General Notes:

From Eugene E. Ingram:

Uncle Joe lived in Alton, Alabama. He farmed and also worked at the Alton Brickyard in the early 1900's as a waterboy.

The company had a "yoke" for him to hang over his shoulders which held a water bucket on either side.

He carried water for the workers to drink. This brick plant went out of business around 1920.

Barbiere's Cavalry Battalion, Local Defense Troops [Alabama Reserves]

 

Major Joseph Barbiere's Cavalry Battalion was organized in 1864 from several independent companies which had themselves been created as supporting forces for the Conscript Reserves. The battalion served principally in central Alabama during the fall and winter, 1864-1865, and it was first assigned (1 Nov 64) to Armistead's Cavalry Brigade, District of Central Alabama, until January 1865. The unit was headquartered at Wilsonville, AL (Feb 65) and was reported as serving with the Alabama Reserves with six companies ("A"-"F"). It was assigned to, and included in the surrender of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana by Lt. Gen'l Richard Taylor at Citronelle, AL, on 4 May 1865.

 

Barbiere's Cavalry Battalion consisted of Companies "A"-"E" (probably Capt. John C. Brown's, Capt. J. M.Clifton's, Capt. Dawson's, Capt. Thomas J. Goldsby's, and Capt. Thomas K. Truss' companies), "F" (Capt. Andrew W. Bowie's), and "G" (Capt. P. L. Griffitts)

THE FRANKLIN FAMILY

 

The Franklin Family settled someplace in North Carolina, and later made their way to Alabama by wagon train. One family that came with them had the name of "Ware". The story has been told that two or three families came together, and that great, great grandfather Franklin settled around Mud Creek near the Warrior River, southwest of Bessemer. No one knows where the other families settled. Nothing is known of how many children there were in the Franklin family, nor what date they came. It could well have been in the late 1790's or early 1800's.

THE FRANKLIN FAMILY

 

The Franklin Family settled someplace in North Carolina, and later made their way to Alabama by wagon train. One family that came with them had the name of "Ware". The story has been told that two or three families came together, and that great, great grandfather Franklin settled around Mud Creek near the Warrior River, southwest of Bessemer. No one knows where the other families settled. Nothing is known of how many children there were in the Franklin family, nor what date they came. It could well have been in the late 1790's or early 1800's.

From Margaret Caroline Ingram Fox:

 

My grandfather used to visit us at Lovick, Alabama, when I was a little girl. I remember him sitting on the front porch in a straight cane chair holding his cane, and telling us stories of hearing the cannon shots that were fired during the War Between the States. He also told us of his parents selling their last slave on the block in Birmingham when Birmingham was not more than a mudhole. He also remembered when the Yankees came through and stole all their horses from the barn. His family lived down the valley from Leeds around Lake Purdy. Grandpa loved to imbibe his bourbon; he would take a drink from his bottle and say "Ah, that's good!" It hurt my mother terribly because he would sometimes drink. He rode his horse up until a few months before he died.

 

"Grandpa Franklin told the story of the time the house flooded - he got the feather bed out and floated away."

However, omission from will could be a result of Lewis predeceasing Thomas G. (Lewis not listed with Editha in 1860 census).

Notes for Owen Franklin:

General Notes:

[Franklins.FTW]

 

Assumption: when Owen, brother of Gore, had a son also named Owen, that he then used Owen, Senr., and the son Owen Jr.

 

NOT PROVEN: Assumption is made that Thomas Franklin and Owen Franklin are brothers. Their sons, Owen and Thomas Jr , are both Baptist preachers in Jefferson County. The Baptist Conference Obituary Committee notes that they were "distant relatives" both from Kentucky. (Comment made by writer who probably did not know the family well or who had not researched the Franklin Family.]

 

W.B. Parsons notes in his history of Rock Creek Baptist Church: " The Presbytery was probably composed of the Franklin Cousins, Thomas and Owen Franklin, who were Baptist Ministers and had moved in from Kentucky." (p. 16)

From Paula Partridge email:

 

Story goes that Angus fought in the battle of Culloden Moor in Scotland, he was captured, found fuilty of treason and sent to Maryland in 1747 on the "Johnson" along with brothers Daniel and John and ?Mary.

Polly has located some descendents of Daniel & John. All of them were sold into actual slavery - not indentured servitude but actual slavery. John escaped somehow, and made his way to Edgefield SC after his son was born in VA. --- Possibly Joseph killed in civil war - (enlisted in 2 different AL regiments.) Children all end up in New Orleans and begin using McDanell spelling.
