Witts, Charles and WM of AlabamabySearching for Witt Descendants of Charles and William Witt of Jackson Co., Ala. Circa 1830's |
I'm stuck toobyHi. I am looking for some Witts too. Mainly, the parents of Ewing Shelby Witt of Jackson County, who lived in the Atalla area part of his life. He was born about 1854 and died abt 1919. He married a Davis first, and then my gggrandmother, Mary Lee Woody. He also had a brother named James. They were raised by a William Taylor and Mallie ? I do think it is possible that this Mallie is the mother, but family lore from James decendents says they were an aunt and uncle to them. Does any of this ring any bells to you? Thank you for your response. |

Emory Carroll Maxwellby Looking for where in Jackson Co. Emery was buried. He died before 1833. He was the son of Benjamin Maxwell. Emory's widow and younger children left Jackson Co. for Ark. they are buried in Saratoga,Ark. Emery was in the Civil War and supposly lost an arm in a battle. |
James MaxwellbyI am seeking information on the parents of my Ggrandfather James Maxwell of Jackson County, Alabama and hoping perhaps you might know something about them . James Maxwell married Sarah Pennington, the daughter of Joel Pennington & Hannah Hembree, September 29, 1872 in Jackson County, Alabama. I found James Maxwell listed as the son of Emory Carrol Maxwell on Rootsweb World Connect but have no sources to prove this. Most of my Millican Family are buried at Maxwell Cemetery, Flat Rock, Jackson County, Alabama. (Sand Mountain) There are a # of Maxwells buried there in unmarked graves. I believe they are my family as my mother always put flowers on their graves. I have an uncle (deceased) named John Emory Millican. His parents were John D. Millican,(son of Andrew Jackson Millican & Mary Elvira Scott) and Hannah Maxwell, (daughter of James Maxwell & Sarah Pennington).I have seen both Sarah and Hannah as having a middle name of Caroline. Hannah was married (1) Charley Hawes and they had 4 daughters. (2) John D. Millican and they had a daughter and a son. I do not have her death date but she died when the children were quite young. I recently had a computer crash so lost most of my research. I am willing to share what I have left. I am seeking any information, pics, stories , etc. that anyone can share with me. Thanks, Louise Carver Howard Dade County, GA |

KINNEMAR FamilybySeeking information on the Kinnemar family. Mary Kinnemar married Joseph Kilgore ca. 1874, Rachel Kinnemar married his brother. All information and suggestions welcome. |
Kinnemar FamilybyLast October I acquired a book titled "THE FAMILY OF JAMES ALLEN KENNAMER and MATILDA (MAPLES) KENNAMER". The Kennamer family lived in the area of Woodville, AL. The spelling of the name is different. Does this book sound like anything you might be interested in? I was in Woodville researching the "WHITECOTTON" family when the librarian gave me a copy of this Kennamer book. Let me know. Betty Jarosz |
book/KennamerbyI wonder if the book you got in Woodville is still available. I am researching mainly Pendergrass presently, but that ties in with Hodges, who were from that same area around Woodville and Kennamer Cove. I would love to know how to get a copy of the book. Thanks. Mary Don Branum |
Question about Pendergrass familybyHi Mary, I'm not responding about the book. I saw that you are researching the Pendergrass family and I thought you might could help me. My Great Grandfather was William McLane OR sometimes listed McClain. My Grandfather Wrote in his family Bible that William's mother was Mattie Pendergrass. Will married Ellen Guthrie in Jackson Co., AL in 1893 and he drowned mysteriously in a body of water,(not sure how big a body), in Jackson County, in 1910. My Mother says Will and Ellen lived in Scotsboro. My Mom is 82 and isn't always the best historian. I have not been able to find Will's Parents. I did find a Martha Pendergrass McLane who had 3 boys, but they were John, George and Willis. No information on the father. I know Will had a brother named Willis that married Sarah E. Guthie. Ellen and her children lived with Willis' family in 1910 after Will Died. This is on the 1910 census. (Marshall Co. I believe). I feel sure that this Mattie Pendergrass McLane was his Mother but with the names different I can't prove it. Does any of this fit into what you are researching? I would appreciate any help you could give me on this family. Thank you, Vickie Hensley |
PendergrassbyVicki, I don't recognize the names you are looking for, but that doesnt mean much. I seldom get time to research and seem to forget more than I learn. I will look thru my papers and see if I can find anything. Will let you know. You can email me with your email address if you want, at cowgirl_marydon@yahoo.com. Mary Don Branum |
