WESTMORELAND
Date: Mon, 5 Jul 1999 15:13:51 -0500
From: "Edgar D. Byler, III" edby3@netease.net
William WESTMORELAND was born in North Carolina "above New Bern" in either 1774/75 and was the youngest son and child of John and Ann "Nancy" Lenoir Westmoreland. William married about 1800 in Spartenburg Co., SC to his first? wife whose name is unknown. (could she have been an ALBERTY, daughter of Moses ALBERTY????). William moved to Laurens Co., SC in 1818 and then to Catawba Co., AL in 1821/2 where he was appointed a Captain in the Alabama militia by the Gov. Israel Pickens, husband of his first cousin, Martha Lenoir Pickens.
It appears that William WESTMORELAND was in Lauderdale Co., Alabama by the late fall of 1822 as his daughter?, Catherine, b. 1804, married her first husband Elias HARRIS in Lauderdale Co., AL on 4 December 1822. Would like to find proof of children. Here's what I have.
Probable children of William WESTMORELAND (1774/5-1854)
1. Amelia WESTMORELAND, b. ca. 1802, Spartenburg Co.,Sc, d. bef. 1870 Searcy Co.,AR, married ca. 1820-22 to Mordicai THORNTON.
2. Catherine WESTMORELAND, b. ca. 1804, Spartenburg Co., Sc, d. after 1880, Wayne Co., TN, m1) 4 December 1822, Lauderdale Co., AL to Elias HARRIS, m. 2) 18 Nov 1831, Lauderdale Co., AL to Gillum H. WALKER; m. 3) 23 Oct 1835 Lauderdale Co.,AL to Abner GALLION.
3. Alberty WESTMORELAND, b. 1806/7 SC, m. 1) Wayne Co., TN by 1830 to Mary WILSON, m. 2) Independence Co., AR 11 July 1849 to Martha TERRELL, m. 3)? bef. 1860 to Sarah ______. Died poss. in Yell Co., AR after 1870.
4. Moses WESTMORELAND, b. 1810 (could poss. be same as no. 3)
5. girl, name unknown, b. ca. 1810-1815.
6. Nancy WESTMORELAND, b. 4 Dec 1814/7, d. 14 Sep 1891/5, Wayne Co., TN, married 23 Apr 1831 Lauderdale Co., AL to Denson WILSON (brother to Mary WILSON who married Alberty WESTMORELAND)
7. girl, name unknown, b. ca. 1820-23 (this could poss. be Milly HOUSE who became William's second wife?)
8. Jesse WESTMORELAND -no other info.
William WESTMORELAND's first? wife died between 1830 and 1833 and on 12 Aug 1833, Lauderdale Co., AL William married Milly HOUSE who was born 1821 (per 1850 Wayne Co., TN census, but more likely 1801 or 1811).
William sold his farm in Lauderdale Co., AL in 1836 and moved to Wayne Co.,TN where he died we think in 1854. He is probably buried in the old Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery on TN Wy 227 between Cypress Inn, TN and Railroad Church.

HILL - THIGPEN
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 17:04:45 EDT
From: JerryDWebb@aol.com
The book, "A Walk Through The Past," by William L. McDonald refers to an Augustus Henry HILL on page 96. His son Fred A. HILL owned a service station and Augustus was a plumber in Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama. Henry Augustus HILL (note the name reversal) was my ggrandfather. He married Martha Jane THIGPEN  in 1885 and they moved to Texas in the mid 1890s. He was a farmer.
A second reference is of a John HILL who owned a cotton gin in Florence, Lauderdale County. I am in the cotton gin business and naturally had an immediate interest of the possibility of my early Hills being in the same business. Does any one know anything of these Hills or their families?    Thanks.         Jerry Webb/Lubbock, Texas

I am interested in talking with anyone who knows about this family or who is researching this same line. James and Sally's youngest son George Moore JACKSON is my link.

PERRYMAN

From:  MarsaH@aol.com
My Great Grandmother was Martha L. PERRYMAN b. 1857 in Lamar County Texas (probably near Garretts Bluff). Martha first married H.M FURGUESON in 1873,  then my great Grandfather, Charles A. MILLIGAN in 1879.
Her father was Andrew Jackson PERRYMAN, born 1814 in Florence, Lauderdale County Alabama. At least one wife was W.G. GILLEY. He died in 1862 in Lamar County, Tx. He had two brothers, Austin (Astin) and Alexander PERRYMAN presumably born in AL.
Andrew Jackson PERRYMAN donated the land for the Perryman Cemetery in Lamar County, which is now known as Mt Vernon Cemetery.
Any help in locating Andrew Jackson PERRYMAN's parents will be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Marsa HIGHTOWER

I am searching for information concerning Susan Matilda "Sis" TRAMMEL THOMAS from Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama. She married James Jefferson "JJ" THOMAS of Morgan County, Alabama. Sis Thomas had a sister who married a Mr. Brown. Sis and JJ's children were: Fannie Mae THOMAS FLACK, John Randolph THOMAS, Alice THOMAS HELMS, Onnie THOMAS FORRESTER, and Gus THOMAS. Children were born and lived their lives in Morgan County, Alabama. I do not have exact dates at this time, but will post them here soon. Sis was born in about 1860. I am most desiring her parents and siblings names and info. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.      Thank you! Phyllis Owen :-)
