Hello Robert: Try the Gendex site for lots of info. And if everyone is having withdrawals from the LDS site being temporarily down, this is an excellent way to burn a Friday afternoon and snoop around the surnames! http://www.gendex.com An old trick, but still fun...

Bronya, The Roche-McKay Mortuary Records have been microfilmed and the film is located at the Mobile Municipal Archives (334-434-7740). Also, check with your nearest LDS Family History Center. Check the catalog - see if the film is ready for renting from the Family History Center. Eugenia (Mobile)

If any of >you know about specific WAGON TRAINS that came to Alabama, >take the time to post a message about the TRAIN, In my case it was a wagon train 'from' Alabama. John Christopher MACK lived in Dallas / Lowndes Co., AL in 1849 he, his wife Mary Jane RUSSELL, and their children: John Bishop (and his wife Sarah DRISCOLL/DRISKILL), George Christopher, and there younger siblilngs left AL travelling west. When they reached Livingston Parish, LA an oxen broke it's leg and it was decided that the John Mack family would settle there instead of traveling on. Another son Ezra R. may have gone on the trip, but returned to AL and married Charlotte DRISCOLL/DRISKILL who may have been a daughter of Allen DRISKILL, possibly Sarah was a sister or cousin. It isn't know what other families may have made up the wagon train, possibly older sons of John C. Mack and other Alabama neighbors. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Seeking any info on the FAVRE family, residents of the Mobile area in 1763. they later moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

I don't know whether it is true or not, but I telephoned with a gentleman at the former Roche-McKay funeral home today, who told me that he thought that all of their records after 1902 had been donated to the Friends of Magnolia Cemetery. Anybody local to Mobile able to check on this? Bronya Berkeley, CA Surnames: Myers, Dantzler-Rhodes, Seale, Thomas, Dodds, Kelly, Baumhauer

Onto the pack horses and mules they loaded the family clothing, some blankets and a few other bedclothes, with bed ticks to be filled with grass or hair, a large pot, a pair of pot hooks, an oven with a lid, a skillet and frying pan, a hand mill to grind grain, a wooden trencher in which to make bread, a few pewter plates, spoons, and other dishes, some axes and hoes, the iron parts of a plow, a broad ax, a froe, a saw, and an auger. Added to these were supplies of seeds for fields and vegetable crops, and a few fruit tree saplings. They traveled the buffalo paths, game trails, Indian trails, creeks and rivers to find a place for their new homes. When their destinations was reached, they cut trees and built a log house, split boards with the froe and made a roof which was held on by weight poles, no nails being available. Puncheons were made by splitting logs and having the flat side smooth for floors and door shutters. Some chimneys were made of split sticks covered on the inside with a heavy coating of clay; but usually stones were used for this purpose as they were plentiful. The space between the log walls were filled with mortar called chinks and dobbins. The horses and cattle were turned into the woods to eat grass in the summer and cane in the winter, being enticed home at night by a small bait of salt or grain. The small trees and bushes were cut and their roots grubbed up, while larger trees were girdled and left to die and become leafless. Rails were made and the clearing fenced in, the brush piled and burned, the land plowed and planted. It was work from daylight to dark, to get the cabins built, a wood supply cut and split, before winter came on. After the first year, a larger cabin would be built, leaving the original to become the barn. Other smaller sheds were built to house the corn and grain raised for the family food and the animals. Just some info from my family researches and history.

I finally received copy of marriage license application from Mobile. There is My great grandfathers signature, William J. Ryan, THADY MCNULLY, and Patrick Cullen. I do not know the second name. It is hard to make out but I believe it is right or close. Does anyone recognize this name. His living relatives might be able to supply me with some important info. And he could have been a friend and witness to the application. Don Ryan

Magnolia Cemetery, Mobile, as many internments with no tombstones, many of which are not children. In some cases there never were stones or old stones were destroyed and not replaced. The cemetery office and "Friends of Magnolia Cemetery" at the office have cards showing the positions and data on both graves with and without tombstones. My guess is perhaps 20% of Magnolia's internments are now stoneless. My Col. Gilbert Christian Russell, Sr., War of 1812 defender of Mobile was intered under a long plain slab with no data inscription. He died 1861 a earlier there was likely a long flat mable slab with inscription which broke up and is missing. He now has a U.S. government stone. Jim My last visit to Magnolia was about five years ago so some of this information may be stale. -----Original Message----- From: Marian Cranford <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, April 28, 1999 9:33 AM Subject: Re: [AL-MOBILEBAY-L] BOSARGE/MCVOY >Hi - I don't know if this'll help, but f from the boook "Magnolia Cemetery >1828 - 1971," by Thompson: > >p. 40.
