Steve,
Your reply and offer of help are greatly appreciated.
I own copies of Helon Cutler’s books HENRY COUNTY ALABAMA RECORDS, VOLUME 1, CENSUS RECORDS and HENRY COUNTY ALABAMA RECORDS, VOLUME 2, MARRIAGE RECORDS. They are excellent and well worth the money. The books have helped me immensely with my family research. I was briefly in contact with Helon Cutler a number years ago, and she indicated that she was working on another Henry County book, but I haven’t heard a thing from her in a few years. Do you know if she is in good health and if a third Henry County volume is still in the works?
Helon Cutler’s valuable “Created List of People Living in Henry Co. in 1820-1829” has been very helpful, but during my research, I’ve discovered a handful of pre-1830 Henry county residents who Helen, despite her diligence, missed. For the record, I’ve appended these names to this posting. I suspect that you and other Henry County researchers have accumulated a few additional pre-1830 names, too, that aren’t included in Helon’s “Created 1820 Henry County Census.” Perhaps, in the spirit of Wikipedia, Linux, etc., we can improve and expand Helon’s important list by submitting additional names for inclusion in a new-and-improved recreated 1820 Henry County Census. What do you think? One obstacle to this project is a universally-available copy of Helon’s “Created 1820 Henry County Census.” A few years ago, I entered Helon’s list into an Excel spreadsheet to make!
it easier for me to compare it to other lists. I’d be happy to share my spreadsheet with you or anyone else (or post it on the message board), if I can obtain permission from Helon.
I covet your 33 different books on Henry County history. What a treasure trove! And, I appreciate your offer to do lookups, but I would feel guilty consuming your valuable time on my brick wall (determining where my GGGGrandfather John A. Chumney was before 1825 when he married my GGGGrandmother Milly Watts in Henry County). However, … Several of your previous postings were beneficial in identifying early Henry county settlers, and any additional information that you can glean and share from your library on where the pre-1825 Henry County pioneers came from would be greatly appreciated and possibly helpful to others as well as to me. Of course, if you ever bump into specific information on my GGGGrandfather’s whereabouts prior to 1825, that would constitute manna from heaven.
Best regards,
Jim Chumney
