SHAKING YOUR FAMILY TREE: QUERIES 1-20
I invite you to enter a query for your Morgan County ancestors but because of our limited space, please limit to only Morgan County ancestors.

Enter your query information exactly as you want it to appear including the name of the county in case of misdirection with one exception, please enter the surnames in capital letters. Every effort will be made to post your queries as soon as possible.

HARRIS/GLASSCOCK
My maternal great-grandmother's name was Minnie C. Pierce Harris, and I

grandmother) was named Johnnie Joy Harris Glasscock and lived from
1892-1970 in Hartselle, AL and is buried at Bethel Baptist Cemetery. I
am trying to find information about that grandmother's lineage.

KITCHENS
I have a picture from your newspapers series "Looking Back" that is identified
under the picture as "Family Affair". It is a Kitchens family of a father J H
Doc Kitchens, and his nine sons. They are all members of the "Masons" at Mt Zion
Lodge # 542. The picture appears to be early 1900's but their "regalia" could be
deceiving. I would love any Kitchens information you might have of any of these
men. My family tree records go back to the 1700', beginning in Maryland and PA.
Indications of a few of the men moving to Alabama gives me hope in finding more
family. Thank you for your wonderful efforts, I admire you for helping those of
us that can not research your area like I would like to!!I appreciate your help!

Herbert E. McCutcheon in 1917 in Morgan, Co. I have 3 McCutcheon relatives that

HUCKABY
I am still trying to locate Jerome Huckaby. I think I have found out
pretty close to where he live or was living. I strongly feel that he is in
Hartselle, Ala. I can't get a street address for his home address. He may go by
Jerome L or Jerome Lewis Huckaby. He is around 48 to 50 years of age. If there
is anyway you can help me, it will be appreciated very much. I really would be
able to help him find his grandmother's burial place. I know which county here
in Tennesse she was laid to rest and the name of the cemetery. Thank you in
advance for any and all information you can supply me with.

I am researching my GGGrandfather, Jesse H. Davis. He is listed in the 1840
Morgan County Census. In that census there were only 3 townships. Decatus,
Regiment 39, and Regiment 6. My ancestor was in the Regiment 39 group. I have
been stumped for years trying to find more info on him. Does anybody know what
Regiment 39 is? I am hopeful that if I can find out more about it I can uncover
