I've had these records several years. I had gone through and
copied each date, person and happening and I've gone back
the last year and discovered many of my relatives were there!!
I thought these people were closer to the Concord Community
than they were the New Lexington Community.
My husband, a friend of ours and I went to some OLD cemeteries
last week. We were in the OLD Salem cemtery and Gay
showed us the one that she calls her sweetheart. She said that
she placed flowers on his grave last Christmas and told him to
rest in peace. I told her who he was, Dr. William
BAKER, and I looked up more census records on him. He lived in the household
of Bradford WILLINGHAM and later
married Bradford's daughter. He became a doctor at a very young age and the people in the
community loved the family. He was a
Mason. He had an extended illness before his early death. Wish I knew what killed him.
I'll enclose a picture of his
grave.
After leaving that cemetery, we visited one 'way over in the
boondocks, east of old Gorgas school, miles from nowhere. It was
the
WHITSON Cemetery and there were only white marble markers in
it! HOW did they transport the larger markers! When we
started to leave, we spotted a moutain lion in the road! We
didn't bother him! ha He was big and beautiful!
Gotta go and get "stuff" ready for the football crowd. Keep
your fingers crossed for a win for U of A!! It's very cold and windy
here.
Glad we're indoors watching on TV!

Is that the Thomas Poe married to Mary (people say Mary
Hampton, but no proof). It is presumed he is a son of the "major" James
Poe (but on slight evidence) -- then again, that my John Poe was a son of
James is based on slight evidence. My John Poe had a son Thomas Poe (b.
1819) who was in Fayette Co. By 1834, that could be him.

William, do you have anything on Thomas POE? He was in the
Salem Church minutes, Tuscaloosa Co AL, about 1834. He was there
along
with other POEs, HOPSONs and CATES/KEATS. Still searching
for a papa for my John!!
Thanks!!

Subject: Nathaniel Poe > Thomas Jefferson
Poe (b.1851)
I was recently contacted by Dayton Poe, a
descendant of Thomas Jefferson Poe, son of Nathaniel Poe (born
1813/16) who lived in Carroll County and Choctaw County, Mississippi. I
have compiled what I could find about Nathaniel Poe on this web
page.
http://poefamilyresearch.net/MS/Studies/NathanielPoe.htm
If anyone can add more information about this line,
please let me know.
--------------------
Most likely, Nathaniel Poe is a son of Stephen Poe b.
1797 who died in Choctaw County, MS in 1871. Stephen lived in Fayette
County, Alabama at the same time as George Poe, who likely was his
father. This line appears to trace, through Tennessee, back to
Caswell County, NC, where we find George Poe with an older, Jonathan
Poe, who could have been George's father. Jonathan Poe is a name that
earlier appears in the records of Culpeper County, VA where we find
William Poe (wife Lydia) having settled by 1737. William Poe was in
Essex / Caroline County, VA before that.
