He named his first son John (possibly Johnathan Jefferson). Could have been named after his father. I know he was in Alabama because all of his children were born there except John (SC). and the last child was born in 1854 in Alabama. William and Jane and family were in Mississippi in 1870. Charlie was not found after 1844 so far.

BASS Cemetary

tomandbethlittle — 31 Oct 2003 10:33:41 GMT

I need some help remembering. I used to live very close to a tiny family cemetary in the Huffman/Chalkville area that I thought was Bass cemetary. The land in that area belonged to the Bass' before it was developed. The original farmhouse was in excellant condition and Ms. Bass lived there and her son a local lawyer lived next door to her. His wife was my sunday school teacher. There is a cemetary in Trussville, much larger, that was also named after a family. Is the Trussville one Bass cemetary? If my names are mixed up can someone clarify. I am researching my Bass ancestors, however they are not related to the above mentioned.

charopl62 — 11 Jul 2003 7:45:26 GMT

I am looking for any information on any of the above listed names. Peter Stewart (born 29-Jun-1851) immigrated from Scotland in 1884 and his wife Jane (born11-Apr-1853)immigrated in 1886. They were naturalized in 1900. They had four children (I believe) Jeanie Steart Park (born 9-Nov-1878 in Aryshire, Scotland), Katherine Stewart McCrorie (born in Scotland), Mary Stewart Jennings (born 22-Mar-1883 in Scotland), Martha Stewart Rodgers (born 2-May-1888 in AL), and Peter Stewart (born in AL?). Peter (Sr) also had a sister that immigrated to AL named Martha Stewart Murphy (born 24-Feb-1855 in Scotland). Most of them, if not all of them are buried in Elmwood Cemetary.

Geneva Daniel, Geneva Daniels, Genevie Anderson surname Mauldin

michaelrenee2002 — 31 Dec 2007 9:22:24 GMT

I am searching for information regarding my paternal great-grandmother. I have found her name spelled Jenneva, Geneva and Genevie. She is African American. In the 1920 census she is listed as living in Jefferson County Alabama with her husband John Daniel as Jenneva Daniel with a son Robert L Daniel and the mother of John Daniel, Mattie Daniel of South Carolina. By the 1930 census, she has remarried and is listed as Genevie Anderson living in Cincinnati, Ohio with her husband, Robert Anderson and two additional children Mattie Mae Daniel and Ruth Daniel. Also, in the 1930 census an "S" has been added to Daniel. Other records list her as Geneva Daniels. I believe she was born in Jefferson County Tennessee abt 1904, possibly in the city of Bessemer. I think her maiden name is Mauldin. Her son Robert L Daniel resided and died in Cincinnati, Ohio; Her daughter Mattie Mae Daniel Chenault resided and died in Dayton, Ohio and youngest daughter Ruth Daniel resided in Dayton, but died in Cleveland, Ohio.

James Morris

BlackOtterK — 4 May 2008 9:36:40 GMT

Seeking any information on James B. Morris born 1821 in Alabama. James married Nancy Harrison in 1844 in Coosa County, Alabama. They are not found on the 1850 census for Coosa and cannot find them anywhere on the 1850 records. They oldest child was William J. Morris born in 1845 and it was stated on his death certificate that he was born in Birmingham, Alabama. Some of the Harrison relatives also have connections to the Jefferson County area. Other children of James and Nancy were Jasper W. Morris, Josephus Morris, Missouri Morris, James Morris, Frances "Fannie" Morris and others. I know quite a lot about James from 1860 on. Would appreciate any information at all pertaining to his parents and or siblings. Thanks, Shirley Roach King

This happened Dec. 14, 1907 He died on Dec. 21, 1907 Does anybody have any info on this murder? Is there any particular newspaper I could reference? Any Suggestions from ANY one?

McElwain Cemetery--Any Records? Who Controls It Now?

dnolin3 — 15 Apr 2008 11:07:25 GMT

Friends,
I've found internet web sites providing the names of people buried at McElwain Cemetery (located on Montevallo Road near Crestline and Irondale areas and behind McElwain Baptist Church) based on a survey of the cemetery's gravemarkers. Based on a book that recorded funeral home records and an obituary from the Birmingham Age-Herald, my grandparents were buried there, but they aren't listed in the cemetery surveys.

According to the obituary (and my sister's memory), my grandmother was buried there in 1949--probably near my grandfather who died in 1915. Does anyone know who controlled burials in 1949 and whether there might be records from that period? I think the cemetery is very old and started under the control of the city of Birmingham (or some B'ham suburb) in the 1870's or 1880's. Does anyone know if there are any historical records to identify persons buried in this cemetery in unmarked graves? And who controls this cemetery now if my grandparents graves could be located and I wished to get permission to place a small marker there in their memory?

I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

History of Elyton Village

nitabobo — 8 Feb 2008 4:28:46 GMT

I have tried to find out the history of Elyton Village on line and all I have found thus far describes it as a small and unimportant little village. Yet on early maps of Alabama it appears, the little I have been able to find out that it was a jumping off point for those settling western Alabama and further west. Was it an Native American village?Who were the first white settlers? Why is there so little info on it.

Birmingham Terry

Cerydwyn — 21 Mar 2008 11:31:01 GMT

I am researching my grandmother, who lived much of her life in Saline County, Illinois but had told us she was an orphan from Birmingham, Alabama. Her maiden name was Lida Lillian Terry and her birthdate was 26 June 1900, or at least close to that. It is possible she was born in/around 1902 since she seems to have consistently stated her age two years younger on census records while still stating her birth year as 1900. Has anyone come across her name in your research? I'm not getting anywhere with my research and don't know where else to look for information. Thank you.

Courthouse listed as funeral home on death certificate???? Why??

ArleyMeadows — 11 Mar 2008 9:59:58 GMT

I recently received a copy of a death certificate and it lists the Jefferson County Courthouse as the FUNERAL HOME. Can anyone answer why this might be the case? I am guessing that the individual was indigent and the county paid for the funeral/burial(?) This is the first time I have seen this on a death certificate.

Was there a specific place for the burial of indigent persons? The death certificate says Jefferson County and Morris, AL.

Any information appreciated.

Did anyone know June Pauline HAFNER? Died 1994

ArleyMeadows — 27 Feb 2008 1:28:14 GMT

June Pauline Hafner died April 22, 1994, probably in a nursing home in Jefferson County, at the age of 90. I have been unable to locate an obituary for her although kind researchers have looked diligently. June was the youngest of 12 children but they lost contact with her many years ago. They have all since passed away and as far as we know June had no children of her own (she married a HAFNER but we do not know his given name).

June was a daughter of Wellington Wesly Richmond and Annie Laurie Bragg and was born in West Virginia. She moved with her mother to Ohio around 1930 and later lived in New York. We are attempting to find out where she is buried, the name of her husband, etc. If anyone can help in this matter we would greatly appreciate it.
