I'm looking for the "BURKS" family who lived on Government Street in Mobile, Alabama before and during the Civil War. I believe one of these BURKS married a CLEILAND and moved to the Coffeeville/Saliptca area of Clarke County, Alabama. When I was little, spending a lot of time at my grandmother, she used to show me this fork with a very faded 'B' on the handle of it. And then she would tell me the story of how the BURKS, during the Civil War, had to hide their silver in the lard and lower it down the well. The Yankees found some, but not all. My grandmother, Eloise Pitman Clarke, and her 3 sisters, Maggie, Mary Lou and Jeanette, each got one of the pieces from their mother - Sallie Belle Cleiland Pitman - along with this same story. My great aunt Jeanette also has the story of coming to Mobile in the early part of this century to visit an aunt they called ''Auntie''. Auntie lived on Royal Street and Aunt Jeanette says she remembered walking back to the Mobile River. (Aunt Jeanette was a very young girl at the time and it was before they moved to Mobile, so they traveled from Saliptca, Al.) And the BURKS were also supposed to be good friends with the BATTLES who owned the Battlehouse on Royal Street in Mobile. Does anybody have any info at all of the BURKS from Mobile, or even the CLEILANDS of Clarke County. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I am trying to locate family members of Elvis L. Price, Jr. There is a possibility that this family is living in AL. Elvis was an Army pilot during WWII and was killed on April 6, 1945 when his plane crashed in Germany. He is buried in the Mobile National Cemetery in AL. There is a book, picture, info and a close Army buddy of his that would love to contact any of his family members and give them a copy of his book that was written in 1996. Elvis had one sister, name unknown. Elvis' family lived in FL during the 1940's. |

I'm still looking for any information about my great grandmother's family. Her name was Mary Undine BROWN, born in 1842, supposedly in Alabama. I have no idea what county. She ended up in Neshoba Co., Mississippi, married to a Joseph Abner JOHNSON. They probably married in about 1857-58, for they had a son - my grandfather, John Randel JOHNSON, in 1859, in Neshoba Co., MS. They are listed on the 1860 census there. I've looked and looked for her on the 1850 census as an 8 year old or possibly she could have still been 7 years old, depending on when the census was taken. If anybody has seen this name - Mary Undine Brown anywhere - please let me know. Thank you. |

Am trying to locate information on my g-g-g-grandfather, John NOLEN. He arrived in Texas in 1831 (according to his application for a first class headright grant from the Rebpulic of Texas). He is first shown in Texas in the May 1835 census of Jasper, Municipality of Bevil, Texas. His age is shown as 29 so he would have been born about 1806. His wife was Amelia "Milly" TEEL. They had a son, Edward T. NOLEN, who was born about 1824 in Alabama, a daughter, Elizabeth,who was born about 1827 in Alabama, and a daughter, Amanda, who was born about 1829 in Alabama. Their other children were born in Texas. In all the various records here in Texas, I have seen the name spelled NOWLAND, NOWLIN, NOLIN, NOLAND, NOLAN and NOLEN. The current descendents usually spell the name NOLIN, NOLAN or NOLEN. |
