George W. Strother
born about 1814 in S.C., married Sarah Griffin in Tuscalooca Co.,
AL, 28 Aug 1839. They lived in Fayette Co. the rest of their
lives. They were on the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 Census.
He liked to be called Wash. or Washington. He died Aug 1897 at
the home of his daughter Martha (Mrs. J. A.) Jenkins. I found the
info of his death in the book 150 YESTERYEARS on page 44. It was
a newspaper article from the Sentinel Aug. 6, 1887. They had at
least 12 children. peggystrother@hotmail.com

9-1-1872 and died on 6-1-1921. He was married to Lilie Nadell Banks. They married
in 1899, but I do not know where.
Are you in Alabama? I am in central Georgia. Hoping to hear
from you. Ann Pendley Moore

George D. Brown is on
the 1850 Fayette Co. census age 45, wagon maker; wife Eliza; sons
Eranmus, Samuel, daughter Laura. He died late 1855 or early
1856. He had 320 acres of land in Fayette and it took form 1856
until 1867 to settle the estate. Eliza married a man name West; Eranmus moved to
Mississippi; I think Samuel ran away at age 14; do not know about
Laura. George also did business in Lowends co. Miss. Does
anyone have information on this family?
Emma Sun, 24 Jan 1999
I
am looking up McCoy's before the year of 1855. My great great
grandfather was Robert McCoy,
born in 1835. I can't find anything on his parents. I did
find a Robert McCoy, age 12, with parents being John McCoy, 64, and
Mary, 45, in the Al. census. But nothing after that. I have
information on him being married to Louisa from Al. in 1855.
Their children are Sylvester, Nancy Evelyn, Van, James Erwin, Naomi,
Lorenzo, Amanda Catherine and Jerry. I would very much like any
information you may have. Thanks .

VPolzin@aol.com Mon, 25 Jan 1999
Ebb and Malissia Snider were married around the turn of
the century, 1898-1900. They are my great grand parents.
Supposedly they are both buried in Berry (do not know which
church). Their children were Sarah Josephine, Richmond, Lettie,
Maudie and Howard. Malissa had a sister named Minnie Shirley (Sherley). My
grandmother always said her mother died Dec 24, 1914, at 32 when my
grandmother was six. I have found them in the 1900 and 1910
census for Tuscaloosa but it is my understanding that at least Malissia
was from Berry. Any help is appreciated.

Gwen Boucher Fri, 29 Jan 1999
Thomas
BOUCHER, aka Butcher, is believed to
have been my husband's ggg grandfather, but no real proof has been
found. He came to Alabama from Tennessee around 1819, acquiring
land in Dallas County. In 1827 he bought land in Fayette Co. and,
according to one source, died in 1830. Court house fires seem to
plague all the counties where these Bouchers have lived, making
research very frustrating. Is there anyone out there who has any
knowledge of this line?

along the line.
