Notes:

He first married Sarah Little and had one son, Davy. Then he married Mary E Bell who died very shortly afterward. I believe Beulah and Mary are her children with the remaining children belonging to Anna.

I don't know what happened to them after the 1920 Census. I need to add the rest of the sources to this family but most of it is from Census records in Nacogdoches County.

James married Anna F MILLS on 20 Feb 1885 in , Nacogdoches, Texas, USA. Anna (daughter of John MILLS and Martha ALDRIDGE) was born in 1856 in Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches, Texas, USA; died after 1919. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Name: Hannah F Mills

Notes:

I don't think any of these people knew when or where they were born. I chose this Anna because her middle initial is F and Amanda Mills lives with her. I don't necessarily believe she is the correct Ann. She may belong to the Shelby County bunch.

Notes:

Married:
The 1900 Census says they had been married 34 years but she was only 36 according to that census. I assume he was married as a young man.

John L Mills was a pastor in Shelby County, Texas.

"I, Ruby Rains Little, married Virgil H. Little, son of George Robert Little and Hettie Rainwater Little, lifetime residents of Rusk County, Wood Glen Community. It is said that the Rainwaters and Rains were originally of the same family and part Indian. My grandfather, John Duncan Rains of Shelby County, had a sister named America. She married Marcus Mills, grandfather and grandmother of John Mills of Rusk County."

Either Hannah or Mandy married a CLIFTON?

There are 1850 census records in Tennesse in Smith, Hardeman, Davidson and White counties.

Notes:

Drewry Jr. ALDRIDGE was married to Edith HARDY about 1786 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. Edith HARDY was born in 1768 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. She died before 1810 in Greene County, North Carolina. Drewry, Jr. ALDRIDGE and Edith HARDY had the following children:
i. Drewry, III. ALDRIDGE was born about 1787 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. He died in Texas. Moved to Texas via Ga with brothers Lemuel and Jesse
Seems that Drewry III sold his property on Bear Creek, Greene County, NC and moved to Baldwin County, GA. Where his cousin Thomas B Aldridge, Jr. lived. This was around 1818. He found a wife there, then moved to Jackson County, Alabama. His children were born in Alabama but then he moved to Nacogdoches, Texas.
It is said that Drewry Jr rode his horse twice to Texas to see his children and grandchildren.
ii. Lemuel Hardy ALDRIDGE was born about 1789 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. He died in Texas.

ALRIDGE, Drewry marr. BRANDLE, Sarah 14-DEC-1819, Surry, NC
Aldridge, Drury - Unknown Townships, Jackson, AL 1830 (male HOH 30-40; this is probably Drewry Aldridge of Dobbs/Greene Co, NC m. Sarah Brandle; son of Drewry and Edith Hardy; migrating to Texas].
Aldridge, Drury Unknown Townships, Marshall, AL 1840

It's possible that there are more children in this family. These are what remained for the 1850 Census in Texas.

There is more than one Drury Aldridge and I am not so sure that our Anna is Sarah Brandle or that our Drury married Sarah Brandle.
