I am looking for a map to an old cemetery that sits on the north side of Ft.
McClellan. I have not been there in decades and the maps I have found of the
area are no help. Also I have access to an aerial photo of Ft. McClellan (via
Google Earth) but cannot see any cemeteries. Also, there has been a lot of
change in the constructions, layout, etc., of Ft. McClellan since I was there.
Do you have any idea where I can get a map? Thanks for your time: L. D. Smith

I am researching two separate issues. First, I need some clarification on
exactly where Rabbittown is, since I also have references to Winston County,
quite a distance from Calhoun County. Second, I am trying to determine the
correct ancestor line for my wife's grandfather, Raymond Monroe MURRAY Sr., but
have two to pick from. In an 1880 Federal Census, I have an R.G. MURRAY (wife
Nancy) with children Aner J., W.H., John H, Ana C., Mary L., and James MURRAY. I
also have a 1990 Census record with an R.A. MURRAY (Robert Augustus MURRAY is
the GGGrandfather's name I have from other records.) His wife is also Nancy, but
with children James J., Robert A, Sarah L., and Martha S. MURRAY. These children
also appear in a Family Group Record from the Mormons with other, older
children. In both cases, ages of the parents would be about the same (Robert A.
born 1842, died 1917 in Calhoun; Nancy B. JENNINGS born 1850, died 1925 in
Calhoun.)The probable GGrandfather, James (born 1880 in Calhoun), is also nearly
the same in each case. I've also found one reference to three MURRAY brothers
who migrated to Rabbittown in 1842, but can find nothing about it when I go to
the source. I have a Henry, John, and Andrew Jackson MURRAY in my records who
could have moved from South Carolina about that time, but no further
confirmation on them, either. Any assistance or information about the MURRAYs
and Rabbittown would be greatly appreciated. At the very least, I'd like to know
which line I actually need to follow. Thank you very much for any time and
energy expended trying to help me clarify (solve?) what I now have. Michael

RICE/KING: I am researchng the RICE line in Benton/Calhoun County. My great
grandfather was Ervin Foster RICE and he married Louisa Jane KING. they resided
in the Nance's Creek area where he enlisted in the Civil War at White Plains. I
am trying to find his parents. Census records say he was born in NC and she was
born in SC. I have 1860 Census records but was wondering if any RICE were in
Benton County prior to 1860. Larry Williams, agrimissions@hotmail.com

HYATT - I am trying to research my great great grandfather. He is believed to
have drowned in Calhoun County, Georgia. Unconfirmed year is around 1831. We
believe his first name may be John and possible middle initial C. Family
rhetoric is that his death was never solved to be either homicide or accidental,
but of course the family thought it was suspicious. He is said to have been
found face down in a river "near Calhoun, Georgia". His son, Joseph Larkin
Hyatt, is my great grandfather.

Am looking for any information regarding the death and burial site of MARY JANE

She was supposed to live in Calhoun County, but when she died on March 28, 1913

County filled out the papers and through family history we think she was buried
in Eastaboga, AL. Since it has been almost 100 years, no one in family living
can recall any more info than this. She is my GGGrandmother and need this info
