Henry Kentucky, Barsheba Clark Coonfield lives by her brother Archelus Clark, near brother Obediah Clark who married Susannah Coonfield. Archelus/Archibald married Lanarah Coonfield

While our William Fenn worked this plantation, he is probably connected to this famous Fenn in Barbour County history. The story of Indians in our line is confirmed, they worked together, and it confirms the location. It is said that our grandparents were Cherokee...

another clue....Cecil was adopted !!! as his mother Annie lee Stone was leaving her family behind, Frank Fenn held a crying baby Cecil in his arms and said YOU might as well take this one with you !!! Annie remarried, but so did FENN Cecil Earl was always coming back to visit his father and brothers.....they said he was MEAN, so hard to get along with.....military and drunk.....wow

John Stephens took a North Carolina Cherokee full blood wife and gave her a Biblical name and they fled to Alabama....some went to Florida and into Panama becoming the Banana People of today.

Pall Bearers at Cecil Carter's funeral in 1939...with A J Stough, Willie Prescott, who are they??? Cecil's mother was Annie Lee STONE and she was not surviving....his brother Emmett signed his death certificate

Beautiful granny died so young. In labor wanting to call her mother for help, he pushed her down the stairs and she lived only a few hours after giving birth to William. Both her parents have native american ancestry and strong spiritual lives.

Descends from Charles McClain and Elizabeth Moon of Virginia with several unknown brides in that line, lead us to believing his native american background.....Lorena's Bozeman line does the same, with Stephens, Anderson, Brack and Doty backgrounds

Lattie L Coonfield Home in 1900: Garland, Benton, Arkansas Age: 28 Estimated birth year: 1872 Birthplace: Kentucky Race: White Relationship to head-of-house: Wife

List of family birthdays but this is not Luella's handwriting compared to other notes...perhaps her mother wrote it down for her...it is said the Bible once belonged to Lattie

many ancestors of her children shown Elizabeth must have been sister to Rebecca Broadway Gibson Lorena Bozeman McClain listed other Broadway's deaths in her Bible and referred to Elizabeth as Bettie Gardner who had remarried to John Gardner

Augustus and Mary Ann Stone are a white family in Thomasville, Bullock County Alabama - Augustus on prior page and his father Benjamin on next page of census

1870 census of Notasulga, Macon County, Alabama, John and Emeline both came from Macon Georgia and had my great grandfather William Franklin Fenn in Tuskegee in 1855.

shows us J T Bozeman on his 3rd marriage to Samantha Faulk who is on her second marriage; they are white. Notice the nearby Dillard family is listed as black and note that John's brother Peter married a Dillard. John had 40 acres, probably left to him by his father Peter Bozeman. Note the many NON white families around them.

William was born 1855 Tuskeegee Alabama and died in Montgomery in 1922. His sons are still with him, Frank jr, Arthur Lee, Emmett, but still no sign of Robert Lee Fenn yet we found his grave next to Frank jr. Carrie is not listed so she must be living in another household or gone to visit her mom Annie in Macon GA; her marriage record is not yet found. William Fenn managed his cousin Matthew Fenn's plantation in Eufaula until he moved into Montgomery.

Enlisted from GA he is in Fort Bliss, El Paso, Texas working at Beaumont Hospital, still a single man but he married Emma Alice McClain before 1932 when their first son was born. Cecil was apparently adopted about 1910 when his mother remarried to a Carter in Macon GA. Cecil Earl died on Columbus Street in Montgomery AL in 1939

Married with child Lillie, and living with his mother Elizabeth and her new husband John Gardner in Montgomery County Alabama. Apparently the father of Charles ( Josiah Marion McClain ) had passed away. Josiah descends from his father James, to Josiah to Charles McClain of Virginia who had married Elizabeth Moon and they had moved into South Carolina by 1800. Charles was very dark but his hair turned white at a very young age - his sons were also very dark complected.

could be the son of Joseph Bozeman and Josephine Wood and/or the brother of Nathan Bozeman - this line may connect to DAR Patriot Ralph Bozeman of Bladen County North Carolina

from Macon Georgia to Macon Alabama, they had Wm Franklin Fenn in 1855, and John descends from John Fann and Mary Stone of Virginia thru their son Henry Fann to Zachariah ( Rev War ), Travis to Elijah Fann who married Martha Rich in Burke County Georgia in 1807...John and Emeline also had children named Madisen, Thomas, Ida.

William was born 1855 Tuskeegee Alabama and died in Montgomery in 1922. They are found living on Commerce Street with his son Emmett and his daughter Carlyn or Carrie, who still shows up as a Single Person.... He must have been sickly at this point. His grave is found in Greenwood Cemetery, next to Emmett and next to his brother Madison who was often called Uncle Matt.

says that George was 21 when he came to America - to Charleston SC - did he bring a wife? did he arrive with brothers, sisters and parents? we need to locate the ships list to get more answers....

Lattie may have written this list, the handwriting is much prettier than other notes in the Bible. However there is a possibility that her parents wrote it down for her when she was a child...we will never know.

The letter reads: "I give to Adaline Griffin thirteen head of stock Cattle and mark and brand mark crop and half cross in the left year [sic] and two under betts [?] in the side Recorded by me and brand A G." Apparently, Fenn was out of town, and so addressed this letter to himself, and the Post Master at the General Store (or such) in Bainbridge had probably been told to open his mail in Fenn's absence, and the Post Master took this to the courthouse, where the county clerk signed noted it "recorded" and signed it "A.D. Smart, Clk." Decatur county. It's a quarter of a full lettersheet. Maybe there was a shortage of paper, or there was other writing that was torn off and long gone, who knows. Postal marking cover is all there.

His son Peter claimed to be in the war also but his pension was rejected. We find Peter on census in Darlington SC in 1810 but he moved to Alabama after 1820. Some say his wife Sarah died in SC but we find a SARAH listed in his estate sale after his death. Her son William Henry also named a son Peter Edward Bozeman and it is possible that the name Edward is passed on by the ancestors of Mordecai.

he is Carrie's Uncle Mat or our great grandfather Wm F Fenn's brother who died in 1927 and is buried at Greenwood Cemetery by Wm F Fenn and near Emmett Fenn. Whomever buried Uncle Mat listed him as Matthew A Fenn, so they did not know much about the family's real names. Madison was a night watchman at a grocery store, according to this census, being widowed as his wife had died in Texas, prompting his return to Alabama. There is also a Rewis family on this census which we later find connected with Emmett Fenn.

Carrie's brother, also brother of our grandpa Cecil Earl Fenn Carter. Uncle Frank, his wife Neva Mae Walraven, and her mother are living between Panama Street and Highland Avenue. He works on the railroad, like his brother Emmett. Uncle Frank later buys land in Coosada on Airport Road and has a family cemetery which includes his brother Robert's grave. The land later becomes Coosada Elementary School. Some is donated to the church for a cemetery. This is where cousin Martha remembered her mom, Neva, boiling Frank's workclothes in a pot outside from his job on the railroad. There was once a housefire where they lost many of their family photos and mementos, but one son remembered Frank having a photo of a guy in baseball uniform signed by Wm Arthur "Tige" Stone.

She is now alone. At some point she moved in with her stepson Wm Frank Fenn Jr because my mother in law Mary Ella Brooks knew her and actually took her in when Eva and Frank did not get along. This might have happened in Montgomery before they all moved to Elmore County but yes, Mary Ella took care of the lady !! What a small world we live in

One of our great great grandfathers....married to Martha Rich and had John who ended up in Tuskegee Alabama and had a son named William Frank Fenn . Elijah's ancestors came down through the Carolinas and the wars and some were listed on the Georgia land lottery - such amazing history here !!

Cousin Martha said that Aunt Carrie married a Ben Johnson and moved to Oklahoma where they had one daughter named Jean and they lived a very poor life and probably died there. Ben is shown to have been born in Texas.

Shows his father is from Holland and his mother is from France and his wife is from Tennessee. John is 42 on this document and his children are born in Texas so they have been here nearly 20 years apparently. Roxanna Permilia Smith is using P R for her name on this.

some of Ben's siblings are born in Indian Territory but he shows born in Texas - all citizens are listed as white. There is another Johnson family living next to them. Ben's mother is born in Alabama. They must have returned later to Alabama when he met Carrie Fenn and married her and then they moved on to Oklahoma.

on Commerce Street with her stepmother Eva, we do not know why Carrie/ Carolyn never lived with her own mother, but her father was ill and she stayed. Her brother Emmett is also there but we do not know why they show his middle initial as J when his middle name was Marvin, but census officials were not perfect and if Eva was the person giving out the information, she probably had no clue. Eva Dakota Fenn was very young too !!

sitting with baby JC, with husband Jason to the right and Ruby on horse....dark haired Roscoe Money with his step daughter / Ethel Mae was the daughter of John Thomas Bozeman and Alice Lorena Stephens of Dublin / Ramer/ Alabama

with great grandpa Charlie McClain about 1930- Charlie's parents were Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain. Josiah had another family with his first wife in Georgia, Julia America King who was rejected by the Cherokee Rolls.

apparently not his handwriting since an X mark is on the signature line and the date of birth is incorrect and it shows his wife as Lorena Emma - have seen her signature as L E McClain.

shows Pearl Harbor and also his allergies.....note PENICILLIN and Tetanus.....might add that most of this family was allergic to Penicillin and that Joe's mother's sister, Ethel Bozeman died of an allergic reaction to Penicillin. His mother Lorena was allergic to BEES

LOCATED IN MOYAMENSING, PHILADELPHIA, PA some think that Hugh Cochran was the father of Alexander and William. In 1790 I found a Hugh in South Carolina but he is still there in 1810. They surely did have large families.

located in Adams County, PA with 14 family members and searching the census pages near him I find NO familiar names other than a Thomas Cochran with 13 family members. Names of wife and children were not added to these census records so one can only speculate unless they locate a will in the state's will book for more evidence of this man's legacy.

next to Alexander Cochran and near many Henderson families - Jacob Benjamin Cochran is in California working as a Miner, likely searching for Gold with his brother John.

Peter and Thomas are found here. Thomas may be the father of Sarah Sturgeon who married John Clendenning. I tried to trace the parents of Thomas and his mother Sarah Ferguson and believe that her father was a Thomas Ferguson found in the area. Alexander Douglass is on this page too!

this shows he has 11 children in 1790 ?? This census record only shows head of household and not where he came from, so we can assume he is from Scotland or from Ireland - maybe a large family came over the sea or perhaps the other family trees online are only made up from speculation. In the 1800s there were dozens of Alexanders in census records and dozens more of the Williams so they could all possibly be related to this one Alexander. It would be very difficult for anyone to be certain of the connections to this one man.

Edgefield SC - since I ran across Alexander Douglass with the Sturgeons, I felt like finding his wife after he passed away. IF this is our Mary Molley, she has not yet married George Little - Remember that her husband went on a survey with Molley's brother John Handley to Kentucky and was murdered on the way back to Pennsylvania - she feared the Indians and left.

Hamilton Township, Butte, California - Jacob is a Miner living with his brother John Henderson Cochran so now we know why the other census record showed Mariah alone this year....apparently they all went searching for Gold before moving to Iowa Territory.

hard to find Clendenning on census records but people often changed the spelling of their names - Nancy Clendenning married a William Henderson about 1797 in PA....some were found in North Carolina and I wonder if they migrated to Pennsylvania....the search continues for this line.

Finding Larkin Ballard and his inlaws appear on the same page. It is Larkins' granddaughter Anna thru James Ballard who married John Brooks in TN and had our James Edgar Brooks later found in Montgomery Alabama

mother of Thomas and William Fenn, wife of John, she is found in Russell Alabama living with her grandson by Ida, young W O Murry and his wife Annie Fletcher Murry. Emily was known as Emiline Harrell born in Macon Georgia where she married John Fann and they later moved into Tuskegee, Macon County, Alabama having William, Madison, Thomas, Ida in the 1850s.

1860 Lawrence Tennessee - She married Wm Craig and they had Willie Eudora Craig who married James Ballard. The Ballards had Anna Ballard who married John Brooks and Anna had James Edgar Brooks who went to Montgomery Alabama and then married Susie Mae Cooper ( Mamaw )

Charles Allen McClain in Montgomery Alabama who was married to Lorena Emma Bozeman in 1908 - his mother was Elizabeth Broadway and his father was Josiah Marion McLain

father of the McLains and he might have fought in the REV WAR and he might have come from the family in Pennsylvania..........this man was very hard to trace. Charles married Elizabeth MOON and had Josiah who had James who had Josiah Marion who had Charles Allen McClain

Charles Allen McClain in Montgomery Alabama who was married to Lorena Emma Bozeman in 1908 - his mother was Elizabeth Broadway and his father was Josiah Marion McLain...NOTE the year of his birth is incorrect.
