I have lived here in Orlando, Florida sence my family moved here where I was 6 in 1954. Any help or advice that you could offer me in locating the names of my ancestors would be appreciated. My gf was Carl E. Thompson, my ggf was Ramzi Thompson, and my gggf was Jacob. I remember going to an old family cemetary on top of a hill on Chestnyt ridge many years ago but most of the grave stones or wood markers were gone. I look forward to visiting your sight again. I'm glag my roots are from Russell county as it is one of the most lovely places on earth. Thank you, Richard

Comments: Wonderful site. I am looking for proof of marriage of Rebecca Berry born about 1785 in Russell County and married Jacob Burton. He died travelling to Kentucky. Their daughter Catherine, is my 3rd great grandmother. There seems to be a dispute if she is the same Berry who married Caleb Litton. Does anyone have any information? Thanks!
