"If I'm not mistaken, the McAdory family in Alabama originated in York District SC, leaving about 1800. The Thomas McAdory whose home still exists today was born in Christian County KY in 1817. Shortly afterward the McAdorys removed to the newly-opened Alabama territory. If I'm not mistaken, some member(s) of the family moved to Mississippi about fifteen years later"
. . . might you be able to add some dates (particularly birth and death dates) and additional county names if you have them - so I might check it more closely? I am particularly interested in your statement that "the McAdory family in Alabama originated in York District SC, leaving about 1800." for my own Thomas McAdory's Will was recorded Feb 18, 1790, Will Book "A-12 P-46" in York County and makes mention of his wife, Ann, and his children (as of the recording date) Elizabeth, Martha and Mary. Does your Thomas who was born in Christian County KY in 1817 have children named Elizabeth, Martha and Mary? If not, who do you show your Thomas' wife's and children's names?
It appears we are talking about two different Thomas McAdorys who, possibly, are in the same McAdory line - yours, born in Christian County in (or about?) 1817, and mine born before November 14th, 1789 (the date he signed his will).
Thanks, Dennis
