I would be interested in doing a DNA study of the early settlers in Perry County, TN including the Barber, Trull, Hilburn, Kilpatrick, Dowdy, Campbell, Baucom, Sharp and Qualls. Donna, if you have access to ancestry.com, I can share my posted Qualls family tree with you. Then lets see how we would want to work on the DNA lines

Eugene is pictured as a flight cadet in the 1942-K yearbook of Bruce Field in Ballinger, Texas. I'm not kin but thought this might help another researcher.

Re: Lena Qualls Laurel Hill Florida

DonnaMorgan222 — 2009-09-22 07:22:59Z

Lena was born in I believe Covington County Ala. in 1894.
Her dad was named Annah, and her mom was Sallie.
She had three sisters,Minnie,Ola,and Lissie. She also had
four brothers,Hilton, Johnie, Palmer,and Roy.
In 1910 they lived in Copperas Head, Covington Co. Ala.
My grandmother was also a Qualls. I'm sure my grandmothers grand dad,Levi, and Lenas' dad are related but I haven't found out how just yet. They all live in the same area at the same time. If they are related then you are also kin to the Norris' and Whiteheads' of that area also.
Hope this helps you.

Re: Qualls/Quarles DNA study

RogerRArrick — 2009-09-08 13:55:50Z

Probably is connected somehow. The Qualls DNA study petered out. We need someone with more knowledge about Qualls to take the DNA ball and run with it.

brookforest64 — 2009-05-12 22:57:35Z

My dad {now deceased} always told us his grandfather was a full blood cherokee indian. I dont anyone believed him for a long time. His name was Estle Qualls, his dad was Jesse Qualls, from Arkansas. This has bugged me for years, wish I had questioned him more. Any information on the name Qualls relating to the Cherokee indians would be very much appreciated.

Re: Origin of 'Qualls' name

Re: qualls

kendraqualls — 2009-07-24 02:36:29Z

I'm not sure if we would be related or not, but there seem to be an awful lot of similarities. My grandfather is named Mentral Qualls, and he grew up in Arkansas with deaf parents. He had a sister named Irene and several other siblings that I don't know the names of. Irene recently passed away and I believe was living in Colorado for many years. I know my grandfather raised his children in California and he had family in other states.I have never learned who my father's (Mentral's son) birth mother is and would really like to find out, though she is not a Qualls. They may or may not have been married at one point. My father has 3 siblings.

Our family has always told that one of the family members was a soldier who went to remove the Cherokee from their land. He married an Indian girl and as a result she and her family did not have to go west with the others. Does anyone eles have a story that is like this or has anyone heard anything like this in their family stories?

Gatewood Qualls son Robert H Qualls testified to the Dawes Commission in 1909 that he had a brother Green Qualls, their mother was Mildred Bowlin or Bouldin who claimed Cherokee heritage. Maybe this is your Green born about 1822 Virginia. Gatewood was in Virginia, Tenn, Alabama and Arkansas.

Do you have any dates?
They are very important for anyone trying to help you.
They need to know whether to be looking in the 1700's, 1800's or 1900's etc.

Re: Qualls

1900 Halton, Covington County, Alabama
Qualls
Green, head, 59, 8-1840, marr 11 yrs, Ala., Ala., Ala.
Millie S., wife, 30, 5-1860, 5 children 5 living, Ala., Ala., Ala.
Brock, son, 10, 8-1889, Ala.
Winnie R., daughter, 9, 3-1891, Ala.

Mary Jane, daughter, 4, 5-1896, Ala.
Pollie S., daughter, 6 months, 11-1900, Ala.
*note - I believe Pollie's date of birth should really be 1899 as the census was taken before 11-1900 (her stated birth date)

1910 Lakewood, Walton County, Florida
Green, head, 64, 1st marr., marr 41 yrs., Ga., US., US
Fronie, wife, 61, 1st marr., marr 41 yrs., 9 Children 6 Living, Ala., Ga., Ala., US, US
Brock, son, 20, Ala.
Mary Jane, daughter, 13, Ala.
Souannah, daughter, 10, Ala.
Minnie Lou, daughter, 4, Florida
*Note - I'm sure this is the same family, as the kids names match up BUT Green has only age 5 years and his wife has a different name and is 31 years older. I believe this might actually be a "second" wife (enough they both say it is a 1st marriage and that they have been married 41 years.) But then again who knows

Alabama Deaths
Green Qualls, Covington Co., January 1929
Florida Deaths

I'll look for more tomorrow, as I have to get to work now.
Hope this will hold you until then.

Re: A Qualls by any other name...

paintguy101 — 2009-05-01 15:10:22Z

janice, much of what is written thus far is true. However, with some research you'll find there were 3 clans from the Brittish Iles. One from the Ile of Man, whose surname came from the bird, so they indicate; second from Ireland, of which the surename comes from MacQuall; third was mentioned earlier from Norfolk. As to your family specifically, I don't have any information.
Connie, our family's are the same. Joeseph is my greatgreatgrandfather. His father moved to Evening Shade from the Cumberland Mt. region in the early 1800's.
