I've been doing some research on the Acton family and some of it is spotty. I'm a descendent of Stephen Vincent Acton from Shelby county Alabama. My geneology is linked to Captain John James Acton. Faye Acton wrote "The Actons a Quest for Family History" and all my Actons are listed in her book. From my understanding, the Acton's, Lee's, Bailey's, Sellers, and Morris families are all connected because they were early pioneers of Alabama. I found some history about my family located in the Shelby county museum in Alabama.
