John McAlister, Mobile Land Grants, Wasington County, AL

  of 768

I am wondering which Line this is. I think My Archibald
McAlester A28 line may related and to a William McAlister buried in SUmter COunty, AL Old Belmont Cemetery, Belmont, Sumpter Co., AL
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/al/sumter/cemeteries/belmont.txt
Dating from 1834 to 1972 the Old Belmont Church is still being used today.
William McAllister / b. June 24, 1784 / d. Oct. 14, 1853. (grave surrounded by iron fence.)
1816 Taxable Property Washington County, MS territory
William McAllister
William does not seem to be in the Clan McAlister Files? Sumter County AL, was formed from Washington, AL 1834, Choctaw County Al was Formed from Sumter and Washington, AL.
ALso Buried there is
Cooper, John 1848 1934

Cooper, Agnes 1841 1928
I am wondering how this may related to the John and Jennie Cooper Line J11 I am researching some Choctaw, AL Cooper Kin. I feel they relate. Archie sister could be K01 - Katherine McAllister Born 1802 in AL
Archie named a Daughter Catherine and a Dau Genetta. (Jenny)
I have not seen much on the Son John or William of John and Jennie Cooper so wondering if this might be them?
Thanks

This is probably the Same John McAlister and was along the Tombigbee around 1800's
He Could possibly be involved in Trade with John Forbes.
