Generation No. 1 1. ANDERSON 2 SEALE (JAMES 1 ) 1 was born Abt. 1803 in Fairfield District, South Carolina 2,3,4,5,6, and died 21 Dec 1889 in Greenville, Butler County, Alabama 7. He married (1) MARY ANN (POLLY) ARMSTRONG 8,9 1824 in Butler County, Alabama 10. She was born Abt. 1806 in South Carolina 11,12,13, and died 1871 14. He married (2) JANE RODGERS 13 Jun 1872 in Butler County, Alabama 15. She was born Abt. 1838 16, and died Aft. 1889 17. Notes for ANDERSON SEALE: Anderson s obituary refers to 13 children, but only 10 are accounted for here, plus the unidentified female under five on the 1830 census. There is about a five-year gap between Amanda and Charles, which would account for her. Then there is about a six-year gap between Herbert and Melissa, allowing for two more.

Notes for REUBEN HARRISON SEALE: Ida Carrie Seale, pg 18, has his birthyear as 1831, but it was consistently 1834 on 1850 and 1880 censuses. 1900 gives 1834. She says he married Cattie and settled in Tennessee; served in CW; names children "Fletcher, High (sic), Guy, William and others". Reuben s wife s name on the 1870 census (blurred) looks like "McCattey". Since her name seems to vary from McOttrey to Mccottey to McCortrey, maybe it was McAutrey. Stallings Family Records, Supplement by James Henry Stallings, San Antonio, TX 1977, pg 70, also lists Fletcher and Guy, but no source.
