Lawrence County Alabama Notes
| I need help finding the parents of Rachel McNUTT, who married Edmund NICHOLS about 1826 in Lawrence Co, Al. These are my my ggg-grandparents. To begin, I will try to clear up some confusion over two different Rachel McNUTT's in the mix. My Rachel was a McNUTT by birth, [1809]. The other was Rachel HAVINS, b. 1797 to James HAVINS & wife Sarah MILLER. Rachel HAVENS married 1st to a GUEST [spelling may be incorrect]. Little is known about the 1st marriage or how it ended. Next she married Thomas TOLBERT on 12-07-1820. [TOLBERT had 1st mar. Cynthia HAVINS, Rachel's older sister. That marriage apparently ended with the early death of Cynthia.] Thomas TOLBERT died in 1821, leaving Rachel a widow. She married for the 3rd time to Emanuel McNUTT on Dec 31, 1822. I’m only speculating, but I believe my Rachel McNutt NICHOLS was either a sister or a close cousin to Emanuel McNUTT. Please contact me if you have any information, remarks, or questions.
