I am searching for information about my grandfather, William Russell
THOMAS. He is found in the 1900 census for Alabama City (precinct 29),
Etowah County, Alabama. It is in Vol. 22, Enumeration district 165, Sheet
21, Line 16. His birth date is given as Dec., 1864. He is listed as having 4
daughters, Margaret (16), Martha (13), Jennie (11), Lottie (9) and 1 son,
Clyde O. (1). All 4 of his daughters have their occupation listed as spinner
in Cotton Mill. His first wife was apparently already deceased. He is found
in the 1910 census for Calhoun County, Alabama. His wife is listed as Sarah
F. (28). His children include daughter Mattie (23), son John L. (9),
daughter Abbie E. (7), and Oliver L. (2). The Mattie listed would seem to be
the one listed as Martha in the 1900 census. His age is given as 50, but
should have been 46. Abbie E. is probably the one called Edna by her younger
sisters. A comparison of the two census records indicates: [1] Margaret, age
16 in 1900 would be 26 by 1910 and had apparently moved out, [2] Martha, age
13 in 1900 would be the same as the 23 year old Mattie in 1910, [3] Jennie,
11 years old in 1900 was no longer with the family in 1910, [4] Lottia
(Lottie), 9 years old in 1900 was no longer with the family in 1910. [4]
Clyde O., 1 year old in 1900 was no longer with the family in 1910. The
names on the census records match the names relayed from my aunt.

I'm seeking any relavant information about the family of Henry Allen
COLEMAN, b. 1814 in Putnam co.GA. m. to Sarah Ann BARNES, b. 1807, who were
possible residents of Benton Co., AL. They had several children which
included 3 sons: James P. COLEMAN,b. abt 1836; William Allen COLEMAN, b.
1838, and John Henry COLEMAN, b. abt 1840. W.A. COLEMAN m. Cynthia RIGGS,who
had kin in Alabama also. They had two sons: John W. COLEMAN, b. 1859 in
Alabama, and William Forrest COLEMAN, b. 1864 in Carrollton, GA. I am also
seeking contact and information with descendants of ex-Confederates who went
to Honduras, Central America, following the War Between The States for the
purpose of escaping persecution and the Reconstruction era. Most of these
families returned to the states by the year 1869. There were approximately
30 families which included the surnames of: ALLEN, ANDERSON, BAILEY, BARNES,
COLEMAN, CUNNINGHAM, MITCHELL, MURPHY, NORRIS, NORREN, and WALLER. Many, if
not all of these families were probably Free Masons. I believe some of these
families may have been from Benton county and possibly had family
connections.
