1872 marriage record for F M Byrnes and Levenia Jenkins in Crenshaw County, Alabama

…1947-1957 White Marriage Records Marriage records v. I, 1912-1921 Marriage records v. J, 1917-1923 Marriage records v. L, 1923-1931 Marriage records book N-R, 1931-1951 Marriage records book R (cont.), 1947-1951, item 1 This marriage record is problematic in multiple ways. Poor handwriting and poor transcription practice has this indexed under F. M. Byram. Clearly, by the example set for J. V. Benbra, that first letter of the surname cannot be a B. Further compounding the identity is the usage of initials for the given name of the groom. How would you go about finding the correct name for this individual?…

…close to the main channel. Much like Fort Morgan, Fort Gaines has two distinct eras of fortification, the original Third System fort, and later Endicott period gun batteries.

Although less elaborate than some of the earlier fortifications, it has many unique and interesting features. Fort Gaines is an Alabama State Park, and is located on the eastern tip of Dauphin Island, near Mobile, Alabama. In the foreground are the mounts for the barbette cannon, and

Biography of Dr. Nathaniel Macon Bledsoe

Memorial record of Alabama

…connection with his extensive practice. So valuable have been his services as a physician that, when the war opened, his neighbors strenuously resisted his entering the army, although he was anxious to do so. To oblige them he remained at home and cared for the sick and destitute without compensation, and he has ever since given his professional services gratuitously to the poor families of fallen soldiers. So boundless is his benevolence, that, although he has no children of his own, he has expended thousands of dollars on the education of the offspring of others – in one instance alone…
