I am descended from Mosley Hollye Dozier and Hamilton Parrish through their youngest son, Benjamin. Mosley was first married to Benjamin Dozier. When Hamilton and Mosley moved to Texas, several of Mosley's children by Benjamin went with them, as well as several of Hamilton's children by his first wife, Belinda Handley. One of Hamilton and Belinda's sons, James Irwin Parrish, married one of Mosley and Benjamin's daughters, Mary Elizabeth, mixing these step-families even more.

Was your Daniel Dozier related to John Dozier of Bullock Co? Emily Daniel Dozier was my great x4 grandfather. His son Benjamin married a Holley. His daughter, Sarah, also married a Holley, Elias Holley. Sarah and Elias Holley had five children, including a daughter named Rebecca after whom I am named, and moved to Franklin County, TX in 1871.

In the book " Early History of Covington County, Alabama 1821-1871" by Wyley Donald Ward on page 316 , Appendix I is a Muster Roll of Company A, Covington County Reserves, dated August 27, 1864. On page 319 there is a list of Company C, Covington County Reserves, dated September 14, 1864. These would be the lists of the Home Guard during the WBTS for Covington Co. I would like to find the documentation for these Muster Rolls. Does anyone know where these original records would be found ? It is not in the records kept by the National Archives and the names are not on the offical index of soldiers. I am wondering if it could be found in the county records somewhere? Does anyone know? Help would be most appreciated! Jackie McInnis
