After the war, Stephen ended up in Bedford Co., TN (1817 land grant) and applied for his Rev. War pension from Rutherford Co. My GGGrandfather, Elias H. Duboise received a land grant nearby to Stephen in 1826-7. By 1840, both families had moved into Alabama...Stephen to Franklin Co. and Elias H. to Jackson Co. The $64,000 question is: Where was Stephen between the end of the war and 1817? My theory is that he migrated from SC into GA and on to AL with other DuBose families...but I can find no primary evidence. Anyone else out there with information on Stephen?
Hello. I am a new subscriber to the list. My grandmother died in 1928 in Andrews, SC. On the bottom of her death certificate was the signature of a J.H. Dubose MD who was supposedly related to her. Does anyone know what this doctors whole name was? Thanks for your help! Tia Matthews MatthewsTV@aol.com
Hello Group, My brother has posted on his web site pictures that we found in a family album when our grandfather died. We do not know who the people are or from which branch of the family the album came. Our grandmother, Margaret (Maggie) Cole MORGAN DUBOSE died before our grandfather Charles Sidney DUBOSE, and the very old album was in his old trunk. Some of the photographs have Alabama photographers' names on the back, but you can see that when you look at the web site. We don't know if the pictures are predominently DUBOSE or MORGAN or even from a branch farther back such as SMITH or PITTS or NEVILLE or HAMPTON. Please help us by clicking on my web site at the bottom of my signature and then clicking on the "Family Album" link near the bottom. That will take you to the photographs on my brother's site. You can click on each photo to see a full screen picture of each one. Thanks for any help you can give.

Our thanks to Mr. Horace Fraser Rudisill of that commission for copies from the original book, and to subscriber John L. Andrews Jr. of Hartsville, SC, for supplying the reference. John Campbell & wife vs. The Executors of A. H. Thomas & others. It having been refered to the Commissioner to investigate the nature of the Compromise effected between the Complainants & the Executor of A. H. Thomas & to report whether the same be for the benefit of the infant parties interested in said Estate. The Commissioner submits the following Report: It appears that Wm Thomas having executed his will in the manner stated in the bill died in Autumn of 1820 having survived his only child Wm L. Thomas and leaving with the exception of some few Legacies all his large estate to his Grand children Wm B Thomas & Alexander H. Thomas in fee subject to the controul and management of his Executors for a limited time. The Estate of Wm Thomas consisted of valuable plantations situated in North Carolina, South Carolina and in the state of Maryland the value of which plantations has been estimated and agreed upon by the parties about two hundred & fifty slaves all of whom have been appraised of about one hundred & twenty thousand dollars in debts due at the time of the death of Wm Thomas including ready money which fell into the hands of his Executors & of the interest which has accumulated since the death of Wm Thomas & the proceeds arising from the sales of the crops and the Commissioner further reports that two only of the executors who were nominated in the will namely Benjamin Chairs & Pleasant H. May quallfied & undertook the management of the trust in South Carolina & North Carolina and that George W. Thomas was the only Executor who acted in the State of Maryland as is stated in the Bill. It appears that George W. Thomas has setled his accounts as Executor in the State of Maryland. It also appears that Pleasant H. May & Benjamin Cheairs have surrendered their trusts and declined acting as Executors and that all the real Estate & the slaves are in the possession of the representatives of A. H. & W. B. Thomas and the greater part of the Bonds a debts due the Estate also the proceeds of the crops of the Estate have been accounted for & settled by Pleasant H. May & Benjamin Cheairs with the representatives of A. H. Thomas & Wm. B. Thomas and the Commissioner further reports that Wm B. Thomas died intestate leaving the complainant Jane Campbell his widow & his brother A. H. Thomas his heirs at law and that his widow since the commencement of this suit has intermarried with John Campbell who has been made a party complainant with her by order of this Court. And the Commissioner further reports that Alexander H. Thomas died in the year of our Lord 1826 having executed his last will & testament in which Laurance Prince, Isaiah DuBose & Wm Law were nominated Executors who have qualified as such: & that by the said will after certain Legacies the rest & residue of his Estate was bequeathed by the said Alexander H. Thomas to the defendants the children of Laureance Prince & Isaiah DuBose as stated in the Bill and the Commissioner further reports that Laurance Prince & Isaiah Dubose the Executors of A. H. Thomas & Jane Campbell have received respectively from Pleasant H. May a large amount in Bonds and debts due the Estate of Wm Thomas amounting to aobut Eighty thousand dollars for which they respectively gave their receipts but which bonds & debts were afterwards thrown into common stock as a general fund of the Estate: and that said Prince & DuBose received about Eight thousand dollars from George W. Thomas & about forty thousand dollars from Benjamin Cheairs in Bonds & notes being the proceeds of the Crops about one half of wich sum delivered by Cheairs consisted of Bonds & receipts of A. H. Thomas & Wm. B. Thomas given for funds they had received of the Estate. And the Commissioner further reports that the complainants & the Executors of A. H. Thomas encountered great embaressment and difficulty in arriving at a correct & Equitable adjustment and settlement of the estate of Wm B. Thomas arising from the uncertainty as to the amount and security of the ballance yet due from Pleasant H. May executor of Wm. Thomas also in consequence of the property of the Estate of Wm. L. Thomas and of the property of each other by purchase & sale by the said Wm. B. & A. H. Thomas in the Lifetime of said Wm. B. Thomas and by the purchase of some of the property of Wm. L. Thomas by Alexander H. Thomas at Sheriffs Sale. It was also found impracticable to arrive at any certainty with regard to the situation of the Estate of Wm. L. Thomas the father & Clarissa Thomas the mother of said Alexander H. & Wm. B. Thomas so much so that after many ineffectual attempts to settle the Estate of Wm. B. Thomas upon mathematical principles a compromise between the parties was proposed and effected upon the basis contained in a contract entered into in the following words to wit.

Thomas upon mathematical principles a compromise between the parties was proposed and effected upon the basis contained in a contract entered into in the following words to wit.

Social Security Administration Guide to Freedom of Information Act Requests http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia.htm ---------- Background ---------- This guide explains how you can get information from the Social Security Administration (SSA) about the kinds of records we keep. Members of the public can get documents from Federal agencies based on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The FOIA was established to make the Federal government accountable to the public for its actions and prevents agencies from having secret policies. ------------------------- Records We Make Available ------------------------- Under FOIA, you can inspect and copy the following SSA records in any of our field offices or headquarters in Baltimore, or you can get them from the SSA FOIA Internet Home Page at Social Security Online: Policy statements and SSA manuals and instructions, Final opinions from adjudicating administrative cases, and An index of SSA's administrative staff manuals and instructions. The Internet address of Social Security Online is: http://www.ssa.gov You can also find information about SSA records under the Government Printing Office's (GPO) Government Information Locator System (GILS). GILS contains information on government records kept by Federal agencies, and is available electronically on the Internet at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/gils/gils.html --------------------- Making a FOIA Request --------------------- If you want to request a record which we don't publish or which we don't make available in one of our offices, give us a detailed description of the record(s) you want. You should give us as many details, such as names, dates, subject matter and location, if you know them. Not having a good description could delay our answer or prevent us from finding the records you want. We will ask you to revise your request if we need more information to find the record(s). It is easy to make a written FOIA request by mail. No form is needed. We have two locations where we process FOIA requests, depending on the type of request. Mark both the envelope and its contents: "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST " or "INFORMATON REQUEST." Don't include a return envelope. If you are requesting copies of applications for social security numbers (Form SS-5) for people who are deceased, address your request to: Social Security Administration Office of Central Records Operations FOIA Workgroup P.O. Box 17772 300 N. Greene Street Baltimore, Maryland 21290 Send all other FOIA requests to: Social Security Administration Office of Disclosure Policy, 3-A-6 Operations Building, 6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland, 21235 You can also write or give your written request to any Social Security field office. ------------------------------------ Records We Generally Cannot Disclose ------------------------------------ The FOIA does not require agencies to disclose all records. Some examples of records we may not disclose are: classified records, internal personnel rules, confidential by law, trade secrets or confidential financial information, personal information about living people, or records of investigations. ----------------- Fees and Payments ----------------- You may be required to pay a fee for the time we spend searching, reviewing, and copying records. We may charge a fee even if we are unable to locate or disclose any information or if we no longer have the record. SSA has two different fee schedules for requests for records: the FOIA fee schedule and a standard schedule based on average fee for frequently asked for documents. --------- FOIA Fees --------- The FOIA fee schedule has different provisions for different types of requesters. We will tell you what we will charge after looking at your request. Also, we let you know if your request will cost more than $250 before starting a search. The FOIA fees are based on the grade of the employee doing the work and the amount of time spent on the request, plus 10 cents per page for photocopying. The hourly fees for 1997 are: Grade Fee GS-1 through GS-8 $14 GS-9 through GS-14 $28 GS-15 and above $50 --------------------------------------------- Fee Schedule for Frequently Requested Records --------------------------------------------- Requests for records of Social Security number holders, claimants and wage earners are covered by a separate fee schedule. This fee schedule is based on the full cost of processing the request. We use an average fee for some frequently requested records: Social Security Number application search when you have the number - $7.00, Social Security Number application search when you don't have the number. In these cases we need identifying information (name, place and date of birth, father's full name, and mother's given and maiden names) to find the record - $16.50. Search for a claim file - $14 Photocopying material(s) - 10 cents per page plus postage. You can pay us by credit cards; we accept only Mastercard and Visa. We also accept checks or money orders payable to the Social Security Administration. --------------------------- How We Process Your Request --------------------------- Processing Categories --------------------- We try to handle your request within 20 days from the date we receive it. Sometimes it may take us longer depending on the difficulty of finding the record and how much other work we have. We process requests under a "first in" "first out" basis in three categories: 1. Simple requests where the receiving office has all the information it needs for the answer. These requests will take the least amount of time to process. 2. Requests where the receiving office needs more information from another SSA office(s). 3. Requests which require more information from another SSA or government office(s), and which may require additional decisions on releasing records from these offices. These requests take the longest to answer. Expedited Process ----------------- In addition to the above categories, we provide expedited handling when we find that there is a compelling need for the information. This is in cases when the request: 1. involves an imminent threat to a person's life or physical safety; or, 2. is made by a member of the media to obtain information that the public should know about urgently. The records would cover actual or alleged Federal Government activity. If you think that your request should be expedited, please explain your reasons fully in your request. Under this process, we decide within 10 days from the date of the request whether we will expedite it and notify you of our decision. Denials and Appeals ------------------- If we decide that we cannot disclose the records you seek in whole or in part, we can deny your request. In cases where we can provide some of the records, we will do so. In cases where we cannot disclose some or all of the records you requested, we will send you a written denial, explaining our reason(s) and your appeal rights, including going to the courts. Privacy Act Requests -------------------- If you are requesting your own record(s), we will process your request under the Privacy Act instead of under the FOIA. If you are requesting another person's records, you need the person's written consent to disclose them to you. In these cases, send your request, with the signed consent, to the manager of the Privacy Act System of Records, (if you have this information), your local Social Security office, or the Office of Disclosure Policy at the above address.
New York City Wills, 1771-1776 Even as colonists became increasingly belligerent toward Great Britain in the early 1770's, New York City remained one of the most important trading centers in North America. This database is a collection of will abstracts filed by city residents between 1771 and 1776. Revealing a wealth of information about the filing individual, records often include names of family members and witnesses. Originally published in the late 19th Century, this collection contains about 1600 records. To researchers of New Yorkers from the late 1700's, this can be a helpful source of information.

SOME EXPERIENCES AS A SOLDIER OF WAR by Henry James DuBose - 10 January 1869 I, Henry James DuBose, was born June 25, 1820, in Darlington, South Carolina, near Cypress Cross Roads, where I now live and have spent my entire life, except for the time I spent as a soldier in the Confederate War, which was nearly four years. In writing this I wish first, to relate some of the most impressive experiences of leaving home and family. It was the saddest experience of my life. My first wife had been dead just a few years and I had remarried a girl much younger than myself. We had one little child and another to arrive in a few months after my departure: also, leaving in her care were five step children (my children by the first wife). I was taking my oldest and only son, John, in service with me as he was of the draft age. My wife was only 23 years old, but had promised faithfully she would take care of the family, the home, the farms, and last but not least, herself, and be true to me. I returned nearly four years later, found everything far beyond my expectation, being a woman of good business ability, she had accumulated instead of feing like many othere, home gone and families scattered. Our greatest loss was when Sherman's raid passed through the country, destroying and burning everything they could; fortunately they, my family, heard this and buried everything possible. Now going back to the day I enlisted as a Soldier of the confederate War, I was 41 years old on June 25th 1861, enlisted January 14th 1862, Georgetown SC with J. F. A. Elliott as our Captain Company E, 21st Regiment, South Carolina Infantry. Others in the company with me and enlisting at the same time were my son John W. DuBose, my brother Sewell DuBose, Marion Large, Charlie and Alex Stuckey and George Scarborough. We were trained for service at a place called Lightwood Springs near Columbia SC. We were in training there about three months, then served on the coast of Beaufort Island until the second day of May 1862. The Norther Troops were encamped on Beaufort's Island. In the skirmishes very few lives were lost. On the 22d day of May 1862 we got orders to go to the Northern Army at Richmond, Va. A short while after landing, we went into hostilities. <A HREF="http://wymple.gs.net/~longstrt/census.html">Census-Central</A> The Comptroller of the Northern Army was General McClellan. The first real battle we engaged in was the Battle of Seven Pines. This battle took place along the Chickahominy River and was as complete a victory as the Southern Army ever had. We went 27 miles down the river until we were under the shelter of their gun boats that lay in the James River. At this time Maxey Gregg of Florence SC was our Brigadier General and was one of the bravest men I ever knew. I saw him later after he was killed and being carried on a stretcher off the battle field of Fredericksburg Va. I do not know how old General Gregg was at the time of his death but he looked young, not over 35 years old and was a handsome man. From that time the battles were too numerous for me to remember the dates. We fought in the following divisions, under Gen J. P. Hill, Gen Maxey Gregg and Abner Perrin. Up until this time none of our men had been wounded bad enough to leave the field; I mean the men that enlisted with me. At the Battle of Cold Harbor, we fought all afternoon until dark, when the battle ceased. We (the ones that were not wounded) were ordered to get stretchers and bring in the wounded and dead at the battle. It was one of the hottest afternoons I ever felt. It was awful to see and hear the cries and pleadings of the wounded, those that could talk and were begging for water. We held canteens of water to their lips, some could drink, others were so badly wounded they could not. We found one soldier with his teeth shot out and his jaw bone broken. He made us understand that he wanted water. We held the canteen to his lips and he drank all he wanted. We worked all night bringing in the wounded and dead. I was wounded in the Battle of Gettysburg, which lasted four days and nights. This was the most cruel of all battles. It was a slaughter pen; it did not seem like a person could have come out of this battle alive. The thick forest of junipers were hewn down by bullets like a field of grain and the men who had so bravely fought were lying scattered all over the battle field, some dead, some dying, some praying. I was shot thru my right arm above the elbow, the bone was shot into, my right arm and hand hung dangling. I tried to hold it as best I could with my left hand. I was finally picked up off the battle field. It was my own son John and Charlie Stuckey that came with the stretcher. "My God, My God", this is father, were the words that came from my son. I have heard them many, many times since that day. They carried me to a hospital where I lay for hours unattended. Finally, the doctor got around to me. My right arm was amputated just above the elbow. I suffered agony. I was in so much pain and with no medicine to help me bear the pain. I just put my trust in God, whom I had always loved and trusted. I was offered a glass of whiskey but refused it as I never drank the nasty stuff. God is my refuge and my strength, in Him will I put my trust. I closed my eyes and prayed to get well and return to my home and family. Alex Stuckey was slightly wounded. We were the only ones in our crowd to be hurt. I was sent home as soon as I was able to make the trip. On the 22d day of Oct 1864 when I got home, a happy day--reunited with my family, except John, who was still in service. On the 27th days of March 1865, John got home safe and well but tired. That was another happy event of my life. A short while after I got home a battle was fought at Cypress Cross Roads. Many were killed and wounded. We took a Union soldier into our home and cared for him till he was able to return to his home. His name was Wilkes. This document was given to my brother in law in Lamar SC last Fall. Mrs Annie DuBose furnished this document. Jean Stuckey

If WSOCK32.DLL is in use when the worm tries to modify it (i.e. a user is online), the worm adds a registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce=SKA.EXE The registry entry loads the worm the next time Windows start. Removing the worm manually: 1. delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.EXE 2. delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.DLL 3. replace WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL with WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.SKA 4. delete the downloaded file, usually named HAPPY99.EXE Safe Computing: This worm and other trojan-horse type programs demonstrate the need to practice safe computing. One should not execute any executable-file attachment (i.e. EXE, SHS, MS Word or MS Excel file) that comes from an email or a newsgroup article from an unknown or a untrusted source. Norton AntiVirus users can protect themselves from this worm by downloading the virus definitions updates released on Jan 28, 1999 or later either through LiveUpdate or from the following webpage: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html Write-up by: Raul K. Elnitiarta - January 28, 1999 ___________________ For more information regarding viruses see the following sites. http://www.mcafee.com/ http://www.symantec.com/avcenter http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/happy99.worm.html http://www.earthlink.net/daily/tuesday/macroviruses http://www.cyberramp.net/hoax.htm Unsolicited, unexplained attachments are unacceptable! "... you CAN get a virus by reading an attachment in an email message, such as an MS Word or Excel document, which is infected by a macro virus.

Hello, I'm new to this group. I'm looking for information on Benjamin Dubois, from Shawinigan Falls, Quebec. He supposedly was a sheriff, and died there around 1896. He was married to Olevine Martin, and they had 13 children, of whom one was named Romelus, who was born about 1871 in Shawinigan Falls. This information is taken from the memory of my mother-in-law. Any info on any of the people mentioned, or hints as to where I might find information would be greatly appreciated. John Wojcik jwojcik@mitre.org

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear encounters, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has issued the following advisory to hikers, hunters, and fishermen while in the field: It is strongly advised that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle grizzly bears that aren't expecting outdoorsmen to be walking in their habitat. It is also strongly advised that outdoorsmen carry non-lethal pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a grizzly. The Department of Natural Resources for Alaska states it is a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear poop. Black bear poop is smaller and contains lots of berries and many times squirrel fur. Grizzly bear poop is larger, has little bells in it and smells like pepper.
