Collier County, Florida - 1917-18 Civilian Draft Registration File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Raymond H. Banks, Rayhbanks@aol.com ========= BIRTH INFORMATION: RESIDENTS OF THIS COUNTY IN 1917-18 AND PERSONS WITH LINKS TO THIS COUNTY The information below was abstracted from by Raymond H. Banks from civilian registration cards completed in 1917-1918. All rights reserved. Some men do not have birth locations listed because they registered on the final draft registration day in 1918 when this information was not recorded. Almost 24 million men registered for the draft -- not always in the county of residence.

Please consult the original card to verify all information. ***SPECIAL NOTE*** In 1917-18 county boundaries in Florida were not the same as today. Then about 12 counties did not exist as we know them today. Lee Co. then contained Hendry and Collier Counties. I am not able to determine which draft registrant lived in which county as we know them today. The names Hendry and Collier will not appear anywhere in the files. They did not exist. On the other hand, I am able to isolate persons from outside the county who were born in or have relatives in a particular community (a) within today's Lee Co. & (b) within today's Hendry and Collier Counties. Consequently the following contents are found in the files shown: Lee contains (a) all persons who registered in Lee/Hendry/Collier Co. in 1917-18 plus (b) persons outside Lee/Hendry/Collier Co. who listed communities within today's Lee Co. Hendry and Collier contain (a) also all persons who registered in Lee/ Hendry/Collier Co. in 1917-18 plus (b) persons outside Lee/Hendry/Collier Co. who listed communities within today's Hendry/Collier Co. Consequently, searchers in the Lee, Hendry, and Collier files should be aware that the man who registered in "Lee Co." could have then lived in any of the three counties as we know them today and the residence cannot be separated out. *** 1ST COLUMN: NAME 2ND COLUMN: BIRTH DATE 3RD COLUMN: ETHNIC GROUP 4TH COLUMN: BIRTH LOCATION OR OTHER INFO (spelling unreliable) OTHER COLUMNS: LOCATION OF REGISTRATION ======== Dyess, Bert Cecil 8 Sep 1888 W Ft.

A - G Name Index to "Search For Yesterday" (A History of Levy County, Florida) File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Alvie L. Davidson, tracer@concentric.net This index is to a series of twenty pamphlets done infrequently by Mr. Gunnell who was sort of an unofficial historian for Levy County. The material included in the booklets, for the most part, were abstracts of information he found in the Levy County Courthouse records, such as marriage records, County Commission meetings minutes, and some court records. I indexed the book by names only. No place names, i.e. lakes, or buildings were included. A person's name would appear: Smith, James 10:2 which means Volume 10, Page 2. These pamphlets can be purchased individually or as a total of all 20 from McElroy's BarberShop in Chiefland, FL (515 N Main St, Chiefland, FL 32626-1105, 352-493-1326), which has taken on the responsibility of making them available to the public for Levy County.

1860 Slave Schedule. Winn Pr. LA Contributed by Greggory E. Davies. Winn Parish, Louisiana was created by legislative act in 1852, carved from portions of Natchitoches, Catahoula, and Rapides Parishes, therefore, the first census of Winn Parish was taken in 1860. Sadly, Schedule 2, Slave Inhabitants, enumerated in June and July, 1860, and taken by Rowell D. Wall, Assistant Marshal, lists no slave names. The name of the slaveowner, the number of slaves owned, the age, sex, color ("B" for black, "M" for mixed or mulatto), whether or not the slave was a "fugitive from the state", whether or not the slave was manumitted (freed), whether or not the slave had an infirmity (deaf, dumb, blind, insane, or idiotic) and the number of slave houses are listed on the schedule. Sadly, the names of the slaves are not listed. It is impossible to tell the address, or area, of the residence of the slaveowner, unless one is familiar with early Winn Parish homesteads, which could possibly be occupied today, or in recent years, by the slaveowner's descendants. Interestingly, there are many households with only one slave and hardly any at all with large numbers of slaves. Only two families owned more than 100 slaves and two more families owned more than sixty. This adds credence to he long held belief that Winn Parish was relatively poor in its infancy. Many will argue that to be the case today. The listings below are in the order they appear on the census schedule. Spelling has not been corrected.

The 1865 U. S. Direct Tax, Winn Parish, Louisiana Submitted by Greggory E. Davies gedavies@iamerica.net The following list is copied from the original tax list. It is not in alphabetical order. Those familiar with Winn Parish history or genealogy will notice that a high percentage of the names on this list are spelled incorrectly but they are listed as they appeared on the list. If knowledge relating to the particular taxpayer was known by the submitter, notation is made in the extreme right column. This list is of utmost importance to researchers concerned with Winn or Grant Parishes. First of all, Winn Parish courthouses burned c. 1868, c. 1885, and 1917. All records were lost in the first two fires, which were caused by arsonists, but most were saved in the 1917 fire, which was accidental, so most Winn parish records only go back to 1885. Secondly, much of current day Grant Parish was carved from a huge portion of southern Winn Parish following the War For Southern Independence, c. 1868, during the era of so-called "Reconstruction." Therefore, a large portion of those who would become Grant Parish residents are listed in the Winn Parish Tax List. Thirdly, this list serves as a "mid-1860s census", for lack of a better term, as it lists those who moved to, or obtained land in Winn Parish after the 1860 census, which was the first census of Winn Parish, established 1852. It is important to note here that the 1870 censuses of Winn and Grant Parishes were sketchy, due to several reasons. The borders were not necessarily understood by the census-takers, causing some residents of both parishes to be missed. This same area was somewhat of a "no man's land" as outlaw gangs and bad men, including the West & Kimbrel Clan, roamed the Harrisonburg Road, and many folks were sensible enough to avoid the area, probably including the census-takers. And, many folks simply did not want to be listed, or counted, for different reasons. Dr. John Milton Price, learned Professor of History at Northwestern State University and a native of Wattsville, Winn Parish, Louisiana, has done extensive Winn Parish research, as well as an abundance of research on many historical topics, much of which has been published. He wrote the introduction or foreword to a book concerning this "direct tax" which was apparently imposed on the people of the United States to pay for the "rebellion" of 1861. Dr. Price posed a very educated, interesting, and provocative question, and rightfully so; (how could) "...the U. S. government...waging war to save the Union and free the slaves and at the same time made the sale of slaves for tax payments a part of the tax structure?" Dr. Price's question, coupled with many known facts, begs several other questions. Did slavery cause the War Between the States? Why did Lincoln wait so late to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, and why did that proclamation free only those slaves held in areas of southern states occupied by the Union? Why did Lincoln allow slavery to continue in the "loyal" states? Why did so many black Americans, freedmen and slaves, alike, fight in the Confederate armies? Why did Confederate General Robert E. Lee free his slaves prior to the war, while Union General U. S. Grant or his family, did not free their slaves until the 13th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution forced him/them to? Many, many more questions have remained unanswered concerning this important period in our history. Winn Parish Amount Submitter's Notes Dyess, August 1.24 Dyess, G.

Extracted from the Sabine Index of February 28, 1996 (article was submitted by Pan Trammel of Texarkana, Texas) "Dyess name can be found for many generations in area" Dyess' name is one that can be found for many generation in the Sabine Parish area. The first time was around 1870 when Henry Dyess and his new wife Tabitha Elizabeth Mixon moved to the Sabine area after the War Between the States. Henry was born on March 10, 1838 in Newton County Mississippi. He married Tabitha on January 7, 1867 in Bienville Parish. Henry Dyess fought in the War Between the States along side five other brothers and he served as a 3rd Sergeant in the 9th Louisiana Infantry at Camp Moore in Monroe. He was injured at Malvern Hill, Virginia when a canon ball struck his head. He also received injuries to his leg which left him disabled for most of his adult life. A grand daughter of Henry Dyess recalled that Henry Dyess was among the men when Stonewall Jackson was brought injured into the camp at Chancellorsville. Henry told his granddaughter that on that day grown men wept. Henry, lost in that war, brothers, Ely Dyess, George Dyess and Thomas Dyess. After the War Between the States, Henry Dyess met and married Tabitha Mixon. Around 1870 he moved his wife and young family to Sabine Parrish, where many of his descendants can be found today. Many of Henry Dyess descendants are alive and still living in Sabine Parish. One of these descendants included Grover Cleveland Dyess (August 23, 1885- February 25, 1973) Grover Dyess was married to Allie Iona Oliff and several children and grandchildren are now living in the Many, Marthaville and Robeline area.

Thanks!!! kaite... ----- Subj: [GA] Macon, Georgia Library Date: 98-06-26 07:24:42 EDT From: mhopper664@sprintmail.com (Mary S. Hopper) To: GEORGIA-L@rootsweb.com I have just returned from a research trip into parts of Georgia. After leaving Hancock Co, GA., I was fortunate enough to stumble into the Washington Memorial Library in Macon, GA. GREAT PLACE TO RESEARCH. They have about the largest selection of microfilms on hand that I have seen outside of Salt Lake City. They have LOTS of books. And their staff is wonderful. Highly recommend at least a few days there. Believe the hours are Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; Saturday, 9:00-5:00 p.m.; and closed Sundays. The photocopy machine does not require money; you keep track of your photocopies and pay for all at the desk.

Good Morning... Since a lot of our people were in these areas, I thought some might be interested in the following posting that came from the Ga listing... Thanks!!! kaite... ==== Subj: [GA] South Georgia Resource Date: 98-06-26 02:00:36 EDT From: mnelson@earthlink.net (Michelle Nelson) Reply-to: mnelson@earthlink.net To: GEORGIA-L@rootsweb.com For those of you who have relatives in South Georgia/North Florida, here's a resource you might like to check out at your local Family History Center. The films are in Utah but you can order them from your local FHC. They are really wonderful! Some of the most interesting info gathered from word of mouth, newspapers, cemeteries etc. Fascinating reading. I found this in the "locality" microfiche, in the Georgia - Vital Records section. Jacksonville Branch Genealogical Library (Florida) Vital records card file for North Florida and South Georgia, 1895-1945. Salt Lake City. Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1977, 1980. Microfilm of records in the Jacksonville Branch Genealogical Library, Jacksonville Florida. Contains birth, death, and marriage records from newspapers and cemeteries. There are 17 films, they are listed alphabetically so it is really easy to pick your exact name and therefore not order more film than necessary. Enjoy!
