- 1880 census image of family in Clarke County Ala. (113 KB)
The name John Beckham, was my great, great grandfather, Robert "Buddy/Bud/Bob" Pugh's older brother. He is listed at the bottom at age 13, along with their mother, Judy Pugh. Anyone with any information about these names, please email me. Any and all info is needed at this point. I have only a little information about Robert Pugh, but no other on the other family members. Their also were two sisters name Della and Emily/Unity Pugh. Robert named one of his daughters Della, after his sister. This is from the River Hill township 8, E. D. 26, page 5, taken June 8, 1880, Clarke County Alabama
- Stallworth family (114 KB)
This is a photo of Gloria Stallworth's sister and brother, and a cousin. I always forget who they are, but they have a niece name Judy Marie Stallworth, Brown or Hudson, that has been missing since 1954. If anyone know these faces, or the name Judy Marie, please email me. Judy was born in Chicago, 1951, and her babysitter's last name was Wren. This photo was taken at a club in Chicago. I am thinking, maybe Judy favor one of those faces on the photo. Judy's mother is Dorothy Lee Stallworth-Brown. Her grandparents were Carrie Singleton, my grandmother's older sister, and Frank Stallworth, from Oak Hill, Alabama. They lived in Prichard, Alabama.

These names are all family some kind of way. Sylua/Celia/Sylvia Todd, is Martha Lindsey Williams grandmother, who raised Martha. Martha never really stayed with her mother, Hannah Williams. Martha grew up in the Lindsey home, until she was able to stay with her grandmother. Little is known about Celia/Sylua/Sylvia Todd or Hannah Williams. Hannah was found in the 1870 census with Joseph Williamson, William and a daughter name Ella. We know only of William, whose name is William Caves. The John Todd listed was Martha's father, but Martha never used the Todd name. The Titus name at the very bottom, was the father of Martha's younger brother, Tucker Tilus. Nothing is known of him, only that he was listed as Hannah's baby son, on the 1880 census. I also found Dillie Alson in the same location as Hannah Williams, on the 1870 census. I wonder if there is a connection? This image is from Clarke County Alabama, Coffeeville, beat 13, E. D. 31, page 27, taken June 21, 1880.
