I am told this picture was taken Spring
1928 at Concord School. The sixth boy from left, back row
is Quinton Eugene Wright, 1918-1993. He and his wife Ruby
Williams Wright were killed in an auto accident July 27, 1993 in
Cullman Co AL. If you can get the names of the other
students and teacher, I would appreciate the list. Thanks
again.

I am descended from Andrew Jasper Vines, brother of
Lattie. I was in Birmingham (Alliance) visiting my father and also
at a meeting where we are trying to make plans for a massive Vines
reunion to take place in 2001. While I was there my father started
talking about a small family cemetery. It turned out to be a small
plot next to the old Lat Vines homeplace. I had not until this time
known where Lattie and Lucinda were buried. There were only 5 graves
consisting of Lattie, Lucinda, Wife of A.O. Richardson, Daughter of
A.O. Richardson, and Son of A.O. Richardson. You probally already
knew of these graves but I thought David Reed might like to know
since he doesn't have them listed on the cementery site. I know I'm
rambleing but I was really excited to find these graves.

In your April Newsletter there was reference to the 3
Waldrop brothers coming from North Carolina in 1818. There were 4
Waldrop brothers who came: Joseph, Robert, Zachariah and Eziekel.
Eziekel and his family stayed only a short time. From here they
moved on to Samantha in Tuscaloosa County. Still later they moved on
to Mississippi and eventually wound up in Tennessee. These brothers
were all born in North Carolina but they left and went to South
Carolina (Spartanburg). From South Carolina they went to Kentucky
and possibly did not stop but a very short time and then came to
Jefferson County. One of Robert's sons was born (Andrew Jackson
Waldrop) in Kentucky. All of my info had believed that they came
from the Carolina's too. I,too, was most surprised to find that
maybe there was a detour.

One of the oldest residential communities is the
Crest. This tract of land was partitioned off as lots in the
late 30's and early 40's, with my parents buying several lots.
Also, Pope Crest, houses build on property formerly owned by the
Lowery family.
