Notes
a. Continued:   In the 1870's he was borrowing money to make a crop and ended up sharecropping in Jackson County, AL to feed his family. I have worked on this line for nearly 15 years and no nothing more than when I started. It is like this man sprang full grown upon the earth. There is nothing in Jackson County to indicate who his family was, where they came from or anything else of help. Help! There was a WEST family (headed by a Charles West) in the area during the years that Christopher was there, but there is no indication they were related. Charles loaned "Lum" some money in 1872 and filed a formal note with the Clerk as if he had been a stranger. He was in Newburg, Franklin County, Alabama in the 1900 census, listing a birthdate of May 1834. With him was daughter. The name appears to be Laverna, whose birthdate is listed as Nov 1880. I am inclined to believe it was Lurlina who was born in Nov. 1879. He was listed as a farmer and she as farm laborer.
