I am interested in Dovie Lee YOUNG JOHNSON HOLMES' ancestors: Dovie's
mother, Sarah Elizabeth JOHNSON 9b.1870) married a YOUNG (of which we have
no record); Sarah Elizabeth Johnson's parents were Allen P. JOHNSON
(apparently used his mother's maiden name?) (b. 1847) and Mary Elizabeth
HAYNES or HAYNOS; Allen P. JOHNSON's parents were William P. CHRISTAIN or
CHRISTIAN (m. 1852) and Sarah H. JOHNSON (b. 1825); Joel JOHNSON and Sarah
JOHNSON/JOHSON. I have been told the family moved from South Carolina to
Newnan, Geogia to Lincoln, Alabama.

I have an ancestor we are trying to tie into for possible furthering of
our direct lines. Her name is Rebecca HILL McCullough/McCulough. She was md
to Henry L. MCCULLOUGH and resided in Benton Co. at the time of her father's
death in 1854. We are trying to locate possible records on her children who
would have been of marrying ages. I find them in Morgan Co on the 1830
census, and then loose them until the mention in estate records of Henry
HILL Sr. in Morgan co. in 1854. Now to my request: Is there anyone anywhere
who has access to marriage records, estate indexes, land indexes,
etc....that might be willing to look up some of the stuff I have mentioned
above. I show on the 1830 census for Morgan county the following children's
ages: 1f b. 1810/1815, 1f b. 1815/1820, 1f b. 1815/1820, 1m b. 1815/1820, 1m
b. 1820/1825, 1m b. 1820/1825, 1f b 1820/1825, 1f b. 1825/1830. I know I am
requesting a lot, but we really would appreciate any lookups on the above.
If we just had some names that we could take into the 1850's census would be
most appreciated.I am assuming that since Henry isn't listed anywhere in the
1850 census in AL that he may have died. This is where the estate records
index would be of great value to us on him. And if we had a marriage record
after 1855 on Rebecca (HILL) McCullough would set us in a new direction for
our search. I am more than willing to pay for copies and postage on anything
I might be able to receive.
I know the STEPHENS lived on Chocolocco Road and that William M.
STEPHENS married Martha COBB there in 1861; then enlisted in the Confederacy
in the 51st AL Cavalry - Co. "D". William and Martha's children were: J. W.
and John Moses born in Calhoun Co. In 1866 they went to Falls County, TX
where the rest of their children were born. I think William's father was
Enoch STEPHENS, born in Campbell Co. KY. around 1820...coming first to
Talladega Co., AL and then to Calhoun Co..There were some Stephens in
Calhoun Co. when it was Benton Co. - John Richard STEPHENS and John
STEPHENS. Thank you, Jane Stephens Rhem
I am searching information on the parents of my grandmother. I am
looking for information on Joanna JOHNSON b Oct 7, 1871,d March 21, 1939,
who married John Thomas TANNER b July 4, 1869, d Feb 5, 1913, and had at
least six children, including Mabel TANNER b. May 11, 1899 ,in Anniston,
Calhoun Co, AL ; Winnie TANNER SEARCY, Ruth TANNER HOBBS; William TANNER,
Hosea TANNER and Johnny TANNER. I am told by a great aunt that "some of the
family came from NC" but I don't know who or where. They may have lived in
Hokes Bluff AL at some time. Joanna may be a descendent of Hosea (b SC abt
1808) and Lousia (b GA abt 1818) JOHNSON, but this is not confirmed. Mabel
TANNER married Clarence Victor SPRADLEY Oct 23, 1912 in Talladega CO, Al,
and later moved to Tuscaloosa. My father was the son of Mabel and Clarence
SPRADLEY and always said he was "part Creek Indian" but I was not concerned
about details of this until it was too late to ask him. Is it possible that
you have any information on this family?
I am researching my 3d great grandfather, Henry Allen COLEMAN, born in
Putnam County, Georgia in 1814 and his wife: Sarah Ann BARNES, b. 1807. He
appears to have left Cobb county, GA., sometime after 1850 ,where he lived a
number of years, and lived awhile in Benton county, sometime before 1856. He
then moved back to Georgia where he settled in Carroll county. I believe
this family had kinfolk in neighboring Alabama. For the most part, this
family had their residence in Cobb and Carroll county, GA. I would be most
interested to find out something of the Coleman family of your county in
Alabama since their might be a connection.
PRICE Family: Am researching the PRICEs in Benton/Calhoun Co., ca. 1850.
Know they were from Spartanburg SC, and father was Joseph. Need help with
family of son Robert who was d. by 1830 in ?SC when Joseph died. Would like
to contact others researching this elusive group. Contact: Janis Lindemann
