Carol:
No answers, just more questions.
Did A.J. remarry a Catherine Green Moore and if so did he have another child
by her Maude b. 1914 that married a Eugene "Boney" Moore born 1908. If so do
you have information on what happened to Catherine, Maude and Eugene?
The rumor I have on the cousin that was alledged to have been murdered was
David Shaw Headley, buried at Mount Pisgah about 1905, the same year a son was
born by a Carrie Anne Wilson (of which I also lack dates and parentage). The
son was named Mason Jason Headley and I don't know what became of him either.
Also, is Bettie buried at Liberty Cemetery with A.J.? Can you help with any
of these questions?

From: (Carol Moody)
To:
My great grandfather, Alfred Joshua ALDRIDGE, b. abt 1862/1864 in AL, married
my great grandmother Bettie
MATTHEWS in Chilton Co. in 1885. Bettie is supposed to be the daughter of
Polly MIMS who married 1st John
HEADLEY, 2nd John W. DuBOSE and 3rd Jefferson (Dick?) EDWARDS. In the 1880
Chilton Co. census Bettie is listed as the stepdaughter of the head of the
house (Jeff EDWARDS) and is presumably the dau. of the lady of the house, who
is the Polly listed above. My questions are
1. Who is the father of Bettie MATTHEWS?
2. Who are the parents of Alfred Joshua ALDRIDGE?
I can't find A.J. ALDRIDGE in the 1870 census for Chilton, as a child. Family
history says A.J. killed his cousin "Dutch" between 1903 and 1905 and I would
like any information regarding that as well. It is said that "Dutch" and
A.J. had a long standing "feud" but I have no details. A.J. died in Autauga
Co. in 1932 and was there from at least 1900 until his death.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
