    Descendants of Rauley STONE First Generation 1. Rauley STONE1 was born about 1801 in South Carolina. He died2 27 Jan 1892 in Razburg, Jefferson Co., Alabama and was buried1 in Mud Creek Baptist Church Cemetery #2, Jefferson Co., Alabama. Rauley STONE was born about 1801 in South Carolina, and married Tabitha "Tabby" PARSONS in South Carolina sometime prior to 1827. Between 1831 and 1836 Rolly and Tabby, along with four children, made their way to Jefferson Co., Alabama, where at least three additional children would be born. In 1839, two different land patents for 40 acres each would be issued to Rauley (SESE S7 T19-S R6-W and NENW S18 T19-S R6-W see the map with the scrapbook link in multimedia edition). It is presumed they settled on this land and this is where they would raise their family. In July, 1845 Rauley and Tabitha became members of the Mud Creek Baptist Church (Jefferson Co, AL), where they were members until May 1858. Several of their children also joined the church, all when they were about 16 or 17 years old. The children, and the month when they joined the church are as follows: Amanda, Dec 1844; Lucinda, Feb 1845; Nancy, Mar 1845; William, Aug 1847; and Merritt, Sep 1852. In 1850 Rauley's occupation is noted as "farmer" and their land was valued at $300. Also living in the household in 1850, with their approximate age, were wife Tabby (52), and the following children: Nancy (22), Amanda (20), William (18), Merritt (14), Sarah (10) and Robert (8).
  • Proposed 2013-2014 General Hunting Regulations Approval

    Proposed 2013-2014 General Hunting Regulations Approval

    Proposed 2013-2014 General Hunting Regulations Approval Committee: Regulations Date: April 17, 2013 Explanation: Recommended revisions for hunting related regulations and new proposals were presented at the March meeting for Commission review and consideration. The regulations committee voted unanimous to strike the recommendation to change the checking time from 24 to 12 hours from the proposals last month. The amended proposals will be presented at this meeting for Commission approval. These proposals include calendar adjustments, code revisions and code clarifications. Included, with the backup material, is a summary of recommended changes and a color coded copy of affected codes. Prepared by: David Goad 2013-2014 HUNTING REGULATIONS SUMMARY OF PROPOSALS Deer 1. Add all states and Canadian Provinces to the carcass importation restriction list in code 05.26, by adding this language addendum S1.01 can be deleted. The lands between the Mississippi River levees in neighboring states of Tennessee and Mississippi will be excluded. Code/Addendum: 05.26, S1.01 Justification The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission approved the carcass importation restriction in October 2005 as an attempt to decrease Arkansas’s chances of acquiring CWD via infected carcass importation. Currently, 36 states and five Canadian provinces have a ban or restriction on the importation of hunter harvested cervid parts. With the spread of CWD, new states are becoming positive on an annual basis. The spread of this disease is directly linked to the transportation of live cervids and cervid carcasses. In order to increase Arkansas’s protection and increase consistency in our regulations, this proposal would place all states and Canadian provinces on the carcass importation restriction list.
