alabama 1850 agricultural and manufacturing census volume 1 for dale, dallas, dekalb, fayette, franklin, greene, hancock, and henry counties
The year 1850 brought a new kind of census. Not only was it the first US Census to name all people in a household on the regular US Census, but this was the first time the Agricultural and Manufacturing Census was taken on a widespread basis. Although this second census names only head of household, often times when an individual was missed on the regular census, they would appear on either of these two census reports. Unfortunately, many of these Agricultural and Manufacturing Census records have not survived. But, those that did survive yield unique information about how people lived. Information includes: name of owner; improved acreage; unimproved acreage; cash value of the farm; value of farm implements and machinery; and value of livestock.

alabama and mississippi connections: historical and biographical sketches of families on both sides of the tombigbee river
Mrs. Jacobson here focuses upon families who settled along the Tombigbee River, an area which today occupies all or part of the Alabama counties of Marion, Fayette, Lamar, Tuscaloosa, Greene, Pickens, and Sumter and the Mississippi counties of Lee, Itawamba, Monroe, Webster, Clay, Choctaw, Oktibbeha, Lowndes, Winston, and Noxubee. She covers the founding of each of the seventeen counties comprising the Tombigbee River area, with references to the regions indigenous Creeks, Chocktaws, Chickasaws, and Cherokees; the phases of French, Spanish, and British settlement; and the consolidation of the region under U.S. control following the War of 1812. Doubtless of greatest interest to researches will be the authors genealogical and biographical essays on twenty-two pioneer families of the region.

alabama: her history, resources, war record, and public men from 1540 to 1872
This is a remarkably detailed history of the state of Alabama from the time of the Spanish explorer Desotos arrival in 1540 to the year of its original publication in 1872. Containing elements that will appeal to the genealogist and historian alike, Brewers Alabama is arranged in three parts. The first eleven chapters comprise an outline history of the state, with pages devoted to exploration, the Indian population, natural resources, economic development, Alabamas territorial period, and state politics in general. Included in this section is a complete listing of Alabama governors, supreme court and circuit court judges, chancellors, attorney-generals, secretaries of state, and U.S. and Confederate Senators and Representatives, giving the name of the office holder and dates of service. The middle section of the book, the longest, contains a chapter on each of Alabamas sixty-five counties. Each chapter profiles the countys formation and organization, economic base, chief roads and water courses, biographical and family sketches of prominent citizens of the county, and a complete list of that countys state senators and representatives. The final section of this auspicious work recounts Alabamas involvement in the recently concluded Civil War, and it features sketches of every infantry and cavalry regiment to have served in the Confederacy. The sketches invariably recount the organization of the regiment, campaigns or battles fought in, and the names of the regiments field and staff officers. An index to the 600 principal subjects of the biographical sketches may be found at the end of this extremely detailed volume.

early settlers of alabama with notes and genealogies" by elizabeth saunders blair stubbs
This is really two books in one. The first part, originally published by Col. Saunders in a series of newspaper articles between 1880 and 1899, is a compendium of genealogical and biographical sketches of the early settlers of Lawrence County, Alabama and of Alabama itself. Based on first-hand accounts as well as the authors encyclopedic recollections, it offers glimpses of people and events that are otherwise beyond the reach of our present-day resources. Avowedly "popular" in approach, it is nonetheless a unique and invaluable record of Alabamas earliest settlers. The second part of the work, compiled by Col. Saunders granddaughter, contains detailed genealogies of nearly 100 Alabama families. Compiled from a multitude of original records, as well as approved secondary sources, these genealogies usually commence with the immigrant ancestor and progress through a chain of descents down to representatives of the line in the mid-nineteenth century. They are replete with biographical detail and are often preceded by a list of everyone of the surname mentioned in early court records. The following is a list of some of the families treated in this section: Baldwin, Bankhead, Banks, Bibb, Billups, Blair, Cantzon, Clark, Clay, Coleman, Cox, Donohoe, Dubose, Dudley, Dunn, Elliott, Flint, Foster, Fountaine, Fry, Gholson, Goode, Gray, Harris, Hill, Hopkins, Hubbard, Kennedy, Lanier, Ligon, Lowe, McCarthy, McGehee, McMillan, Maclin, Manning, Maury, Moore, Mumford, Oliver, Ormond, Poellnitz, Ray, Richardson, Saunders, Shelton, Sherrod, Shorter, Speed, Swoope, Tait, Taliaferro, Tates, Thompson, Tillman, Urquhart, Walthall, Watkins, Webb, Weeden, Wells, White, Withers, Wyatt, and Young.

history of alabama: and incidentally of georgia and mississippi, from the earliest period, published with annals of alabama 1819-1900 by thomas mcadory owen
Picketts History of Alabama was originally published in 1851. Two-thirds of its nearly 700 pages cover the history of the state prior to 1800, and the remainder extends only as far as 1819, the year of Alabamas statehood. When the Webb Book Company was readying a reprint edition of the Pickett work, it asked Thomas McAdory Owen to prepare a collection of annals to bring the work up to date. Owens Annals of Alabama, 1819-1900, including a subject and name index of more than 5,000 entries, constitutes the final hundred pages of the opus. During the colonial period, Alabama was settled by the Spanish, French, and British--in that order. These Europeans would encounter a sizable indigenous population upon their arrival. One of the strong suits of the consolidated History of Alabama is the emphasis on the Native American forebears of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana--the Mobilians, Chatots, Thomes, Tensas, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and, of course, the Cherokees. Other chapters discuss the French and Spanish footholds in Alabama and Mississippi; the establishment of the Louisiana Territory--of which Alabama was a part--with its first capital at Fort Louis (Mobile ); the role of Frances India or Mississippi Company; the Jesuit presence in Louisiana; conflicts between the European rivals and between the settlers and the indigenous population; and the hardships endured by the settlers. Later chapters set the stage for British and, ultimately, American hegemony in essays on the French and Indian War, Alabama in the Revolutionary War, the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the Louisiana Purchase, the Yazoo Land Sales, establishment of the U.S. Territory of Alabama, and the wars between the indigenous peoples and the U.S. government before, during, and after the War of 1812, culminating in Alabama statehood. Owens Annals, which takes the volume to the end of the 19th century, touches on the political high spots from statehood through the Civil War and Reconstruction, lists state and federal officials up to the time of publication, and provides the researcher with a bibliography for further inquiry into Alabama history, the arts, travel, and more. Although it was published a century ago and suffers from the prejudices and myopia of a bygone era, Picketts History of Alabama is still a rich survey of pre-20th-century Alabama life and culture, one that will assuredly provide valuable context for researchers with Alabama forebears.

history of clarke county, alabama
Clarke County is located between the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers and was initially carved from Washington County in 1812. When Alabama became a Territory in 1827, Clark County was substantially enlarged. This history is similar to most county histories done in this time period in that it covers all the usual topics such as education, newspapers, population, Indian skirmishes, mineral wealth, schools and community leaders. It is especially rich in biographical sketches and has various lists of soldiers including the war records on many men living in the community who had served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. It is filled with biographical sketches of individuals with detailed genealogies on many of the early pioneer families of the county such as: Adams, Anderson, Ball, Barnes, Bedsole, Bolen, Boroughs, Boyles, Caller, Carlton, Chapman, Davis, Frazier, Garrett, Gillis, Graham, Grant, Gross, Hicks, Jones, Johnson, Kimbell, Kimbrough, Langford, Mathews, McDuffie, McGowan, McLeod, Murphy, Newman, Nichols, Pugh, Rivers, Savage, Stewart, Taylor, Tucker, Turner, Wilson, Wing, and the mention of vast numbers of other pioneer settlers.

history of conecuh county, alabama
This excellent history of this early county begins with its earliest times and settlers, the Creek Indians. This is followed by the early settlement of Conecuh by the whites in 1815 at a place called Bellville. Early in 1817 more people moved in from North Carolina and Chester District, South Carolina. Great Difficulty befell those early emigrants especially in 1816 as they attempted to obtain food from long distances, with their lives always endangered through perilous travels in Indian territory. This was followed by more Indian hostilities from scattered Indian bands whose main body had been defeated at the Battle of Horse Shoe Bend by Andrew Jackson. Finally in January 1818, Conecuh became an organized county bounded on the north by Monroe and Montgomery Counties, on the west by Clarke and Mobile Counties, on the east by Georgia and on the south by Florida. The book continues with the continual growth of the county in the areas of transportation, mail service, formation of towns and communities and growth in general until the book ends in 1881 at its time of publication. The author gives much biography of early families and citizens, namely: Amos, Ashley, Autrey, Bell, Bolling, Burnett, Cary, Crosby, Crosley, Cunningham, Donald, Ethridge, Forbes, Gray, Greene, Groce, Hawthorne, Hunter, Jay, Jernigan, Jones, King, Lee, Martin, McCreary, Morrow, Oliver, Perryman;, Rabb, Sampey, Shaw, Simpson, Stallworth, Stearns, Straughn, Travis, Warren, and Watkins. Other surnames mentioned profusely throughout the book are those such as: Allen, Betts, Bowles, Boykin, Brantley, Burson, Cook, Copsey, Dean, Farnham, Feagin, Folks, Halstead, Hart, Hodge, Horton, Johnston, Keyser, Manning, McCaskill, Meeks, Mendenhall, Robinson, Roebuck, Slaughter, Starke, Turk, Walls, and many, many others.

marriages and deaths from barbour and henry counties, alabama, newspapers, 1846-1890
Newspaper items used in the compilation of this book were taken from available newspapers on file at the Barbour and Henry Courthouses in Eufaula Carnegie Library and the Alabama History and Archives. Over 11,000 inhabitants from the two counties are named in the marriage and death records, and early settlers throughout Alabama and Georgia also. Many citizens of Georgetown, Georgia, just across the Chattahoochee River, are included. And, as early records of Georgetown were destroyed by fire, these records are also valuable for researchers of that area.

marriages of mobile county, alabama, 1813-1855
Based on official records, this is an alphabetical list of nearly 12,000 men and women who married in Mobile County, Alabama, between 1813, when the county was formed, and 1855. Brides and grooms are listed in a single alphabetical sequence, with the date of the marriage and a citation to the original source of the information given in tabular format. As presented, the list is exhaustively comprehensive, and researchers need have no fear that anything has been omitted. The three principal sources from which this list derives are: (1) Marriage and Bond Books (#1-14), 1823 to 1855, of the probate records of Mobile County; (2) Index to Marriages, 1813 to 1855, in the Mobile County probate records; and (3) various marriages listed in an appendix to Peter Hamiltons book, Colonial Mobile (1910). These three, along with one or two additional sources ingeniously employed by the compilers, constitute the basis of the work, which must now be considered one the finest sourcebooks in all of Alabama genealogy.

rural land owners of barbour county, alabama
In 1851 A. B. Herbert, Register, made maps of every township of Barbour County showing ownership of each parcel of rural land. These maps were marked “correct up to March 1, 1851”. Names of the land owners were abstracted from the maps with the descriptions of the land by section, township, and range. The primary purpose of this book is to make available to the researcher as much documented information as possible concerning these land owners - names, dates, places of birth and death, names of spouses, names of parents and former places of residence. In the absence of documented proof, speculation is occasionally included. Approximate dates and places of birth as well as year of arrival in Alabama are from the 1850 census of Barbour County unless a different reference is given. The spelling of both given names and surname varies according to the reference used. All records are for Barbour County unless specified. About 1866, parts of Barbour County were cut into Russell and Bullock Counties. This land is shown by an (R) for Russell County and a (B) for Bulloch County following the description.

the seventeenth alabama infantry: a regimental history and roster
This work provides a remarkable account of the involvement of the 17th Alabama Infantry Regiment in the Civil War. The 17th Regiment was organized September 5, 1861, at Montgomery, Alabama. The 17th was mustered into the Confederate Army with a full regiment of ten companies and approximately 900 men. This book explores personal aspects of the soldiers as well as their reactions to events surrounding them. Much of their story is told using their own words, where available, from diaries, letters and military reports. Descriptions of the following military assignments are included: the coastal defense duties in Pensacola, the bloodbath at Shiloh, coastal defense at Mobile, the Battle of Atlanta, the Battle of Franklin and the Battle of Nashville. The appendices list a roster for the entire regiment with over 2,800 names, from each of the ten companies, listed in alphabetical order. Individual entries in the roster include: date and location of enlistment, disease, injury, capture and imprisonment, and discharge or parole. Date and location of birth, death and burial are listed, if known. A medical glossary and casualty lists can also be found in the appendices. This work includes a bibliography and a combined fullname and subject index.

too little too late: compiled military service records of the 63rd alabama infantry csa with rosters of some companies of the 89th, 94th and 95th alabama militia csa
An interesting and useful genealogical research aide, this unit history contains the records of 1,133 young Alabama men who joined the war late, fought in battle and were captured at Blakeley, Alabama. Upon capture, they were sent as prisoners to Ship Island near Biloxi, Mississippi. Of these young men, many being 17 or younger, almost all survived the war, which makes their records interesting and important to researchers. This work contains muster rolls and rosters, and service records for the 2nd Alabama Regiment Reserves, which was organized in August 1864.
