I am interested in Dovie Lee YOUNG JOHNSON HOLMES' ancestors: Dovie's mother, Sarah ELizabeth JOHNSON 9b.1870) married a YOUNG (of which we have no record); Sarah Elizabeth Johnson's parents were Allen P. Johnson (apparently used his mother's maiden name?) (b. 1847) and Mary Elizabeth HAYNES or HAYNOS; Allen P. JOHNSON's parents were William P. CHRISTAIN or CHRISTIAN (m. 1852) and Sarah H. JOHNSON (b. 1825); Joel JOHNSON and Sarah JOHNSON/JOHSON. I have been told the family moved from South Carolina to Newnan, Geogia to Lincoln, Alabama.

I know the Stephens lived on Chocolocco Road and that William M. Stephens married Martha Cobb there in 1861; then enlisted in the Confederacy in the 51st AL Cavalry - Co. "D". William and Martha's children were: J. W. and John Moses born in Calhoun Co/in 1866 they went to Falls County, TX where the rest of their children were born. I think William's father was Enoch Stephens, born in Campbell Co. KY. around 1820...coming first to Talladega Co., AL and then to Calhoun Co..There were some Stephens in Calhoun Co. when it was Benton Co. - John Richard Stephens and John Stephens. Thank you, Jane Stephens Rhem

I am seeking to find John J. Cabaniss in the 1870 census for Talladega County Alabama. I found him in 1860 in this county. Do you have any access to find him? Also, any cemetery records for Talladega County Alabama on the name "Cabaniss", sometime spelled "Cabiness". Any information on anyone with this last name through 1880. How about a Henry Cabaniss married Mary E. (?) between 1875 and 1880? How about a James W. Cabaniss married Sally Tillman between 1865 and 1875? Your assistance and response would greatly be appreciated.

Researching William L.Canant. We have followed him through the census from GA in 1820, 1830, 1845, then in Alabama Talladega Co. 1850 and 1860. We have not been able to locate a grave for him in Talladega County. We did find an Eliza Adelia Canant b 8/25/1837 d 3/20/1924 as being buried at Oak Hill but we don't know if this was his wife or someone else.

I am searching information on the parents of my grandmother. I am looking for information on Joanna JOHNSON b Oct 7, 1871,d March 21, 1939, who married John Thomas TANNER b July 4, 1869, d Feb 5, 1913, and had at least six children, including Mabel TANNER b. May 11, 1899 ,in Anniston, Calhoun Co, AL ; Winnie TANNER SEARCY, Ruth TANNER HOBBS; William TANNER, Hosea TANNER and Johnny TANNER. I am told by a great aunt that "some of the family came from NC" but I don't know who or where. They may have lived in Hokes Bluff AL at some time. Joanna may be a descendent of Hosea (b SC abt 1808) and Lousia (b GA abt 1818) JOHNSON, but this is not confirmed. Mabel TANNER married Clarence Victor SPRADLEY Oct 23, 1912 in Talladega CO, Al, and later moved to Tuscaloosa. My father was the son of Mabel and Clarence SPRADLEY and always said he was "part Creek Indian" but I was not concerned about details of this until it was too late to ask him. Is it possible that you have any information on this family?
