I am looking for all descendents and ancestors of Henry Lewis RUTLEDGE
who moved to Calhoun County sometime after 1850 and died there after 1880.
One daughter married S. Matison PRUITT, and another married John Lumpkin
CURRY. Looking for any RUTLEDGE burial records and someone who has access to
old newpapers to check on some obitauries. Sincerely, Christine Harris
SPOON John W. -- I am looking for any information on this man. He was
supposed to have worked on the farm of Archibal DOWNING in Calhoun County -
Morrisville,Ala. when he was 15 yrs old that would have made it about 1850.
Any information on either one would be appreciated. Thank you
Looking for the burial place of John Wesley PARKER and wife Sivil PEAVY
Parker. John died 8 May 1876 and is buried at Piedmont, Calhoun County. I
have been unable to locate a grave. I do not have Sivil's date of death. Is
she buried next to her husband? They are found in the 1850 census in Benton
County, 1860 census in Calhoun County (Oakland), and 1870 census in Cleburne
County (Edwardsville). If anyone recognizes this couple, please contact me.
I orginally posted this query in LA and TX. This family was in Calhoun
Co., AL from 1850 to 1900. They were not here in 1910. Does anyone have any
information on the following MONK family? I am looking for M(arquis) D. L.
MONK, my gggrandfather. He was originally from Calhoun Co., AL. He was there
in 1900 according to the 1900 census. I don't know if he moved to LA or not.
I have part of a letter (dated 2-10-1963) addressed to my grandmother that
mentions the name Goodfer. Goodfer was a son by M. D. L.'s 2nd wife,
Louisenda (Lucinda). The letter also mentions Fred. Who is Fred?? It reads
that Goodfer would know more because Fred would go with grandpa. Was Fred
Goodfer's son and grandpa M. D. L.? Or was grandpa Goodfer? The letter has
the address of Goodfer as C. G. MONK, Calhoun, LA Where is Calhoun, LA????
It also states that Fred was killed in a car wreck on Thanksgiving Day. I do
not know who the letter is from, but at the top of the page it has an
address: Route 3, Box 238; Atlanta, Texas. Goodfer had a younger sister by
the name of Hattie. I am not sure as to whom the writer of the letter could
be. They refer to a picture that "Mother marked an x on the throat of the
one she thinks to be grandpa" According to the letter Fred would go with
Grandpa to the old Soldiers Reunions. M. D. L. was in the CSA. Does anyone
have any information on M. D. L. MONK (b. 6-1844), Louisenda MONK(b.
3-1866), Goodfer MONK(b. 5-1896), or Hattie MONK(b. 8-1897)? Thank you for
your help.

Seeking ancestry of my Bruton PETERS. He emigrated to Benton Co., AL
before 1840 with his father-in-law Robert W. PORTER's family. Does anyone
know of others who came with them. There was supposedly a gold rush in 1840
which caused many to come to Benton Co. but I do not know if my PETERS and
PORTERs were among this group. He may have been the son of Capt. Bruton
PETERS or Joseph PETERS [which??]. Both the latter were sons of William
PETERS who was born ca 1760 in Craven Co., TN. William served in the Rev.
War. and removed to eastern Tennessee (when?). This family's descendants can
be found in Bledsoe, Rhea, Grainger, McMinn and Cumberland Co., TN. Joseph
married Nancy HUTCHINSON and Bruton married a daughter of Abraham HILL.
William is said to have married Henrietta RIDGEWAY, but I question this and
ask for help here. Below are the *known* children of my Bruton PETERS.
Bruton PETERS, b. ca. 1809 in TN; m. Margaret PORTER, daughter of Robert W.
PORTER and Jane DODSON, ca 1831 in TN; d. ca 1865 in Burleson Co., TX. He

Would like any information on the ancestry of my grandfather, Fredrick
MINTZ who married MaeBelle GRIFFIN and had 6 children: Carl, Ralph,
Clarence, Jewel, Eva, Julia Ruth.
I am trying to help my grandmother locate info on her grandfather. Lou
Mildred RAPER, born Oct. 10, 1922, in Dooly Co., Georgia. The daughter of
Louis J. RAPER and Louella WILLIAMS. The Rapers had lived in Cave Springs,
GA and Louis was stationed at the army base in Anniston. They met and
married in Floyd Co., Ga in 1918. Then moved to south Georgia. Louella who
was rasied using the last name, BENNETT was the daughter of Emily Lou SMITH
and Jim WILLIAMS. No marriage record can be found for Emily or Jim but they
lived in Calhoun Co., before they married. They were together for only a
short time then separated. Hardly anything is known about Jim. The only and
last time Louella ever saw her father was shortly after she married in 1918.
Jim supposedly lived way atop Sand Mountain. He was still living then. He
offered them some of his land to farm but Emily refused to allow it and so
they never saw one another again. Emily later remarried William G. BENNETT
and they had two daughters, Bell who married and Bessie who rmeained a
spinster. Emily raised Louella as a BENNETT and on her mariage certificate
it says BENNETT. After William died she was briefly married to James LANGLEY
of Calhoun CO. She died in Calhoun Co and is buried at Goshen Cemetary. My
grandmother, Mildred and I have tried desperately to find info on her
grandfather Jim with no luck. If anyone can help please let me know.

I am searching for information on the Willis See WINGO family. Willis
was a Methodist preacher, born 1811 in Spartanburg Co. SC. He married
Elizabeth ? abt 1822. Children: Thomas b. 1823; Alberry b. 1824; Peter b.
1826; William b. 1828; Mary Elizabeth b. 1832; Jasper b. 1834; Esther Ann b.
1836; Sarah b. 1838; John Fletcher b. 1841; Willis b. 1842; Rosy b. 1845;
Benjamin Dunckin b. 1849. I found a reference in Benton (Calhoun) Co. to
"Rev. Wingo" buying land and a ground breaking near Anniston - I believe in
1850s. I've since misplaced the note, so can't refer back to it. The family
left the area after the Civil War (1867) and moved to Red River Co. TX where
he continued as a Methodist Circuit rider until his death in 1871. They lost
contact with older sons during Civil War, though I think at least one
followed them on to TX. I'm told that there are many Wingos still in area -
does anyone recognize an ancestor? Would love to know more about older
brothers - whether they ever returned from the War, who they married. If you
know anything about this family or the church mentioned in article, please
write! We'll compare notes, I have a great of material on the Wingo family
and will share.

This B.B. TRENT was in Alabama Militia in Creek War of 1836, a volunteer

Searching for information regarding the John R. KAHILL family found in
1860 Calhoun County Census, pg #540. I would like any information that is
available. My Grandfather John Jackson CAHILL was b 7/22/1871. His mother,
Francis Elizabeth Teal CAHILL is found in the 1870 US Census for Dekalb
Co,Al. living in the household with her sister, Rebecca Teal GRIFFIN and
Rebecca's small one Will. This found on pg 878. On the same page are others
of her family, mainly her mother, Frances TEAL and a brother, Zachariah
TEAL. In the 1880 US Census, Francis Elizabeth CAHILL and her son, my
grandfather, were living in Marshall Co.,AL. with another brother,Wm. J. J.
TEAL and his family. I have accepted that my grandfather could have been
illegimate, but why would Francis Elizabeth Teal CAHILL use the CAHILL name
at census taken June 14, 1870 when John Jackson CAHILL wasn't born until
July 22, 1871? There is a difference of 13 months there. My grandfathers
death certificate lists Alee CAHILL as his father. Could he be either James
A. M. KAHILL or the younger male, Elisha A. KAHILL listed in the Calhoun
Co.,Al. 1860 Census? I have no parents, aunts, uncles or anyone else to help
me solve this family question and hope there will be someone in Calhoun Co.
who could help. Patricia Camp Mullis, Lakeland, Florida
