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.
