I am interested in finding out the names of Baptist churches in Boligee
around 1880-1910, especially those with cemeteries.

My family (BOLTON) lived just south of the Sipsey River on land owned
today by Weyerhauser Paper Co. Before the Civil War, there were at
least 60 families on a section of land in that area. I am also
interested in McKINNEYs, JESSE JONES, MASSEYs, STURDEVANTs, GOODWINS and
REEVESes. In the 1840's most of James BOLTON's children began moving to
Franklin Co., but 2 children (Mabry and James, Jr.) stayed in
present-day Greene County. Mabry's only son died as a young man; his
daughters married STURDEVANT and GOODWIN, and I then lost track of them.

James BOLTON, Jr. moved to Boligee in 1880. His widowed daughter
Rebecca CHILDERS and his grandson John REEVES also lived with the
family.

I am interested in info on the above families, but would also like info
on anyone researching the extreme northern part of Greene Co. just south
of the Sipsey River.
