all of these people in Morgan County or at least in a neighboring county for the year of 1860. Can anyone help me?

GARRISON" was by maiden name "Margery HARDIN"? National Archives land records and other documents 'Indicate' that "Margery" and "Magara" were the 'same person'. As I decended from that Couple as My gg-Grandparents, my people had passed the knowlege down that Margery was the daughter of Augustine Blackburn HARDIN, Sr., of Maury County, Tennessee. James and "Magara" or "Margery" reared a family of Seven children in Meltonsville, Marshall County, Alabama (1850-1860 Census) and one of their Sons was my G-Grandfather in Leon County, Texas. ANY Help greatly appreciated.-
