You are fortunate that some of these old homeplaces are still standing even tho they may not be habitable.<br /><br />Since my maternal GGGgrandparents, John A. Dyer and Lena MNU came to what they believed to be Marion County in 1830 (later to be Itawamba Co along hwy 23 on the southern Itawamba county line with Monroe County - the maps say Turon, I have climbed the hill to the tabletop area where their homestead was located -powdery white sand is all that remains next to the Dyer Cemetery. It makes your skin tingle to have those touching moments recalling where your roots began.<br /><br />My grandfather bought a Cody family farm in southwest Marion Co. AL in 1904 that contained the old Cody/Wright cabin located on the Amory, MS museum (old Amory Hospital) and I have memories of seeing it when I was less than 7 years old. It was a thrill to step inside the restored cabin in 2003 while attending a Cody family reunion.<br /><br />We look forward to reading of your ancestors - were they known to any of my paternal Stone ancestors who entered Alabma via St. Clair County also? Will I gain anything about my ancestors while reading about yours? bettyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
