In Reply to: Murchison Family listed in 1880 Census Alabama St.Clair by Susan Taylor of 485

In the 1860 census of Wolf Creek and Cropwell Twps, St. Clair County, AL, I found the following. This indicates that the mother of your John Flavius was most likely the "Caroline T" listed below.

!CENSUS: 1860 Cropwell, St. Clair, AL (p 210) Wm A Merchison 26 farmer $0/315 NC, Caroline T 20 housewife GA [18 July]

It appears that John C. Murchison (likely the father of Wm. A.) also had a second family. I believe that Elizabeth, Sofrona and Susan listed below were probably the children of his 2nd wife, Lucinda.

!CENSUS: 1860 Wolf Creek, St. Clair, AL (p 226) John Merchison 50 farmer $0/390 SC, Lucinda 24 housewife GA crw, Eliza A 15 domestic SC, Margaret C 10 AL, Elisha C 8 AL, Elizabeth V 4 AL, Sofrona A 1 AL, Susan M 1/12 AL [26 July]

Two single men were also found in Cropwell Twp. John and Samuel were likely the sons of John C. and brothers to your Wm. A. Murchison.

!CENSUS: 1860 Cropwell, St. Clair, AL (p 197) Samuel Merchison 25 student com sch $0/0 SC lvg w/Sydney Coleman & family [12 July]

!CENSUS: 1860 Cropwell, St. Clair, AL (p 202) John Merchison 18 farm laborer NC lvg w/John W Jones family [13 July]
