SHAKING YOUR FAMILY TREE: QUERIES 21-40
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.

CLARK/GRAVES/TANNER
I am trying to locate data on and the place of burial of Lucy Effie Clark
(or Clarke)(maiden name Tanner), death date sometime around 1967 and her
husband John Clark. I am told they lived some where between Decatur and
Moulton. Also, I'm looking for the same information on her children by her first
marriage, Jasper Graves and Clyde Graves. I believe one of them died in
Morgan County in 1995. ANY help anyone could give me on this would be greatly appreciated.

HORSEY
I am looking for the gravesite for Thomas Horsey. He is shown on the 1850
census for Somerville as "Thomas Hofsey" and Ancestry.com translated it to
be "Hossey." The census shows that he was born in Alabama. The family has
his wife as Rachel. On the census it looks like Rahsmith - and I don't know
how you get Rachel out of that. Their son is Smith and one year old at the
time. I see on the 1860 census that Thomas is not listed. There is a
woman, the age of his mother, and a sister named Margaret. They are still
in Morgan County. The post office is Ivy Bluff and this time the name is
spelled "Hosey." In 1870 Smith had moved to Blount County and a few years
later moved on to Arkansas. I am assuming that Thomas was buried in the area of
Somerville. Rahsmith was born in Tennessee and I have been wondering if she
might have been Indian. Thomas and Rahsmith must have married late in late
because they are 30 years on the 1850 census and Smith is only one. That
would make Thomas to be born about 1820.

BENNETT/ARLINGTON
My grandparents lived around Eva, Alabama. My parents retired to Eva in 1974,
(now deceased). I am looking for information on my grandparents Robert Lee
Bennett and Aida Arlington. It is my understanding that they originally lived
in South Alabama and move to the Eva area after some type of conflict.
Contacts within my family can only get me back two generations.
Any information or a source of information would be appreciated.

WALLACE/MCDONALD/PARKER
I have worked on several Morgan Co. families since I married in 1967. My mother
in law, Ruby Nelle Harvey Brasher was born in Falkville. Her parents were John
Hobart Harvey and Ruby Gordon Evans. I am willing to share anything I have on her
ancestral families: Harvey, Wallace, Clark, McDonald, Evans, Sams, Arnold,
Chamblee, Breedlove, Kent, Epperson, Grubbs, Parker, and some associated
families, such as Compton, Summerford, etc.I am stumped on several lines:
(1) Mary Jane Wallace, b. 21 June 1846 with parents J.A. Wallace and Sarah N. I
have not been able to identify J. A. or find Sarah's maiden name.
(2) Rev. William A. McDonald, b. 7 Feb 1825 and wife Malinda Grubbs had dau
Margaret A. McDonald. William had brothers Robert and Lafayette, but I can not
find their parents.
(3) William Parker, b. 1791 and wife Mary had dau Christina Evans, b. 1825/6.
Christina married Edmond R. Evans, a son of Josiah Evans, who was a son of Owen
Evans, Rev War, buried in Madison Co. Christina and others were buried at
Ebeneezer Ch. Cem. at Leesdale. I can not connect William's family with at least
6 other Parker families living in Morgan Co. area in the 1830's.
I appreciate any help and am always interested in helping others.
Carson Thompson
THOMPSON
My grandfather line was Joseph Thompson who was father of Isaac N. Thompson
who was father of Isaac F. Thompson who was the father of John Lile Thompson.
Isaac F. and John Lile moved to Oklahoma about 1890. John Lile was the father
of my father - Silas Thompson.Our family lore has it that one of my grandfathers married a woman who owned a
plantation in Morgan County near Decatur - maybe Trinity, Alabama. This bit of
history is not confirmed - thought you might give us some direction on how to
research this. We also want to know when and why my family left Alabama for Oklahoma.
The Thompson family had a very close connection to the Bynum family in Alabama.
I am also curious about what happened in this part of Alabama during the Civil
War, and if my family fought in the war. Thanks for any assistance you can
provide.

MEANS
I am seeking the parents of my gg grandmother Rutha Means, McMinis who was born in
TN in approximately 1817. She married Elias Craft in 1835 in Morgan County,
Alabama. Rutha is said to have been Cherokee. There is some speculation that
Rutha may have been Orman's daughter. Do you have a list of Orman's and Mary's
children? I truly appreciate any information.

only name we have for her is Dollie or Pendolie. She died in Alabama in 1930,and

three counties one her name was Pendolie and the other it was Dolie or Dollie.

HUDSON
I am trying to find the parents of Mary Hudson, born abt. 1827, married
Asberry Henson Feb 12, 1843 in Marshall County AL, then lived in Falkville,
Morgan County AL in 1860 and 1870. I think it is possible that her father was
Alexander Hudson. Her mother's name was Joanah Hudson (born VA about 1798).
There was an Alexander Hudson in Marshall County in the 1840 census.
Does anyone have any information on Mary Hudson or on Alexander Hudson?
