ON THE HOME FRONT : Partisan Rangers, Malitia
"Governor Moore begged Jefferson Davis to send troops with which to defend the state, but to no avail. In desperation, Moore authorized the formation of the few remaining militia companies into Batavians of partisan rangers for state service. The companies of northeast Louisiana were combined to form the 13th Battalian, Partisan Rangers, under the Command of Colonel Frank Bartlett." From "A Place to Remember", by Georgia Payne Pinkston.

"William T. Sherman, sent by Grant from Memphis, arrived at Milliken's Bend on Christmas Day, 1862, with 30,000 troops.

Banner Democrat Saturday, July 22, 1899 Page 3
FROM AN OLD CONFEDERATE. -------- Canton, Ky., July 4, 1899. Mr. Editor: -- My object in writing you is to find out if some of my old comrades are yet in the land of the living. I went out with Company H, 3rd La. Volunteers, and our company was known as the Monticello Rifles, J.S. Richards, Captain; D. Hardeman, 1st Lieut.; C.A. Hedrick, 2nd Lieut.; Wm. Corban, 3rd Lieut. I have forgotten our orderly sergeant, but he was a good old man, and I think was discharged during the first year of the war. Then H.B. Briggs was made orderly, and served in that capacity until we stacked arms at Vicksburg, thirty-nine years ago to-day. Mr. Briggs was a native of the State of New York, and was as good a soldier as ever fired a gun; but I think our company was made up of as good material as could be found anywhere; officers and men were brave and fearless. I would be glad to hear from some of them. I am an old man now; will be sixty-four years old on the 11th of August, if I should live to that time. It has been so long since I lived in your parish that I have forgotten the names of a great many persons. I am a native of Kentucky, and went to Floyd in 1858, and did business in that place with my brother-in-law, G.M. Langford, and knew a great many people. If I could I would pay dear old Carroll a visit before I die. I had but one sister, and she sleeps on a mound two miles below Floyd, on what was then known as the Creed Motley place, but I will never be able to visit the spot. I know everybody would be strangers now; but if I could see the Lotts, the DeFrance's, the Cheatham's, Draughn, the Montgomery's, the Wyly's Roberts, Delony, Darden, Hanagan's, and a host of other good people, it would be a very great pleasure to me in my old age. Hoping this will be the means of finding some of my old friends.
I am respectfully,
J.A. HUMPHRIES.

"Arlington Plantation was a mansion filled with portraits of handsome men and beautiful women, Chippendale furniture, massive old silver, of azalea-bordered walks shaded by ancient oaks, and sweet scented jasmine along the way down to the boat landing on the lake.
Hastin M. Childers, and his wife, Matilda McGraw Childers, bought 1400 acres and founded the Arlington Plantation in 1824 spending $15,000 to have it built.
Its history includes the story of the death of Narcissa Jane Childers, their daughter, who refused to give up the handsome young son of the plantations' overseer. She was locked in an attic room on the third floor, until she agreed never to see him again. Three times aday, a large silver tray of food was brought up to her. She could eat if she promised to give up her lover. Three times a day the tray was returned untouched to the kitchen. She vowed that she would remain true to her one and only love. Day after day, week after week passed and she ate nothing. At last death mercifully end the romantic struggle. She died at the age of sixteen and today her tombstone lies at the front steps of the Arlington Plantation, as a reminder of unrequited love."

“Erin Plantation was located in Bunch’s Bend. The family names of Irish and Stowers are much involved in its ownership.
George Irish and his wife, Ann, purchased 1,156.8 acres in Bunch’s Bend in 1830. They had a daughter, Josephine. In his will, dated Sept. 1836, George left ½ of his property to his wife and ½ to Josephine.
Josephine married Gabriel Stowers. (see Lewiston Plantation) He purchased lots 18, 19, & 20, from Charles Morgan. Gabriel bought 513 acres fro $17,955, or $35. Per acre. He purchased an adjoining section 17, from Alexis Sappington - 163 acres at $40 per acre. These purchases became Erin Planation. When Gabriel died, the widow, Josephine Irish Stowers had remarried to Thomas L. VanFossen, and died in childbirth. Erin Plantation was sold on March 21, 1885, at Sheriff’s sale to George Washington Sentell. Sentell died in 1896, and his widow, Mrs. Mildred A. Dickson Sentell, sold to her daughter, Mrs. Susan Rebecca Sentell Barber, wife of Leonard Kellogg Barber, Erin and Hope Plantations and one fifth interest in the Glen Mary Plantation for $13,125. The Barbers lived on Erin Plantation until 1903. Erin & Hope Plantations were sold to Mrs. Barber’s son-in-law, Francis T. Constant. During the Barber occupancy there was always open house. Bounteous meals, lively parties, hilarious entertainment were provided by the fun-loving Barbers. A story is told of a later Barber widow and her three children. Suddenly one day they left the midday dinner table and boarded a boat tied up in front of the house and never returned. For years a skeleton of this once beautiful home remained. Gone were childish laughter, love, happiness, hopes and dreams of the past. Erin has been sold many times since then.” From “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston

It was located in the northern part of the parish. ‘Gossypia’, the Indian word meaning “cotton”. Early owner was George W. Goza, in 1835. His widow met and married Dr. Nathan G. Goffe, physician of New Orleans, and the old house was replaced with a new one, about 1857. The home was built of brick in a mixture of Moorish and Spanish style, the house of 2 stories had a square tower rising from the hipped roof. The front entrance had an oval-shaped door-way with side panels of embossed glass. The ceilings were high and the rooms large. A circular stair led to the second floor, where wall drawings were ascribed to Yankee soldiers who were quartered there during the Civil War. The family had to flee for safety during the Civil War, and the next recorded owner a family from Kentucky named Newcomb. They were followed by Jacob Owen, also of Kentucky. In 1896, Mr. Denis Brown of south Louisiana bought this place. Early after the run of the century he lived there with his bride, the former Narcisse Williams. A grandson, Michael Brown, was making his home there when the house burned in 1960.” From “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston
NOTE: I personally met Michael Brown in the spring of 2009. He showed me around the home he and his wife live in now, the painting of Gossypia, the small cemetery behind his home, and the headstone of George W. Goza with a Goza infant laying nearby. He said that the old plantations top floor was a jailhouse for awhile, and the walls were 16 foot high.

Oakland Plantation
This plantation has lots of history. It was located right on the lake.
"Oakland Plantation was first owned by Wiley Taylor. In 1832, Matthew B. Sellers purchase "1,856 acres, cattle, farming utensils, 26 slaves, the crop and all appurtenances" from Wiley Taylor for $20,000.
The years of 1830 to 1860 are often spoken of as the golden age. The parish was ideal cotton area and five-sevenths of the tilled land was devoted to that crop.
A party held at Oakland in those days illustrates gracious living of the ante-bellum period. Guests from plantations and town were invited to attend a masque or character portrayal party. Mrs. Dr. Burwell was mistress of the parlor and dance room; Mrs. Frank Coleman was hostess of the supper room, Mrs. Sellers, Hostess of the home, graciously invited her guest to "freely partake of the bountiful supper..."
Some guest came dressed as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr. "Never have we had the pleasure of being present at a more elegant, sociable and pleasant costume ball," one guest was heard to remark.
Many social activities occurred at the elegant residence on Oakland Plantation in pre-Civil War days. The house was described as a mansion. Surrounding the home grounds was an iron fense across the front, on near the public lake road, and high picket fences on the sides and rear.
The plantation was fronted on the north side by the lake, on the upper or western side by Bellaggio, below, or on the eastern side by Hood's home place and on the back, or south, by Jefferson Ridge owned by John S. Chambliss.
Matthew Sellers served the parish as president of the Police Jury from 1854 to 1858. Mrs. Sellers, the former Elizabeth M. Cash of Philadelphia, took great pride in the homesite which overlooked the calm and placid lake. There were trees of cypress, oak, pecan and magnolia on the grounds.
When Mrs. Sellers, the daughter of Thomas Cash, died in January 1867, and buried in Woodland Cemetery in her home town. It was after then that Matthew B. Sellers sold his beloved Oakland." [It is believe he moved to Philadephia right after her death].
The decades following rthe Civil War were hard years. Oakland - the land, the elegant residence and the furniture--everything except the silverware and family pictures, were sold to Judson M. Bemis for the sum of $55,000. The down payment was $30,000, "cash in hand" with two notes endorsed by J. O. and J. W. Pierce of St. Louis, Missouri. A suit in 1870 listed John O. Pierce and wife, Cornelia, as sole owners of Oakland. A series of sales followed. The Pierces sold to George C. and W. W. Benhamj, who came into the parish from the North after the war.
The Benhams sold Oakland to J. Edward Leonard of Weschester, Pennsylvania, a parish resident and law partner of Judge Joseph Mordici Kennedy. Leonard served the parish as District Attorney and as Republican Congressman." From “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston

Adair, David
“We find the names of John Mason and Sir Georges, and others forming a corporation to settle some of the territory but it seems they failed. It is more than a hundred years before we find the land in another grant. This one made to Baron de Bastrop by the King of Spain in the 1790’s. We have seen the Baron’s efforts to settle the portion of his grant west of Boeuf River, but we find no such effort to do the same east of the river. We do find that he sold this part of his grant to General John Adair, who in turn sold to others, but before much was done the United State government purchased the Orleans Territory and the question of honoring the Baron de Bastrop claim came up. If Adair ever attempted to entice real settlers to the area, we found no record of it. It seem he sold the land to speculators, but we do find David Adair involved in a land transaction as late 1840. “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

He was born September 24th, 1807, in Newark, New Jersey. He connect himself with the firm of Alling & Bro., of Newark, Madison, Indiana and New Orleans, La. Early in the thirties. They were one of the largest clothing houses in the United States at that time. Mr. William Alling attended to the New Orleans end of the business. He was one of the directors and otherwise connected with several banking institutions of the country between 1840 & 1857. He was united in the holy bonds of matrimony in 1834 to Miss Julia Teasdale of South Carolina. They had seven children, five boys and two girls.

Alsbrooks, William M. From: Rosalyn Alsobrook
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 14:07:01 -0800
From: Alsobrook
Please add William M Alsobrook to the list of Civil War Casualties.
He died in Vicksburg on Christmas Day (Dec. 25), 1862. From Robert Sage:
Vet. Name: William M. Alsobrook, Widow's name: Ann Alsobrook
Co. A, Regiment 31, Division LA. He died of illness in 1862. Widow's application 7/13/1892
Also, from "Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers & Confederate Commands". New Orleans, LA:np, 1920, Vol 1, p. 53.
--- Alsobrook, William M.,Private, Company A. 31st La. Infty. En.
Monroe, La., April 12th, 1862.

From Robert Sage, descendant of Ann's sister, Susan (Snow) Sage, "I found a book Arkansas Confederate Veterans and Widows Pension Applications by Francis T. Ingmire [an index]. For Sevier County: Veteran's name, William M. Alsobrook; widow's name, Ann Alsobrook. William was in A company, Regiment 31, LA,
Division, 1862-1862 . He died of Illness 12/25/1862 . Ann submitted her pension 7/13/1892."
In 1891 Arkansas began granting pensions to indigent Confederate veterans, Ann applied in 1892 as stated and, according to the papers sent by the Arkansas History commission, she was allowed a $50 pension on March 11, 1901 by the Pension Board for Sevier County. On the application paperwork filled out by the Pensions Board, it states she is incapacitated for manual labor by reason of Nervous Prostration. [Extreme exhaustion from inability to control physical and mental activities] and it is dated June 20, 1892.
On the Proof of Service form, signed by the Sevier County, Arkansas Justice of the Peace, J.M. Baker, it has that Ann Alsobrook, widow of William M. Alsobrook, is incapacitated for manual labor by reason of "old age".
In an unsigned letter from Oak Grove, La dated simply 4-28 (I assume of 1892). "Mrs. Ann Alsobrook, I received your letter. Some time since tryed (sic) to obtain all the the information that you needed in your case. I saw several of our company . I saw John Riding McKee and Jack Lester, all that they could recollect was that your husband did belong to our company & that he died. Could not tell the day of his death nor the day that we were mustered in to service. I think that that (sic) we were mustered in to Service in May or June 1862 and that your husband died in Dec 1862 at Vicksburg Miss. Sorry that I am not able to give you all the information that you need. Our Company was Company A 31 LA Regiment Rps ( or Bps?) Andrew Jackson."

You'll find him listed as William S. Alsobrook in the 1860 Census. The S is apparently wrong because all other references to a middle initial have been "M".
ABSTRACTS: Dec. 01, 1866 - Married. Sage~Sanders. On Thursday, the 1st of Nov., by the Rev. Wm. Keller, Rev. Thomas J. Sage to Mrs. Susan Sanders, all of Carroll Parish, La.. Sanders was her first husband's name. Her maiden name was Snow. If you had
anything on John C. Snow, her brother, that'd be great. But I think he was in a neighboring Parish. I was a witness in a court matter for Ann, which is why I think he lived fairly close.

Fact is, there's a whole nest of family there at one time. Snows tied into the Alsobrooks by marriage before coming there as a group. Ann Snow married William M. Alsobrook. They moved to Carroll Parish by 1860 and at least two of Ann's siblings had moved there, too. They all came from Dyer County, Tennessee. (1850 Census)

I'm not sure when the Galloways hit Carroll Parish, but they tie into the family when George Lewis married Ann Eliza, daughter of Ann and William Alsobrook.

There may have been one other Alsobrook in the area, a Willis Alsobrook, but
I don't have enough info yet to know who he is.

(I have a little bit more research stuff on some SANDERS.)
Here is for a Susan Snow in the 1860 Census: # 427
Snow, Susan 45 f. Mantua maker LA. _____ $500.
, Eugenia F. 18 f. LA
, Sarah L. 16 f. LA
, Robert W. A. 12 m. LA
(mantua is a "fancy cloak")
This has to be Ann (Snow) Alsobrook's mother. I didn't know she was in La. After her father ditched the family and went to Florida, I didn't know what happened to her mother.

James and Samuel Galloway were living in Ouachita Parish in 1830 (both on page 187 Census of Ouachita Parish, La.. James is living in a residence with 3 other males and 2 females. Samuel is living by himself. James married Martha Trimble on May 20, 1832 (see Book A, pg. 51 Concordia Parish, La.

Amacker, Amos Kent (see BIOGRAPHIES: Colonel Nicholson)

Amaker, David
At the Versailles Peace Conference of 1919 held in Paris, David Amacker served as an interpreter for Messrs. Venizelos of Greece and Kramar of Czechoslovakia, translating from English into French for them.
Stephen Bonsal in his book Unfinished Business (1944) accurately records those meeting. Bonsal commends David Amacker and his work: "Again (after the first appointee proved flustered and incapable) I dived deep down into the language pool of the American delegation and fished out a young Lieutenant from Louisiana, who spoke clear French and also the pleasing English of the Deep South. He was drafted to the job in which he acquitted himself well. He was not at all awe-stricken by his close association of the representatives of the shattered monarchies of Europe, or with the outstanding new men of the budding democracies."
David Amacker attended Mississippi College and Princeton University. He was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and graduated in 1922. He majored primarily in French and German. Later he taught at Culver Military Academy, Dartmouth University, Louisiana Tech, again at Dartmouth University, and finally at Southwestern University in Memphis, where he was a Professor of Political Science.

Amacker, Robert
Robert Amacker, second son of the Amos Kent Amacker, was named Louisiana's Ginner of the Year by the Louisiana-Mississippi Cotton Ginners Association in 1965. A native of Lake Providence, he received his schooling at Lake Providence and at the University of AR. Associated with Robert in the Hollybrook Gin Company, from time to time, were his uncle Robert Nicholson, A. P. Surles, Tate Lawrence and W. G. Wyly.
Mr. Amacker and his wife, the former Alice Dutton, have three daughters, Margaret, Alice Ellen and Mary Muir, and two sons, Robert Jr., and Amos Kent (Major). A nephew, Kent Amacker, made his home with them after his parents died in 1957.
Alice, Roberts’s wife, was Director of the Dept. of Public Welfare.

Anderson, Ace“Leon LeFevre says his parents were living near Floyd at the time, and he heard his mother say that the Yankees, five or six white men, plus about 200 Negroes, crossed the Macon at Poverty Point and started toward Floyd. A runner on horseback cut through the woods and notified the town. Most of the man had gone fishing that day so Ace Anderson decided the best thing to do would be to try to turn them back. He knew that colored people took orders automatically from a white person, and he counted on influencing them. To the horror of his wife, he rode out alone to meet the invaders and met them just south of Floyd, the Negroes in front and the white officers to the rear. He, Mr. Anderson, raised his hands signaling a halt, which was obeyed. He told them the town knew of their coming and had barricaded themselves in stores and houses around the court house with the intention of mowing them down as they came in. He was warning them as he hated to see needless bloodshed. He said the “Home Guard,” (see Civil War: Home Guard, on this website) including the guerrillas were on duty. This did it, the Negroes turned back and the white men followed. This perhaps was one attempt to raid Floyd, but not the last.” From “Between the Rivers”, McKoin

“William Pitt Kellogg, a colored man under the domination of northern Yankees, was elected governor of the state in 1872. He had vast appointive powers, in fact, he appointed at will, men for man offices. He appointed Jim Ridley, a native of Carroll Parish , living near Floyd, as representative for Carroll Parish at one time. He appointed Harrison Henson as magistrate for Ward 2, and Sheriff for Carroll Parish. Leon LeFevre said these colored appointees west of the Macon never served. Magistrate Henson came to Floyd to hold court one day. After Ace Anderson held a conference with him, he departed without holding court and never returned in the capacity of magistrate again. “ Florence Stewart McKoin’s book “Between the Rivers”

Ashbridge, A. M.
Captain Ashbridge was by profession a druggist, and thoroughly educated in his calling. Prior to the war he had lived in the city of New Orleans, where his proficiency was recognized, and his services were always in demand.
At the very beginning of the war, he volunteered as a confederate soldier. Commencing as a private, he arose by his efficiency to the rank of Captain.
His company was attached to the 15th Louisiana Regiment, and was in the command of the immortal Stonewall Jackson till the death of that heroic leader. He was in the memorable Pennsylvania campaign, and took part in the Battle of Gettsyburg. After that campaign, worn down by fatigue and ill health, he obtained a sick leave of absence, and went to Georgia to recuperate. There he met Miss Fanny Sparrow, the accomplished daughter of General Edward Sparrow, the Confederate States Senator from Louisiana, and chairman of the military committee. He sought and won her heart; and in 1864, they married.
They have lived happily together since, being perfectly congenial, and at all times showing the utmost sympathy and love for each other.
They have been blessed with a large family of children, exceedingly bright and attractive of whom the lamented Edward Sparrow Ashbridge was the eldest.
Since the war, Capt. Ashbridge has been engaged chiefly in commercial pursuits. He was for years employed in the commission house of Johnson & Goodrich in New Orleans, where his efficient services were remunerated by the handsome salary of $250 a month. He subsequently removed with his family to this parish, in the year 1873, where he has since lived.
Captain Ashbridge was an honest and upright man. He was conscientious in his transactions, and faithful to his duty, whosoever it might be. He was a brave soldier, loved by his comrades and fearless of any peril which the life might bring. No better man, no better citizen, no better husband and father than Capt. Ashbridge lives in our community.

Bastrop, Baron De
“We find the names of John Mason and Sir Georges, and others forming a corporation to settle some of the territory but it seems they failed. It is more than a hundred years before we find the land in another grant. This one made to Baron de Bastrop by the King of Spain in the 1790’s. We have seen the Baron’s efforts to settle the portion of his grant west of Boeuf River, but we find no such effort to do the same east of the river. We do find that he sold this part of his grant to General John Adair, who in turn sold to others, but before much was done the United State government purchased the Orleans Territory and the question of honoring the Baron de Bastrop claim came up. If Adair ever attempted to entice real settlers to the area, we found no record of it. It seem he sold the land to speculators, but we do find David Adair involved in a land transaction as late 1840.
Baron de Bastrop did make a direct contribution to Northeast Louisiana y interesting others with means and influence in the area. It is said that he knew and secured the interest of Edward Lumpton, who influence Thomas Jefferson to make the Louisiana purchase. General John Adair, Judge Charles Lynch, Aaron Burr, and Stephen Girard, The Philadelphia philanthropist, became interest in the “Washita” country through the Baron, who was an adventurer and a speculator. He dreamed of a great wheat state and trade with the Indians, d, but, of course, he and the others were more interested in the land near the large waterways, the only means of transportation for large quantities of supplies. Thus, the land between the rivers was left to land speculators and eventually the small farmers and planters.” From “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

Barker, William
EARLY SETTLEMENTS: “John Millikin, registrar of the land office, knew of a Mrs. Bruit who resided on the river a mile below the mouth of Stock/Stack Island Lake. Other early names are Hugh White, Samuel White and Herbert/Harbird Hood, who were granted land here in 1812.
William Barker and two or three persons named Dempsey were reported to be living on the lake in 1813 and raised corn and other produce. One of them, Joe Dempsey, hunted along the banks of what is now called Joe‘s Bayou, which was named for this early hunter.” “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

FIRST TOWN FORMED: “In the local courthouse in Conveyance Book A., page 135, and datelined L. P., Louisiana, Nov. 23, 1833, is an article of agreement between John L. Martin and William B. Keene on the division of the front lots of the town, beginning at “Samuel Peck‘s store and running up the river Mississippi and down the bayou“ (Providence), divided into 15 lots of 50 foot frontage, and 210 feet back from the “levy“. These lots were listed numerically by purchasers.

WAR’S END: “It was to a ravaged and bitter land that the weary veterans returned from the eastern battle fields. Maimed and scarred they came -- Thomas Scarborough, Charles Purdy, Ed Kleinpeter, and John Draughon; Charles DeFrance, C. R. Egelly, E. J. Delony, and J. S. Richards, Cyrus Hedrick, W. R. C. Lyons, J. D. Lott, and Mark Valentine, Jr., among others. The refugees returned from Texas; their desire - to build their lives and fortunes in peace. From the north came the paroled prisoners of war, including W. F. Pennington, John O’Brien, Abraham Bass, and V. M. Purdy.
Sons of Carroll lay buried from Virginia to Baton Rouge. Franc Whicher, Nathan Trotter, George Sanderson, George Burrus, D. D. Kilcrease, B. A. Sanford, W. H. Farrar, and young Wesley McGuirt-these were but a few of the casualties.” Georgia Pinkston’s book “A Place to Remember”

Bass, Job
EARLY SETTLERS: “According to local courthouse records, the first settlers recording their land holdings did so in the early 1800‘s. One was Job Bass, who according to the 1810 census was listed as the owner of Lookout Plantation. John L. Buck in 1826 owned Pecan Grove Plantation which he purchased from the U. S. Government. Samuel Galloway, for whom Galloway Bayou is named, sold land in 1833 to William Henderson. John A. Love, a Methodist minister, in 1834 bought 726.66 acres at Patterson Point.” From the book “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston.

EARLY SETTLERS: “On Nov. 10, 1841, Isham B. Beard and wife Elizabeth Curry and James T. Beard received a land patent signed by Martin Van Buren, President of the U. S.. In the same year, a record in Conveyance Book C. pages 392-393 states that ‘it is well understood that Black Bayou is the dividing line between the land of Jesse H. Chaney on the SE of the bayou and the land herein conveyed to Charles H. Webb’.“ From the book “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston.

Beard, I. B. Beard
He was born Sept. 18th 1810, if Jefferson Co., Miss. His father, James Beard moved to Carroll Parish about the year 1825. In 1832, he went to Warren Co., Miss., and married Miss Elizabeth Currie. He stayed there one year, and moved back to Carroll Parish. On the 1st on Nov. 1859, his wife died, after bearing him twelve children, six of whom are still living. In 1835, he joined the M. E. Church Suth, of which he was a faithful member, until he died. He was again married; this time to Miss Cordelia M. E. Newhall, who still survives him. From this union sprang six children, five of whom still live. He had been the owner of his first and present home fifty years.
After a long and useful life of 80 years, after fulfilling his mission, Mr. I. B. Beard quietly passed away at his home last Saturday, surrounded by children and grandchildren. His life was that of an upright, Christian man, an honor to his community and a blessing to his notoriety. (Not sure where this info came from)

Beebe, ?
“Many early settlers just staked out their claims without buy from anyone. Later, we find a few of them clearing their titles with the federal government after the U. S. Survey of 1841. Their claims wee honored if they were living on the firms. We will recall the surveyors were instructed to mark such farms and not molest the farmers and later titles could be cleared. On an old map, I found the following improvements, as the farms were called at that time. The Floyd, Henry, Kent, Rollins, McGuire, Bebee, and Sutton, all located on the Cook Terry Road, and near Floyd were the Lindsey and McGinpio farms. In Old Book A, page 44, I found the Rollins purchasing their land from the U. S. Government on October 14, 1835. Their descendants are with us today, one of whom is Mrs. Willie Mae Dillard Roberts of Oak Grove.” “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

Incidentally, I'm also trying my best to learn about Lucy Jane's father, Newton Holland, and would loves to know when her mother, Rosina B. Holland died.
I know she was still living during the siege of Vicksburg, and know, too, that there was a son, John Bittleman Holland, who fought in the War and was paroled both after Vicksburg's capture and the War's end. He married a Mattie McBeth and moved to New Orleans, I think. LAURETTE

A few planters signed an allegiance to the U. S. that brought a rift among neighbors. There were those willing to lose everything for the cause of the South and felt bitter toward any neighbor signing such an oath.

“We were out of town for a couple of days, so I have just now read your messages. Thanks so much for sending all the info. I did look at your web page on E Carroll Parish. You have put a lot of work into that and it is great.
I have spent quite a bit of time studying records of E Carroll. For several years I had a brick wall on my Benton family. My gr-grandfather Sully Reeves Benton was a grandson of Warren M Benton. Or at least I believed he was. I knew that Sully's mother was Mary M Benton, but it took forever to find his father's name. I felt that Warren was his grandfather but had no proof. Finally I went through land and court records line by line. I knew that Augustus Job Bass was a grandson of Warren. I finally across an entry for the tutorship of Augustus Job Bass. And there it was. Erasmus Benton, uncle of Augustus and Warren his grandfather. Then I went through the probate records
line by line and finally found where Mary M Benton had filed to be executrix for her husband's estate and tutor of their children, Sully Reeves and George Warren Benton. Her husband's name was Erasmus and he died in 1858. I thought it odd that his name did not appear in any index I could find in any of the records.
Erasmus Benton's widow, Mary M, married James M Climer. He was in the Civil War. About 1867 they moved to Hill Co TX.
Warren's first marriage was in KY for Erasmus was born in KY. I don't know if she died in KY or in GA. I do know he next married Lucy Jones. I have never found either of the marriages, but in court records of E Carroll I found where he filed an action to try to gain control of the estate that his daughter Sarah had received from her grandmother Lucy Thompson Jones Hunt in GA.
I found that his 3rd wife Martha Bass had been married twice prior and had a daughter by a previous husband.
His 4th wife was Mary Royall. His 5th wife was Mary, last name unknown. I found in court records that she took him to the cleaners and I think there was some court action still going on when he died.” ELLEN

Blackburn, Dr. David Flournoy
“There was for Blackburn men that came from Kentucky and settled in Carroll Parish. William E. Blackburn, an attorney, David Flournoy Blackburn and Henry B. Blackburn, both show land purchases in 1850, and both were physicians. George Blackburn later settled in this region. Dr. David Flournoy Blackburn and wife Catherine A. Shelby came down the Mississippi River on a flatboat. They named their plantation Shelburn which was a combination of the family names of Shelby and Blackburn.
Six children were born to David and Catherine, 4 daughters, Jane S., who married Dr. William Morehead of Washington County, Mississippi, Julia Blackburn who married Edward H. Davis of Belle Meade Plantation, Kate, who married William L. Gay, and Lizzie F., who married Frank H. Coleman. The two boys were George F., who married Rebecca B. Williams of Sherwood Plantation, and Thomas.
David Blackburn died on December 1, 1860, in the arms of General Edward Sparrow who had come to visit the patient. (4 generations later General Sparrow's great-great grandson married David Flournoy's great-great granddaughter; Frank Voelker and Isabel Ransdell.)
[*Cass Knight Shelby Notes: Letters from Mrs. Schneider, a descendant written to CKS in 1945, says Caterine was suppose to have been born on a flatboat on the Miss. River when her parents were moving from TN to MS.]
Catherine A. Blackburn died in 1880 at her beloved Shelburn. The succession proved that Mrs. Blackburn was the capable manager her husband thought.
According to a later newspaper account General John B. McPherson, the Federal officer in charge at Lake Providence succumbed to the charms of Mary Shelby.
"General McPherson had hardly located his camp when the attractions at the home at the head of the lake drew him thither--never did a noble Knight of ye olden time kneel with more earnest devotion at the feet of his lady love, than did the Commander of the 17th Corps bow at the shrine of Miss Shelby Blackburn."

Bosworth, Felix
“The population of Ouachita Parish has increased to 5,120 by 1830 and in 1832 Carroll Parish was carved out of Ouachita Parish by the State Legislature. Felix Bosworth was the first judge and he held court in the home of Harbird Hood in Lake Providence, which had been designated as the parish seat of government.” “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

EARLY SETTLERS: “Other early names include James J. Chewning and Stephen B. Linnard listed as merchants at Providence in 1833. Felix Bosworth and Bartlett Milton Browder were listed as partners of law in Providence that year.” From the book “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston.

CITIZENS WHO LET THEIR MARK: “Carroll Parish’s first Judge was Felix Bosworth, a young lawyer in his twenties. He was appointed to this position by the governor in 1832. Bosworth was married to Elizabeth Lester Bieller, and they had three children. Their home was Holly Place(now the site of the home of the Max Stockners). A toll bridge was located there to cross Tensas Bayou.” From the book “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston.

THE JUDGE IS REMEMBERED: “In a letter written by Jacob Owen concerning a visit in 1840 and published in The Carroll Democrat, Jan. 24, 1892, Owen wrote of Judge Bosworth: “During my visit to the parish, there was a wedding at ‘Arlington’ which worthy of mention.” (see also STORIES BY THE LOCAL FOLK: Felix Bosworth & the Wedding at Arlington)

“Let me tell you a little about what you found....you found David Bosworth who I had no idea was in LA. He is Sarah's brother from KY. You found out that Ana Bosworth was born in GA....and that is quite a surprise and new fact. I suppose I need to head to GA before too long. You found Joseph Cox, a "relative" living in Sarah and her husband's household....indeed he IS a relative....Sarah's father had two wives and they were both Cox (I suspect sisters). I am not sure who Hugh Richardson is, but it helps to have the information because he may be one of the unknown males in Charles Richardson's household in the previous census. And the Bosworth marriage info. in Memphis, Tenn. has me really wondering....this week I found a Bosworth Civil War soldier who had enlisted at Memphis TN. The Blackburn death notice of the young daughter just about broke my heart and it is precious to have it in my family files.”
JEANNE

Pg. 133 had THREE Bosworth names on it for parish attorneys. B. F. Bosworth in 1840, Felix Bosworth in 1844, and W. Bosworth in 1847. There is a possibility that B. F. Bosworth is B. 'Felix' Bosworth I suppose, making B.F. Bosworth and Felix Bosworth the same person, but who is the W. Bosworth in 1847? Felix was a paymaster in the army by March 3, 1847 and had died June 9, 1847. The book states that Felix's sister was Sara E. Bosworth. I do have a Sara E. and she is the daughter of David Holcombe Bosworth of
KY, who was the uncle of my A.J. However, I do not have a brother of hers named Felix, so is this new information which has not been found before by other Bosworth researchers. I also see the name RICHARDSON. One of my Nashville Bosworths (this would be either a sister of A.J. or a cousin, depending on who his father is) married a RICHARDSON from LA. One of the David Holcombe's daughters married Charles B. Richardson, according to my records, so this matches with the book. Makes sense that Felix may be David's son. Then I see the name GOODRICH. The Goodrich family were
Neighbors and friends of the Bosworths in Nashville. A Nashville Goodrich married
a Nashville Bosworth. Then the name of MOSS. A. J.'s stepdaughter married a Charles
MOSS in Nashville." JEANNE

“We know that a Sara Bosworth married a Richardson (Felix Bosworth was the host for the marriage and possibly the person officiating) but know little else about Sara. After Felix died, his widow married Henry B. Blackburn, a physician there in Carroll.”
However, what became of the children, Ana and Felis (Felix?) after 1850? I do not believe Henry is in the 1860 census and I believe I may have found another marriage for him in Kentucky: Dr. H.B. Blackburn, of Lake Providence, La., to Miss Mary C., daughter of Joseph Bryan, of Fayette County, Ky. M. Oct. 17, 1854.” JEANNE

Buchanan, W. C.
“There was not much “taking” between the rivers, but occasionally there was a freight wagon or individual robbed and these incidents were unpunished. One night a freight wagon coming from Delhi to Floyd had stopped and choice bits of freight lifted by robbers, one being a case of whiskey belonging to W. C. Buchanan, a merchant in Floyd. Now, Mr. “Buck“ was a friend of the James and Younger brothers. The wagon arrived in Floyd that night and the driver found Mr. Buck waiting for his freight. He told him what happened, but there was nothing for Mr. Buck could do but go to bed and wonder who did it. The next morning when he opened his store, there on the porch was his case of whiskey. Then he knew who the bandits were. When they found the case of whiskey belonged to their friend, they found a way to deliver it to him.” “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

“The first we know of the white man to the east of us comes by way of history. Williamson’s History of Northeast Louisiana tells us of the episodes of a gang of pirates operating on the Mississippi River in the late 1700’s in the area of what is now Lake Providence. These pirates were led by a Captain Bunch, later being joined by a group of cut throats run out of Kentucky whose leader was Samuel Mason. So successful were these pirates in harassing river traffic that boatmen, who successfully evaded them and made it safely past the bend in the river, thanked providence for their delivery. Later, they began to call the place Providence. Historians say the Macon River received its name from the pirate, Samuel Mason.” “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

“We find land transactions recorded in the Clerk of Courts Office in Oak Grove which show that settlers were coming to this part of the country early in the 1800s. In old Book A., page 119, we find this recording, ‘Abram Eddins sold to Peter Alexander a portion of Section 18 T 20, NR10E, being the same land Lafayette Moore and his wife sold to Eddins on June 11, 1812 and recorded in Book, folio 113.’ Descendants of the Moores are with us today, also the Cawthorns.” “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

“RIFT AMONG NEIGHBORS: Mrs. Flake‘s parents lived south of Floyd, the Dickersons, Roberts, and Cawthorns to the west, and none of them ever heard their parents or grandparents say that Floyd was damaged very much. It is inconceivable to me that the children of parents living in Floyd during the Civil War never heard of much destruction there. Janie Gibson‘s mother and mother-in-law were near Floyd, one on Colonel Lott‘s place to the east of Floyd, and the other on the Moore and Wilson farms, just north of Floyd on the Macon front. Janie never heard either say that Floyd was burned and she knows the Wilson and Moore homes wee not destroyed as her husband Ben Gibson tore the old Moore house down after they bought the place in the 1920‘s from John LeFevre.” From the book “Between the Rivers”, by Florence McKoin.

Cawthorn, Asbury
“Soldiers, who had left the area to fight, began to come home, some maimed, others ill, and all damaged by the horrors of war, lack of food, & clothing. Many did not come home. Two who did not return were Asbury Cawthorn and John McIntyre. One who did return was Henry De Los Briggs. He had been a merchant and school teacher before going to war; however, soon after returning, he decided to change his occupation. He married in Floyd in 1871 and moved to land he had acquired northeast of the present site of Forest. Here he build a home, owned a farm, built a school house, cotton gin and general mercantile store, and helped restore the South as others did.” Florence Stewart McKoin’s book “Between the Rivers”

Conine, George W., who is actively and successfully engaged in merchandising, carries a stock of goods invoicing about $3,000 in his store at Arkansas Post. He was the second son of a family of seven children born to Richard and Jane (Bean) Conine, natives of Georgia and Louisiana, respectively. The father was born about 1808, of Irish descent. Going to Louisiana when a young man, he was there married, about 1838, and made his home the rest of his life, and at his death, in 1850, was one of the well-to-do planters of that State. Owing to unjust management of the estate, his widow and children were thrown upon their daily labor for sustenance. His wife died in 1858. She was a daughter of Rev. Christopher Bean, an Englishman by birth, who passed away in Louisiana, in 1852. George W. Conine was born in Carroll Parish, La., in 1844. He began making his own way in the world at the early age of seven years, being employed by Mr. Evin George (a wealthy farmer of that vicinity) to drive a team for his gin; afterward by James McNeal in the same community. At the age of fourteen he was employed as mail-carrier from Monroe to Lake Providence, La. In 1862 he joined the Carroll Dragoons of Louisiana Cavalry and was afterward transferred to Forrest's cavalry. He participated in the battles of Franklin, Vicksburg, the siege of Atlanta, Holly Springs and a number of hard fought battles. He was at home on furlough at the time of the surrender. He then engaged in farming in Louisiana until 1867, when he came to Arkansas, locating at Arkansas Post. He was married in 1872 to Miss Caroline Rogers, a native of this county and a daughter of one of the early settlers. She died in 1879, leaving two children: Willie D. and Johnie W. Conine. Mr. Conine was then married to Miss Ruby Conine, a consin of our subject, her father, Rev. Brittain Conine, being a brother of Richard Conine. She was born in the State of Alabama at Camp Hill where her mother, Jane Herren, died about 1854 and where her father, Rev. Brittain Conine, now resides and is a merchant of that place of forty or fifty years' standing, now being in his eightieth year. Ruby Conine is the mother of two children: Oscar and Hattie. Hattie died August [p.653] 25, 1889, aged three years, one month and thirteen days. Sleep thou in Jesus, little Hattie, till He bids thee arise. Mr. Conine continued farming until 1881, when he engaged in the mercantile business with his sister, Mrs. Mary A. Fogee, and since her death, in 1887, has continued the business himself, the firm being known as G. W. and B. B. Conine. He also owns about 1,000 acres of land in different tracts in this county, of which about 200 acres are under cultivation. He is a strong Democrat and a highly respected citizen. His wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church” Found on “The Computer Internet”

“My ancestors who lived in Carroll Parish, lived there from about 1837 to 1865ish. My gr gr grandfather came to Carroll Parish from Putnam Co. GA., his name was Richard CONINE. Richard married Mariah J. BEAN, daughter of Rev. Christopher BEAN. Christopher BEAN had married in MS. to a lady named Martha LEDBETTER. Richard CONINE died about 1851, he's buried somewhere in what is now E. Carroll. Mariah J. (BEAN) CONINE died about 1860. Richard and Mariah had several children, those children were left orphaned after the death of Mariah. The children were taken in by a man named Joseph KENT, he was made their legal guardian. I know pretty much what happened to all of the children except the youngest one, named Martha CONINE. I believe Martha was probably only about 7 or 8 years old when her mother passed away. I have always wondered what happened to her. The other siblings left LA and went to
Southern AR. I believe there were others besides my CONINES that left LA and
went to S. AR. Families like, CHANEY, SCURLOCK, CHILDERS, can't think of any
more right now. SHEILA.

Curry, Mrs. Abe
“Miss Kate Stone (writer of “Brokenburn” her diary) mentions Mrs. Elizabeth Savage going to Floyd frequently in 1862. I assumed the Savage Plantation was nearer the Macon River than most of the others. She said, ‘Mrs. Hardison was telling us of Mrs. Abe Curry’s trip on horseback to Floyd. She must be crazy.’ A footnote said this was fifty miles round trip and mentioned Floyd being the county seat of Carroll Parish. There were federal troops in this area trying to stir up trouble among the slaves which was the reason Miss Stone thought Mrs. Curry’s trip hazardous.”
“In another section Miss Stone says, ‘A letter today from Mrs. Hardison. They and the Currys expect to move into the neighborhood in a few days. She writes gloomily of affairs on the river. The Newmans and the Grays are the only families left out there. Mat Johnson, after being beaten by his negroes, has come out to Floyd with fifteen other men and trying to raise a company to drive out the marauding Yankees.

George M. Curry was reared in Aurora and Dillsborough, Ind., and educated at Moore's Hill Male and Female Institute and at Holbrook's Normal School, Lebanon, O., graduating from the former in 1867. He attended two full courses of medical lectures at the Ohio Medical College, Cincinnati, O., where he graduated with high honor in 1871. In 1872 he located at Owingsville, Ky., and practiced his profession until the fall of 1884, when he was engaged as assistant of Prof. W.W. Dawson, of the Ohio Medical College, Cincinnati. He served in that capacity about nine months, when he returned to Owingsville, where he has since resided, making a specialty of surgery, having thoroughly equipped himself with all necessary instruments while in Cincinnati. May 30, 1872, the Doctor married Miss Lou A. Tichenor, of Lebanon, O., a daughter of David and Eliza (Williams) Tichenor. They are the parents of five children, three of whom still survive, viz: Clifford T., Nina and Edna P. Dr. and Mrs. Curry are members of the Presbyterian Church, as is also Clifford T.

Hello Sandy, I enjoyed visiting your Lake Providence page again and was tantalized by the list of plantation names and owners. I know my Currie ancestors were neighbors of the Stones and Valentines, etc. and have loved reading about them in Kate Stone's book. Do you have a source for the name and location of their place? I just would like to know. I have pulled in a little more Currie information but no definite leads yet as to where William came from or who his parents are. Still working on it, though, as if I could ever quit now!!
Thanks for your help, Leta
Hi Sandy,
For now I will tell you that I am most interested in finding out William Cromartie Currie's parents' names; family letters say his parents were Catherine Cromartie and William Currie, from Scotland (Edinburgh area) but I haven't been able to confirm this yet. I also would like to know what happened to Adeline Whitaker Currie, William's first wife; I think perhaps they lived in Madison City, MS., where their surviving children were born and she died there leaving Abe, between 10 and 12, and Huldah, between birth and 2 yrs old. Lots more to research here when I have time. Anyway, after that William Currie moved to Louisiana and married Hester Ann Richards and lived in Carroll. Other than tracking down living descendants I pretty much know what happened after that, it's further back that's giving me trouble.

Oh yeah, I do have a cousin who has some family papers and I'm hoping he has some photos to share. I'll let you know.

Hello Sandy,
When you have a little time, could you do me a humongous favor?
William Cromarty CURRIE died 2 October, 1876 in Carroll Parish and is buried in Vicksburg. He was a rich planter, at least before the war, so I figured his
obituary would be in the papers. Could you look and see? I am hoping to find out a little more about him and his background. I would appreciatethis so much.
Thanks for all the work you do on the website,
Leta Currie Marshall
p.s. by the way, William's parents were Alexander Currie and Loruhamah
Cromartie, don't know when they died but Alexander still shows up as
late as the 1840 Warren County census (spelled Curry, as it often was
then).
I wonder if this Joseph Curry you found is related. It's the right area,
but there was another William Curry in that area at the same time, not
necessarily related. I should put more energy into this family because
nobody else seems to be researching them. Many of my other lines are
pretty well documented or present fewer problems.

OBITUARY: newspaper



“One of the saddest occurrences that has taken place in our little town in many a day was the death of Mrs. Roxana Eppes Davis. This good lady passed away Monday, August 27, 1891, surrounded by her sorrowful children and almost brokenhearted husband. She had been sick only a few days, and Dr. Davis apprehended no danger until Monday morn, when her symptoms grew alarmingly worse. Her death was that of a Christian, she met death bravely and was conscious to the last. A congestive chill was the immediate cause of her death. Mrs. Davis was a Miss Eppes, and was a native of Mississippi. Her father, John Wailles Eppes, was a planter for many years in old Carroll Parish, living near Monticello. She came to Louisiana at the early age of nine years, and five or six years afterwards went to Kentucky, where she was educated. In 1862 she was married to Dr. J. L. Davis at her father’s residence near Monticello. With a few exceptions, the Doctor has been living here ever since, engaged in the medical profession. Mrs. Davis leaves behind two sisters, Mrs. Ben Brown, of this place; and Mrs. Ed Brown, who is now in Florida. She was a woman of the most truthful and religious character; and during her whole life, she was never known to tell a falsehood. She was a loving and affectionate mother, and a devoted wife of the noblest type. Her remains were taken to the Methodist Church and from thence to the Providence Cemetery, followed by sorrowing friends and relatives. “ L. P. newspaper

Davenport, Isaiah
“The Baron de Bastrop had promised as a part of his agreement when the king of Spain awarded him the two million acre land grant which included the present area of Morehouse and West Carroll Parishes, to bring in 500 settlers in an effort to colonize the area. He found himself slow in fulfilling this promise as settlers were reluctant to move inland away from the deep waterways. The hardships in getting supplies in and securing protection from Indians made it hard to attract settlers inland; so, the Baron de Bastrop decided to sell a portion of his grant, located on the west side of Boeuf River, to one Abram Morehouse.
Mr. Morehouse was an adventurer from Kentucky whom de Bastrop met in New Orleans. He immediately set up office in New Orleans to attract settlers to his new land. He offered them 400 arpents (acres) of land, tools for cultivation and supplies for three years. He found one Isaiah Davenport, who was interested in changing occupations and seized upon the opportunity to become a planter, the d, the dream of many at that time. Mr. Davenport had been a boat captain from Providence, Rhode Island, a seafaring man with a boat named ‘Cleopatra‘. He had been engaged in slave traffic catching young black males and females in Africa and bringing them to America for sale to the colonist. New Orleans was one port of entry.
Mr. Morehouse and Mr. Davenport came to the west bank of Boeuf River between the present site of Mer Rouge and Oak Ridge about 1797. They brought a few settlers with them and began establishing homes, each on his four hundred arpents of land awarded him by Baron de Bastrop. They looked to Fort Miro (now Monroe) for supplies and protection. For supplies and protection.
Fortunately, protection from the Indians was never needed. The few Indians here were friendly and helpful to the settlers, teaching them what they knew of boat making, planting, and raising crops acclimated to the area; brought a few slaves with them, but the masters worked along side the slaves in erecting crude homes, clearing and cultivating the land with what tools they had, always sharing with each other. In this way they eked out a simple livelihood in the early years.”

NEWSPAPER OBITUARY: November 18, 1893
Judge Charles A. DeFrance, a well-known attorney and highly respected resident of Kirkwood, died suddenly in the County Court House at Clayton yesterday. He left Kirkwood on a Missouri Pacific train at 8 o’clock yesterday morning in company with Colonel Zack J. Mitchel, and went in the Union Deport, St. Louis, where they took a train to Clayton. He was attorney for Dr. Eugene Van Ness and others of Kirkwood, and went to Clayton to defend them in suits in the Circuit Court, instituted by the Kirkwood Armory Hall Association. While on the way from Kirkwood to Clayton he complained of weakness and chilly sensations. He arrived in Clayton about 10 o’clock, and a few minutes later started up to the Circuit Court room, which is on the second floor of the Court House. When about half up the stairway he appeared to be stricken with paralysis, and he avoided falling by holding to the side railing on the steps. Colonel Mitchel, who was with him assisted him into Prosecuting Attorney Mudd’s office and onto a sofa. Dr. Van Ness of Kirkwood and Dr. E. S. Rouse of Clayton were near and were promptly called to attend him, and they did all to their power to give him relief, but to no avail. He was in great agony until 12:30, when death relieved him. The attending physicians assigned him cerebral hemorrhage as the cause of death. Dr. J. W. Evans, his son-in-law with whom he lived in Kirkwood, was summoned to Clayton from his place of business with the Evans Bros. Tobacco & Warehouse Company in St. Louis, and he arrived about 12 o’clock. The old gentleman spoke only one sentence after he was stricken on the stairway, and this was about one hour before he died when he looked at Dr. Evans, his son-in-law, and said: “My daughter!” In the afternoon the remains were taken by a wagon from Clayton to the home of his only daughter, wife of Dr. J. W. Evans, in Northwest Kirkwood.
Judge Charles A. DeFrance was born at Port Gibson, Miss., in 1826. In 1867 he came to St. Louis, and resided here until 1879, when he moved to Kirkwood, where he resided until his death. He served a time in the Confederate Army and in the 1860‘s was District Judge in Mississippi. He filled the position of Town Recorder in Kirkwood several years and was prominently identified with all movements for the welfare of the town. About three years ago he was enrolled to the Circuit Court at Clayton as a member of the bar and since that time has spent much of his time in the courts of St. Louis County. He was an uncompromising Democrat and a faithful and indefatigable worker in his party, serving as a member of the County Central Committee.
He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Howard De France Evans of Kirkwood, and one son, William H. DeFrance, who is an engingeer on the Cotton Belt Railway and resides at Jonesboro, Arkansas.--[A St. Louis paper]
We can add to the above--that Judge DeFrance resided in this parish. For many years before and after the war. He was one of the foremost citizens both in the old parish of Carroll, & in the parish of East Carroll.
He was a good lawyer; and, in all the relations of life, a kind and genial gentleman. In this general demeanor, he was exceptionally courteous and polite, and had a heart as tender as a woman’s. He never was Judge in Mississippi, but was Judge of the parish of East Carroll, La. For several years, and filled the position creditable to himself, and wish satisfaction to the people.
He left many friends here. Those of them who survive will be sadly grieve to hear of his death.” BANNER-DEMOCRAT of East Carroll Parish, La.

Delony, Alice Stephens
BIOGRAPHIES: “Northeast Louisiana is proud to claim Alice Stephens Delony as one of the great heroines of the Civil War days and of the Reconstruction period.
Alice Stephens was born in Warren Co., Miss., on June 30, 1840. Her father, Tobias Stephens, bought land in the Goodrich Landing area in 1846, and brought his family to Carroll Parish. Alice married Edward James Delony on June 21, 1860. They made their home in Floyd, the parish seat of Carroll Parish, where Mr. Delony practiced law.
During the Civil War Mrs. Delony maintained their home while her husband served in the Confederate Army. Captain Delony was stationed at Vicksburg, commanding Co. A., 31st Regiment of the Louisiana Infantry. When he wrote home of the privations and sufferings of his men, his wife went into action. Mrs. Delony with the help of her neighbors, knitted socks and sweaters and sewed shirts, underwear and uniforms for the troops. She carefully packed the clothing and took a long and circuitous route to Monroe, Bayou Sara, Woodville, Clinton, and finally to Vicksburg. She sometime traveled by water, sometimes by land eventually arrived in Vicksburg, where the supplies were delivered.
The Delony‘s home was always open to Confederate soldiers and the wounded were cared for tenderly. The task of nursing was a labor of love for Mrs. Delony and for the women in Floyd.
At the close of the war, Captain Delony re-established his law practice in Floyd. With the division of Carroll Parish, he moved his law practice to Providence. He and his wife lived in the present Delony home on Lake Street.
6 children were born to Alice and Edward Delony. They were Anna Floretta, Alice Lucinda, Edward James, Thomas Henderson, Henry Goodrich, and Tobias Stephens (father of Vail Montgomery Delony).
A former neighbor recalls: “Mrs. Delony was slender, dainty, and soft-voiced. Always dressed simply, but in good taste, using the nicest of materials in her costumes. Her home was open always to friends--she had so many, for everyone loved her. The yard was pretty with its cedar-lined walk and lovely flowers“.” Georgia Pinkston’s book “A Place to Remember”

Delony, Edward J.
BIOGRAPHIES: “E. J. Delony, who died in 1892 at age 56, had been a newspaper editor-publisher, a political party leader, an attorney-at-law, a soldier and District Judge. A published tribute said of him: “Young Delony had fearlessly and aggressively described the danger for the South (just after the Civil War)”; “the Union-loving Delony was among the first to shoulder his musket in defense of his beloved Southland“; “the Judge never failed all through his life to evince the courage of his convictions.”
The Banner Democrat of September 10, 1892, stated: “His legal attainments are luminous…. At the Bar and on the Bench he was the peer of very best…As a citizen, being naturally of an aggressive disposition, he was often found in advance of the times. In his fierce and fearless battles with the carpetbag element during the dark days of the reconstruction in this parish the true elements of his character and his noble efforts for the public good stood out in bold relief. He was a fast friend and a fearless enemy. He had a hand as open as day for melting charity.” Georgia Pinkston’s book “A Place to Remember” (see Delony, Alice Stephens, wife of Edward J. Delony)

“E. J. was born in Talbot Co., Georgia, on the 10th day of July, in the year of our Lord, 1836. Dr. Delony, his father, moved to Louisiana with his family while the Judge was yet a stripling. He evinced from early life a literary tendency, being of a nervous sanguine temperament, his mind soon outstripped his physical strength. He came to old Carroll sometime before the memorable campaign that placed Abraham Lincoln in position of the Chief Magistracy of the Nation.
At Floyd, in the office of Hugh Short, we first made the acquaintance that soon ripened late intimacy to the then stirring times. The South was all ablaze with succession fires, and there were but few in this section then that had the nerve to peer through the conflagration and the smoke and gaze at the danger ahead. Hugh Short with his rugged eloquence fearlessly fought for the Union, and young Delony equally as fearless and aggressive with burning words of eloquence described the threatened danger to the South. We were with them in the “True Issue”, but it was all in vain, and when the storm and the tempest came, the same Union loving Delony was among the first to shoulder the musket in defense of his beloved Southland, while numbers of the loud-mouthed fire caters, who had denounced the Unionists, sneaked within the Federal lines.
We may here pertinently say that the Judge never failed all through life to evince the courage of his convictions.
The war over, he devoted himself like a good citizen to his family and his profession as Councilor and Attorney-at-Law. How well he succeeded is to a great extent a matter of history. His home devotion is seen in its happy surroundings. His legal attainments are luminous as a matter of public record. At the Bar and on the Bench he was the peer of the very best in the palmy days of the profession, and by his brilliant talent and solid acquirements he commanded the respect and admiration of his fellow practitioners far and near.” (see rest of story September 10, 1892 Banner Democrat)

Delony, Vail Montgomery
BIOGRAPHIES: “Vail Montgomery Delony was born into a family of public servants--for on both sides of his family were such men. His grandfather, Edward J. Delony, served as first Mayor of the Town of Providence in 1876, and then as Judge of the 8th Judicial District in 1880. Dr. Edward Delony, his great grandfather, served in the Senate of the State of Louisiana from East Feliciana Parish 1852. Judge John Wes Montgomery, his maternal great grandfather, was Judge of the Parish of Tensas, and later moved to Carroll Parish and became a law partner with J. E. Ransdell.
Vail Delony was first elected State Representative in 1940, and served in the House until his death in 1967. During these twenty-seven years, he was Chairman of the Committee on Transportation & Highways from 1948 through 1960. He was a member and then Chairman of the State Licensing Board for Contractors, a member of the Legislative Budget Committee, the Board of Liquidation of State Debt, the La. Office Building Corp., the State Bond & Building Comm. and many other boards and commissions. In May 1964, he was selected by the members of the House to serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives under the administration of Gov. John J. McKeithen. He presided with dignity and honor in this position until his death on Nov. 17, 1967.
Vail worked hard to improve the highway system and earned the nickname “Mr. Highways“. He helped establish a minimum salary schedule for teachers. As chairman of the joint legislative committee on Retirement he was instrumental in setting up the present state and local retirement systems for public employees.
In April 1958, the Police Jury Asso. of La. Honored Vail Delony by publicly citing him for “distinguished public service“ and expressed “appreciation of the many Legislative Acts sponsored for the benefit of Police Juries and citizens of La.
For his work in securing a port facility for E. C. Parish a resolution was adopted by the Port Comm. “gratefully acknowledging that his foresight, leadership, and counsel made this port a reality and we realize how much his demise means to us all.”
He was always interested in public libraries for the state and was instrumental in securing legislation beneficial to the La. State Library system.
With quiet forcefulness, sure knowledge and effective humor, Vail Delony achieved success with honor as he combined public service with a varied business career as a farmer and contractor. He was President of the North La. Federal Savings & Loan Asso., and served for many years as a Director of the Bank of Dixie. He was a vestryman of Grace Episcopal Church and on one of the church’s Minutemen to build a new church. He was an active member of the Sons of the American Revolution.
Vail Montgomery Delony was born in L. P., La. On Jan. 5, 1901. His parents were Helen Montgomery Delony and Tobias Stephens Delony. He grew up and lived in L. P. all of his life. On Dec. 26, 1926, he married Elizabeth Louise Miller of Greenville, Miss. They had 2 daughters, Elizabeth Delony Reed and Vail Delony Baldridge. His four granddaughters are Elizabeth Vail Reed, and Kathryn, Elizabeth and Mary Sue Baldridge.
On March 25, 1968, Gov. John J. McKeithen dedicated the Vail M. Delony Data Processing Center of the La. Dept of Public Safety in Baton Rouge. Mrs. Delony and her daughters attended the ceremonies. Vail Delony had been a tireless and effective supporter of all efforts which would bring better law enforcement to Louisiana..” Georgia Pinkston’s “A Place to Remember” (see also Delony, Alice Stephens, Delony, Edward J.)

DeSantos, Miguel
“EARLY SETTLERS: Another certificate of ownership, numbered 25 and recorded in a local coveyance record (Book B., page 397), indicated that Miguel de Santo was given a tract of land in 1788 consisting of 40 arpents front by 40 arpents deep, situated on the Bayou Macon in the post of Ouachita. .“ Georgia Pinkston’s book “A Place to Remember”

Dempsey
“We have no record of a permanent settlement in this area (Lake Providence) prior to 1803 at which time the Federal Government purchased the Louisiana Territory from France. However, we have seen by LaSalle’s journey down the river and other evidence, that traders and missionaries were in the area long before this. No doubt a trading post, maybe small, had been in or near the present site of Lake Providence for some time . Legend has it that a family by the name of Dempsey lived ion the lake in the late 1700’s. They lived in a wigwam, had a cow, farmed, hunted, and traded. This name appears later in the area which became known as Ward Two of West Carroll Parish. “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

Dempsey, Joe
“EARLY SETTLEMENTS: John Millikin, registrar of the land office, knew of a Mrs. Bruit who resided on the river a mile below the mouth of Stock/Stack Island Lake. Other early names are Hugh White, Samuel White and Herbert/Harbird Hood, who were granted land here in 1812.
William Barker and two or three persons named Dempsey were reported to be living on the lake in 1813 and raised corn and other produce. One of them, Joe Dempsey, hunted along the banks of what is now called Joe‘s Bayou, which was named for this early hunter.” Georgia Pinkston’s book “A Place to Remember”

It is inconceivable to me that the children of parents living in Floyd during the Civil War never heard of much destruction there. Janie Gibson‘s mother and mother-in-law were near Floyd, one on Colonel Lott‘s place to the east of Floyd, and the other on the Moore and Wilson farms, just north of Floyd on the Macon front. Janie never heard either say that Floyd was burned and she knows the Wilson and Moore homes wee not destroyed as her husband Ben Gibson tore the old Moore house down after they bought the place in the 1920‘s from John LeFevre.” From the book “Between the Rivers”, by Florence McKoin.

Drew, Emanuel C.
Emanuel C. Drew is an intelligent, enterprising and successful young "knight of the scissors," and is now ably editing the Louisiana Advance, one of the spiciest, breeziest journals of this section of the State. He was born in Carroll Parish, La., November 1, 1858, being the youngest of three sons, the other two members of the family being Robert H., who is a resident of Black Hawk Landing, and is superintendent of a large cotton plantation, and Judge Larche C., who resides in Calhoun, Ouachita Parish, La., being the editor and proprietor of the Experimental Farmer, a well known agricultural paper. Their father, Capt. Newit J. Drew, was a native Louisiana, born in 1831, and was a distinguished soldier during the secession, being captain of Drew's battery of light artillery, well known in the Trans Mississippi Department. He received the best advantages in his youth, being educated under private tutors at first, afterward entering the university at Baton Rouge, and his wife, Ann Chaney, who was born in Carroll Parish, La, in 1834, was educated in Jackson, La., then the Athens of the State. Both parents are still living in the enjoyment of fairly good health.
Emanuel C. Drew's early education was perfected at home by his mother, who thoroughly grounded him in the common branches and taught him the principles
of business. When he had attained his seventeenth year he began the battle of life for himself as a salesman in a general mercantile establishment, and there he remained until twenty years of age.
In the month of December, 1879, he was united in marriage to Miss Laura Smith,a native of Ouachita Parish, La., whose birth occurred in 1860. She was educated principally in Alabama, but her parents were Georgians and her father a cotton planter. Mrs. Drew is a lady of remarkable business tact and acumen, and gives much, valuable aid to her husband in the work of editing the Advance, her excellent address, affable and industrious disposition being cardinal elements of their success.
Mr. Drew began his journalistic career in Minden, La., as editor and proprietor of the Minden Democrat, which he managed successfully through a heated campaign of one year. At the end of that time he purchased the new paper known as the Louisiana Advance, which at that time (1884) had only an eight-quire circulation, but by unflagging energy and Mrs. Drew's fidelity to her husband's interest, the circulation was increased to forty-one quires within one year from date of purchase, besides a large and lucrative job work.
Mr. Drew has always been a true Democrat of the Jeffersonian type, in which he followed in the footsteps of his ancestors, and he has ever taken an active part in local politics, being a stanch, eloquent and able advocate of the principles of his party, and all measures which he considers right and just.
He is justly proud that he is able to say that no Drew of his family ever scratched a Democratic ticket. He has never been an officer of any grade, has never aspired to be, being content to use his influence in electing to office those whom he considers more suitable men. He deserves the highest commendation from his country men generally, regardless of politics, for the active and very intelligent manner in which he advertised the northern part of the State, and is now secretary of the North Louisiana Immigration
Association. The energy with which he has pushed matters has been remarkable for a man of his years, and the good his work has done is almost untold. He has sent authentically compiled literature to all pars of the Union, and many have become interested in the beauty and richness of Northern Louisiana. Mr.Drew has been district land agent for the V.S. & P.R.R. for four years, and has performed a vast amount of business for them, the accuracy with which every detail has been attended to, stamping him as a man of fine executive ability, persistency and determination. His work for this parish has been most exemplary in every particular, which is a source of great satisfaction to him. He is a member of the K. of P. of Ruston, La., and he and his wife are members of the Missionary Baptist Church at Arcadia, La. They are well established in life, and have a sufficient amount of this world's goods to make them comfortable and happy, and expect to make their home in Northern Louisiana, where a bright and successful future is awaiting many a home seeker. Mr. Drew is secretary of the Louisiana Sate Land Company, and is also agent for a large land owner of Illinois, and withal, conducts the largest land business in the northern part of the State.

Dreyfuss, Solomon [Honorable]
OBITUARY:
“Solomon was born on the 1st of January, 1830, in the town of Casel, in the Province of the Grand Dukedom of Hessen Darnistadt, of Germany, situated on the river Rhine. When 13 years old he adopted the trade of a tailor, and at the age of 18, commenced traveling all over Germany, working at his trade in some of the largest towns of the Empire. In Jan, 1866 , about two years after the death of his father, in company with two brothers, his mother and sister, he sailed from Liverpool to New Orleans, where they all lived, and where he last a brother in Aug. 1867 during the yellow fever epidemic. In 1873, he moved to Lake Providence, La., with his mother and sister to join his brother Dave, who had lived there ever since 1869. From that time on, he followed his profession. In 1882, he went into the mercantile business with his brother Dave, who, by thrift and industry, built up a good trade. Mr. Dreyfuss was a valuable citizen. As a public officer he discharged his duties faithfully and honorably; as a private citizen he was upright, peaceable, and high-minded. He was always heard of in the highest terms; and this is the greatest encomium which any man can receive--mainly, the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens. He had been unwell for a month or so, but not dangerously. The family felt no uneasiness about him and it was not until they were called to his death bed, that they ever dreamed of a fatal termination. In fifteen minutes after they were called up, he was dead. He had been suffering with his heart, and was taken off in a fit of apoplexy. His remains were taken to Vicksburg, and buried with the rites of his people, Rabbi H. M. Bien performed the ceremony.” L. P. NEWSPAPER

EARLY SETTLEMENTS: “The first settlement in East Carroll in the early 19th century was on the Mississippi River in the vicinity of Lake Providence, which then called Stock/Stack Island Lake. James Floyd claimed a section of land between the river and the lake, alleging that he had settle upon it in 1803. William Culfield and William Collins each claimed a section of land on the lake, their tracts adjoining Floyd‘s claim. They also dated their occupancy from the year 1803. Georgia Pinkston’s book “A Place to Remember”

Floyd, James
“Settlers began to come in after the U. S.’s purchase of the territory out of which Carroll Parish was later carved. Among the first settlers are the names of James Floyd, Hugh and Samuel White, John Millikin, and Shipley Owens. These surnames appear early in the records of West Carroll Parish also.
Many early settlers just staked out their claims without buy from anyone. Later, we find a few of them clearing their titles with the federal government after the U. S. Survey of 1841. Their claims wee honored if they were living on the firms. We will recall the surveyors were instructed to mark such farms and not molest the farmers and later titles could be cleared. On an old map, I found the following improvements, as the farms were called at that time. The Floyd, Henry, Kent, Rollins, McGuire, Bebee, and Sutton, all located on the Cook Terry Road, and near Floyd were the Lindsey and McGinpio farms. In Old Book A,

EMAIL:
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 1998

“Mary Virginia "Jennie" Floyd and her parents, names currently unknown. She was born on December 13, 1868 in Louisiana. Her father supposedly owned a large plantation, and lost it when he killed several people in a feud over cattle. Her great aunt, a Sadie Green, supposedly left the family millions, which could not be claimed
because Jennie's father had changed his last name from Floyd to Phillips. Interestingly, I have found an Elizabeth "Hattie" Green, who was a railroad owner, who still has a 60 million dollar fortune, currently unclaimed, because no heirs have come forward-in Louisiana!! Mary Virginia was called "Jennie V." by her father, according to her
youngest son, Harold Riley.
Sometime during the 1880s, Jennie met and married Samuel Richard Riley. They had 10 children, 7 of whom lived to adulthood. Whereabouts of four of them are known after 1910: Carter Richard became my great-grandfather, Harold lived in Houston, and had many children, and Doc lived in Alabama. Howard died in 1912 in Nacogdoches County, Texas.
Nothing is known about the other children, Miranda (a son-weird name for
a boy, huh), Clida (pronounced Clydie), Altha Jewell (always called Jewell), and another child, who died before the 1900 census. Jennie would have been two or three in the 1870 census.
“Mary Virgina "Jennie" Floyd Riley worked in the textile mills of Textile Village in Houston after 1910. She is found at 29 Washington Avenue, Houston, Harris County, Texas, in 1920. She hadn't been on a census since 1910. Her two youngest sons, Doc and Harold, were living with her, along with a boarder, a Mr. Will Monk, a very mysterious gentleman.
Jennie Floyd Riley died on March 17, 1922 in Houston, of the flu, complicated by a five-year history of pellagra. She is buried in Washington Cemetery, Houston, and her grave is marked only by a large damask rose bush. We believe that it is in the "Strangers' Rest" section, since the rest were sold in large plots, which were very
expensive.
Before Jennie's death, her daughter-in-law, Roxie Phillips Riley, reported that she pulled a bunch of feathers out from underneath her mattress, and spoke to them in a strange language. Roxie also said before her own death in 1962, that Jennie had told her that her mother had been a schoolteacher. Now, isn't that a little odd? Do you think
that the "feathers" were actually a rosary? Or was Jennie into hoodoo?
Jennie also supposedly killed a man, with a hoe (!!), according to her grandson, Charlie, who says that his father, Carter, Jennie's oldest living son, told him that.
Rumors also abound that Samuel Riley left the family. Perhaps Jennie caught him running around and got out the gardening tools again? :) Another rumor says that the family tried to move West, but came back when Sam died somewhere in West Texas. That could explain the lack of records between 1900 and 1920.
But, here's the thing: the two youngest kids, Harold and Doc, were born in Nacogdoches in 1908 and 1910. I have their birth certificates. And Howard, another child, died in Nacogdoches County in 1912. The tombstone says, Son of Samuel Richard and Mary Virginia Riley, and it was also confirmed on the death certificate. Now, if they were in Nacogdoches County, which they certainly seem to be, why are none of the family members listed on the 1910 census there, or in any of the
surrounding counties? ALANNA

Samuel Richard Riley married Mary Virginia Floyd-she was the daughter of William Talton Floyd and Miranda Jane Cherry. We had heard that William Talton Floyd had killed a man named Archibald and fled to Texas. The newspaper article was submitted to “ancestry .com” by Becky Colvin. The victim’s name was Thomas Archibald and there was a $3000. reward, a lot of money in those days. Alanna had just found out they are going to have a baby. The article was probably in the Richland Beacon newspaper on 9/13/1873.” MELISSA RILEY

“The first direct information we have of a permanent settler in this area comes to us by way of church history and an old newspaper which says that Tobais Gibson from the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church has been assigned to preach up and down the Mississippi Territory. He attended the Annual Conference held in Harrison Co. KY., in 1799 and asked for help in the vast territory which he was unable to cover. He was awarded a young man by the name of Moses Floyd, a young minister of three years experience. He too, was a native of South Carolina and unmarried, the best status for a circuit rider.
This status did not last long because the Revereend Floyd became interested in and married a Miss Hannah Griffing, and in 1807 came to the west banks of the Macon River and organized a Methodist Church. Perhamps his new family status created a desire to settle down in one place, because he also began to practice medicine. Later, as a trading post developed and the village began to grown, it was named Floyd in honor of its first prominent settler, Moses Floyd.

Gano, John Allen
Text from James Challen, (editor), Ladies' Christian Annual, October, 1857 (Volume VI, No. 10), Philadelphia: James Challen, Publisher. Pages 305-310. This online edition © 1998, James L. McMillan.
Born: Georgetown, Kentucky, July 14th, 1805 Died: October 14, 1887
ACCOMPANYING the portrait of John Allen Gano, a minister of the Gospel of Christ.
The mother of John A. Gano was born in Bedford County, Virginia. Her father, Caleb Ewing, not long after, was killed by lightning, and she, with a near relative, moved to Kentucky, then quite a wilderness, where, in 1797, she was married to R. M. Gano, the father of John Allen Gano. She died of consumption in Georgetown, April 9, 1812, leaving four daughters, Mary, Margaret, Cornelia, and Eliza, and three sons, John Allen Gano, the subject of this sketch, Stephen F., and Richard M. His father, in his forty-first year, died near Georgetown, October 22nd, 1815, soon after his return from his last campaign in the war of 1812. Thus, in the eleventh year of his life, John A. Gano was left an orphan.
He completed his academic courses in 1821.
Being in bad health, he spent a portion of his time in travelling in the southern part of his native State. In the year 1822, he went to reside with his near relative in Cincinnati, Major Daniel Gano, Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton County, Ohio, and continued in his office for one year, after which, returning to Georgetown, in March, 1823, he commenced the study of law under Judge Warren, and in 1826 was duly examined and admitted to practice.
In the midst of his preparations for his future career as a lawyer, and while travelling south, with a view of making a location in Texas, he was suddenly and violently attacked with hemorrhage of the lungs. In his affliction, he called on the Lord, and resolved, if spared, to become a Christian and seek preparation for a better world.
Early in the summer of 1827, he heard the Gospel of Christ, as preached by Elders Barton W. Stone, Francis R. Palmer, and Thomas M. Allen. Under the immediate labors of the last-named person, he embraced the good news of salvation, and began at once to proclaim the Gospel to his fellow-men. He was immersed by Elder T. M. Allen, at Georgetown, Kentucky, July 10th, 1827.
In October, 1827, he was married to Mary Catherine Conn, daughter of Captain William Conn, of Bourbon County, Kentucky, and became after this event a resident of that county. In 1828, he visited Harrodsburg, Republican, Fayette County, and Kentontown, near the Blue Licks, and always with more or less success.
Although engaged in farming on a small scale, as a means of support to his little family, he was hindered but little in his labors, and, so far as his health and strength would admit, he gave himself wholly to the work. In after years, the long and protracted ill health of his wife restricted his field of labor to the regions round about his home, though his heart panted for a wider circuit. In all the year 1830 he preached regularly at Union, Antioch, sometimes at Leesburg, Mount Carmel, Cynthiana, Cooper's Run, Lexington, Georgetown, and often in his own vicinity.
He set out late in the year 1847 for Louisiana. After spending a month at Lake Providence and on Joe's Bayou, he preached the way of salvation; leaving his family early in January, 1848, he went to Baton Rouge, and finding here a few brethren,--among them G. G. McHatton and wife,--through their influence he obtained the use of a meeting-house, and organized a congregation of eleven members,--the first church of the kind planted in that city on Apostolic grounds. He then proceeded to the City of New Orleans, and introduced ten or twelve more into the ancient faith. He then returned to Baton Rouge, and remained with the infant congregation he had planted until it numbered about forty-five; returning to Lake Providence.
John A. Gano has been the father of eight children; two died in infancy, and one,
Fanny C., not long after her marriage, died, in the hope of immortality, at the early age of eighteen.

George, Sir
“We find the names of John Mason and Sir George’s, and others forming a corporation to settle some of the territory but it seems they failed. It is more than a hundred years before we find the land in another grant. This one made to Baron de Bastrop by the King of Spain in the 1790’s. We have seen the Baron’s efforts to settle the portion of his grant west of Boeuf River, but we find no such effort to do the same east of the river. We do find that he sold this part of his grant to General John Adair, who in turn sold to others, but before much was done the United State government purchased the Orleans Territory and the question of honoring the Baron de Bastrop claim came up. If Adair ever attempted to entice real settlers to the area, we found no record of it. It seem he sold the land to speculators, but we do find David Adair involved in a land transaction as late 1840. “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

Girard, Stephen
“Land sold cheap, some of it for as little as $1.25 per acre. People saw stablilization now that the land belonged to the United States and one could be certain of titles. Many influential planters from the east and other sections of the nation began to come into the area near the Mississippi Rivers by the 1820’s. None were more prominent than the Morancy brothers .”
Emile and Honore Morancy were born in San Domingo of parents descended from French nobility. Their parents were killed during the revolution in that countyr. The children were saved by a nurse, who hid them in a hogshead (a barrel) and rolled them aboard a ship owned by Stephen Girard, bound for Philadelphia. After reaching the city of brotherly love, Emile was adopted by Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the great statesman, philosopher, and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Honore was taken in by a French abbot. Both boys were educated, Emile to be a doctor, Honore a teacher. They came to Louisiana to be cotton planters and politicians.” “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

Griffin, George Washington
BIOGRAPHIES: “ George W. Griffin was born in Brandon, Miss., the youngest of 8 children. Born a decade after slavery, George early decided that he wanted to be “something and somebody.” One day he left his plow in the field and went to the house and informed his parents that he was going to college. Penniless, he set out afoot for Tougaloo College in Jackson, Miss.
George worked his way through school as a field and janitorial helper. Few Negroes could read or write then and most of the teachers of the college were whites from the North. G. W. Griffin excelled in penmanship, and took courses in Latin, Carpentry, the Bible, instrumental and vocal music, drama and good manners?
Griffin came to Louisiana to teach because of better salaries. The “Professor“ began his career at Transylvania, La. Later he transferred to the East Carroll Parish Training School, and eventually became its 1st Principal. He remained there until his retirement in 1947. He also taught classes for adults. At an in-service class which he taught in Monroe, he met Jerushia Parks and convinced her to come to L. P. to teach. Later they were married.
George & Jerushia Griffin had 8 children: Hylda Parks, George W., Jr., Vivian Faye, Anderson Andrew, Edward Stanton, Alonzo Clark, Camille Imagene, and Alphonso Julius.
South of Lake Providence, on La. Hwy 65, “Professor“ bought 22 lots and built his home. At the time his property was outside the city limits; he wanted to be in the country so he “raise children, chickens, cattle and hogs without encountering too much friction from too close neighbors.”
In 1913, he bought a 164-acres farm at the head of the lake and called it Lake View Plantation. He sold the excellent timber and began raising pecans, rice, sugarcane, cotton, and corn.
Professor Griffin was a good business man and a humanist. He was never heard to speak unkind words against anyone. At meals Griffin would test the children‘s knowledge of the multiplication tables, the parts of speech, and various Bible verses and stores. Holiday dinners usually included goose, dressing, English peas, hot buttered rolls, potato pie, ambrosia, mellowed fruitcake, hot jelly cake and homemade wine. Every Sunday the entire family attended Sunday School and in the afternoon they went for a walk on the levee or a ride in the car. Heavy stress was placed upon education. The children were encouraged to learn poems and read book from an early age.” Georgia Pinkston’s book “A Place to Remember”

“Hi! I'm trying to find out if Franklin Decatur Galloway was in Carroll Parish in 1870. I know he was there in 1850, but went back to Mississippi for 1860 and I can't find him in 1870. But in 1874 his son, George Lewis Galloway married Ann Eliza Alsobrook, daughter of the Civil War Casualty I wrote about. So it could be they all came back to Louisiana in the time period I can't place the man.
Also, was James Franklin Galloway in Carroll Parish in 1870? He'd be old enough to have his own place. Thomas Gough would be, too. In fact, chances are any Galloways in the area are related to my George because he had nine brothers and he was one of the middle sons. Also, was George Lewis Galloway still in LA for the 1880 Census?
If this is too much to look up. Concentrate on Franklin D Galloway for 1870 (I'm hoping George is in his household) and George Lewis Galloway for 1880.

RIFT AMONG NEIGHBORS: “Mrs. Flake‘s parents lived south of Floyd, the Dickersons, Roberts, and Cawthorn to the west, and none of them ever heard their parents or grandparents say that Floyd was damaged very much. It is inconceivable to me that the children of parents living in Floyd during the Civil War never heard of much destruction there. Janie Gibson‘s mother and mother-in-law were near Floyd, one on Colonel Lott‘s place to the east of Floyd, and the other on the Moore and Wilson farms, just north of Floyd on the Macon front. Janie never heard either say that Floyd was burned and she knows the Wilson and Moore homes wee not destroyed as her husband Ben Gibson tore the old Moore house down after they bought the place in the 1920‘s from John LeFevre.” From the book “Between the Rivers”, by Florence McKoin.

Georgia Pinkston’s book “A Place to Remember”

Gilmore, John
“The following is an example of land dealing by absentee land owners after Louisiana became a state in 1812. The Baron de Bastrop and the John Adair claim are both mentioned.
The land transaction in which the Adair claim is mentioned is found in old Notarial Book A., page 60, ‘John Smith, resident of Baton Rouge to Charles Hubb, resident of Ouachita Parish, a deed to 950 acres of land, being a part of Baron de Bastrop grant, known and distinguished in the Ludlow Map of the State of La., to be a part of General John Adair’s claim, deed by said Adair to Sevard Claiborne and purchased by said Smith, as it will appear in Recorder’s Office, Parish of Ouachita, consideration $1200.00. This land the western half of Section 8 and the whole Section 5, agreeable to the platt and survey executed by me, John Gilmore, in the beginning of Year 1822 and deposited in the Judge’s offices of the parish of Ouachita and Baton Rouge, this the 24th day of May, 1822.’
On the same page we find John Gilmore purchasing from John Smith section 7 and the half of section 8 west of Bayou Macon on April 11, 1822. Thus, we know these two land transactions involved a part of what is now West Carroll Parish and we also see that dealing or speculating in land by absentee landowners began early in our history and continued for over a hundred years.
John Gilmore was a resident of Ouachita Parish, but, I believe, he lived in Monroe. He is listed as a resident of Ouachita Parish in the 1830 census.”

Griffin, Bill
“After the war the Quantrell Gang stayed around, of and on, for several years. W. E. Huffman, present parish assessor of West Carroll Parish, said Bill Griffin told him of accompanying Cole Younger to Oak Ridge one day in the short distance from a general merchandise store, and as they approached the store, one of the 4 men sitting on the porch said, “That is a fine horse you have there.” Col answered, “None better anywhere, if so, I would have it.” Another man said, “I will challenge that, I have a horse that can outrun your horse any day!” Cole accepted the challenge and a bet was made in the amount of $200, all Cole Younger had. Judges were found and the race took place; Cole’s horse won by a small margin.
On the way back to the store an argument began over the honesty of the race and the outcome was even questioned. Cole said very little but asked for his money when they reached the store. There was hesitation where upon Cole whipped out his pistol and shot the 4 men before anyone knew what was happening. Then he turned and said, “Come on, Bill.” They rode out of town on across Boeuf River whence they came. No one followed then or later. No arrests was ever made, even though three men lay dead and one badly wounded.” From “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

Henry, ?
“Many early settlers just staked out their claims without buy from anyone. Later, we find a few of them clearing their titles with the federal government after the U. S. Survey of 1841. Their claims wee honored if they were living on the firms. We will recall the surveyors were instructed to mark such farms and not molest the farmers and later titles could be cleared. On an old map, I found the following improvements, as the farms were called at that time. The Floyd, Henry, Kent, Rollins, McGuire, Bebee, and Sutton, all located on the Cook Terry Road, and near Floyd were the Lindsey and McGinpio farms. In Old Book A, page 44, I found the Rollins purchasing their land from the U. S. Government on October 14, 1835.

Jaret, Captain
RIFT AMONG NEIGHBORS: “The Ouantrill/Quantrell Gang, as the guerrillas were known, came into the area between the rivers for two reasons. First, the isolation and vast swamps, which made pursuit dangerous; the second , the Younger and James Brothers, who were members of the gang, had relatives in this region. Cole Younger’s daughter married Captain Jaret, and they lived on the Eddins place south of the Bayou Macon Church and a sister of the James Brothers lived near Delhi. They were welcome in this area for their help, especially in organizing and drilling the Home Guard. “ From “Between the Rivers” by Florence Stewart McKoin

Keene, Alexander
“CITIZENS WHO LEFT THEIR MARK: Judge Morgan of Ouachita Parish bought almost all of Ward 2 in East Carroll Parish for $1.25 an acre. Three Presidents of the U. S. signed the many deeds: Van Buren, Jackson, & Tyler. He owned what is now Wilton Plantation and Morgan Plantation, living on Wilton which was later owned by Norris Williamson. His only surviving child, Julia, married Alexander C. Keene, a widower of Stamboul Plantation. She and some of their children are buried on the south side of the Stamboul house, the present home of Mrs. Harry Shields.
After the death of Alexander Keene, Julia married her cousin Oliver Tennile Morgan, son of Oliver Morgan’s brother Jonathan, who owned and lived at Salem Plantation and was a former sheriff of Ouachita Parish.” From the book “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston.

Keene, William Billingsly
“FIRST TOWN FORMED: In the local courthouse in Conveyance Book A., page 135, and datelined L. P., Louisiana, Nov. 23, 1833, is an article of agreement between John L. Martin and William B. Keene on the division of the front lots of the town.” Georgia Pinkston’s book “A Place to Remember”

The story of the Keenes is interwoven with Bodien, Buckner, Bynum, Constant , Elley, LaMothe, Morgan, Richards, Tebbett, Graham, and Schneider families. These seven generations of the Keene family span one hundred and thirty years.
It begins with William Billingsly Keene of Georgetown, Scott County, Kentucky, and Carroll Parish, who was the first W. B. Keene (there being three generations with those initials) and his wife, Hannah Bodien Wallis of Baltimore. They had four children; two daughters, Mary Keene Elliott, wife of Dr. Theodore Elliott, and Eleanora Keene Richards, wife of Dr. William Lewis Richards of Kentucky.
The Lewis Richards were the parents of Alexander Keene Richards, who inv invariably sighed his name "A. Keene Richards". He loved horses and travel. W. B. Keene purchased Transylvania Plantation from his Richards son-in-law in 1831. Harry Hardeman Graham, a Keen son-in-law, gave the right-of-way for a railroad line through Transylvania in 1902.
In 1860, a steamboat was given the family name. Arabian thoroughbred horses-- a gift from the Sultan, were raised and jasmine and myrr plants were grown in the house garden. The family formed a New York cotton company which shipped thousands of bales of cotton to Liverpool, England.
The Keene family enjoyed a high standard of living. Invoices for barrels of superfine flour, Spanish saddles, bales of wool, boxes of candles, casks of Port wine, kits of mackerel, imported cologne, white sugar by the barrel, buckboard for the men, and a carriage for the ladies clearly indicate this. The ladies of the family bought fans to match each gown. These fans were made of gauze, satin or vellum, with sticks inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and prices ranging form $20. to $50. The poise and dignity of the ladies, and the self-restraint and courteousness of the mean whas tempered with religion--the Episcopal.
The will of the first William Billingsley Keene was dated Septemeber 27, 1856, and in it he gave away plantations with a few strokes of the pen and dollars by the thousands. Earlier he had given his sons the plantations on which they were residing. "I have given my Louisiana land and slaves to them at sundry times, " he wrote.
Frances Elley and John Wallis Keene, son of William B. Keene, were married. Their five children were: William Bodien (W. B. number 2), Ben Harry, Mry E. and Tubman. Mrs. Keene inherited land and slaves from her parents in Mississippi and used both in the management of Sauve Terre. After the death of her husband in 1854, she assumed the supervisory duties of the plantation for a four year period assisted by a manager. On December 28, 1858, she married Dr. Horance B. Tebbetts who was probably from Massachusetts. During the Tebbetts-Keene marriage they renamed the steamboat the "Mary E. Keene".
The oldest son, William Bodien Keene, married Caroline Atherton Bynum, a descendant of Marquis LaMothe of France. They had three children, two daughters and a son. The older daughter was Frances Elley Keene, known for her beauty and grace. The second daughter, Jessica Atherton Keene, married Harry Hardeman Graham. She died after the birth of her second child, Jessica Graham Schneider. The first child was a son, Samuel Lowry Graham. The son of the W. B. Keenes was named Wallis Bodien Keene earned the rank of captain during the Civil War and was a prosperous planter. He owned Atherton Plantation and half of Sauve Terre, with his sister Mary Keene Constant.
His plantation store " " resembled a handsome river packet. His office was finished in old gold.
Captain Keene died on August 14, 1891. The Civil War had taken its toll on the plantation. Mrs. Keene carried on the business to the best of her ability, but on August 1, 1894, Charles Newman of the firm, H. & C. Newman, commission merchants of New Orleans, bought at auction the home , its furnishings, land, cattle, and the store merchandize, paying $189,102.28, or two-thirds its appraised value.
On January 4, 1895, Mrs. Keene filed the last papers of her succession of the estate and later moved to town.” THINK THIS CAME FROM THE NEWPAPER STORY BY MAUDE VANFOSSEN

Kellogg, William Pitt
“William Pitt Kellogg, a colored man under the domination of northern Yankees, was elected governor of the state in 1872. He had vast appointive powers, in fact, he appointed at will, men for man offices. He appointed Jim Ridley, a native of Carroll Parish , living near Floyd, as representative for Carroll Parish at one time. He appointed Harrison Henson as magistrate for Ward 2, and Sherriff for Carroll Parish. Leon LeFevre said these colored appointees west of the Macon never served. Magistrate Henson came to Floyd to hold court one day. After Ace Anderson held a conference with him, he departed without holding court and never returned in the capacity of magistrate again. “ Florence Stewart McKoin’s book “Between the Rivers”

“Many early settlers just staked out their claims without buy from anyone. Later, we find a few of them clearing their titles with the federal government after the U. S. Survey of 1841. Their claims wee honored if they were living on the firms. We will recall the surveyors were instructed to mark such farms and not molest the farmers and later titles could be cleared. On an old map, I found the following improvements, as the farms were called at that time. The Floyd, Henry, Kent, Rollins, McGuire, Bebee, and Sutton, all located on the Cook Terry Road, and near Floyd were the Lindsey and McGinpio farms. In Old Book A, page 44, I found the Rollins purchasing their land from the U. S. Government on October 14, 1835. Their descendants are with us today, one of whom is Mrs. Willie Mae Dillard Roberts of Oak Grove.” “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

Kennedy, H. L.
BIOGRAPHIES: “Hugh L. Kennedy, Sr. and Lillie B. Jacob Kennedy are the elder members of this family. He was born in Farmerville in 1905, and she in Temple, Texas, in 1907. They are the parents of H. Leroy Kennedy, Jr., and Frances Janet Kennedy. Janet died in 1959. They came to this parish in 1942, and Mr. Kennedy was at first a partner of A. P. Surles in the Providence Equipment Company. He was also a co-owner of Planters Butane Company, and Secretary of Carroll Gin, Inc. Mr. Kennedy went into full-time farming in 1955 with his son, and built a home on the farm on La Hwy 134. He was instrumental in the organization of the 1st Christian Church in Lake Providence. H. Leroy Kennedy, Jr. and Marilyn Kelley Kennedy, daughter of Arlo and Grace Kelley, were both born in Amarillo, Texas. He moved to L. P. with his parents in 1942, and graduated from La. Tech University in 1951. He then began farming with his father. Leroy is past President of E. C. Farm Bureau and is a member of the Soybean Marketing Committee. Marilyn moved to L. P. in 1958, and for 11 yrs was legal secretary for the Voelker, Ragland, and Brackin law firm. She was instrumental in the organization of the 1st Christian Church. The H. L. Kennedys, Jr., are parents of Harold Lee Kennedy, a graduate of L. S. U. Medical School, and now a Captain in the Navy in California. Kelly Don Kennedy is a graduate of La. Tech and is a farmer. Michael Hugh, Kay Frances, and Charles Patterson Kennedy all attend Briarfield Academy.” From the book “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston.

Kennedy, Dr. J. L.
BIGRAPHIES: “In 1967, Dr. J. L. Kennedy celebrated his 91st birthday. He was East Carroll‘s oldest native citizen and still a practicing dentist. He was one of 4 sons of Joseph M. Kennedy who came to L. P. from Clinton, Louisiana, in the early 1870‘s. Joseph was a lawyer, judge, and a Confederate soldier. Dr. Kennedy‘s brother, Robert P. Kennedy, was also a lawyer.
Dr. Kennedy had 2 sons, Joseph and Leonard, and a daughter, Dorothy. Leonard has for several years been the Assessor for the parish.
According to a local newspaper: ‘Dr. Kennedy reminisced about the days of his youth and the beautiful belles of that time--Nellie Delony, Mary Montgomery, Dolly Kennedy, Edna Pilcher and many others. He spoke of the old Opera House days when Robert Kennedy, Mack Goodwin, Dave Parker, and Sam Kennedy helped furnish the music for the wonderful entertainments held there. Their pianist was Kate Davis Maben, a very talented musician, who played the piano in very much the same style as the lady pianist on the Lawrence Welk‘s program. Mrs. Vail Montgomery was one of the chaperones, who gave her time so freely.’
Dr. J. L. Kennedy painted a very vivid picture of the early town of L. P.--the dirt streets which were almost impassable during bad weather. He can remember when once a team of 4 mules got stuck in the mud on the corner where the L. P. Bank was located (a livery stable was there at that time). The sidewalks consisted of nothing more than two planks and the ditches were open drains where fish, frogs, and eels could be caught.
Dr. Kennedy‘s favorite hobby of overlay and inlay woodwork was begun when a boy and continued through the years. He made many interesting and delicate articles of wood. He had a certificate dated May 3, 1953, proving that he made the 1st hole-in-one shot at the Legion Golf Course; and another, dated Nov. 26, 1958, when he visited the celebration of the Louisiana Purchas and was made an honorary citizen of New Orleans.” From the book “A Place to Remember”, by Georgia Pinkston.

Leddy, Louis J.
Louis J. Leddy was born in New York City, January 1st 1861, having arrived in our little town in his early boyhood (1881). We first greet him in the “Blue store” under the employ of Mr. T. Byrne. He left our town with Mr. Martin’s family some six years ago to cast his lot in Vicksburg; where he won a host of friends by his genial and pleasing manners. He was clerk at the Washington Hotel. And later of the Hotel Piazzo.
Mr. Leddy was characterized with an amiable disposition, a courteous and attractive personality, which won for him the love and esteem of all who knew him. “I knew him well Heratio.”
He had his faults and foibles, but when we look at his many priceless virtues, we ought to lose sight of them; a fast friend, unwearied in his exertions to unselfishly serve his friend as far as he was capable, and equally an earnest to forgive an injury.
He was conscientiously and rigorously attached to principles, while respecting the rights of others, incapable of betraying their conscience, trust or honor; a man un__ng to vigor of mind and strength of soul that di__cified, and gentle courtesy which is only the perfume of Christian charity. Louis J. Leddy died of consumption at Vicksburg, MS on June 5, 1894 at his friend J. L. Martins’ home. He was 33 years old. He left a brother and married sister, residents of Chicago. His father, mother, and other members of the family are buried in the Lake Providence Cemetery where his remains will be taken by the steamer City of Hickman.

It is inconceivable to me that the children of parents living in Floyd during the Civil War never heard of much destruction there. Janie Gibson‘s mother and mother-in-law were near Floyd, one on Colonel Lott‘s place to the east of Floyd, and the other on the Moore and Wilson farms, just north of Floyd on the Macon front. Janie never heard either say that Floyd was burned and she knows the Wilson and Moore homes wee not destroyed as her husband Ben Gibson tore the old Moore house down after they bought the place in the 1920‘s from John LeFevre.” From the book “Between the Rivers”, by Florence McKoin.

He dreamed of a great wheat state and trade with the Indians, d, but, of course, he and the others were more interested in the land near the large waterways, the only means of transportation for large quantities of supplies.

Keene on the division of the front lots of the town, beginning at “Samuel Peck‘s store and running up the river Mississippi and down the bayou“ (Providence), divided into 15 lots of 50 foot frontage, and 210 feet back from the “levy“.

Mason, John
“We find the names of John Mason and Sir Georges, and others forming a corporation to settle some of the territory but it seems they failed. It is more than a hundred years before we find the land in another grant. This one made to Baron de Bastrop by the King of Spain in the 1790’s. We have seen the Baron’s efforts to settle the portion of his grant west of Boeuf River, but we find no such effort to do the same east of the river. We do find that he sold this part of his grant to General John Adair, who in turn sold to others, but before much was done the United State government purchased the Orleans Territory and the question of honoring the Baron de Bastrop claim came up. If Adair ever attempted to entice real settlers to the area, we found no record of it. It seem he sold the land to speculators, but we do find David Adair involved in a land transaction as late 1840.’ “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

Mason, Samuel (Pirate)
“The first we know of the white man to the east of us comes by way of history. Williamson’s History of Northeast Louisiana tells us of the episodes of a gang of pirates operating on the Mississippi River in the late 1700’s in the area of what is now Lake Providence. These pirates were led by a Captain Bunch, later being joined by a group of cut throats run out of Kentucky whose leader was Samuel Mason. So successful were these pirates in harassing river traffic that boatmen, who successfully evaded them and made it safely past the bend in the river, thanked providence for their delivery.

McGinpio, ?
“Many early settlers just staked out their claims without buy from anyone. Later, we find a few of them clearing their titles with the federal government after the U. S. Survey of 1841. Their claims wee honored if they were living on the firms. We will recall the surveyors were instructed to mark such farms and not molest the farmers and later titles could be cleared. On an old map, I found the following improvements, as the farms were called at that time. The Floyd, Henry, Kent, Rollins, McGuire, Bebee, and Sutton, all located on the Cook Terry Road, and near Floyd were the Lindsey and McGinpio farms. In Old Book A, page 44, I found the Rollins purchasing their land from the U. S. Government on October 14, 1835. Their descendants are with us today, one of whom is Mrs. Willie Mae Dillard Roberts of Oak Grove.” “Between the Rivers” Florence McKoin

McIntyre, John (there were 2)
“Soldiers, who had left the area to fight, began to come home, some maimed, others ill, and all damaged by the horrors of war, lack of food, & clothing. Many did not come home. Two who did not return were Asbury Cawthorn and John McIntyre. One who did return was Henry De Los Briggs.
