He was a member of the Masonic lodge at St. Stephens, land office agent, magistrate, and asst. Indian agent who with Lt. Gaines arrested Aaron Burr. He briefly removed to Wakefield, Washington Co., Ala., and finally Mobile. His wife was Mrs.Mary S. Malone and he likely maried 1799 (then land clerk, Raleigh, N.C.) to circa 1805. Do not know his wife's maiden name? Do St. Stephens 1800-1810 marriage records exist? Jim, Charlotte, N.C.

Hi list! I'm trying to help out someone from another list that's hit a brick wall. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Frederick Bryant Gregory allegedly died and buried in Lucedale, MS in the 1840's. She would like to know the name of the cemetary where he is buried, and the exact date of his death. If anyone knows of this person, please contact me and let me know where and how I can get her a copy of the obituary, cemetary record, etc. Thanks, Sheila [email protected]

Hi What about Winston Brannon and Sarah Williams, they are buried in Tanner Williams in Williams cemetary. Sarah was born ca 1860-1870's. Kathy in SC

Do you know about the Allman family in Whistler, a little town outside of Mobile? I think the father was a magistrate or judge; he married a Peterson and they had two children: a boy and a girl, Robert Henry and Margaret, I think. She went to the University of North Carolina and got a degree in Library Science back in the 20s or 30s. -Meg Ezell

Hi again listmembes! This was sent to me and perhaps it can help others. It is very lengthy so I will just excerpt and try to explain what it says. It is from an article entitled "SOME OF THE EARLY BOSARGES" and was contributed by YATES AND VIVIAN SIMONSON and was published in a DEEP SOUTH GENEALOGY QUARTERLY, Vol XIV, pt 1 DSGQ page 7: "ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN NAMES ALONG THE COAST IN SOUTHERN MOBILE COUNTY IS BOSARGE; also spelled BOUSAGE, BAOUZAGE and BOSAGE in various documents." It says JOSEPH BOSARGE was the 1st permanent resident of BAYOU LA BATRE and the family patriarch who cared deeply about his family's welfare. He left records which help portray his pioneer settler and family life as he was literate and it says his signature is preserved in several documents. Married 1763 to LOUISA BAUDREAU, or BUDRO, d/o JOHN BAPTISTE BAUDREAU de la GRAVELINE who was "one of BIENVILLE'S trusted lieutenants" and was key in the settlement of the LA COLONY. Unfortunately, he is said to have died tragically in a bad "miscarriage of justice in the infamous DUCLOS affair." (*does anyone know what this is?) JOS.&LOUISA'S eldest son, JOHN BAPTISTE,[email protected] DEER ISL in 1766. JOS.died in 1791 in BAYOU LA BATRE so JOHN BAPTISTE became the head of the family.(listed as a taxpayer Mobile Co in 1816, and in the 1830 census where he owned 3 slaves. JOS.BOSARGE was in MOBILE-1770 w/ a lot and house for $200 pd. w/ "horned cattle," from JOHN FAVRE. The records are said to show in 1773 he sold this property to LEWIS MAROTEAUX for $200 cash according to the article. 1786-JOS. petit. MICRO for a grant on the w.side of BAYOU LA BATRE. Stated desire"because of the state of his misery to retire with his wife and children to a place of land...for the purpose of fishing and planting some corn for the support and maintenance of his family." It says he requested the grant "that he may live thereon undisturbed, and conceal from the eyes of the world his poverty and misery." (says his wife was sick and also had responsib.of 7 chldrn.) The date of grant request 6 OCT 1786 and was granted 7 NOV 1786 for "forty arpents." (How much would that be in $?) Next part says that "COLONIAL MOBILE" author HAMILTON states that"his misery was not over" as 1793, LOUISA, the WIDOW BOUSAGE, petit. the Gov.of the Territ. asking if the grant could begin where the "marsh meets the high ground, rather than at the water's edge." AND another settler was "encroaching" on the N. part of the claim. Yes, the petit. was granted, she d. in BAYOU LA BATRE,1807. The next part said the BOSARGE GRANT was held prev. by BARTHELEMEW GAULOTTE or GRELOT, who received by gave up the title in 1785 according to the article. The families were well known to one another as GRELOT had been a witn.to a BOSARGE deed etc. Most BOSARGE INFO is available on JOSEPH'S daughter, EUPHROSINE, (my 3rd great aunt through her marriage to DIEGO!). Euphros. was b. 1777 & in 1806 m. IRISH native, CORNELIUS MCCURTIN, who took over the FARMER or FARMAR PLANTATION in 1787 at TENSAW after the BRITISH had left (from the article>) McCurtin, had been married prev. & he &1st wf. moved from TENSAW to ST.STEPHENS in 1790 as the land was considered uninhab. in the TENSAW area. Says McCurtin had a son who d. as an infant and 1st wf died too. So, EUPRHOSINE'S 1st husb. was a widower with no heirs who died in 1807 with his will stating that wf, "EUPHROSINE MCCURTIN" the widow BOSARGE was his "sole heir." She inherited the many MCCURTIN properties and in 1808 she sold a house and lot on ROYAL ST ,MOBILE according to the article, to BENJAMIN DUBROCA, but kept an adjoining house and lot for her own use. Her name on the deed is EUPHROSINE POMPONNE BAUSAGE, widow McCURTIN. **this is where she marries into my family: AFTER THE DEATH OF her 1st husb, she married DIEGO MCVOY (my 3rd gr.uncle.) who was a "prominent MOBILIAN" who had a great deal of land including the former MCCURTAIN lands including 4374 ac. betw. DOG RIVER and the BAY. Next, it says EUPHROSINE sold the TENSAW prop to JOSHUA KENNEDY for $650. In MARTCH 1815 DIEGO MCVOY was elected to the MOBILE CITY COMMISSION and was re-elected again, according to the article, in 1817. ( note: I was also sent an auction notice from a MOBILE newspaper in the early 1820's which STILL lists DIEGO M'BOY as a commissioner! That is how the surname was sometimes spelled but later permanently as MCVOY.) The article goes on to say how DIEGO MCVOY played an "important part in providing the city sit imporved water facilities and drainage." Epilogue: EUPHROSINE d. MOBILE, 1845, buried @ MAGNOLIA CEM,MOBILE AL. The final paragraph says how important the BOSARGE family was in the area: "THE early BOSARGES participated actively in the development of the GULF COAST with courage and valor in the face of adversity. They fought fire and flood, overcame pestilence, conquered economic hardships, tamed the wilds, and left an eviable heritage." **some pretty profound words about a very important family!(my opinion) The sources listed on the copy I was sent include: "MOBILE TRANSLATED RECORDS" Copies of BOSARGE family documents in the possession of the article's author. HAMILTON, PETER JOSEPH, "COLONIAL MOBILE." PICKETT, A.J. , "HISTORY OF ALABAMA." Hope this helps someone. It was sent to me in reference to my 3rd great Uncle, DIEGO MCVOY, who, of course, was the 2nd husband of EUPHROSINE.I "attempted" to paraphrase the article and also added a little of DIEGO'S info as he is related to me personally."

I am looking for a Thomas D. Donihoo who was living in Alabama in the 1800's I have birth date on him of March 1849. I'm not sure if this is correct but one of his sons would of been my grandfather and his name was William Henry Donihoo, He had a brother by the name of Jim. William's place of birth I think was in 1877 in Pittsburgh, Mississippi I hope some one can help find something as I've hit a brick wall Larry C. Donihoo [email protected]

Thanks Marion, I have all of the Allmans from there and Pine Crest. There is only 2 in Magnolia and the other two are in Pine Crest. I believe that it is my G-Grandfather and my G-Grandmother.I cannot prove it though. I can't find a record of my Grandfather or the other children listed on the obits. And I know were born in Mobile being born. I have sent away for so many things from Mobile. Thank you so much though. Patty
