By horse and buggy, the families loaded up in wagon trains and followed the dirt roads to the next stop of their journey, bringing along a couple of cows and a few pigs and the spinning wheel to use once they succeeded with their first crop of cotton, and of course they grew tobacco or corn, rice and wheat.

Some of their estate sales included a gun, a jar, a grubbing hoe, a shovel, a feather bed, and perhaps a lot of medicine, meaning perhaps a box of medicine. Those attending the estate sales and those making the appraisals were usually married into the family and lived nearby on their own plantations. The old roads used were usually indian paths, sometimes friendly, sometimes not, but many were also intermarried with our families.

Many began in Maryland or Virginia, even in Jamestown, while some were also on the Mayflower landing at Plymouth Rock and then migrating southward along the east coast. They came from many other countries to settle here and fight for their Independence in 1776, being awarded Land for their service and a pension, most often these documents are located in the Archives.

• From North Carolina 1700 (142 KB)
  Early family migrations of Anderson, Brack, Sellers, Stephens, from their early settlements of the 1700s in NC as they ventured through Georgia and into Alabama Territory around 1820. Many are found in Hope Hull and Ramer, in Montgomery County AL census of 1830. The Anderson Will of 1834 is found in the local Probate Office. The Bozeman estate sale of 1829 is also found along with military documents signed by Elisha Stephens. I have transcribed the 1830 and 1840 census of Montgomery to study their families and their neighbors who gave us a fabulous history of the State.

• L P Little (12 KB)
  Article Our cousin Lucius Powhatan Little served in the Civil War, became a lawyer, judge, author, and family researcher. He believed we connected to the family of Pocahontas, and his daughter Laura Simmons Little Hawes continued his work. Her daughter Martha Hawes of Arizona sent me a package of their research and Martha had also corresponded with another cousin Dorline Gray Teegardin who grew up with my father. Dorline was a member of a Pocahontas club.
• Descendants of Peter Bozeman (37 KB)

William's brother Peter married Gilly and moved to Louisiana, while brother Jesse's lineage died at Hope Hull, and brother Meady's boys went to Mississippi during the Civil War, and their sisters married and moved on.
• Cleopatra (14 KB)
  Around 1900 cousin Laura Little, daughter of Lucius Powhatan Little, ordered research on Cleopatra, from the American Genealogical Society and was told that Cleopatra did not exist.....yet the Littles still believed in their indian blood, connecting to Powhatan, thus the name was passed on through other generations. Genealogists now believe that Cleopatra did exist. Powhatan may have produced dozens of children that are not in the archives.
