I have Humphry Pelham's father as Ambrose Pelham and his mother as Lydia (possibly Kirkland). The source of this information is supposedly "Scattered Thoughts of a Simple Minded Man" (Privately printed), by Daniel Henry Pelham, 1911. I would dearly love to have a copy of this book but can't find it on the internet. Does anyone know where I can find a copy?

It is also possible that Daniel Henry Pelham mentioned other pre-1830 Henry County Pioneers in his book which would be an added bonus.

I am photographing a number of 19th Century Henry Co. documents, including a Benjamin Lewis deed dated Aug 21, 1839. This is from the actual, original hand-written deed signed by Benjamin Lewis with the signature of two witnesses, D. Caldwell and Richard McGriff. The deed describes the land as being in Henry Co., east half of the northwest quarter of section 21, township 4, range 29. This property is in the NW corner of the present town limits of Columbia, now in Houston County. A long stretch of the Omussee Creek is on this property. The Houston/Henry Co. line is the north boundary of this property. Below is a partial transcription: (excuse spelling)
This Indenture made the twenty first day of August in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty nine between Benjamin Lewis of the one part and Mary Lewis wife of the said Benjamin and Nelly and Mariah Lewis Daughters of the said Benjamin and Sterling Lewis son of the said Benjamin witneseth that the said Benjamin Lewis as well for and in consideration of the natural affection which he the said Benjamin hath and beareth unto his wife and children above named as also for the better maintenance and support of the same hath given granted and confirmed unto his wife and children aforesaid all that tract or parcel land where on he now lives being in the county and state aforesaid and known in the survey made by the United States as the east half of the north west quarter of section twenty one township four range twenty nine and the said Benjamin Lewis for himself his heirs executors and administrator doth convenant and agree that he will for ever warrant and defend the afore tract of land from all claims whatsoever to the full use and benefit of his wife and children aforesaid, and their heirs and assigns forever to be divided as follows to his wife and Daughters Nelly and Mariah he gives one half of the said land to be divided between them in equal ...

I found my relatives listen the Henry Co. Alabama Orphans court dating back to 1833. Specifically, it was the Skipper, James Madison 1824+1849, listed as Skipper, James M (1849). I have read all 107 pages from the original documents. However, I don't understand a lot of it. Do you know if any of those records have been transcribed and if so, how would I go about finding them? I would gladly submit mine but it is incomplete because I do not understand the language.

Thomas ATES is said to have married Seana Foster in Santa Rosa Cty,Fl @1858.Census records show first known child born in 1859. Thomas ATES is listed on 1860,1870,1880,1890,1900 Census Santa Rosa Cty,Fl as Head of Household,1900 SRCty Census,Thomas C. ATES,71,born Al w/both of his parents listed as born in Al. Thomas ATES was father of Nancy Elizabeth ATES B.1864 SR Cty Fl. She married William Ezra PEADEN,son of pre 1830 Henry Cty Pioneer Samuel PEADEN who was born in Henry Cty Al in 1827 to Bartlett PEADEN and Ann SPRAWLS PEADEN. Bartlett PEADEN moved his family to now Santa Rosa County area in 1835 and they lived the rest of their lives in the area. as did son Samuel PEADEN.One son of William Ezra PEADEN and wife,Nancy Elizabeth ATES PEADEN married a very educated lady who early on kept written notes of the family genealogy. She is deceased but I have copy of her notes in which she has written that Thomas ATES,father of Nancy E ATES PEADEN was born 3/1829 in Henry County,Alabama. Alabama as his birthplace came from Census records, the Henry Cty part came from her handwritten notes. Nancy Elizabeth ATES PEADEN was her mother-in-law.This of course does not prove that Thomas ATES was indeed born Henry County. Further research will be needed. Just giving some extra information on the subject. Hope this helps.

Rachel Renfroe (b. 4 Apr 1776) married Ephraim Ellis (b. 30 Jun 1774) in Georgia. They moved to Henry County after 1820, but I don't have the date. They both died in Henry County. I have not been able to find Rachel's parents. I think she must have been related to the Renfroe's in Henry County before 1820. Can anyone give me information?
Thanks,

I am trying to find out if Nancy Kirkland Scott Blackshear is buried in Alabama or Texas. My grandfather was Marvin D. Blackshear. His father was Randall Blackshear who came from Alabama . He is buried in Joquine Texas. Nancy is Randall's Mother. My e-mail is pateee3@aol.com. The Scott cemetery says she is buried in the Sholar Cemetery in Joquine. But find a grave says she is buried in Haleburg Henry co. Alabama. Does anyone know.
