Has anyone surveyed the HARRIS Cemetery? I visited this small family cemetery with my father,
Carter Bartly Strickland, several years ago, where he showed me his cousin's grave. The cemetery was on a flat of a hill near Walter Wilkerson's place. We took a road in front of Pat Wilkerson's place - west. I am not even sure whether it was in Walker or Fayette Co., AL, but I think it was in Kansas, Walker County. The graves were:

The Rev. T. M. Harris
September 29, 1833
September 26, 1902

Adeline Harris (w/o of the Rev. T. M. Harris)
June 14, 1849
April 1922

Celia E. Harris (Celia Emaline Aldridge, s/o Parks Minard Harris)
September 2, 1896
March 29, 1925

Note: Celia Emanline Aldridge was a daughter of James Willis Aldridge and Frances Elizabeth Strickland. She died in childbirth with the birth of her daughter, Edna Elmmaline Harris, who was adopted by Griffith Houston Johnson, her mother's second cousin.

I think I recall that there was a child of Celia's buried there:

Royce Harris
February 27, 1920
January 7, 1922

There were no more graves than those four.

Parks Minard Harris, remarried and is buried with second wife somewhere else. He had other children by first wife, Celia; e.i., Albert, Lorene, and Cleburn Harris; but I have no further information on them or where they were buried.

I'm Looking for a Mourning Stewart. She may have been married to someone else before marriage to my GG Grandfather William Barefield. On her tombstone in Pontotoc County, MS, it states Mourning Stewart Barefield, so she was either a Stewart by a previous marriage, or this is her Maiden name. She was born 05-31-1826 in Georgia and died in Pontotoc, MS. Her husband
William Barefield was born 02-10-1815 in Hancock County GA. Any help on Mourning would be appreciated Peggy A. Young 10-28-2004

Searching for info. regarding a Robert WILLIAMS wife Sarah shown as follows on Walker Co. 1850 Census

WILLIAMS,  Robert   50  NC  farmer

Sarah     49  SC

Stephen  22  SC

Elizabeth 18  SC

Nancy      16  SC

Harriet      13  SC

Samantha  6  Al

I'm wondering for this Robert could have been a twin brother of my John H. Williams, who was also found on this census.  Another connection of mine was listed there also..William J. Myers and wife Sarah. Bev Wallace 10-31-2004

September Queries:

Wonder if anyone on the list has any info on William A. Goad and Martha J. Burkett who married in Walker County 27 APR 1879; were listed on the 1880 census with William as age 20 and Martha age 24. Then I cant find them again until 1910 when I find Martha, supposedly married 3 times and still a Goad. She appears to be farming the same farm they were on in 1880. William is a brother to my great grandmother Elsie Goad Tidwell, and a son of William A. Goad and Elizabeth Jackson. Elizabeth was widowed before 1870 and then she married Wm C Romine before 1880. Other siblings were Adelaide(or Adeline?), David and Richard.
Thanks
