I'm desperately trying to find information on my grandfather's side of the family. My GF was Willie Hobbs aka W H Hobbs although he had no middle name the family, as it was common to do back then...used the last name as the middle initial. His father was Ed Hobbs or E Hobs aka Edward Hobbs. Ed was originally from Georgia as were his parents and he was killed by a train October 21, 1911 here in Houston county; Dothan, AL. His funeral was conducted at Selma Baptist but they have no records of anything. Ed was married to a May-Lula (we were always told her name was Mary) on the 1910 census and had stepchildren of "Tenley" although their names were Andrew aka Ander and Noah Finely / Fenley. Ed apparently had a son named James (grown child and perhaps he is the son listed on the 1910 census. Nontheless....I've been going in circles for YEARS and finding no one with any information.

Samuel C. & Louisa SPRAYBERRY Clark

sissybear01 — 2 Dec 2007 12:10:00 GMT

I am trying to find-out information on my cousins Samuel C. & Louisa SPRAYBERRY Clark.

As of right now all I know is: Cousin Samuel was born about 1816-1817 in South Carolina to Uncle Samuel & Aunt Susan MASTERS Clark who moved to Henry County, Georgia by 1830 (they lived in both Henry & Meriwether Counties). Cousin Louisa was born to unknown Sprayberry's, well unknown to me currently but I am sure her line ties into that of my sixth great-grandfather Archibald Sprayberry. I believe Samuel & Louisa were in Talladega County, Alabama for the 1860 census but with initials being used & not being able to find them in Georgia or 'Bama in 1850 I cannot be positive (though Sprayberry's were moving from Georgia to 'Bama during this time period). In 1880 they are in Clay County.

Their children:
B A Clark DAUGHTER born about 1838 Georgia
S M Clark SON born about 1840 Georgia
R J Clark DAUGHTER born about 1841 Georgia
S Clark SON born about 1844 Georgia
J S Clark SON born about 1846 Georgia
J Clark DAUGHTER born about 1850 Georgia
J H M V Clark SON born about 1852 Georgia
Mary L. Clark born about 1853
A A Clark DAUGHTER born about 1854 Georgia
Samuel J. Clark born about 05 December 1856 married Mary S. CROWLEY

Any information in regard to Cousin Samuel & Cousin Louisa would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You,
Lena

African-American Family History Posted

Stephen_Townsend — 3 Jun 2007 7:58:39 GMT

With my family tree on Ancestry.com, I have posted the history of my family from Clay, Coosa, Talladega and Tallapoosa Counties with the following primary surnames: Dunn, Gaddis, Haines, Hancock, Hughes and Todd.

Many of my ancestors were slaves, but I have not been able to confirm the names of their owners. One family to whom my family is that of John and Emily Demaris Hughes Clisby. Their son, George Clinton, had a child with my great-great-grandmother, Hester Haines Hughes, who was a slave to the Clisbys. “Hettie,” as she was called, was also a nurse-midwife and delivered many children in Tallapoosa and Coosa Counties, including several of her grandchildren.

My great-great-grandparents, Henry Hancock and Mary Dunn Hancock, were slaves in Tallapoosa County, Alabama and lived in Hackneyville.

Some of my Todd relatives left Russell County, Alabama following Emancipation. They landed in Hackneyville. They married into the Gaddis and Murray families there. They left about 1915 to go to Birmingham.

My family is huge, so I encourage everyone to review the family history. There just might be a connection -- Black, white or Native American.

Will Stone & Brooks Family In 1870 Clay Co., AL

AZ_LIL_OWL — 29 Mar 2005 4:08:46 GMT

I'm trying to identify the parents of my 2nd great grandfather, William A. Stone, b: Sept 1862 in Alabama. My William A. Stone married Martha Martina Royster, and his parents were supposedly born in GA.

I have located a Will Stone, age 7, m, w, born in AL, in the 1870 Clay Co., AL Census. He's living with the Allen Brooks family. There is also a Martha Stone, age 23, f, w, born in GA, living with this family.

The very next family following them in the Census is another Brooks family. It's Abraham Brooks, age 75, m w, farmer, from NC. He has a Lucinda Brooks living with him, at age 63, f, w, keeping house, born in GA. <--- I found this interesting since the Allen Brooks (age 66, m, w, miller, born in SC, "also" has a "Lucenda Brooks" (age 63, f, w, keeping house, born in GA), living with him and she has the very same info about her on the census as the other Lucinda does.

This Will Stone's information fits my William A. Stone. Can anyone tell me anything about the two Brooks families, or the Martha & Will Stone? Are Martha & Will, mother & son, or could they be siblings, cousins, etc?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ollie Bell (Causey?) White (cross-posted from White Surname Board)

DonaldCulberson — 16 Dec 2006 5:37:26 GMT

I am looking for information on the ancestry of my great grandmother Ollie Bell. I believe that her maiden name was Causey but am not absolutely certain. According to census materials and grave marker info, she was born in Alabama, county uncertain, in 1882 and died in Tallapoosa Co., AL in 1960. She married John H. White (b 1878, Clay County, AL, d 1953, son of John R. and Mary B. White)) in 1899 or 1900 in Clay County where they subsequently lived and produced 7 children:
Leslie, b c1903 (Married "Uncle Claude", surname unknown)
Vera Naomi, b c1906 (married Culberson)(my grandmother)
Buford, b c1907
Vinita, b c1910 (married Shaw)
Lois, b c1913 (married Sparks)
Homer, b c1917
Ruth, b c1921 (married Benton)

Leslie, Vinita, Buford, and Homer all settled in the Sanford Florida area. The others stayed in and around east cental Alabama. I have a bounty of photographs of my great grandparents and their children, the 5 girls never got together without taking a group photo, but essentially nothing about my great grandmother's family prior to her marriage.

Are there any relatives out there with more information?
