Liz, I am really thrilled about the Ailes connection to the Republic of Texas and the wonderful history about the steamboat Cayuga you sent. I just have a feeling all the early Ailes who came to LA and MS were involved in riverboat stuff and think they may have been coming down the Ohio River to the Mississippi River to Natchez/New Orleans on flat boats even before steamboats were in use. Both Lewis County and Jefferson County in Kentucky were located on the Ohio River. It is really a treasure when family history can be so well documented coinciding with our great National history! I while back I read a really good book about the Alamo and Goliad, wish I could remember the name of it! (I'm going to search for it and read it again!) The whole battle for the Independence of Texas is such a dramatic and interesting part of our history. I want to read that whole diary from that link you sent this morning......I just need some T I M E !!! Even my husband is excited about and interested in this very historical information. He's spent the day looking at maps, etc. of Texas. I've done my best to transcribe two of the documents from the Texas State Library & Archives Commission web site and have posted them under File Cabinet on the Aills MyFamily site. If anyone has a problem opening them, let me know, and I can send you the transcripts via direct e-mail.
