This web site is devoted to the genealogy of my children. I hope one day they can look at these pages and know where they cam from. I research the Pickle, Ray, Green, Shewbart, Weeks, and Stanford families. The Pickle, Ray, Stanford, and Weeks families are found primarily in Lamar County, Alabama and Monroe County, Mississippi. The Shewbarts and there allies are concentrated in Franklin and Colbert County, Alabama. Finally the Green research is centered in Lawrence County, Tennessee and Lauderdale County, Alabama.
Through the years genealogy has replaced almost all of my other hobbies. Unfortunately my hobby sometimes suffers because I have to work for a living. So, I have the honor to teach high school biology at Calhoun High School in northern Georgia.

Families
The following
is a list if families that have entered my research for a short period
of time and that I carry relatively short files on. In many cases the file
represents the work of other researchers that were gracious enough to share
their work and that is noted in the file.
Family of A.A. Pearce
This section is devoted to historical points of interest to my research. Many of these started out as a question I had or another researcher posed to me. Some of them are important historical items that really do not fit into a family file.
William Norton's Irvin Family I am very excited and proud to be able to share the work of William Norton with the people that visit these pages. William has done a ton of work on the Irvin and Ray families that appear within these pages. He is using my website to post some of his excellent work. Direct your questions to me and I will make sure he gets them. He is the authority, not me.

Voices of the Past Kathy Wilcox descends from Pickles and Lowry's that left Monroe County, Mississippi and settled in Salt Lake City, Utah in the mid 1800's. The letters that she discovered in her grandfather's procession give use a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors. It seems ironic the folks that make up the many branches of the Pickle family and related families do not of know of their independent existence. However, our ancestors remembered the folks they left behind and the "connections" that had went west. The link will take you to a list of the letters that are loaded at this time. As time allows I will add more letters. The transcribers have chosen to leave the spelling as is. There may be a few changes, as I check my wrong spelling and preserve the original.
The Family of Sarah Emma "Sally" Pickle and Daniel Curry Stone Much of what is known about Sally Pickle Stone and her family comes from the lines of letters penned over a hundred years ago. Sally wrote several letters to her relatives in Utah. These letters were discovered by Kathy Wilcox in her grandfather's possessions.

Picture Checklist. This page is devoted to the enormous volume of pictures I seem to be collecting. Note -- these are not links to pictures. If you find a description that interest you, then e-mail me and I will send it to you. The format is not the best in the world. I am toying around with a couple of more user friendly designs.
Sumter County Alabama Interest: I spent about most of the 1980's in Sumter County, Alabama either as an undergraduate, graduate student, or environmental chemist. During this time, I spent a lot of hours researching Confederate soldiers and their lives. Most of the work is either handwritten or types in old Apple IIe documents. Occasionally, when times allows, I transcribe on of these old documents and post here.
Index to the Census or Enumeration of Confederate Soldiers Residing in Alabama for the Year 1917 in Sumter County. I copied these from a collection of data provided by Jud Arrington many years ago. I left Sumter County shortly after acquiring the data and have lost contact with most people I knew when I was there. I plan to eventually post all of the information I collected in those days. Hopefully, somebody may find something useful from this material.
Our Confederate Heros This is a transcription of the names on the statue located in the Court House square in, Livingston, Sumter County, Alabama.
I used to have a guest book, but not many signed it. To tell the truth I never sign them either. If you need to contact me, which I hope you do, I can be reached at either of the e-mail addresses below
