Jan.
2005
I wish to find connections
to people with these surnames in LC. These families were
there from the founding of the county until roughly the end of
the Civil War. Some families likely left some remnants in
the county as well. Some specific names are William K.
Moore, Ebenezer Moore, Armanella Moore Davis, William Lackey,
Andrew M. Lackey (one-time mayor of Mt. Hope), Andrew Jackson
Lackey, Ann Alexander, Abigail Alexander, Noble Osborn,
Amelia Osborn Lackey, Elizabeth White Lackey, Andrew White.
There are likely some Indian connections as well. Jill

tomb stone with the inscription: C. E. (or F.) Butler, born 1844,

SMITH
Jan.
2005
Hummphrey SMITH and his
wife, Lovie B. SMITH are listed in the 1920 and 1930 census for
Lawrence county. If these are the people I think they are,
they came to Lawrence County from Tuscaloosa County. I
think Lovie's surname was Bigham. Anyone know if they are
buried in Lawrence County; do you know of any descendants,
etc.? Thanks. Don Rogers Don Rogers
