Alexander and Sarah (Moore) McClanahan came from Botetourt Co., VA, settled in Jefferson Co., TN, then by 1818 were in Morgan Co., AL. I have found that Anna McClanahan married Alfred McGlathery, 1841, Morgan Co., AL, but I have yet to determine who Anna's parents were. I think she must have been a grand-daughter of Alexander and Sarah, but I have not been able to find which of Alexander and Sarah's sons was Anna's father. By process of elimination I've found that Anna's father must have been either Alexander and Sarah's son John or William, but have not been able to determine which. Does anyone know Anna's parentage?

SELF/GORE
SELF, Malcoln Thomas Self, born December 20, 1848 in Wilkes Co., Ga.; died January 1, 1916 in Eva, Morgan Co., Alabama. He was the son of John Drury Self (born March 4, 1818 in Edgefield Co., SC,died January 11, 1884 in County Line, Douglas co., Ga.) and Louisa Grimsley (born 1821 in Lincoln Co., Ga. and died May 20. 1856 in Wilkes Co.,Ga.) Malcolm married Charlotte L. Gore on September 20, 1870 in Douglas Co., Ga. I don't know what year they moved to Morgan Co., Al. His mother had 9 children before her death. One of these was my g-g- grandmother Lucinda Helen Self who married Zolpha Mozley and moved to Nixon Chapel, Marshall Co., Al. in 1904. When my cousin Doug Wilson came to Alabama looking for relatives, he said that he found descendents in Morgan Co. who pointed him to Cindy and her family. There is also two families of Strawns(Vinnie and Dosie married brothers. They are J.D.'s children by his second wife, Leah W. Watson (Clark) who he married November 20, 1856. J.D. was a Baptist Minister, a blacksmith, and a buggy maker. Another brother, Charles Hawkins married Georgia Ann Sansom, a neice of Emma Sansom. I would appreciate any information anyone can give me and I would like to contact any descendents of Malcolm's family. I found the Strawns in Gadsden. Disie had 15 children, three died within days of each other from Diptheria. Some of her grandchildren still live in Gadsden. One of her sons is still living in SC but is in very poor health. My mother remembers talk of Thompsons that she associated with the Selfs, but I can find no connection there. There was an "Aunt" Mary Thompson and "Uncle" Bert Thompson. THey had children named Selena, Ethel, May, Georgia, Marzee, and possibly Asa. My garandfather's brother also remember these people, he is the one who gave me all these names. One of mu uncle's other brothers mentioned the Thompsons also as cousins of Emma Sansom. I am at a loss to know who there people are because I have accounted for all of Grannny's brothers and sisters. Unce Howard Mozley, the uncle I mentioned that wrote the letter lived in Decatur at the time of the events he wrote about so I am hoping someone up there will know something. P.O.

DAVIDSON
My g-g grandfather, Joshua Davidson, settled in Morgan County, Alabama, prior to 1820, then after 1830 went to Illinois. I believe that he had Davidson cousins in Marshall County. In a letter written back to Illinois from Tennessee during the Civil War, Major Henry Davidson, a son of Joshua, says that when they were stationed at Fort Henry they went back from the river to a creek for a drink and found a Confederate muster roll which read:"We the undersigned agree to serve twelve months as a cavalry company in the service of the Southern Confederacy under the command of Captain H Minur, - - Ledbetter, 1st Lieut., and David Davidson, 2nd Lieut." Then in a list of some 80 privates were the names of William Davidson and Nathaniel Davidson. The letter goes on to say that Henry Davidson supposes they were of the old William Davidson stock as their home was in Marshall County near Dittoes Landing. He says, "Mother, I am only about 200 miles from where I was born and I must say that it brings strong emotions to my breast to hear the songs of the spring birds and see so much that brings memories of my boyhood days."Joshua's father was Golden Davidson, whom I have traced to Patrick County, VA, prior to 1800.

Thomas was born ca. 1828in Ala., and died between 1862 and 1870 (possibly in War Between the States?). He married Mary Jane DUTTON, dau. of William DUTTON and Mary HOGAN, in 1851 in Morgan County. Thomas and Mary had two children: James W., b. ca. 1856, and Thomas E., b. 6 Jan 1863, d. 12 Nov 1885. James W. SPARKS married Sarah C. PILL, dau. of William and Caroline PILL, in 1878. She died in 1885; it is unknown if there was any issue. I am seeking possible descendants of this family. Mary SPARKS is living with brother James Z. DUTTON in 1880 census. James and Sarah are living with her mother and step-father. Both are gone by 1900. It is reputed in our family that some of our SPARKS moved to Texas. Any information would be greatly appreciated. 3307 Cedar Cove SW Decatur, AL 35603 URL:
