I could use some help with documenting parents for William T (Jan 1841 AL -
bef 1910) and Fannie Avery (Feb 1844 TX - 10 Aug 1928 AL) REYNOLDS CRAIG.
They had settled in Colbert County to raise their family, I believe it was

11 Dec 1928 LA). Any information on this family would be appreciated.

POLLARD - BROWN
From:  Robin Pollard, pollardgen@yahoo.com
Date:  April 3, 2006
     I am seeking any information on the POLLARD family
that resided in Tuscumbia (Colbert or Franklin
County):
          Name: George POLLARD
          Race: African American
          Born: 1849
His parents are listed on the 1880 census as born in
the state of Alabama.
           Wife: Susan Pollard (possibly maiden name "BROWN")
           Race: Cherokee
           Born: 1855
Her parents are listed on the 1880 census as born in
the state of Virginia.  However, Susan is listed as
"C" or "N."
     If anyone has any additional information or advice in
helping me unravel this mystery it would be greatly
appreciated.  If you have any information regarding
the settlement of Native Americans, the POLLARD family
and/or descendants in Tuscumbia, I could use that too.
     Best wishes and good luck to all who tirelessly search
the Internet for the key to their heritage!

GREENE - FERRELL
From: kiatsu404@peoplepc.com
Date: 14 Apr 2006
Edgar Grover Greene, b. Abt. 1921 met my grandmother Thelma Ferrell in Mobile, AL at a boarding house in the mid 1940's. When she became pregnant with his child, they moved in with her parents Milton and Ruth Ferrell of Sheffield (Colbert Co.), AL. Charlotte Ann Greene was born 1/20/1945, but father Edgar (nickname was Tony) left before she was born. He was never seen nor heard from again. Would love to see a picture of him or learn of his ancestry! Nothing is known much of him, except he said he was from NC. He was good-looking and had blond hair at the time. Any info appreciated!!

MCDONALD - WILLIAMS
From: Diane
Date: 5 Aug 2006
I am searching for information on Jonas McDonald, who married a Miss ???? Williams.  I know Jonas had at least two children, Thomas Huston (b:  8/25/1860 in Bear Creek, Marion Co., AL, d:  6/8/1928 in Tuscumbia, Colbert Co., AL) and James E. (b:  Apr. 1862 in Alabama, d:  1909 in McNairy or Hardeman Co., TN).  I suspect there may have been at least one other, a daughter named Maggie.  Jonas was reportedly born in Alabama.  If you have any information regarding any of these individuals, I would be most anxious to communicate with you.  I am the great, great granddaughter of Jonas McDonald.  It has taken me three years just to find out his name.  I look forward to hearing from someone else who may be searching for Jonas.

CARTER - LEMAY
From: Margaret Baldock
Date: 17 Dec 2006
     I'm looking for information on P.M. LeMay b. 1810 who married Mary/May F. Carter, daughter of Samuel Scott Carter.  They were married about 1877 probably in Lawrence Co.  Supposedly, P.M. LeMay died in Brickville, but have found nothing to verify that info.  I would like to know where he and May/Mary were buried.  (According to other researchers, P.M. was married numerous times.)
     In 1902, a P. M. LeMay was listed as a landowner in Colbert Co. just south of
Brick.
     I would appreciate any info you might be able to share with me.
Thanks,  Margaret
