John Carter is
found in the DAR records along with Henry
Wise. JC married
Elizabeth
Wise, the daughter
of Henry and they are found on the 1790
census
of South
Carolina. They named a son Thomas Randolph
Carter, probably
after his
brother Thomas Carter who followed them to
Talledega, Alabama
in St. Clair
County about 1820. The land record is
dated 1821. John Wise
Carter had
seven sons listed in 1830.
Thomas Randolph
Carter was my father in law's great grandfather,
so he
is definitely an
ancestor to my children and grandchildren, one
grandson
is named
Carter. It is suspected that the
mother of Thomas was a
native
american. Thomas had dark piercing eyes
and dark hair and
absolutely
nothing can be found on his mother's
heritage.
Elizabeth named
a son John Wise Carter
around 1790 and
he married a woman only known as "Mary".
My son has found
a
tombstone in a local confederate cemetery in
Deatsville, Elmore County, AL,
with a J. W.
Carter on it which will be photographed soon. This J. W. was
a Chickasaw Scout in the Civil War.

The T. R. Carter
family are all buried at a family cemetery
we found in Hope Hull off of the
McLean Road
which was once land owned by Captain Benjamin
Lewis. The
wife of Lewis is
unknown but could she be related....Hope Hull is
probably one
of the very
first settlements of Montgomery County AL. It's
road goes right
to Maxwell AFB
and so close to the downtown area where the
capitol stands.
Thomas Carter's
plantation would have been so close to Bibb,
Graves,
Bell, McGehee,
and many others including a John Booth and a
George Bush.
There is a
historical marker downtown where John Wilkes
Booth once
performed and
the current George Bush we all know flew in
often to go
fishing with old
friends and relatives.
There were also
some legal documents signed by Judge Benajah
Bibb.
Thomas Carter
served in the Civil War, owned his own horse and
after Lacy
Jane died, he
married Mary Josephine Hereferd of Virginia and
they had
only one child,
Sarah Elizabeth Carter. Sarah married Levi
Benjamin
Cooper and had
"Mamaw" Susie Mae Cooper "Brooks".
Susie
Mae Cooper 's granny (58
KB)Mary Josephine Herriferd married T
R Carter and had Sarah Elizabeth Carter. Mary's
parents were Jemima Ramsey and John Herriford of
Virginia, all migrated to Alabama.

2nd
Regiment, Alabama Cavalry
2nd Cavalry Regiment was organized
during May, 1862, at Montgomery, Alabama. Its
companies were from the counties of Calhoun,
Shelby, Greene, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Butler,
Coosa, Monroe, and Dallas. The regiment operated for a
time in Florida, then skirmished in Mississippi
under General
Ruggles before
being assigned to Ferguson's Brigade. Under this
command it was active in the Atlanta Campaign,
the defense of
Savannah, and the campaign of the Carolinas.
Later the 2nd
Cavalry formed part of President Davis' escort
when he moved southward during the last days of
the war. It surrendered at Forsyth, Georgia, in
May, 1865, with about 450 officers and men. Its
commanders were
Colonels John N. Carpenter, R.G. Earle,
and F.W. Hunter; Lieutenant
Colonels James Cunningham, Josiah J. Pegues, and
John P. West; and Majors Richard W. Carter and
Leroy Napier.
* * *
For a while Thomas's brothers lived
around him, but soon left for Georgia.
Elizabeth Wise Carter went back to South Carolina when
her husband died. Her brother in law
Captain Thomas Carter has not been studied, so it is not
known if he remained on his plantation in
Talladega. However we do know there are some famous
Carter families in
Georgia
:)
There is no known connection with
my mother Anne Carter to these Carters but, who
knows?? Her father was Cecil Carter of Macon
GA.
Susie Mae Cooper married James E.
Brooks and named her son James E. Brooks,
Jr. Susie's inlaws were Annie Clark Ballard and
John Brooks of Tennessee. They have a vast
history in early Tennessee
1800s.
James Jr. married Mary Ella
Thornton, the daughter of Bessie Mae Hood and
Milton Elijah
Thornton.
Milton Elijah's mother was Mary
Angeline Partridge, an indian from
Georgia. This information
comes from Milton's daughter,
Lorraine "Tutor" Thornton Jeffcoat and her
daughter Sue
Carol Bozeman.
Mary's parents were Mildred Smith
and George Partridge of Flint
Georgia.

We would like to point out that these (mostly

proved, for the most part, to be a thorn in the
flesh
to the Cherokees who remained in the
east. And, even after the Trail of

refused to give in to the will of the majority,
and became
traitors to their own
people.
Mr. Bell
writes in his book "Old & New Cherokee

Montgomery County was
created December 6, 1816, by the Mississippi
Territory General Assembly and was named in
honor of Major Lemuel Putnam Montgomery who was
killed in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in
1814.
The city of Montgomery was
voted in 1846 to become the permanent state
capitol. The first Capitol Building was
completed in December 1847. In December 1849
this building burned. Money was appropriated in
1850 to rebuild. Over the years, the Capitol
Building was added to and
remodeled.
In 1861, Jefferson Davis
was sworn in as President of the Confederate
States of America in Montgomery, the first
capital of the CSA. Montgomery County was
represented in this new government by William
Parish Chilton (1810 – 1871), former Chief
Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. In 1886,
the first electric streetcar system for our
nation was installed here. The nation's
first flight school for powered was founded here
in 1910 by the Wright Brothers Rosa Parks simple
act of taking a seat in the front of the bus
after a very tiring day took place in Montgomery
in 1955. Dr. Martin Luther King's 1965
march from Selma was to Montgomery ended at the
state capitol steps. Montgomery has been a
center for many firsts in our
country
Montgomery County is the
fourth largest of the 67 counties in the state
of Alabama. Only Jefferson, Mobile, and Madison
counties have larger populations. Montgomery
County's population, according to the 1990
census was 209,085.
Montgomery County has a
very colorful background. Settlers first began
to populate the area in the early 1800s. The
county of Montgomery was created by an Act of
the Legislature of the Mississippi Territory on
December 6, 1816. It was carved out of Monroe
County and originally embraced the whole of
central Alabama, east of the ridge dividing the
Tuscaloosa and Tombigbee Rivers from the Cahaba
River, west of the Okfuskee and Coosa, and south
of the mountains of Blount. However, it was soon
subdivided and portions were set apart which
made up Elmore, Bullock, and Crenshaw
counties.
Montgomery County was
named in memory of Major Lemuel P. Montgomery,
of Virginia, who fell at the Battle of Horseshoe
Bend, on March 27, 1814. He was shot in the head
by a Redstick musketball, becoming the first man
to die in the battle. A statue of Major
Montgomery graces the entrance of the Montgomery
County Courthouse, located at 251 S. Lawrence
St.
The lands of Montgomery
County were put up for auction at the Federal
Land Office in Milledgeville, Georgia in 1816.
Larger parcels were sold to developers who
subdivided the land into lots for urban
commercial and residential use, predetermining a
major city on the banks of the Alabama River at
Montgomery.
A hardy and superior
class of people penetrated the wilderness.
Settlements and towns sprang into existence
everywhere. The City of Montgomery, which became
the county seat in 1822, was built on the side
of the Indian town Ikanatchati (Econachatee),
which means red ground, and Towasa on a high red
bluff known to Alibamu Indians as Chunnaanaauga
Chatty. Hernando DeSoto and his troops, who
passed near Montgomery in the autumn of 1540,
were the first Europeans to visit this
region.
When the Alabama Lands
were offered for sale in 1817, two groups of
speculators made their initial payments. One
group, a company of Georgians led by General
John Scott, bought the area along the river
bluff and called it "Alabama Town." Later, a
second group, led by Andrew Dexter, bought the
area bounded by present day Court, Ripley,
Scott, and Jefferson Streets and named it "New
Philadelphia." The Georgians abandoned the
Alabama Town and built the town of East Alabama,
in competition.
A bitter rivalry between
the two groups was finally terminated when the
two towns were merged under the name Montgomery.
Incorporated December 3, 1819, eleven days
before Alabama was admitted into the Union, the
city of Montgomery was named in honor of Major
Richard Montgomery of Revolutionary War fame,
who lost his life in the Arnold expedition
against Quebec.

My mom's parents were Emily Alice
McClain and Cecil Earl Carter. His death
certificate shows his parents as William
Franklin Fenn and Anna Lou Stone and is signed
by his brother Emmett Marvin Fenn. So I ordered William's
death certificate and found his parents to be
Emeline Harrell and John Fenn of Georgia who
had migrated to Tuskegee, Macon, Alabama in the
1800s.
John's father was Elijah Fann and
his mother was Martha Rich of Georgia and the
Fenn/ Fann
families took part in the Cherokee Land
Lottery. Our grandfathers served in the
American Revolution and some were Indian
Traders.
Elijah's parents were Travis and
"Mary". Parents of Travis were Alecy McCoy
who was probably
indian and Zachariah Fenn who's
great grandparents were Mary Stone and John Fann
of early
Virginia history.
The Cherokee history of Georgia
have the McCoys listed as Indian, and she was
one of my many grandmothers.
Martha Rich Fann also had a
daughter named Letitia who married a Thomas Rich
and they are
listed in the Cherokee
Rolls.
Parents of Anna Lou Stone Fenn were
Mary Ann Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Stone who
went back to Georgia around 1900
and Anna soon followed.
They were found in 1850 census of
Macon County, Alabama with Augustus as the child
of
Benjamin Wilburne Stone and Sarah
Ann Davis. Ben's parents were Michael
Stone of
Maryland and Polly Wells of
Georgia.
It
is not known if we connect to Thomas Stone who
signed the Declaration Of
Independence.

Chambers County, Alabama…Chambers
County was created by an act of the Alabama
General Assembly on 1832 Dec. 18, from Creek
Nation territory. It is located in the
east-central portion of the state, and is bounded on the
east by the Chattahoochee River. The county is
named for Henry Chambers, a U.S. Senator from
Alabama (1825-26). The location of the county
seat was selected in 1833 and the town of LaFayette
was built specifically for that purpose.

1921. The treaty with the Creeks stipulated that
the head of each Indian family was to
receive 320 acres of land and the chiefs 640
acres. Most of the Indian land ended up in the hands of
white land speculators. Most of the Indians were
forced out of Chambers County after the Creek War of
1836-1837. Some of them ended up in Randolph,
Macon, Tallapoosa
or Talladega counties for a
short while, before finally giving up and
heading further west. Some of the Indians
managed to stay in Alabama by denying their
Indian blood, claiming to be Black Dutch or
Melungeun.

The
death certificates of both of Anna's parents are
listed in the Georgia website.
When she left Fenn she took baby
Cecil so was Fenn not the father? This will
forever remain a
mystery.
An
adoption record might exist either in Georgia or
Alabama but were they even recorded at
that time.
After Fenn died Cecil did come back
to Alabama to be near his brothers so perhaps
they were hisblood kin. He met and married
Emily McClain and called her Ellie. She
was the daughter of Lorena Emma Bozeman and Charles Allen
McClain.
Lorena's parents were Alice Lorena
Stephens and John Thomas Bozeman of
Dublin.
Charles is buried at Dublin Church
of Christ Cemetery but has no tombstone, while
one should have been provided since he served in
World War 1.
Lorena is buried at Memorial
Cemetery near Maxwell AFB on land that was once
owned by her
Uncle Robert Henry Bozeman, a
contractor.
Lorena's daughter Emily Alice is
buried nearby but has no headstone. Most
of the McClain
children are buried
there.
Lorena's mother Alice Stephens is
buried in Dubin behind the Hills Chapel Church,
while her father is buried by his last wife in
front of that church in another cemetery called
Hills Chapel Cemetery. Parents of Alice
Stephens were Sarah Mills and Joseph C.
Stephens.

Bozemans lived next door!! Corintha was an

married a Bozeman next
door.
An Uncle Elijah Anderson died in
the Civil War and is buried at Hickory Grove and
ironically my great grandparents Lorena and
Charles McClain onced lived at Hickory
Grove.
The Stephens line came from South
Carolina where John Stephens married a full
blood Cherokee woman and his son John Jr.
married Jane Tillman, a
German.
The parents of Charles McClain were
Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion
McClain. Josiah left a family in Georgia to
serve in the Civil War and settled with
Elizabeth in Ramer. His ex wife
filed for
divorce in 1872 claiming desertion and she
joined the Cherokee Rolls.
Parents of Elizabeth were Mary
Stephens and Abner Broadway. Abner's
parents came from
South Carolina, Nancy and Abner
Broadway.
Josiah's parents were James McClain
of Georgia and "Anna" and are buried at Indian
Creek
Cemetery.
Anna could have been a native
american.
Many of these grandfathers served
in the American Revolution.
The McClains trace back to
Elizabeth Moon who married a Charles McClain in
Virginia after the War and they migrated to
Spartanburg South Carolina.

In Virginia 1600s is found Bozeman,
McClain, Moon, Fann, Stone and 1700s North and
South Carolina, are my Andersons, Brack, Doty,
Sellers, Stephens ancestors who all eventually
migrated into Georgia and Alabama, many listed
in the DAR soldiers and patriots listing online.
Much has been written about William Benjamin
Sellers and John Stephens; The Doty family came
from the first Thanksgiving in America,
including our Edward Doty.
The capital city
of Montgomery attracted most who were moving
into Alabama. They farmed cotton and hauled by
horse and wagon to Dexter Avenue to sell it.
Those in Ramer or Dublin had a very hard time on
the nasty dirt roads with their wagons getting
stuck, that they found it much closer, to just
travel to Troy and sell their crops.
Cousin
Clarence deserves much credit for his work on
the Brooks family tree. Our Hans Brooke came
from Holland with a french wife and settled in
Pennsylvania, having four children. Son John was
found on the 1860 census of Giles Tennessee
where he married and began a family but he also
died young of tuberculosis and his wife
remarried.
Even though we all studied history
as children, only now do I realize how harshly
the epidemics harmed our families. There were
very few doctors, and even less money to pay
them, so most families made their own tonics or
salves and tried to heal their own. Also we
begin to realize that our own ancestors were the
indians who lost their lands during the Trail or
Tears and that we also had ancestors serving in
the American Revolution. We had ancestors in the
Civil War with some in the Union and some in the
Confederacy. There is a documented soldier or
patiot in most of my surnames of this
lineage.
Years ago when I first started this
family tree, I downloaded a Cochran file online
and thanks to Richard for his hard work on my
Dad's lineage and the rest is my own labor of
love. I took what Richard had posted on rootsweb
and began my own census search to verify each
family in the line and found even more to add,
especially the Jacob Cochran file I received
from cousin Chuck. Soon my little family tree
became an addiction to genealogy.
I have met
many new cousins on the internet and shared
stories and pictures. Much of my research has
been found on usgenweb and the lds websites and
I do thank my Bozeman cousins for meeting with
me on 5/2/2007 and helping us find the grave of
Peter Edward Bozeman. I have visited many
cemeteries and ordered death certificates to
prove my lineage.Elisha Anderson's will was
probated in Montgomery 1834, Several marriage
licenses and estate sales, even confederate
applications. The first Peter Bozeman born 1758
has letters filed here in 1828 where he wrote to
the revolutionary office.
Many books have
been written about our families and my own book
sits on my desk and is being added to each day
but will never be
published.

My
Cochran Clan of Scotland settled in Pennsylvania in
the 1700s and had something to do with Cochranville
PA, appearing as merchants on the census. Quakers and
or Pennsylvania Dutch, they moved into Ohio by 1810,
then Iowa and on to Hill City, Kansas where Grandpa
Jacob Cochran became the first HomeSteader.
Records indicate two Jacobs served in the
Ohio Infantry and one died.

Jacob
was the son of William who was the son of Alexander
Cochran. Jacob married first to Mariah White and
secondly to Clora Jane Miller who is written about in
the book "Alexander Miller by Milo
Custer". William and Alexander had
received Military Land Grants in Ohio. Alexander
had served in the American Revolution. William
must have served in the War of
1812.
Captain
George Little of Scotland born 1735 was in Union South
Carolina and served in the American Revolution,
settling into Kentucky about 1802 with his second wife
Mary Handley Douglass. Here his children met up with
the Criglers, Carpenters, Roby, Simmons, Wells
families. The Coonfields of Holland were in PA in the
1700s and Isaac born about 1760 was in the 1800
Kentucky Tax List. His great grandson Ben Coonfield
married Lattie Little. Their daughter Luella married
Frank D Cochran. Our grandfather Captain George Little
was wounded during the Revolution, therefore exempt
from any poll or tax list. Some of the Coonfields and
Cochrans were in Iowa Territory in the 1800s and Isaac
Coonfield Jr. had settled in
Indiana.

Mary
Handley was first married to Alexander Douglass of
Pennsylvania and had three daughters. Her
brother John Handley was a surveyor who took Alexander
with him on a trip to explore Kentucky in the 1700s
just as Daniel Boone had done. John Handley had
hundreds of acres of land in Kentucky. As they
returned to Pennsylvania Alexander Douglass was
killed. His widow and children moved to
South Carolina where they met the Little families, and
her daughter Betsy married Jonas Little, the son of
George about 1800. Betsy's son Hiram
Lucius Little was our grandfather. Hiram was a
surgeon in the Civil War.
Dr.
Hiram Little married Catherine Wright, a daughter of
Catherine Weatherford and John C. Wright of Charlotte
Virginia. She had several children and died
young. Her son John Wright Little is our
grandfather. Hiram met and married Rebecca Adams
of Tennessee and then moved to Bosque County
Texas. John remained in Kentucky with his
Uncle Douglass Little. John also served in the
Civil War and moved in with Abraham Crigler's family,
to marry Abe's daughter, Catherine Crigler.
Catherine named a daughter Lattie Cedonia Little and
died young. John then moved his family to
Arkansas.

Lattie
married Benjamin Wallace Coonfield and named a
daughter Luella. Lue married Frank Delbert
Cochran, the son of Jacob and
Clora.
Jacob
had also served in the Civil War but records show
there were two Jacobs in the war and one died.
Ours survived. Jacob told his family that two of
his brothers had gone in to Canada and never
returned. I did find Jacob with brother John in
1860 in California where they went to search for gold
and then in
1870
Jacob and Mariah were in Iowa Territory near his other
brothers. Their journey to Iowa from Ohio
is
written about in a letter online by his daughter
Elzira.
The
tombstones of Clora and Jacob were found in Hill City
Kansas. It is unknown what happened to her
daughter born to her first marriage. After Jacob's
death she lived with each of her children in Kansas
for a few months, until her death. Her
obituary is also posted in my
research.
George
Little was in Union South Carolina by a Joseph Little,
John and a Jonas Little who must have been his
brothers; one of them may have been the
father. George named his sons after
them. That
Jonas Little lineage moved south into
Alabama and Texas. George's son John was
in Tennessee for many years but also went to Texas. There
was another Hiram Little in Texas before ours moved
there,
and the elder Hiram died in the
Alamo. George lost his wife about 1800 and
married his son's mother in
law, but
had no
children with her. Her brother John Handley
offered them land in Kentucky so about
1802 they joined him in Vienna Kentucky. The land
was just being cleared and settled so they were
mentioned
in the
books
"History Of Kentucky" "History of
Muhlenburg" "History of Daviess County"
"History
of Green River". Much written about
our family there by the son of Uncle Douglass, named
Lucius
Powhatan
Little. He was a great
author, attorney and Judge. Powahatan's daughter
Laura had the memorial set
up for
George through the DAR and photos of his tombstone are
in my research. Powhatan's
mother
was Catherine Wright's sister,
Martha Ann and she was quite creative in naming her
children. I traced
her
mother
Catherine Weatherford's marriage in 1811 to some
archived Virginia records that indicate
her
father was Charles Weatherford and her mother was
probably Patsy who I found with three
girls in the 1810 census
of
Charlotte Virginia but then I found them later in
Kentucky.
It is
not known when the Coonfields moved to Kentucky but
they are found in the 1800
records
of
Henry County. Isaac could be related to Moses
Coonfield, David, John, Jacob and Gideon.
His
grandfather must have been

Notes for CHRISTOPHER
CONFELD:
CHRISTOPHER CONFELD ARRIVED IN AMERICA
SEPTEMBER 9, 1738, ON
THE SHIP
GLASGOW FROM HOLLAND AND ENGLAND. SINCE YOUNG
MEN
OFTEN SAILED TO AMERICA AT A VERY YOUNG AGE,
CHRISTOPHER COULD HAVE BEEN BORN ANYWHERE
BETWEEN
1718-1723. (MOST OF THE KNOWN COONFIELDS
CLAIM TO BE PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH, WHICH MEANS THEIR
DUTCH, ENGLISH, AND GERMAN ANCESTORS SETTLED
IN
PENNSYLVANIA.)
: IN ALL
PROBABILITY THE ROBERT CONFILDT IN THE 1800
PENNSYLVANIA CENSUS IS A SON OF
CHRISTOPHER, WHO COULD
BE THE
"OVER FIFTY" MAN LIVING IN ROBERT'S HOME AT THE TIME.
SINCE
JACOB CONFAIR
AND JOHN
COONFIELD HAVE THE SAME BIRTH YEAR (1775), AND
TWINS
RUN IN THE FAMILY, THEY COULD VERY WELL BE THE TWIN
SONS OF
ROBERT. I ALSO BELIEVE ISAAC (1780) IS A SON OF
ROBERT. MARTIN COULD BE EITHER THE SON OF ISAAC OR ONE
OF THE
TWINS,
AS HIS BIRTHYEAR IS 1800. SOME OF ISAAC'S CHILDREN ARE
: MARTIN (1800?), SUSANNAH (1803?), JAMES (1806),
ISAAC (1808), MILLICENT
(1813)
AND LANARAH (1811).

The
Coonfields are mentioned in the Early Histories of
Indiana, arriving there about 1822 and then
Isaac's
widow Barsheba is found in that 1830 census by the
McClain and Cline families. The Arkansas history
also has the Coonfield mentioned. It seems they
bought land in 1856 there. Isaac born in 1808
first married to Lydia Epperson of Kentucky, and she
died young after having Ben, and so Isaac then
married
her sister Mary. Isaac and Mary's tombstones are
found in Arkansas. His son Benjamin
Wylie
Coonfield served in the Civil War.
Wylie was the father of Benjamin Wallace Coonfield and
called him Wally. The pictures of Wally strongly
resemble my own father and even my brother.
Wally's wife
Lattie Little
strongly
resembled Native American and she called herself
Cherokee plus part of another tribe. Her
daughter Lue called herself one quarter
Cherokee. Daddy's sister Bernice says that John
Little refused an
Indian
Land Allotment. The land he
got in Arkansas is recorded as
HomeStead.
The wife
of Benjamin Wylie Coonfield was Martha Frances Young
born 1841 Indiana to Minerva
Evans of
Kentucky and James Young. Minerva's father
was Silas Evans who lived beside a John
Epperson.

When I
traced John Little's wife, Catherine Crigler, I
found many more early settlers of Kentucky
who had
ventured out of Virginia after serving in the American
Revolution. Her parents were Mary Catherine
Roby and
Abraham Crigler. Mary's parents were Catherine
Simmons and Reason Roby and his will is found probated
in KY. Abe's parents were Mary Duvall and Owen
Crigler.
There
were many plantations with slaves during this
time. The Criglers came from Germanna Colony of
VA.
I did
find one census showing that Grandpa Abe Crigler
became widowed and left Kentucky to live
with his
granddaughter Lattie in
Arkansas.

There is
a book which includes Clora Jane Miller, Jacob Cochran
and their son Frank, "Reverend Alexander Miller"
by cousin Milo Custer. Yes I would like to know
more about Custer! The book names her father
James Miller who married Mary Clara Parker and it
mentions an Orrin Parker. Parents of
James
were James T. Miller and Sarah Crawford and goes back
to Alexander of Rockingham Virginia. The Parkers
came out of New York Indian Country 1700s and then
into Ohio and on into Michigan
Territory. Mary's father was a Dr.
Wanton Horatio Parker and his mother was Sarah Tefft
of Rhode Island
History. Eventually all of these
families migrated to Iowa Territory by wagons.
It's been told that Mary Clara Parker shared medicine
with the Indians and that Clora Jane smoked a pipe and
read the ashes.
Then
again Jacob Cochran's mother was Martha Henderson was
the daughter of Nancy Ann
Clendinning and William Henderson who
also had a nice history as early settlers of
Ohio.

!Nancy Ann
Clendennin: Guernsey County History: One
cold winter's day the
indians, being hungry, came
to the little home in Oxford Township. Not
knowing
what she should do, she gave them an apron
full of fresh baked bread. In a few
days a
deer was left on the Porch. She was educated in
Harrisburg, Dauphin
Co., Pennsylvania, I assume she
was probably born there.
She came to Guernsey Co.,
Ohio in 1806 with her husband and Children. She
was
the first Teacher in Guernsey Co.,
Ohio.
!WilliAM
HENDERSON: Guernsey County History: He was the oldest
child of John

who came from County Down, Ireland in
1758, they settled in Lewistown, Mifflin
Co.,
Pennsylvania. William was a major in the War of

In Virginia 1600s
is found Bozeman, McClain, Moon, Fann, Stone and 1700s
North and South Carolina, are my Andersons,
Brack,Doty, Sellers, Stephens ancestors who all
eventually migrated into Georgia and Alabama, many
listed in the DAR soldiers and patriots listing
online. Much has been written about William Benjamin
Sellers and John Stephens; The Doty family came from
the first Thanksgiving in America, including our
Edward Doty.
The capital city of Montgomery
attracted most who were moving into Alabama. They
farmed cotton and hauled by horse and wagon to Dexter
Avenue to sell it. Those in Ramer or Dublin had a very
hard time on the nasty dirt roads with their wagons
getting stuck, that they found it much closer, to just
travel to Troy and sell their crops.
Cousin
Clarence deserves much credit for his work on the
Brooks family tree. Our Hans Brooke came
from Holland with a
french wife and settled in Pennsylvania, having four
children. Son John was found on the 1860 census of
Giles Tennessee where he married and began a family
but he also died young of tuberculosis and his wife
remarried.
Even though we all studied history as
children, only now do I realize how harshly the
epidemics harmed our families. There were very few
doctors, and even less money to pay them, so most
families made their own tonics or salves and tried to
heal their own. Also we begin to realize that our own
ancestors were the indians who lost their lands during
the Trail or Tears and that we also had ancestors
serving in the American Revolution. We had ancestors
in the Civil War with some in the Union and some in
the Confederacy. There is a documented soldier or
patiot in most of my surnames of this
lineage.
Years ago when I first started this family
tree, I downloaded a Cochran file online and thanks to
Richard for his hard work on my Dad's lineage and the
rest is my own labor of love. I took what Richard had
posted on rootsweb and began my own census search to
verify each family in the line and found even more to
add, especially the Jacob Cochran file I received from
cousin Chuck. Soon my little family tree became an
addiction to genealogy.
I have met many new cousins
on the internet and shared stories and pictures. Much
of my research has been found on usgenweb and the lds
websites and I do thank my Bozeman cousins for meeting
with me on 5/2/2007 and helping us find the grave of
Peter Edward Bozeman. I have visited many cemeteries
and ordered death certificates to prove my
lineage.Elisha Anderson's will was probated in
Montgomery 1834, Several marriage licenses and estate
sales, even confederate applications. The first Peter
Bozeman born 1758 has letters filed here in 1828 where
he wrote to the revolutionary office.
Many books
have been written about our families and my own book
sits on my desk and is being added to each day but
will never be published.
When I reesrched the
Westbrook families of Marengo County, I found Moses
Westbrook and son James came from North Carolina and
James might have died in the Civil
War.

The
Westbrook Cemetery, on Highway 28, west of Jefferson,
was in bad condition, the marble slabs broken,
standing stones crumbling. Lucretia Norris and David
Compton, determined to preserve these evidences of a
pioneer family, enlisted the help of descendants to
have the stones moved to the Jefferson cemetery and
repaired. A stone was erected to Moses, and they may
be seen in the south section of the cemetery.

Marengo County was created by
the Alabama Territorial legislature on 1818 Feb. 6,
from land acquired from the Choctaw Indians by the
treaty of 1816 Oct. 24. The name of the county was
suggested by Judge
Abner
Lipscombe, and was given as a compliment to the first
white settlers, expatriated French citizens and
commemorative of Napoleon's great victory at Marengo
over the Austrian armies on 1800 June 14.
Marengo County is situated in the west-central
part of the state. It is bordered by Hale, Greene,
Perry, Dallas, Wilcox, Clarke, Choctaw and Sumter
counties. The county seat was originally known as
"Town of Marengo." In 1823 the name was changed to
Linden, a shortened version of "Hohenlinden," scene of
a French victory in Bavaria in 1800. Other towns and
communities include Demopolis, where French
expatriates settled and formed the Vine and Olive
Colony, Myrtlewood and Sweet Water. Courthouse fires
occurred in 1848 and 1965.
