Hi Joel.Thanks for the reply. I already had that information but I appreciate you sending it to me. Rosa Ables mother was Lucinda Ray Ables (Abel). I am trying to find when and where she died. She and her husband Thomas M Abel were living in Glen Allen Al in Fayette co Al in the 1900 census. That is where their daughter Rosa Ables married James Whitehead in 1900. I know she died shortly after 1900 but I can not find a recorde about her death as far aa when she died and where she was buried. I know Thomas M Ables and his children went to Choctaw co Ok in the early 1900's. I don't think they had death certificates until about 1915. Can you think of any way I could find when and where Lucinda Ray Ables died? Thanks,Ross

Would you be able to help me with this pleaee? Thomas M Abel or Ables and his wife Lucinda Elizabeth Ray Ables were living in Fayette co Al in the Glen Allen Al area on rented property owned possibly byt the Whiteheads. I know Lucinda Ray Ables died shortly after 1900 and her family went to Choctaw co Oklahama. I am trying to find when and where she died. Someone said there were a number of Ables buried in the Carbon Hill area and a researcher said they thought she was probably buried in the Jasper Al area in Walker co Al. I thought maybe you could help. Their daughter Rosa Ella Ables married Jame Whitehead in 1900 in Fayette co Al in the Glen Allen Al area and they went to Prentiss co MS. Any help apprecaited. Thanks,Ross

Hello,
I can't believe I missede your reply from some time ago. I doubt it was the same Rosa Whitehead who married a Jame Whitehead in 1900 in the Glen Allen area of Fayette co Al. Her mother Lucinda Elizabeth Ray Ables or Abel died shortly after 1900 probably in the Fayette co al area. Would there be any sources that would show when she died and was buried? I don't really know where to look. One researcher said they thought there were some Ables buried in the Carbon Hill Al area. Any help appreciated. ross

Re: Micajah Harris and Mary McClung

awtreygirl — 2009-10-04 16:15:03Z

RE: Francis Powell McClung married secondly Edwin Harris not long after her Elais McClung died but we haven't found the marriage license.

Edwin Harris is the son of Jonathan L Harris. I assume he was born 1796 in Blount TN as the family lived there in the early 1800s, coming from NC. The family left Blount TN for Madison and Bond counties in Illinois in 1818. Edwin and his older brother Adley/Adlai Harris returned east to Fayette Co AL in 1821. Adlai served as a state representative in 1843-44.

Maybe there is a Harris family connection here somewhere.

Re: Micajah Harris and Mary McClung

awtreygirl — 2009-10-04 16:07:28Z

In Fayette Co AL there is a Francis Powell, wife of Elias McClung. She always spelled her first name with an "i" rather than an "e". Her husband Elais died in the early 1840s and she is probably laying claim to Elias' claim/grant.

Elais was the son of Jonas McClung who's will was probated in Fayette Co AL and it listed the names of Elais' children. These children were Caroline who married a Mr. CHILES, Margaret who married Robert DAVIS, Adaline who married George MOSS, Frances Ann who married a Mr. BERRYHILL and another whose name was not readable.*

I actually have a lot of old photos from the Russells (FDR+ERR), most of which I haven't gone through yet. I'm sure we can help each other out.

I also did a bit of research on FWR's first marriage, which was always shrouded in secrecy. Looking forward to emailing with you.

Re: Julia Ingram and John W. Russell

besu64 — 2009-07-22 20:02:43Z

I believe that you and I can possibly help each other. I have some information on some of the Russells and would appreciate any info on Foster D. Pictures would be a wonderful treasure also. I have very little pictures, lets put this way I have a few pics but no one can identify all of them in the ones I have. I also have a picture of Julia's home that I would gladly share with you. Now, would you be willing to give me your e-mail address so that we can continue and contribute what we have with each other?

Re: Julia Ingram and John W. Russell

jonathanmckeen — 2009-07-22 19:09:42Z

Winfield Russell is my mother's father.

My mother said that she knew nothing about her father's parents, other than that they were Foster Duke Russell and Eva Palmer. I have since looked through much census info, the cemetery listing, and captions to old family photos, and internet postings, and I've come up with only a little. I'm still trying to find more info.

I have good firsthand info about Foster D. Russell's descendants, but for other Russells, I have only what I've psoted. I'm trying to fill out the Russell side of the family tree, and learn more about the Russell family history. If you have information that you'd like to share, I'd love to know more.

Re: Julia Ingram and John W. Russell

brushpin — 2009-07-22 18:06:37Z

This was sent to me by Jeanine that posted her query. The Russell's are my husbands family. Jeanine and I have researched together for 7 years, as she is connected to him by another family, and have been quit successful. Some of the info you sent I have but didn't know that Fosters sons had passed. Are you researching the Russells? I have been looking for Julia Ingram Russell's death certificate or something that shows her death. Since she died in the 1950's I would think it wouldn't be that hard to find. But that's apparently not so. I have her marriage to J.W.

Re: Julia Ingram and John W. Russell

jonathanmckeen — 2009-07-22 02:50:53Z

The 1880 census for Marion County, AL lists this family:
Thomas Ingram 31
Martha A. Ingram 29
Julia A. Ingram 8
James A. Ingram 6
Laura B. Ingram 4
Mary L. Ingram 11M

The Goodwater Cemetery in that area mentions her as Julia Russell, as you are aware. That cemetery also has a Martha Glover Ingram, born 1851. It seems possible that census may have said Martha G Ingram, and the transcriber read it as Martha A, so that may possibly be her mother.

From what I can tell, between mutliple census records and the Goodwater graveyard, John and Julia's kids were:

Foster Duke Russell b. 1/30/1892
Ralph M. Russell b. 2/11/1894
Mark A. Russell b. 4/14/1896
Brice O. Russell b. 10/3/1898
Frank K. Russell b. 8/17/1901
John William Russell III b. 11/10/1903

I know that Foster D. Russell's children were:
Foster William Russell. b. 9/2/1913, d. 3/30/1998
Winfield Palmer Russell, b. 4/12/1919, d. 8/30/2003

What is your information regarding Julia and/or John W. Russell Jr?

He died September 1859 in Fayette County, Alabama at the age 80 years; he married Elizabeth D. Brashier (some say Brasher or Brashear) – they married before 1804 in Montgomery, Montgomery County, Alabama. She was born about 1796 in Greenville District (County), South Carolina and was 17 years younger that Elhannon and she died April 21, 1835 in Fayette County, Alabama (some say Mississippi) at the age 39 years, leaving him a widower for 34 years. They had 12 children in 17 years and in 1835 the youngest would have been 9 or under.

Any further help with this family would be greater appreciated,

Here is some of what I have on John Christopher Deavours,gathered from a wide variety of works and descendants of our Deavours:

John Christopher Deavours b. 1789 married Mary "Polly" Well Beloved Ann Wood, b. 1791 dtr of Robert Wood & Rebecca Traylor.

William Christopher Deavours b. 1823 may have been married twice. Married first to Mary F. Keith, 12 children. Mary died in 1879.

Second marriage may have been to a "Mabel LNU". If so, they had a dtr. Sarah "Sallie" Deavours.

This is where we differ. I have William and Mary's son, Joseph's middle name as "Asbury". Census records bear this out, as on two censuses in his father's household he is listed as Joseph A.

Joseph Asbury Deavours born Apr 29, 1868 Habersham Co. GA died May 29, 1922 Sawyer, OK. Married Mary Louise Hines b. Dec 31, 1884 Dallas, Dallas Co. TX.

Joseph and Mary are living in Wilson, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, in 1910, along with their son, Martin V. age 2. Joseph and Mary have been married 5 years and she has had only one child. Also living in the household is her father Jacob A. Hines age 62 a widower. Joseph is a grocery store merchant.

In 1920 they are still in Wilson, Choctaw Co., Oklahoma. Joseph A. is age 51, a general merchandise merchant. Mary is listed as Louise M. age 34. The children are Martin V. age 12, Jake H. age 9, and Joseph L. age 5. Her father, Jacob Hines is still living with them. He is age 71, doing general farming.

Joseph A. and Mary's son Joseph middle name was Larkin.
