1 JAMES (1) LATTA
Born 1760 in Orange Co., NC, and died 1856 in Madison Co., AL.
Married: NANCY ALLEN on August 24, 1790 in Orange Co., NC. (Book of
North and South Carolina Marriage Records), She was the daughter of
JACOB ALLEN and JOANNA CAIN. (Will of Jacob Allen - Orange
County Will Book D-178 - Jan 13, 1806. Leaves sons Jacob Allen and
William Allen land; lists daughters Betsey Allen, Sally Allen, Hannah
Allen, Nancy Allen, Cynthia Scarlett; Executor Son-in-law James Latta
and son Jacob Allen. Witnesses: William Cain, Sr., John Kelley, and
Cuthbert Burton (x).) (Orange Co. NC Will Book D-510 - Will of
Stephen Scarlett July 6, 1817 states that his wife was Sally,
daughters Rachel and Synthia, unmarried, sons, James and John,
daughters, Elizabeth Cain, Mary Latta (married #9 James Latta of
Branch 9), Sally Latta, Jane Latta (married #4 Thomas Latta of
Branch 7), Susanna Cole, Rachel Scarlett and Synthia Scarlett)
(See end notes for more information on James.) James held land grants
in Madison County, AL and Limestone Co., AL as early as 1816. He
lived in Limestone Co., AL until his wife died in 1831, when he moved
to Madison County, AL. He left his Limestone County property to his
daughters, Sarah and Mary. Sarah and Mary sold the land in 1833 to a
John Latta, probably their brother.
Here is what I have on the James Latta that migrated to Limestone,
AL., although I do not show a son Thomas.

Will of Jacob Senior Allen: 13 Jan 1806 / Nov Ct 1806
Son: Jacob Allen, land on s side of Eno River
Son: William Allen, land on n side of Eno River
Dau: Sally Allen, Betsy Allen, Hannah Allen, Nancy Latta,
Cynthia Scarlett,
Exr: Son in law James Latta, son Jacob Allen
Wit: WILLIAM CAIN SR, John Kelley Sr, Cuthbert (x) Burton.
Deed 1812 Orange Co., NC James Latta Jr. sells to Cleaton
Lynch, 100 acres on Ellibees Cr. Signed James Latta Jr. Wit; Howard
Wheeler and Jacob Latta.
Deed 1814 John Glenn to Solomon Wood 88 acres Wit: James Latta
and Jacob Latta.
Deed 1816 James Latta and his wife Nancy sold intrests to
William Cain the younger.
James and Nancy moved from Orange Co., North Carolina to Limestone
Co., Alabama around 1825, Even though James held land grants in both
Limestone Co. and Madison Co., as early as 1816. They lived in
Limestone Co. from about 1825 to 1831, where Nancy probably died. He
turned over his property to his two daughters and moved to Madison Co.
James briefly married Marsilla Ray, about 1836. The marrage only
lasted a couple of years because in a land transaction in 1838 they
refer to each other as "the late wife" and "former husband". Marsilla
signed the transaction so she was still alive. They must have been
seperated or divorced. In the 1850 census of Madison Co., Alabama
James was living with Elias and Fanny Wilbern (relationship not
known). James' son Walter, and his family, remained in Limestone Co.
until 1859-60, when they moved to Blount Co., Alabama. The whereabouts
of John, Jacob,
Sarah, and Mary are unknow at this time; however, Sarah and Mary are
known to have remained in Limestone Co. until 1833 where they sold
land their father bequeathed them. At this time Sarah signed as "Sarah
Criss" and her husband , John Criss also signed. John Latta and his
wife Elizabeth sold land in 1833, and Jacob Latta bought some land in
1840, all in Limestone Co.
Children:
2 WALTER ALLEN (2) b. 1804, NC; d. Aft. 1880, Blount
County, AL.
3 MARY (2) married Samuel Graham as his
2nd wife between 1831 and 1835. Mary Latta Graham was a widow by 1840
with 3 children to raise: Francis A(Frank), John L, and Mary Graham.
Mary Latta Graham remained in Limestone Co., AL until her death around
1897/1898.
4 SARAH (2) m. JOHN CRISS, 1831-1833, Limestone Co., AL.
This marriage is deduced from land records showing land deeded to
sisters, Mary and Sarah Latta, by father James in April 1831. This
same land is sold in part in Jan 1833 by John & Sarah Criss, and Mary
Latta to John Latta. Sarah Latta Criss, disappeared from
the Limestone Co records by 1840, but there are some clues that her
family may have moved on to Mississippi which need to be explored
properly; namely, a land transaction by John Criss of MS was listed in
the Limestone Co. land records.
5 JOHN (2) m. ELIZABETH T. DANNA, Apr 04, 1833, Limestone
Co., AL. John Latta married Elizabeth T or Y Danna and disappeared
from the Limestone
Co. records by 1840. No clues found yet on his movements.
6 JACOB ALLEN (2).Jacob Allen Latta
also disappeared from the Limestone Co area around the same time;
however, I recently ran across a Madison Co., AL newspaper tidbit
announcing an upcoming church meeting being led by guest minister, Rev
Jake Latta, dated after 1840, which gives me a clue where to look
next.
2 WALTER ALLEN (2) LATTA
James (1) Walter Allen Latta was born 1804 in North Carolina, and

Notes: for 1 JAMES (1) LATTA: LATTY, JOHN. "On the 30th ult., JAMES
LATTY, an old citizen of this County in the 102nd year of his age. He
was a native of North Carolina, but had lived on the head waters of
Brierfork for two generations. He volunteered in the revolutionary
war; but his father, being in a helpless condition, furnished means
for a substitute for his son." The Southern Advocate, Huntsville,
April 11, 1860. It is attributed to Thomas M. Owen's 'Revolutionary
Soldiers in Alabama -
http://www.asc.edu/archives/al_sldrs/l_list.html
*Note: Don't know if we're talking about the same
James Latta, but it was too close to ignore. It would put James's
birth date at 1758 and his death date at 1860 which conflicts with the
probate record for 1856. Guess what I have to do??
Notes about;
8 ROBERT T (3) LATTA (Corporal)
Enlisted at age 21 at Murphee's Crossroads 2/6/1862. Sick in Blount
County. POW at Stone River, TN and sent to Camp Douglas, ILL
12/31/1862. POW at Missionary Ridge and sent to Rock Island Prison on
12/5/1863. Paroled and admitted to General Hospital, Petersburg, VA on
4/6/1863. Furloughed for 60 days 5/19/1865 Complaint: Scalpt headf.
Note from E.D. Wilson - 28th AL CAV history buff: "I think that the
Robt A maybe a misprint-said he was Blount Co and age 21,so.. You
might try Al for a death certificate-not sure they are public record.
Al Archives has a nice web page, too. I think Robt was captured
twice-Stone River or Murfreesboro battle was 12/31/1862 to 1/3/1863.
The battle at Missionary Ridge was 9/1863 and the 28th suffered heavy
casualties. It seems that the 28th POW'S all went to Rock Island, Ill.
The conditions were terrible and a lot of CSA soldiers died there.
