Having trouble sending diary pages -- graphic files too large, will work on this. Suzanne

Also, I have John Henry Wood's original enlistment certificate Jan. 12, 1861 as a 2nd lieutenant in the Rough and Ready Pioneers of Pike Co. I'm assuming that they were absorbed by the 1st AL when regular army was commissioned.

I would personally love to see records like this on the Pike Co. Alabama archive site so that all researchers can find the information. www.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/al/pike.htm and using the forms at www.genrecords.net/alfiles/ allows you to add your own comments about personal family data.

I too have lists with names not on Jan's lists and in addition the diary contains a list of names of men who died in prison camp and most notably tells of a Capt. Meadows who was shot and presumably killed (Wood says his leg would probably have to be amputated) by senteniels. The "transcriber" of the diary says the shooting of Capt. Meadows can be documented. Well, right now the diary is in my living room along with several letters and service records and some sundry family records. The diary was written by my great great grandfather, Capt. John Henry Wood of the First Alabama during his time in prison camp after their capture at Island 10. It won't change any history books, but it is, I think, an interesting account. I have mentioned these documents to a couple of people in the Pike County Historical Society at various times and there didn't seem to be any interest. To my knowledge, no one has ever read the papers, at least not recently, aside from our family, nor does anyone know of its existence. I am a cultural resources historian and always thought it was a pretty nifty primary source, but when no one appeared interested, I figured I was letting family pride get in the way of historical judgement. So there we are. I want very much for this document to be made available to the public, but I want it to be done in a proper way, not just scanning pages willy nilly. Also, my aunt had some "preservation" work done on the documents and had them "transcribed," just before, I might add, I came looking for them to edit for my MA thesis. The notebook was taken apart and the pages laminated as were the letters. This renders the originals, especially the letters nearly unintelligible so much reliance has to be placed on the transcription. My desire has always been for it to be serialized in a historical journal, I don't think it is publishable. I had hoped for the proceedings of the Pike County Historical Society, but I received no encouragement. Please understand, I don't want to try to make any money off the diary, if I wanted that, I could have sold it on ebay a long time ago (and technically at least, it belongs to my aunt). I want it to be a proper historical resource, fully accessible, but with my gggfther recognized and credit given to my family who fortunately kept and preserved it. Perhaps y'all who are in AL can tell me where it would best be deposited. So what cha wanna know about it??? I'm happy to post stuff like names mentioned, the list of the dead, etc., info on John Henry and family (several brothers also served including Major Pinckard Wood). Oh, and I have a transcription of a letter from Capt. Wood's brother in law that makes Sullivan Ballou's look like a form letter!

Glad you see that you already have something to contribute to history. Take his works and put them together with info of the battles that he was in and the places he mentions and when it is all put together I bet it would be quite interesting to read.

Susie, I am sorry, I never saw the email, but I have so many projects going right now and geneaology has been on the back burner that I could have just deleted it, again, I am sorry. I am quite familiar with the Southern Historical Press -- I went to grad school at USC and worked for some time at the SC Archives managing the National Register. Like I said, I thought the stuff was pretty cool, but it was just family stuff, no big deal. My grandmother used to take it out and show it to us and tell us about sitting on Uncle Pink's (Major Pinckard Wood) knee when he had on his uniform for reunions. And she always told us he was the youngest Major in the Confederate army (as yet unproven). It didn't really hit me that I actually had personal access to something other people might be interested in or it would have been made public by now. You know when you are a researcher, you always have that dream that you are going to find something no one's ever seen before, it never occurred to me maybe I had. I know I'm babbling, I've just wanted this diary and the letters to mean more than gggrandpa's scribbling, but no one ever seemed interested. As for a copyright, like I said, no one has really known the papers existed until now. I can do a heck of a footnote for any kind of original document, but I know nothing about copyrights. As a historian, I want the information to be available as widely as possible. I would also like to be involved in how it is presented and I think family information on Capt. Wood would be useful to understanding his feelings and beliefs. This is not going to answer any big questions, but it is a record of a Confederate soldier's love of country, family, God, his comrades and his experiences while defending them. And I want the information, when used, to be properly credited. So again, please forgive my babbling -- it will take a little while to shift into historian mode. And thank you for showing an interest in gggrandpa's scribblings. Suzanne Pickens

Debra, I do not think you could put all of this on the site due to the copyright infringment. Rootsweb does say something about it. These lists only apply to Pike County soldiers that were in the units and is not a complete list for all of the men in the unit from all over the State.

I tried to send you an email sometime back but it evidently did not get to you. I would love to see a copy of the diary and might possibly undertake typing it up and getting my publisher to make it into a book. That would be Southern Historical Press in S.C. At that time you were interested in some of my books but as I say I never heard back from you. As for the lists that are being placed on this list. They are parts of one of the historical societies publications that they have for sale to the public. If anyone is interested I can get you in contact with them. They have many good publications for sale and they make the money to continue publishing records by the sales of these.

I have a copy of a Muster Roll for Co. E dated Nov. 6? 1861, containing many names not shown in Jan's roll. I have scanned it in three sections and will E-mail copies to all who want it. I don't know how it will come through, but we can try it and see. My own GG Grandfather Lamb Parker (with two sons and a nephew) are on it, so I know they were there. They are not listed on the Pike statue's name plates or in Jan's list. I would like to know where to find the diary you guys are talking about. Thanks.

We are researching the family of Fox(x) Henderson CATRETT(b. 1892, d. 1918) and wife Johnnie Bertha Marler. Think his parents were William Randolph Catrett and Dortha? Grandparents were Jesse H. Catrett and Mary Williamson. Would like to exchange information with anyone related to this line. Thanks. R Adams

Surnames I talking about: John Faulk s/o Richard Faulk Eliza (Somerset or Faulk or Indian chief's son) Millington L. Faulk "Millie" Robert H.Starling family

Trying to either prove or disprove who my ancestors were. This is the typical "Indian Princes" story. Everybody is always related to someone of rank or privilege (Chief!!) I have never seen anyone related to a simple 'dog-eating-redskin' 1: Was Eliza a man or woman? 3 of 4 census records record her/him as female and one census 1850 records as male. 2: Colin was Eliza's son, and he was killed in the W.O.N.A. ( War of Northern Aggression). Hopefully there should be CSA information indication who his father was? 3: Looking for grave or obit of John Faulk that died abt 1849-1850. Is there a Adah or Eliza in the cemetery? Dates? 4: Perhaps the John Faulk ancestors have something to add, deny, or confirm. Anybody got any documents to share? Chuck GA

The Alexander that died 9 - 3 - 1863 was born 12 - 15 - 1829 Al. m. 1 - 5 - 1862 Catherine Stewart Barbour Co. He was son of Malcolm. This according to Heritage Book submitted by Ethel Mae Jeffcoat Folmar of Goshen area Pike Co. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 12:24 PM Subject: [AL-PIKE] Alexander McLeod > The Alexander McLeod that died at Nashville ,was Malcolm McLeod son born > 1829 .I donnot think this Alexander was married to Catherine Stewart.In > 1870 > Barbour Co is that Catherine and Alexander McLeod.Did the Alexander McLeod > married befor he died in the civil war?He was in 1860 with his father > Malcolm. > > Debra Maddox Wilson > Greenback,Tn > > > ==== ALPIKE Mailing List ==== > Visit Pike Co.
