MORGAN COUNTY, ALABAMA
SHAKING YOUR FAMILY TREE: QUERIES 1999
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. If you aren't sure what part of Alabama your relative was born, died or resided in, might I suggest checking the Alabama Federal Census Index, usually located at your local library or Historical Society or Genealogical Society for the time frames before and after the one you think they would be in. 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.
Once the queries have been archived for a year, I do not pull them back into my computer.
So if you change your email address please send me a new query.
To submit a query email Kathy
The Morgan County Surnames page serves as a name index to the queries. Surnames 1999

WILSON/CROSBY
Seeking any information that will help me identify
the names of my Wilson gg grandparents. I need any information regarding a
possible marriage between an unknown WILSON lady (my gg gmother) to H. H.
CROSBY. Time frame would be 1850-1870. My great grandfather, Abram/Abraham
WILSON, was living in Morgan County in 1870. He was underage to marry and needed
to have a document signed giving permission for the marriage. It was signed by
H. H. CROSBY and S.E. CROSBY. I'm trying to prove that Abe's mother had married
a 2nd time to this CROSBY gentleman and that he was Abram's stepfather. This
could account for the document being signed by someone other than Abe's father.
If any WILSON or CROSBY researcher has information about such a marriage, please
contact me. I'm running out of places to look. 20114 Nightbird Trail Crosby, Texas 77532

Thanks for any information on these family names, most were from Morgan
County.
Looking for information on my Grandmother Lucy Ann BAIN OAKS, May have
been Lucy Elizabeth Ann BAIN, nick name (Diecy), Family records not very
clear. Born February 23, 1846 in Morgan County, Died on January 24, 1890
in Cullman County. Lucy Ann BAIN married Isaac Columbus OAKS on January
13, 1864.
Who was her Mother and Father? I've been told they were William and Sarah
MORTON BAIN.
We think she was Indian or part white, maybe all white or at least raised
by white people.
Isaac C. and Lucy Ann had 13 Children, some Born In Morgan Co, The Rest
Born In Cullman Co.
Isaac C. OAKS, the younger of at least 4 sons of James Wilson and Nancy
C. Blanton OAKES.
James Wilson OAKES born on June 12, 1800, died on February 26, 1885 and
Nancy C. BLANTON born on May 27, 1807, died on April 15, 1878 were
Married on October 26, 1823 in the old Cotaco County Alabama (later named
Morgan County in honor of one of the Morgan family members) they remained
in Morgan Co. Both buried in Key Cemetery in Morgan County at Gandy's
Cove, East of Falkville Alabama. James Wilson and Nancy C. Blanton OAKES
had at least 6 daughters.
Would like to hear from descendants of the the following great aunts and
uncles (grandfather's sisters, brothers). These People were in an area
from Oakes Hollow to Gandy's Cove in Morgan County, Just East of
Falkville Alabama. Margaret Malachi OAKES married Murdoch McKenzie
HOLMES on October 26, 1853. Jane OAKES married William COZBY on October
7, 1856. Mary C. OAKES married James V. COSBY on February 19, 1854.
Sarah E. OAKES married John T. DRINKARD on December 23, 1858. I have no
marriage record on Cathorine and Malinda OAKES. James Wilson and Nancy
C. Blanton OAKES had at least 4 sons. John OAKES married Harriet J REA
March 14, 1889, son or grandson?, family records not clear. Samuel J.
OAKES married Amanda C. BAKER on September 16, 1865. Joshua OAKES married
Mary E. HOMES on February 6, 1857, (Mary's E HOLMES' father seems to have
been A.J. HOLMES). Isaac Columbus OAKES married Lucy Ann BAIN on January
13, 1864.
Joshua and Mary E OAKS, Isaac C. and Lucy Ann OAKS Moved to Cullman Co.
before 1880.
Civil war records changed the spelling OAKES to OAKS, in this area they
are the same family.
Hope to hear from descendants, of the the following aunts and uncles (my
father's sisters, brother) most of these people were born in Morgan
County and married in Cullman County Alabama.
Ella E Oaks and Caleb KING married February 11, 1886. Emily E. (Jennie)
Oaks and Sidney E. HAYS, married August 24, 1890. Aunt Jennie and Uncle
Sidney Hays had at least 5 children 4 (known) girls: Georgia, Harvy,
Emma, Annie, and I think 1 named Susie, 1 boy: Henry, who had at least 1
child, a daughter and maybe a son. Joanna T OAKS and Tramby L
LIVINGSTON, married Oct 30, 1890. They had a son named Leo. Charley C
OAKS, no one remembers if Uncle Charley was ever married, I think he was,
he died at age 23. Mollie Coffer OAKS and WW ALLEN married Dec 13,
1902. They had at least 1 child. Eunice ALLEN daughter of Mollie Oaks
and WW Allen Is buried in Lawrence Chapel Cemetery at Fairview AL, beside
her mom.
Mollie Oaks Allen died January 31, (family records say 1906, head stone
says 1904)? and Eunice 1902-1906, has fresh flowers on their graves, so I
think some one knows of them. I would like to meet these family members
of aunt Mollie Oaks ALLEN.
Any help in locating my cousins will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
My grandmother Lucy Ann BAIN OAKS died on January 24, 1890, when my
father was 10 months old. My grandfather remarried later that year to
Mary Josephine KELLER from Blunt Co. on August 21, 1890. They had 9 more
children, in the fall of 1900 they moved to Rogersville in Lauderdale
County, North Alabama where their last two sons were born , a few years
later they moved to Ethridge TN. near Lawrenceburge. I knew the aunts
and uncles that moved to TN. Isaac C. and Mary J Keller OAKS are buried there. Most of their children and grandchildren remain in this area. 512, 16th Terrace NW Birmingham AL 35215
