I am looking for information on Henry Mitchell
Gay, born 03/09/1812
in Fayette Co., Ala. Also his son, Thomas M. Gay,
born 12/14/1851 in Ala. I am actually trying to tie into my
family
history Thomas's daughter, Ladora (Dora) Gay, born about 1873.
I'd like to find out where she was born. I know they moved to
Texas.
They were in Palo Pinto Co, TX 1880 on the census. And she was
later in
Red River Co in the 1900's.
Any information any one could supply would be greatly appreciated.

SAMUEL STUDDARD, 1850
US Census, Fayette Co., AL, and his older brother,
ANDREW STUDDARD, 1850 US Census, Laurens District, SC, married sisters
so
all of their children were double first cousins, almost genetically the
same as brothers and sisters.
SAMUEL married MALTA GORDON,
referred to as "MARTHA" in
his War
of 1812 Pension request. ANDREW married MARY GORDON, "POLLY".
SAMUEL and ANDREW were the sons of DAVID STUDDARD and MARTHA ANSLEY (also
spelled ENDSLEY).
MALTA and MARY were the daughters of ADAM GORDON and
MARY RICHEY.
These marriages were confirmed in a court case in South
Carolina, where MARY RICHEY GORDON and her married children were
involved
in a lawsuit. MALTA's name was clearly stated several times in
the
lawsuit with this spelling. MALTA and MARY had a sister, NELLY,
and
brother's, JAMES and JOHN GORDON. NELLY married JOSIAH S. BURNS.
Who did JAMES and JOHN GORDON marry? They had left the district
at the
time of the lawsuit.
Both SAMUEL and MALTA and ANDREW and MARY named a son, ADAM STUDDARD,
SAMUEL's son, not surviving to adulthood and ANDREW's son,
surving to adulthood, but dying fairly young.
Has anyone figured who the parents of ADAM GORDON might be? I
have his
land records and am beginning to suspect that he was not related to the
JOHN GORDON family, but might have been related to a NATHANIEL GORDON
who
lived nearby. How? MARY RICHEY was born in Northern
Ireland, the
daughter of JOHN RICHEY and wife, MARGARET, immigrants from Northern
Ireland. I have posted JOHN RICHEY's will on the Laurens Co., SC,
USGenWeb page. He died shortly after the family came to America.

I am looking for any connections to my
Great-Grandfather, James A. SMITH.
He was born 23 February 1812 either in
Georgia or South Carolina. He married twice, first to Mahulda SIMS by
whom he had five children. This marriage was in Franklin County,
GA, 2
January 1840. After Mahulda's death he married my maternal
grandmother Melissa RILEY
by whom he had 5 children also -- one son being my
Grandfather, Alfred Matthew "Mack"
SMITH, who was born 28 July
1857.
James lived in Franklin, Jackson, Hall and Polk counties in Georgia
before coming to Fayette County between 1857-1860. James was in
the home
guard militia and may have died of an injury received in the war.
He died
24 March 1865.
I'd like to know if there are connections with other SMITH families
from Fayette County?
