Thanks Jean for your quick response to my reply.This is a shot in the dark for us but in genealogy research you have to check out every lead.I am a descendant of Emma Frances CURRY, born 18-Aug-1857 near Red Level, AL.Sometime after the end of the Civil War, my great grandfather Curry (His first name may have been Ebenezer) moved his family to Texas leaving behind only his eldest married daughter, Lou.She had many children and may have had more than one husband.I haven't a clue as to whether Samuel McDANIEL was Lou's husband.
I lived in Mobile, Alabama in the mid 1960's and my mother and I established contact with some of Lou Curry's descendants in AL & FL (Surnames = KNIGHTEN, WHIDDEN or WHIDDON, DURRELL, & TIBBS OR TIBBETS). Unfortunately, my mother died 30 years ago and I do not know how to contact any of these descendants.
I'm posting this information on this Forum with the faint hope that someone may make a connection with one of these names.These are all people that I met in about 1966.Nettie Knighten was from Montgomery County, AL, the Whidden/Whiddon's were all over south Alabama (the family that I met was from Mobile), Ada Durrell(? sp) was from Pensacola (she had siblings named George, Velma, Frank, Alton & Zack), and the Tibbs/Tibbets (not sure of this surname) were living northeast of Red Level in what may have been Lou Curry's old home place.This is where I met one of Lou Curry's granddaughters, Sophrina.
I recall that we visited with some of Ada's relatives in Andalusia and, along with Nettie and Ada, we visited a rather large cemetery in Red Level (I believe it was adjacent to a Baptist Church) where Lou Curry (and some descendants) are buried.
I invite you, or anyone reading this message, to post a reply or e-mail me if you think you have a connection.
