Welcome!
| We are compiling and refining an extensive knowledge base of pre-1830 Henry County, Alabama pioneers and history for genealogy researchers to use to quickly determine if their ancestors were inhabitants of Henry County prior to 1830 and, when possible, to help them identify their ancestors’ kin, acquaintances, professions, migrations, etc. This resource is particularly important because the 1820 US census for Henry County was destroyed, and heretofore, there hasn’t been a comprehensive compilation of the county’s earliest pioneers. Fortunately, there are microfilms and transcriptions of old records from this early era in the Alabama State Archives, the Henry County courthouse, and LDS Family History Library as well as books, published family histories, old Bibles, etc. that are good sources for compiling our census. |
| As of January 18, 2010 this website contained 1,235 pre-1830 Henry County pioneers with more to come. Included are numerous women, children, and slaves. Accompanying the pioneers are approximately 4,000 factoids with dates and sources, and, incredibly, there are even a few photos. Yet, as Winston Churchill said, “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." There are additional pioneers in records that have not yet been researched and innumerable details on existing pioneers to discover and share. Feel free to search for your ancestors or just browse. If you don't find anyone or anything of interest, stop by again later. The knowledge base is continually growing and evolving. If you discover a mistake or an omission or want to share information on your pioneer ancestors, please start a thread to let us know. There is a place to start a thread at the bottom of every page. Better yet, join our team and help us improve and expand the pre-1830 Henry County, Alabama knowledge base or simply take ownership of your ancestors' pages. It's completely free and easy and no knowledge of HTML is required. Just click the Sign Up! button above and follow the simple instructions. Please let us know how we can make our website better --> Feedback |

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can purchase a copy of the Watford Family Book. It was originally written by James Horace Coulliette and revised by Margaret Josephine Phillips in 1986. I understand that Mr. Coulliette is deceased and the telephone number that I was able to find for Ms. Phillips has been disconected. My cousin who lives in Dothan has a copy of both books and I was able to look through it this weekend. It contains a treasure of information for my ancestry, the Joseph Watford line. I would very much like to purchase my own copies of one or both books. I appreciate any information that you can give. Thank you, Pam |
