Barbara,I descend from Levi and Elizabeth Fulmer Waits through their son George Pinckney Waits. The old homestead still stands.We do not know the exact date that the Waits came to Alabama but it was in the 1840's. I do not know where nor when Tizaan died and was buried, but since she appears on the 1850 census and William H. Wilson, widower of Tizaan, married Rosannah Elizabeth Waits on March 24, 1860 in Coosa County, Alabama, he apparently was established there at least by the 1850's. According to my mother's research, Levi Waits gave his daughter, Rosannah, eighty acres, about a quarter mile south of the home place.After the death of Tizaan Waits Wilson, William H. Wilson married her sister Rosannah, and they occupied the property given originally to Tizaan north of the home place.Levi bought back the eighty acres south of the home place which he had previously given Rosannah and paid $428.00.Later Levi sold this eighty acres to George P. Waits for $450.00.When William H. Wilson and Rosannah Wilson migrated West, the rumor spread that during the Civil War he had buried gold on his property, and for many years people tried to find it.To my knowledge no one was successful. Do you also descend from William H. Wilson and do you know of any familytales while they lived in Alabama? Sara
