My name is Linda
Armstead. I was born and raised in Bazemore, Alabama. I
went to school at West Highland School in Fayette. I have been
researching my family history. It becomes very difficult when
your family was slaves. I have been trying to determine what farm
my family came from and who was the slave master. My
grandfather's name was Marshall Rice and lived in
Palestine. My grandmother's name was Anaky Nalls Rice, and she also
grew up in Palestine. Since they were born during slavery, I have
not been able to go back any further. I was common that slaves
took the name of their master. Do you have any info on any Nalls
or Rices?
My other set of Grandparents were Eben "Babe" McCollum born and raised in
Bazemore, and my grandmother, Adeline Glascot McCollum. I
am not sure where Adeline came from since she was a Cherokee
Indian. Any knowledge you have would be appreciated.

My ggg-grandfather Howell Andrew
Watkins was born in Fayette
Co. on December 25, 1843. His father Howell Nathan
"Malcomb" Watkins had lived there
for many years prior. What do I need to do to have name added and
where did your
reference re: Watkins being one of first settlers come from?

Here are two generations of a family who lived in Fayette Co, AL,
as adults before the Civil War. I didn't see any of them on your
list. There are also several other families who married into this
one. I hope you can use this [see William Berry family at Fayette
County
Family Records]. I have a
webpage that includes these families and ancestors and descendants. If
you go to http://www.creativewoodworking.com [
Not valid as of 09 Aug 2003].
Scroll down and click on the link to Janeva's genealogy page then the
report of ancestors of Lloyd Alfred Schrimpf, it has these Berrys and
more. ["Janeva's genealogy page" address as of 09 Aug 2003

If you'd like to add it to your county page that would be fine

FRANCES ANN
ELIZEBETH JONES was
my gggrandmother, born 9 April 1832 and died 10 April 1891, buried in
Gaines Cemetery, Gaines Hill, Corona, Walker Co., AL. She was
married to George Shipp Gaines.
According to his obituary, published in the Mountain Eagle, Jasper, AL.
She was born in Fayette County. I do not know who any of her
family was. We have history on the Gaines, Pendleton, Strother
and Gravlee branches of the family, but absolutely none on the Jones
branch. Do you have her listed in your Jones genealogy or can you
provide a possible link? I live in Gadsden, but am a native of
Walker County. Any info will be very much appreciated. If I
can reciprocate any info I'll be happy to do so. C.M. Pannell

My mother, Juanice HARVELL Sandy was born in Fayette, AL, in
1925. Her parents were Rube
HARVELL (b. 11/1894 in AL)
and Lona
HICKS
Harvell (b. 3/1894 in AL). Lona Hicks's parents were Columbus
(Lumb) HICKS (b. 1874 or 75 in AL) and Elizabeth
PRICE Hicks -- DOB and
place unknown. Rube's parents were George HARVELL (b. 1872) and
Sarah Alice
ALLMAN
(b. 10/1869). I have reason to believe that all of the above
mentioned likely lived in the Fayette area at some time in the
past. My g.grandparents, Lumb and Lizzy HICKS, lived in Beach
Grove, AL while I was growing up in Cullman, AL, from 1942-1954, when I
moved to Oregon. My grandmother, Lona Hicks Harvell, talked about
Fayette and the area of "Black Bottom." Does anyone know
WHERE Black Bottom is located? Will gladly share info I have with
anyone researching these names. Thanks.

Am trying to put a
muster list of the 26th
Alabama together. This is like a needle in a
haystack. Most of the 26th soldiers were from Fayette County as
well as Marion. I see in the 1860 Census of Fayette that a
Benjamin Wakefield
and James Monroe Wakefield both served in the CSA, but there is no
regiment listed. Benjamin died in Virginia. Would anyone
know what regiment they served in? If it's the 26th, then
please let me know.

I am the listowner for the new Fayette Co. AL mailing list <
ALFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com>.
I received the message below from John Fuller, who you probably know
has a great site listing genealogy resources which I've used many
times. He has offered to publicize the new list on his site and
several others and, with your permission, would provide a link to your
Fayette Co. web page.
I would like my e-mail list to be included at the web sites. If
you would like a link to your Fayette Co. page, please let him know by
e-mailing:
John Fuller
Hi Monya:
I see that you have started the ALFAYETT mailing list and would like to
include an entry for it in the Genealogy Resources on the Internet file
that I coauthor with Chris Gaunt. This file is a rather
well-known compilation of genealogy-related resources that includes
sites for mailing lists, FTP, newsgroups, Telnet, Gopher, WWW, and
email. You can access the file at
http://members.aol.com/johnf14246/internet.html
If you are interested in having your list included in the file (free of
course!), I propose the following entry which is in the format I have
been using for other county lists on rootsweb (corrections gratefully
accepted including the correct URL for your web page). BTW, if
you don't own the Fayette County web page, you would need to get
permission from the owner to include the link or modify the entry by
deleting reference to the web page.
ALFAYETT. A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest
in Fayette County, Alabama. Interested individuals may want to
check out the
Fayette County ALGenWeb page.
Mailing address for postings is
alfayett-l@rootsweb.com.
To subscribe send the word "subscribe" (without the quotes) as the only
text in the body of a message to alfayett-l-request@rootsweb.com (mail
mode) or alfayett-d-request@rootsweb.com (digest mode).
FYI, the entries on my web pages are considered to be the "official"
descriptions of genealogy mailing lists. Once we agree on an
entry for your list, I will send it to Karen Isaacson (RootsWeb), Cyndi
Howells, and Vicki Lindsay so they can add the information to their web
pages. This way you get advertising on the four sites that really
count ... and they are all consistent. It also saves you the time
and trouble of writing to them. I will also post the entry to the
NEW-GENLIST mailing list to provide additional exposure.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am looking for any information and the burial place of Bolin
CURETON, born abt 1755,
died in Fayette County 1830-40. We think he was buried at the Boley
Springs cemetery in NE Fayette Co. AL.
I have visited Boley Springs cemetery and I did not find Boley's
grave. There were many unmarked graves there but I have no way of
knowing if he was buried in one of them
You have a very nice page. Thanks, Glenn Allen, email url

Bravo! You have done a beautiful job with the Fayette Co
page! Congrats! I had not visited the sight in some time
(in fact, my link was no longer valid and I had to update it) and was
surprised and excited to see all of the changes and all of the
information which has been posted. What a wonderful resource for
those of us with deep roots in Fayette Co.
My father was born and raised in Berry and his family lines include
Boone,
Cannon, Chappell,
Johnston and others.
I did notice that Miles
Chappell
is not listed among the early settlers. Miles and his wife
Priscilla settled in Fayette Co about 1822, moving there from
Tennessee, and lived there for over 60 years until ill health forced
them to move to their daughter's home in Tuscaloosa Co. Miles was
a pensioner of the War of 1812. They raised a family of 13
children, many of whom remained in Fayette Co. I have transcribed
copies of a wonderful series of articles written by Sharlene McGee
Stough and published in the "Winding Trails" column of the Fayette
County Broadcaster in 1981. It gives the entire genealogy of
Miles' & Priscilla's family down through their grandchildren as
well as Miles' descent from Thomas Chappell who immigrated to Virginia
in 1635. Also included is a great little piece about Miles' &
Priscilla's ongoing fight of 38 years with the government over Miles'
War of 1812 pension. I found the orginals of these in a vertical
file at the Birmingham Public Library about 15 years ago. I made
photocopies, of course, but they did not copy very well so I have since
transcribed them. I would love to locate better copies of the
originals as well as any other columns which may have been published
later. (There is a little "teaser" at the end of the last article which
says "in the future this column will present stories on many of these
descended families such as the Whitsons, Johnsons, Davises,
Stanleys...."). If you can offer any suggestions as to where I
might write to or look for copies of the Broadcaster I would sincerely
appreciate it. Keep up the GREAT work! Let me know if I can
help in anyway. God Bless
