      An interesting fact is that in the 1850 Sumter County Alabama Census, there is a John Kearney listed. Choctaw County was previously part of Sumter County. This John Kearney lived near John Carney and Mary A Simmons. This John Kearney states that he was born in Ireland. It appears that his mother-in-law is also listed, as follows:

      John Kearney 33 M Ireland (born 1817)
      Hulda 33 F Alabama
      Michael 1 M Alabama
      Nancy Nucum 55 F North Carolina (Could be Mother-in-law)
