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.

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.
