From [email protected]: I recently visited Jackson County and purchased a book by a local author who wrote of the Civil War in Jackson County. (Lots of activity!) That same book can be purchased at the Library in Newport for around $20.00. It lists every soldier that enlisted in that county. I will be glad to look up your soldiers. Additionally, you can write to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Business Office - Memorial Building, 328 North Blvd., Richmond, VA 23220-4057, or call them at 804-355-1636. For a small charge you can receive photo copies of the original military records of your soldier or the pension file of the widow or living soldier of 1890's. This was very exciting for me to see the records of my ancestors on both sides. I am a Daughter of the Confederacy member. The cost to non-members is something like $20.00 but the ladies are very nice in answering your questions. Also, I had written to the National Archives and never got an answer on one them. There is a website: http://localhost:1234/HLPage?pg=http%3A%2F%2Fgo.webring.yahoo.com%2Fgo%3Frin g%3Dnatcemring%26id%3D25%26go&qt=confederate+cemeteries This probably won't connect you.....I'll try to send alone. Our generation needs to preserve our heritage......knowing that it has nothing to do with hatred or racism. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2000 8:09 PM Subject: [ARJACKSO] Alexander Britt > Hello List, > I have ancestors from Jackson Co. that I am anxious to find out more about. > I have a ggg-grandfather that lived there during the Civil War.
