    Notes 
    • John P. and Mary Ann (Rucker) Gailey were newlyweds when the Lawrence County 1840 census was taken.  Ten years later John was employed as a plantation overseer and the family had grown to seven persons.  John began to purchase land in Lawrence County in 1852.  A deed of conveyance was made by Robert P. and Elizabeth Ann Henderson to John P Gailey for 120 acres of land in Lawrence County.  The deed was recorded in July, 1852.
      Mary Ann (Rucker) Gailey's widowed mother, Mary I. Rucker, died intestate in 1852.  The Lawrence County Probate Court appointed her son-in-law John F. Goodwin, as Administrator of Mary Rucker's estate.  John R. Bristow, Gandy Key and George W. Alexander submitted an inventory of the estate to the Court on 28th August, 1852.  The Probate Court issued a decree during the December term, 1852, ordering the Administrator to offer at public sale the estate of Mary Rucker.  The sale was held on 15th January, 1853.  The following names appear in the court document as persons who made purchases during the sale: William Mullennix, John P. Gailey, J. N. Sandlin, Elisha Rucker, Thomas R. Free, Mrs. John Goodwin, G. W. Alexander, James Wise, David Filyow, Peter J. Key, Joseph Terry, Jacob Free, Fae Fore, Mrs. John P. Gailey and Thomas W. Free.
      John Goodwin, by decree of the court, sold the land of the deceased Mary Rucker at public sale held in 1853.  Mary's daughter, Elitia, bought the land.  John P. Gailey signed her note for the land.
      John F. and Martha Goodwin made a deed of conveyance to John P. Gailey for 80 acres of land.  The deed was recorded on 26th January, 1857.  Martha Goodwin was a sister to Mary Ann Gailey.
      On the 7th March, 1857, Henry J. and Eliza J. Key made a deed of conveyance to John P. Gailey for the North West Quarter of Section 24 in Township 6 and Range 8 West together with improvements.
      John P. Gailey purchased a little over 100 acres of land in Lawrence County on 1st March, 1858.  The land was purchased from the US Land Office in Huntsville, AL.
      John Moore sold to John P. Gailey the East one-half of South East one-fourth of Section 28 and West one-half of South West one-fourth of Section 27 and North East one-fourth and South West one-fourth of North West one-fourth of Section 27, all in Township 6 of Range 8 West.  The deed was recorded on 16th January, 1860.
