WALLIS/WALLACE
Date: 19 Mar 2004
From: Billie Molder Millsap
I'm researching the John and Jemima Wallis/Wallace line in Rock Creek, Colbert County. They first appeared in Frankling County in 1860 but must have been on the county line as they were moved into Colbert County by 1870 and were still there in 1880.
My line came from the eldest son of John and Jemima, Tyra. Born 1834 in Georgia.
The 1880 census shows the following children still living at home with Tyra Wallis and wife Mary:
Josephine,
Florence,
Ora,
Samuel,
Oscar,
Luther.
I found one reference to a Colbert County marriage record for a Tincy W. Wallis and Mrs. Mary Fulfort. I don't have the record and dont know if this is my family or not. I have seen Tyra spelled this way before.
I would welcome any information or comments.

HALSEY - NANCE - REEDER - JONES
From: Lee Freeman
Date: 19 May 2004
Seeking information on the connection between the family of William Henry Nance (1845-1903) and Orlando Halsey (c. 1839-aft. 1910), of Tuscumbia. One of W. H. Nance’s obituaries states that Orlando Halsey’s wife, Mary Katherine Jones (1841-1929), a daughter of James Oscar and Elizabeth Benham Jones was a sister of W. H. Nance, another says she was his niece. We know William Henry had two brothers, Lucas (c. 1848-1890) and John A. (b. ca. 1851), but do not have any information on a sister.

Mary Katherine had a sister, Patti Jones (c. 1869-aft. 1920), who married William Lee Reeder (c. 1865-1918) of Florence, and at least one brother, J. Oscar Jones brothers. According to her obit. Mary Katherine Jones Halsey was born in Marion County. In 1892, W. L.. Reeder worked for W. H. Nance, who was a cotton buyer. What is the relationship of Mary Katherine Jones Halsey and Patti Reeder to W. H. Nance? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Lee Freeman.
