James Stuart and Mary Matthews, of Wilcox County, Alabama
300 pages, size 8 1/2 x 11, acid-free paper; hard binding
End Notes and every-name index.

Cost: $50 [includes s & h]

Appendix: Abstracts of land records, probate and other court records, military records, Bible records, marriages, showing sources of these records.

This is a series of monographs written over a period of several years, tracing the social history of a large family. [There are no ancestor charts and no family group sheets.] My goal was to discover the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of James Stuart (b 1769) and his wife Mary Doak Matthews (b 1772), thus cutting off after the four generations.

The families are traced from their arrival in 1718, through their moves into Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, and on to Tennessee and Alabama. Inevitably, I have given more time and research to the families from which I descend directly, but also have tried to list some data found on the various children and later descendants of all these families.

Allied families include: Albritton, Carnes, Doak, Ethridge, Hall, Hanna, Houston, Howey, Jones [from Edgefield SC], Matthews, Palmore, and Smith from Mecklenburg NC.

SUMTER COUNTY, ALABAMA WILLS 1828-1872 MORTALITY SCHEDULES 1850-1880. The book contains detailed abstracts of wills filed in the Sumter County courthouse from the period of 1828 to 1872. These wills give information on many early Sumter County settlers, their heirs, and their slaves. The Sumter County mortality schedules have been transcribed in full detail from federal mortality schedules for the decennial years of 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. 

Because of the proximity of these two counties to each other and the close ties between many early Sumter and Kemper residents, this book would be a tremendous resource to many people who are doing genealogical research on this area.

Additionally, many of the early settlers were from other locales before they settled in Sumter County, and these earlier locales have been identified in the book. Counties are mentioned from states such as North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, etc.

The book is in hardcover, it is 496 pages in length, and it has an every-name index. The price of the book is $34.95 plus $4 shipping/handling. Texas residents also should add 8.25% sales tax. The book can be ordered from:
