I have several questions concerning this portion of your post:
P2.6.1.2.1.1.1 William James Posey was born about 1823 in N.C. and was married in Montgomery Co. AL about 1841 to Eliza Ann Baize, who was born about 1822. She died in Lauderdale Co. AL and he died there after 1860. They had 13 known children.
In my research I have found him in Lauderdale County, AL on the 1850 district 1 census. His birth place states TN.. You have his birth place as N.C. Where did you find this?
Also you have him and Eliza married in Montgomery county and I found the marriage license in Lauderdale County, AL marriage book 5 page 19 ( William Posey and Eliza A Baize 12/14/1842). Where did you get your dates from?
I have yet to find him before 1850. I am currently working on Tn census records. I also have only 12 known children. I descend from his son Willis. Willis L married Susan Ada Caperton in Lawrence County Alabama on Aug 25, 1876. She is listed as Ada on marriage book but on the 1900 census she is listed as Susan A. Willis' son Hugh Earl is my great-grandfather.
