I am looking for a Samantha WHITE b 1861. I have found her living with
an uncle August KIRBY in Calhoun County, AL, in the 1880 census. I have also
found a Jane WHITE b 1857 that I believe to be the sister of Samantha. Jane
was living with an uncle Joe KIRBY in Calhoun County in the 1870 census.
Samantha married my Great Grandfather Louis L. or Lewis M. VARNON and they
had their first child in 1881. I believe them to be married in Calhoun
County, AL sometime just before 1881. If you have any information on these
WHITEs or KIRBYs please exchange GEDCOM files with me.
I am looking for any information about a Algener S. DODD (b 1821 in SC)
wife, Sarah A. (WARD) b 1822 SC, lived in Benton Co. AL in 1847-1857. There
were other DODD families in the area in the 1850 census and he is listed as
#211 in Benton Co: A. S. DODD, 4 of the children (Sara E. b 1848, Taylor H.
b 1852, William E. b 1854, & Martha G b 1856) were born in Benton Co. AL.
Since there were other DODD families there at the same time could they be
related to any of them? They moved from the Atlanta GA area to AL and then
to Lauderdale Co MS in about 1857-58. I lost the family during the Civil War
except for my husband's g-grandfather, John Samuel DODD, that served in the
War and settled following the war in North Central MS. Thanks for anything
you might find.

Searching for a William W. DAVIS born c1800 or maybe earlier, perhaps in
S.C. or resided there before coming to Al. He married a Sarah FALK, 27 Dec
1836 in Lowndes Co. Al,..they are found in 1840 census in Benton/Calhoun Co.
with two boys born 1829 and 1832, perhaps William's sons by a first wife. By
the 1850 Calhoun Co. census, Sarah is alone with the boys, then in their
teens. A Sarah FALK is found in the 1830 census in Lowndes Co. with two male
children and two female children and living near another William DAVIS ..
the nearest William DAVIS household to the above has one son under the age
of five which could have been Ensley .. born 1829, the others were three
females age range of 10-15, 15-20 and 50-60. His age is near perfect with
the young son ... there are a total of four William DAVIS' in the Southern
Dist. of Lowndes Co. in 1830. There was also a Philip FALK who may have been
a brother(?) to Sarah ... the other son was eventually named Jasper Newton
when he was born in 1832. I don't have much to go on past this information,
any leads would be helpful...this family has almost no descendants, unless
William had siblings and anyone could help with suppplying that information.
Thank you.

Harrison YORK born abt 1840 in Benton County, Al. Moved to Texas about
1856. Family originally from Tennessee. Married Mary Ella RIDGEWAY in
Texas.. She was also born in Al but do not know where.
WALKER, John Ruben (Rubin) was my Grandfather. He was born 8 Sep 1851 in
Ragland, St Clair County, AL. He was married to an unnamed lady who bore him
two children namely William Charlie Earnest WALKER born 18 Aug 1875 and died
25 October 1883. Another child was Nora Ann Jennetta WALKER b 1 Mar 1875 and
died 29 Aug 1877.The only information I have came from an article in the
Alabama Christian Advocate, Birmingham, AL dated Jan,9,1884. It states that
Earnest WALKER, only son of J.R. and R.A. WALKER was born in Calhoun County,
AL. and died near Fairview, AL 25 Oct 1993. It goes on to say how sad to
think the sweet, merry voice and sunny face of eight summers will be heared
no more in the once happy home. His sweet spirit is now with those who are
happy forever, waiting and watching for the loved ones left behind. Ernest
seemed to be warned of his death. Before he was taken sick he seemed serious
and sad, and asked his grandma if she would not go down into the grave with
him. He thought his mama and sister were in Heaven and he seemed to be
satisfied. He suffered greatly but never murmured. May we all meet in
heaven. Aunt Fannie My problem is, Who is R.A. and her parents????? Who are
John Ruben's Parents? I would appreciate any infomation you may render. Jim
Walker
