BRADBERRY, STANLEY posted by Joe Walker on Wednesday, June 4, 1997

STANLEY/BRADBERRY connection. James STANLEY moved his family from NC to Henry Co. AL ca 1825. James BRADBERRY moved from NC about the same time and settled his family in Pike co. AL. I think that James STANLEY'S wife was Sarah BRADBERRY, daughter of James BRADBERRY. James & Sarah's first son was named James Bradberry STANLEY (my gg-grandad) In 1855 J.B.STANLEY moved his family to Trinity Co. TX. James STANLEY died in Henry Co, ca 1845 & James BRADBERRY died in Pike, Barbour or Russell Co. Any information would be appreciated.

MOYE, SCOTT posted by Lucy Moye on Tuesday, August 26, 1997

According to the family Bible, my great-grandmother's parents were Walter and Virginia SCOTT. The obituary of my great-grandmother, Augusta Lee SCOTT MOYE, says that she was born in Lee County, GA; my grandfather's Social Security affidavit says she was born in Calhoun County, GA--but if she was born either place, her family didn't stay there very long. Augusta Lee married my great-grandfather, William Henry MOYE, in Cuthbert, Randolph Co. GA, in 1887. I have finally succeeded in finding the family in the 1870 and 1880 census. In 1870, they were living in Glennville, Russell County, AL: V. A. SCOTT, wf, 40, born GA Walton (?) SCOTT, wm, 15, born AL John SCOTT, wm, 9, born GA Virginia SCOTT, wf, 8, born GA Augusta SCOTT, wf, 4, born GA In 1880, they were in Clay County, GA: V. A. SCOTT, wf, 50, NC/NC/NC J. S. SCOTT, wm, 19, GA//NC Gussie SCOTT, wf, 14, GA// Virginia did not identify herself as single, married, or widowed-- why? And clearly one of the two census takers got her state of birth wrong--but which one? And what was her maiden name? I'd like to find out what happened to Walter between 1865, when my great-grandmother was born, and 1870, and why the family was moving around so often, from Alabama in 1855 to Georgia during the War, then back to Alabama by 1870 and back to Georgia again by 1880. I'd also very much like to find some descendants of my great-grandmother's siblings in the hopes that they might be able to shed some light on this. On the basis of the 1900 Soundex, I suspect John *may* have wound up in Early County GA: John SCOTT, wm, born Oct. 1860 in GA, living in Arlington, Early Co. GA Emma SCOTT, Oct. 1859, GA Connie, son, Jan. 1882, GA Bernard, Mar. 1884 Cotton, S. Dec. 1887 Charley R. Nov. 1889 Sidney S., Sept. 1893 John A. Apr.1895 Mattie A. Dec. 1896 Emma M. Jan. 1899 Any and all leads will be greatly appreciated.
