Appling/Beasley
I would like to submit a query concerning Martha Jane Appling Beasley. She was born 1815 in NC and died 1907 in Lamar County, AL. She is buried in the cemetery in Kennedy, AL. She married Gabriel Dillard Beasley and one of her children was Martin Luther Beasley who lived all of his life in Lamar County. I was wondering if there might be an obituary for Martha as her family lived in Fayette, Sanford, and Lamar County from 1834 until the mid 1950's. Ms. Hattie Beasley was one of her grandchildren.

Blaylock
I was reading over your site on the children of Robert Anderson and Phoebe
Rimmer. Do you know what happened to Fielding Blaylock in
1860 and in 1870 and do you know if Fielding went by yet another name?
I have located a Fielding Blaylock on the will of his father Elbert Blaylock
it is in Decatur Tenn. I have sent for the will. In the transcribing of the
family of Elbert I have the birth date of 1793 do you know the siblings of
Robert Anderson in the same township as Elbert is a Benjamin Blaylock born
1791 he is listed with a 81 yr. old Catherine do you know who this Catherine
is? I am working on transcribing all blaylock and blalock's in 1870 that is I
am looking at each and every roll and copying the information and bringing it
home in hopes to solve my own mystery and let some of the data absorb.please

Bill Finch
I'm Deborah Welte Gosa and I am doing family
research on the Gosa family. We are up here in
Wisconsin and we are trying to locate who the
ancestors were who came up through the northern part
of the U.S. I just wanted to say that your family
history is very interesting and informative.
Guyton
I would like information on Alonzo Guyton. His son's were Tommie T Guyton, Ernest
Guyton , Duey Guyton, and Atmos Guyton. I think they were from Walker County
or Lamar. I am his granddaughter.
Hayes
My name is Verbin Hayes Jr. I am an amateur at genealogy, but I would like
to find some information, hopefully even a photograph, on my paternal
grandfather, Jess Hayes. I heard that Jess Hayes had done time
in prison for killing a man in the 1930s or early 1940s. Supposedly, he spent about three years in prison then was released. He worked at the Mossier (Mozier?) Coal Mines and his family lived at the mining camp at the time.
Some time after release from prison, he was killed in a fight with members of the Jack Loggins family and other Hayes family members. My
father was only11 when Jess was killed, so I have obviously never met him. As I understand the story, the fight occurred at Jack Loggins house near Sam Spruill's store in Sulligent (near?).
The location of his remains is not a mystery; he was laid to rest at the
Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in January 1945. His death is reported
as occurring on 9 Jan 1945, but I'm not positive of that. What I don't know, is something about the man. I would just like to have some information about him, like newspaper clippings, death certificate or some form of photo; maybe a prison photo?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide. I left Alabama
when I was 12, joined the Air Force at 19 and have now retired in Ohio. I
make it to Alabama every few years, but have not had enough time to do much> > research there. I can offer to assist you with information you might need from southwest Ohio in return; I live just south of Dayton in a little town named Miamisburg.
Lewis
I was wondering if you knew who Leona Carden Lewis's husband Walter Cleve Lewis parents were and if he was any kin to Everett D.B. Lewis who was living in Monroe Co Ms 1870's and was living in Al (Maybe Sulligent) 1888 to late 1890 before moving to Leflore County OK. Everett married one of my g-aunts, Margaret Herren( his second wife). Also a Charles Lewis who married a Jennie Herring 8/10/1883 in Hinds Ms. The next time you see Leona would you ask her about this. I have also been going to write you and ask you if you have any info on any Pitchfords who lived in Lamar co 1800's

Strawbridge
I am still very much interested in the Strawbridges. The link that I'm
pursuing is one of my
great-great grandmothers: Rebecca Strawbridge. The only thing that's come down through the
family is the name, and some folks have it recorded as Rebecca Vinson Strawbridge.
She married Thomas K. Guyton. Among their children was Martha Susan Elizabeth Guyton, born
November 29, 1853 and died February 28, 1933.
Martha Susan Guyton married Thomas Cussic Hollis at her father's home on November 5, 1871.
The
wedding was conducted by John G. Holladay, a Justice of the Peace.
If you can give me any leads, they would be greatly appreciated.
