Have you checked the Autauga County website at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~alautaug/. Marriage and cemetery information
listed might be helpful to you.

I had the following information in my files - it might be helpful.
slaves listed in James Robinson will: Bob (about 57 yrs old); Joe (~50
yrs); Will (~43 yrs old); Betsy (~23 yrs old); Aaron (~16); Grace (~2);
Jenny (~54); Alsey (~18) and her child Boling; Elvey (16); Pompy (70 yrs);
Peggy (60); Caroline (12) and Isaac (29).

I have somewhere here a will for Todd Robinson, but must have misfiled it.

>From John Lamar's will (date approximately 1857), the following names that
you mentioned are listed: Jefferson, Wesley, Mima, Betsy and Kitty (40) and
Kitty (2).
