    1. My great-grandmother was Sephronia Theodosia Hayes (Hays) who was raised by Henry F. Fancher and his wife Charlotte McGuire Fancher in Bibb County. Sephronia married my great-grandfather, Henry Alfred Chadbourne. I would like to find information on the birth parents of Sephronia Theodosia Hayes (Hays). I would appreciate any help in researching her background.

  4. I recently discovered this site. As a native Alabamian, I greatly enjoy the Storied of my native state.
    I would respectively ask that when you refer to the “War”, please use the more accurate title for the war — The “War for Southern Independence” or better “The War of Northern Aggression”. We Southerners must correct the Lie that has been put on us by the victors. For a better understanding of those times read “The South Was Right” by the Kennedy Brothers. Also, “Sacred Conviction ” by Joseph Jay.
    Thank you
