Hello All,
I have enclosed some infomation on Henry Co, AL and my husband's Sellers
line. I understand that Rufus is the s/o Matthew. Is there any
documentation?
I need some help with the parents of Amanda C. Jones if anyone knows
anything.
Thanks
Margie Williams

Rufus lived near Cottonwood, AL in that part that became Houston. I think
it is about 5 miles from the Florida state line. Nancy went to Jackson Co, FL
to get married. And the family did a lot of traveling across the state
lines.
