TVGS MEETING, July 1968The regular bi-monthly meeting of the Tennessee Valley

Genealogical Society was held July 11 at the Huntsville Public Library, with the president, A, E. Terry presiding. Following the business meeting, Mrs. Richard H. Gilliam, Jr. introduced as speaker of the evening Dr. Frances Roberts, professor of history and chairman of the Department of History at the University of Alabama. Dr. Roberts received her B3 degree from Livingston College, a masters degree and Phd„ from the University of Alabama; she taught history in the public schools of Huntsville until she joined the staff of the University of Alabama in 1952. At present, Dr. Roberts is president of the Alabama Historical Association, member of the board of the Buritt Museum, member of the board of the Twickenham Historical Preservation Association, and consultant for the Madison County Court House.

In her speech,"Research in Mississippi Territorial Papers at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History," Dr. Roberts stated that she began that particular search to determine just how Madison County was created, and how it developed politically, socially, and economically over a period of sixty years, She began with Carter's "Territorial Papers of Mississippi" (Volume 13 which pertains to Madison County, now Alabama) which lead ultimately to the papers that dealt with Alabama Territory. The group was advised that some of this material is on microfilm in Montgomery but that to really delve into all aspects of Madison County development, one should go to Jackson, Mississippi, because so much information can be had from searching the official documents and finding additional documents other than those for which you were searching.

Dr. Roberts stressed two points. There is a science to research. "You must map out a plan." She suggested that a searcher start with available sources; consider footnotes, go to the original point where documents are stored; move to the place where clues tell you to go; and when you take notes, "put down the source. There is an art to research. You must know how to put the bits and peices together." Illustrating that there can be five or six people living in the same place, at the same time, with the same names and not be related at all, she gave several specifics in the early history of this county. Dr. Roberts stated that tax records can substantiate time lines and that a searcher must know how to evaluate what he finds and be able to prove himself wrong as well as right!

In conclusion, Dr. Roberts informed the Society that Belle and Howe, Ann Arbor, Michigan, is microfilming old newspapers and old books at a very reasonable price and that catalogs may be received upon request to Belle and Howe.

During the business meeting, officers for the coming year were elected. The next meeting of TVGS will be September 12.

MARRIAGE BOOK TWO MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA

The following is a copy of the records contained in Madison County, Alabama Marriage Book Two as now deposited in the Court House Record Room, Huntsville, Alabama.

It is generally agreed that Marriage Book Two is a somewhat inaccurate copy of the original which is lost. It is quite obvious that many pages are missing and that names are inaccurats since the same name is often spelled three different ways on one page, This interpretation of the script was compared with the old index downstairs (D) in the History Room, itself probably a copy and incomplete. Another comparison was made with the upstairs index (U) found in the Record Room. Only when the indexes varied were notations made. Marriages were omitted in both indexes.. Minor differences in spelling of first names were not noted. In some cases, the same marriages seemed to be recorded again in Marriage Book Three. These duplications are noted for the convenience'of anyone desiring to make further comparisons.

Mrs. Howard Jones, an experienced Alabama genealogist wrote shortly before her death a few notations about this marriage book (K.,J„), She wrote, "The minister so often mentioned as T,, M Baker is the Rev. Zadok W. Baker, a Baptist preacher."

Marriage bonds were signed by Henry Minor, R. 0. C.,Wm„ H« Winston, R0 0. C., or Thomas Brandon, C. C. C.

Every variation of spelling for bride's, groom's, and bondsmen's names is included in the index of this volume.Prepared by Mrs. Roy J. Cochran, 1967-1968, Huntsville, AlabamaL. - LicensedS. = SoleminizedD. = Downstairs index (The old one in the history room.)U. =® Upstairs index (1809-1920 index used in the record room.)K.J.= Kathleen Jones (Mrs. Howard) notations, or = Names written both ways on bond,and = Names written both ways in index.1. & 2.

TVG3 MEETING, September 1968

The marking of all family photographs with names and dates for posterity was advised at this TVGS meeting,, Mr. W.H. Jenkins of Decatur, Alabama told the group that he found an old family album recently, but was unable to identify the relatives since the photos were not marked.,

Mr. Jenkins suggested that beginners in genealogy begin investigation in the immediate family, later contacting eldest living relatives, He said the next step is to check public records such as wills, deed, censuses and tax lists,, Cemeteries can then be inspected,. As a genealogist progresses in a search for data, maps become quite useful and he recommended the elaborate collection in the map room of the Birmingham public library,

Mr. Jenkins belongs to the Alabama Historical Society and the North Alabama Genealogical Society, of which he is president,

TVG3 MEETING, November 1968 'Dr, L.. Wayne Johnson spoke on ’The Use of Maps in Genealogy"

at the November meeting of TVGS., Dr, Johnson was born in Winfield, Kansas, received his PhD at Princeton University, Prior to his retirement, he was a professor and head of the mathematics department at Oklahoma State, At his retirement he accepted an appointment as professor of mathematics at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He is a member of the Oklahoma Genealogical Society, the Oklahoma and Kansas Historical Society and TVGS.

Dr, Johnson gave an interesting talk on maps in genealogy.He described many commonly available sources of maps such as maps at gasoline stations, State Highway Department maps and the U. So Geological maps. The later maps show information useful to genealogists such as churches, cemeteries, communities, and even residences, Some maps are free and those that aren't are very inexpensive.

The grid system by which unsettled lands Were surveyed and divided into townships were described. He pointed out that topographical maps which show geographical features such as streams, hills and valleys are frequently used in locating a parcel of land described in some ancestors will or deed.. Older maps which can be found in libraries sometimes show early immigrant trails west and provide many clues in looking for traces of migrating families. Tract books which show the original grantees of all Alabama lands by counties are available in each county Probate Judge's office. These tract books are most helpful in determining when the first ancestor came into the state.

Dr. Johnson's enthusiasm for maps was quite infectious.NEW OFFICERS; Mrs. Cecil Fain and Mrs. William L. Crump, Sr. have been elected to the Board of Directors. Mrs. James T. Powell is recording secretary upon resignation of Mrs. Shenk.

MADISON COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI TERRITORY TAX LISTS 1810, 1811, 1812, 1813, 1815

This series was discontinued after Part IV when microfilm of the original records became available, thus permitting a more detailed study. The list was republished in its entirety in Valley Leaves. Vol. 4, #4, June 1970.

The Madison County, Mississippi Territory Tax Lists are located in the Department of Archives and History in Jackson, Mississippi. Dr., Frances Roberts ©f Huntsville, Alabama has allowed the Tennessee Valley Genealogical Society to use her copy of these lists in making the following compilation. Mrs.F„ Edward Williams of Huntsville alphabetized all of the lists and they are presented here as a guide in locating the early residents of Madison County, Alabama,, It is suggested that anyone desiring absolute authority and more information consult the original records in Mississippi. The 1810 Tax List has been compared with similar lists made by Mr. Richard S. Lackey of Forest, Mississippi and the late Mrs. Howard C. Jones, Sr, of Huntsville Alabama.

An "'X” indicates that the person paid tax on property for that year. The number of "'X's" indicates the number of returns made in that name for the year, either the same person or two men with the same name. As is common in most oid records,there is a variation in spelling of names. There were no taxreturns in 1814.NAME 1310 1811 1812 1313 1315ABERNATHY, DAVID X X XABURNATHY, DAVID XACKLIN, ALEXANDER S XACKLIN, JOSEPH X X X XACKLIN, RALPH XACKLIN, SAMUEL X X X X XADAIR, JAMES XADAIR, WILLIAM X X XXADAM, WILLIAM XADAMS, FRANCIS XADAMS, GEORGE XADAMS, ISAAC X X XADAMS, JOHN xADAMS, JONATHAN XADAMS, JOSEPH X X X X XADAMS, LITTLEBURY XX X X X XADAMS, THOMAS X X XADAN, WILLIAM XADARE, WILLIAM XADARES, WILLIAM XADAY, LEVI XAD I SR, JAMES X

Died near Hatton, Ala. on April 5, 1896 Bro. Jeptha West at the advanced age of nearly 9 3 years. He was born July 25, 1803.Bro. West came to Ala. from Ga. He joined the Missionary Baptist Church at Town Creek in the year 1334 or 35 and was elected Deacon of said Church. He lived so far as I know a consistent member of the Church. He was considered by those who know him as one of the most loyal and honorable citizens of this country. As the sun shot forth its brilliant rays I looked through the glass of the beautiful coffin and taking into consid eration his age, he was the finest specimen of humanity that my eyes ever beheld. His wife has been dead 33 years. There were born unto them 7 children. The girls all married good farmers that rank among the best citizens of Lawrence Co. I will give their names; M. A. Gray, Jonathan Sandlin, W. H. Young, W. R. Turner and James Ponder. They had 2 sons, W. B. West was a Captain in the Confederate Army, J. R. West was a physician.Our brother has gone to the bright clime above where all is joy, peace and love.

NOTICE!It has come to our attention that the Herrin(g) Cemetery,

Morgan Co., Ala., which was published in the September 1968 issue Valley Leaves, was a partial listing. Please make this nota

tion in your copy of Vol. 3, No. 1. There are, I understand, a large number of tombstones not included in this list. Perhaps the partial inventory will aid in locating other graves there. This cemetery is one of a number of cemeteries compiled by Mr. James 0. Vassar of Decatur, Ala. Mr. Vassar is now deceased, and rather than exclude his work, we will note that any of his cemeteries may be incomplete.

TVGS MEETING, JANUARY 23, 1969The Huntsville Public Library. The regular bi-monthly meeting

date was changed to the fourth Thursday of the month. Mrs.Richard Ho Gilliam, Jr. announced that on a trip to the Department of Archives and History in Montgomery, Alabama she had located the following original Madison County records on deposit in the newspaper rooms Superior Court Appearance Docket, 1311-1316, Orphans Court Minutes 1810-1819, Superior Court of Law and Equity Minutes 1810-1812, and 1811-1819 (two books), and an untitled book with the first thirty-four pages missing probably a Register of Estate Settlements 1818-1819.Mrs. Robert L„ DeYoung, Sr., speaker, shared with the group

her knowledge of the records in the Madison County Court House. Books available from the year 1809 to the present are Marriages, Estates, Orphans Court Records (until 1850 when Probate Court Records begin), Deeds (containing wills and other material also), and Plat Books. Many other books and newspapers are available.Mr. Wesley S. Thompson reviewed his book, The Free State of

Winston, a history of Winston County, Ala. Winston County was unique in the fact that it seceded from the state of Alabama when Alabama seceded from the Union.Members of the newly-formed North Alabama Genealogical

Society of Decatur, Ala., presented their quarterly, Trails.* * * * * * * * * * *SOUTH CAROLINA-ALABAMA MIGRATION

The Huntsville News, 5 February 1969, page 4, Reader's Write; "Editor, Huntsville News, Dear Sir;Many of the early settlers of Alabama were natives of South

Carolina; therefore, we have a common bond of interest. Such hearty emigrants as John Gayle, Andrew B. Moore, James E. Belser, Franklin W. Bowdon, and Dr. J. Marion Sims left their home state of South Carolina and migrated to Alabama where they made a significant contribution in the state's development.

In anticipation of South Carolina's three hundredth anniversary celebration in 1970, the Tricentennial Commission is currently gathering as much material as possible on significant family and group migrations in the 1800's. Your assistance, and that of your readers, would greatly benefit our tracing of migration patterns. We would like to know the names of those who left South Carolina, when and where they departed, and where they settled. Evidence of such interesting Carolinians who settled your area should be sent to; Research Department, South Carolina Tricentennial Commission, Box 1970, Columbia, South Carolina 29202.We look forward to hearing from you in the near future and

having you visit our three exposition centers in 1970. Thank you for your interest and cooperation.

Sincerely, (Miss) Nancy Vance Ashmore, Writer-Researcher."

I personally node (knew) him for Twenty years and I wille tell you of a truth that I never saw any thing by him deshonest or unvirtous. He laid down Earley, got up earley, and attended to his own buisness.He had no buisness at evry publick place nor he wod (would) not go unless buisness call him thare. When in companey he had nothing to do with fighting and Quorling and gambling. He

I must come to a close on this Subject though I am in hops (hopes) that if I shold not live to council with you my children that when you redde (read) this, and my far will (farewell) advise (advice) to you that you wille indever for the sake of my sake and of your Grand Father, to pay serious hed (heed) these things which I have in deavored to leave behind for your instruction as they are from your dearest friend in this life.Your Grand,Father left to his estate perfict satisfaction and I am the youngest Child. He had given them all equal justis and $7500.00 worth of land and one negro, hors (horse), cow and then left an estate worth Twenty one or two Thousand Dollars and Departed this life the 18 day of August about nine oclock in the night after a short an attact of siven days of Putride Bilious fever and lived about forty Eight years of his life in perfect health, He was borne in January the 15 1773And so ends the History of man my sons though I have no dout (doubt) but he is happy in the Eturnal World where you and I must be and my Children we must be preparde for it or be forever lost.

(End)Written by Charles Waite Strong, who was a son of George Strong. George Strong was born Jan. 15, 1773, Goochland Co., Va. and died Aug. 18, 1834, Madison Co,, Ala.; married June 6 1797 in Goochland Co., Va. to Mary (Polly) East who was born May 24, 1774, Goochland Co., Va. and died Feb. 18, 1842, Madison Co., Ala.Charles W. Strong was born Aug. 11, 1804, Goochland Co„, Va. and died Feb. 23, 1871, Madison Co., Ala.; married Oct. 10, 1828 in Madison Co., Ala. to Didama Allison Humphrey who was born July 2, 1806, Bedford Co., Va. and died Jan. 25, 1878, Madison Co,Ala. Note; The original paper in the handwriting of Charles W. Strong was for many, many years in the possession of Miss Willie McClellan, a granddaughter of Charles Strong. Miss Willie lived alone and died in 1955 at an advanced age. Noone knows what happened to the original paper, but most likely it was inadvertently destroyed when Miss Willie's house was "cleaned out" after her death. Mr. Thompson R. Kelly, a great grandson of Charles Strong, made this typed copy from the original paper in 1950, "being very careful to copy it exactly as it was written," he said. To make this
