LaJuana,
You mean all this time we been chatting we didn't know we had something
in common.
Well you came up with a name I've been looking for for over 15 years.
That name being the father of Wilson.
Wilson Lafayette CHARACTER (kARAKER & etc.).
My grandmother Lexia Belle CHARACTER is a daughter of Wilson. Can you
imagine this? WOW, Thanks for posting to the list this info. I have the
line from Wilson pretty good as follows:
Wilson Lafayette CHARACTER & Mary Jane McCLAIN
1. Jinsey b: Cot 1883
2. Walter b:Dec 1884
3. Lillie b:Sep. 1887
4. Delila Anne (aka Pink) b:Oct 1889
5. James Franklin b:Jun 12,1891
6. Milburn W. b:May 13,1892
7. Idus Stephen b:Jun 1894
8. Lexia Belle b:Nov 4, 1901 (my grandmother)
This information given to by my grandmother, which she had taken from
old family bible, which is supposedly still in family somewhere in and
around Anniston, AL. She showed me when I was a child where the family
changed the spelling from KARACKER to CHARACTER. I only regret I din't
write down where it changed and with whom. There was a story from her
that someone embarrassed one of her brothers or uncles that he wasn't
smart enough to spell his name right, they told him how to spell it and
I guess that was it from then on.
I've been to Wilson's grave in Lineville, when I was just a pup. My
brother (with the help of my father) stuck a penny under the headstone.
We keep saying that we will go back and see if that lo penny is still
there.
Are you related to Daniel?
Thanks,
Julys

Good Morning Cousins....
I am looking for a Daniel CARECTER born in North Carolina or Georgia between
1784-1797. His wife's name was Gemima ? I found them on the 1870 US Federal
Census in Lineville, Clay Co. Alabama with the spelling CHARACTER. The 1880
census shows him to still be in Lineville living with his daughter Margaret
and her husband Aaron M. DEWBERRY. The 1880 census has the name spelled
CARECTOR. Daniel and Gemima had 6 children:
Louisa b. abt 1840 GA
Margaret S. b.abt 1840 GA m. Aaron M. Dewberry June 9, 1858 in Tallapoosa Co.
AL
Giles b. abt 1843 GA
Wilson L. b. Jan 9, 1852 AL m. Mary Jane MCClain
William W. b. abt 1859 AL
Sarah b. abt 1861 AL
Any information on Daniel or any of his children would be greatly
appreciated.
Many thanks and have a great day!
