Alice Chauvin Bradshaw, I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful things you contribute to this list. I haven't been a member here for a great length of time, but I've noticed you spend a lot of your time passing along great web site locations to share with the list. I for one truly appreciate it and simply wanted to say "Thank You" for taking the time to share with all of us.

I'm not sure about the HOLDEMAN line. I am not really a YORK researcher but a Naul researcher. Edna NAUL YORK was my great aunt, a sister to my grandmother Lela NAUL. I would like to ask about the HIGH family from Rusk County. I'm not a direct descendent here either but Texana HIGH married my great grandfather's brother Jim NAUL and they farmed around Henderson, Texas. My mom spent some memorable Summers on the farm and I would like to fill in some information on her Aunt Tex. Texanna HIGH was born in 1868 and died in Rusk County on 25 Aug 1955. She married James Martin NAUL 8 Dec 1901 in Rusk County. Children were Edgar, Howard and Vernon NAUL. Kerry Girolamo

According to my dictionary, n. a consort is someone,usually a wife or husband, of a ruling king or queen. v. to spend much time; associate [She consorts with snobs.] Like you I've found this word used, I would think it means the same as spouse Casey

To the list. My post listing all the CLIFTONs that I have found so far in the East Texas area relating into my research did not make the list. I have posted it twice. There must be a problem somewhere. Anyway, if you would like a copy, just let me know and I'll be glad to post it to you. It's long, about 5 pages. That shouldn't have been a problem for the list though, I have found that it will hold 7 to 8 pages on one email.

ENJOY!!!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CONFEDERATE CAJUN SOLDIER Back during the War for Southern Independence, a Cajun, who had fought for the Confederate States of America in the South's greatest western victory at Chickamauga, Georgia, had been captured in a battle subsequent to that battle. He was imprisoned in Illinois and forced on work detail. All day long, at the top of his lungs, he keep repeating: "Man, I'm gonna told you yankees, we really kicked ya'll's butts down in Chickamauga! If we had more supplies, we'd run ya'll all the way back where ya'll came from." The Camp Commander told his Sergeant to pass a message to this CAJUN to shut his mouth. The next day, there was the Cajun on work detail again: "Man, I'm gonna told you yankee boys, we really tore ya'll up down there in Chickamauga! If we had a few more men, we'd-a run ya'll all the way up to Acadie!" The Camp Commander ordered his men to bring the Cajun to his headquarters. They did so. The yankee Commander asked the Cajun, "don't you realize you're losing the war?" The Cajun replied, "I don't know 'bout dat, but I know dis, down there in Chickamauga, we kicked ya'll's butts." The yankee Commander offered the Cajun, "If you just keep your mouth shut, we'll make you a sergeant in the union army, and give you a pretty, new uniform, and you won't have to be on work detail anymore. In fact, we'll make you the sergeant of the guard, and you'll run the work detail." The Cajun replied, I'd sooner quit eatin' crawfish den be a traitor. He returned to his work detail, and there he went again: "Man, I'm gonna told you yankee boys, we kick ya'll's butts so bad down in Chickamauga, if we had a little more amunition, we'd-a run ya'll off the continent." The Camp Commander ordered the Cajun to his HQ again. "Okay", the yankee Commander began, "you're crushing morale in camp. You have to stop". The Cajun replied, "I don't gonna do it". The yankee Commander said, "Okay, I'll make you sergeant of the guard...AND give you $10,000". The Cajun said, "$10,000"; Okay, you got a deal". The Cajun was delivered $10,000 cash and a new yankee uniform. The next day, the Cajun brought the Confederate prisoners out on work detail. He was standing around with his yankee privates and said, "Ya'll see dem Confederates, they surely kicked our butts down in Chickamauga!" ================================== AND THIS TOO! me =========== "It is a Revered thing To see an ancient Castle not in decay But how much more it is To behold an ancient family Which has stood against the waves And the weathers of time" Author: FRANCIS BACON PASS A GOOD TIME CHER <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Boudreauxs in the sauce factory There was a factory in Eunice that produced the world's best cajun sauce. The factory was owned by a Yankee entrepreneur, but it employed a dozen local boys, all related,brothers, cousins, uncles, all of them Boudreauxs. Well, one day the owner came in and saw Claude Boudreaux standing on a chair with both arms arched above his head. He was hollering "I'm a lightbulb, me! I'm a lightbulb, me!" The owner was furious, but he calmly said, "Get off that chair and get back to work or you're fired." Claude didn't miss a beat, arms arched over his head started hollering again, "I'm a lightbulb, me! I'm a lightbulb, me!" So the owner had no choice. "Okay, Claude," he sighed, "you're fired." Claude got down from the chair, picked up his lunch box and started heading out the door. The other 11 Boudreauxs grabbed their lunch boxes and started to follow him. "Wait," the owner said to them, "I only fired HIM! I didn't fire the rest of you." But one Boudreaux turned around and said to the owner, "Well, Beb, we gotta quit. Can't be workin witout dat light, no!" ~Acadian Flag~ "To commemorate the 200th anniversary (1965) of the Acadian exile into Louisiana and to remind us of other important influences on Acadians. Dean Thomas J. Arceneaux of USL, a native of Carencro, designed the Acadian Flag.    Exiled in 1755 from their native homeland, the Acadians arrived in Louisiana under Spanish rule. Because the Acadians prospered under Spanish rule, a portion of the flag bears the golden arms of Castile, a prosperous European Spanish kingdom, on a red field.    The second third of the Acadian flag was designed to symbolize the French heritage. The three-petaled (silver on a blue field) fleurs de lis, (flowers of the Iris lily), was taken from the amorial emblem of the kings of France.    The last third of the Acadian flag, a white field superimposed by a golden star, has a dual meaning to the Acadians. When the first settlers departed France for the new world, the Virgin Mary was highly venerated; a period of great devotion to the Virgin. The King of France, Louis XIII, and the Pope, Pius XI, had declared the Virgin Mary the patroness of the kingdom, (Patronne de Royaume), and Patroness Saint of all the Acadians in Canada, Louisiana and elsewhere. According to history, on the eve of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, August 15, important family groups arrived in America. Therefore, the gold star and the white field have deep religious significance, and was designed to reflect back to Acadians earliest beginnings.    The gold star on the Acadian flag symbolizes early Acadian patriotism in the new world. The exiled Acadians arrived in Louisiana around the same time the American colonist were struggling to gain their independence from the British crown. When the war began, the Spanish king sent word to Benardo do Galves, Governor-General of Louisiana, to help the new colonist "harass" the British by assembling a "motley band" of 600 Cajuns, blacks, mulattoes, etc. Vividly remembering what the British had done during the expulsion, they succeeded in capturing Fort Bute at Manchac, Fort Baton Rouge, Fort Charlotte at Mobile and Pensacola.    The golden star not only has religious connotations, but reflects Cajun patriotism as well. Because the Cajuns were citizens of Spain at the time of the American Revolution, their star could not appear on the first American flag. This star on the Acadians flag now serves as a reminder of the Cajun's participation in the American Revolution and of Louisiana's contribution to the beginning of a new nation."
