It would be possible to get those early Esc. Co. FL marriage books scanned if Mr. Magaha would approve it. You might want to discuss this at the WFGS meeting Saturday and see if some folks would write letters or make phone calls to show enough interest in the project. Letters might be more effective. The archives has a scanner large enough to do it. If Mr. Magaha does it himself, it would be up to him to decide what to do with it. But, hopefully it would be made available to the society to put on our Genweb page. There is a computer at the archives especially for genealogists' use. Perhaps it could go on there. We could scan the books ourselves, but I do know of anyone in the group with a large enough machine. Ginny Deagan was concerned about the size of the files and not being able to open them, but I was told that the data could be broken down into smaller files and could be opened. Write or contact the following: Mr. Ernie L. Magaha, Clerk of Circuit Court 190 Governmental Center Pensacola, FL 32501 Mr. Landy Davis, Administrator of Archives - same address Cynthia Dean

We wanted to have this fellow for a speaker a couple of years ago, but he was in litigation and could not be reached. He seems to be back stronger than ever. http://www.youtube.com:80/user/GenealogyGuy

Dot is on a respirator in the Adult Critical Care unit at Sacred Heart, with lung and heart problems. Cynthia

These are reasonable priced considering what the correspondence course used to cost. http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/Courses/Course.cfm

Dot was taken to Sacred Heart overnight with breathing problems and is now in the critical care unit. Don't know what time, today, this message was written. It just came to me. Cynthia

Hi Judy, I just yesterday received the following e-mail from Jim Park. Apparently the John B. Gordon Chapter was in Muscogee, FL. Jerry Merritt The following information was taken from the 1914 application by Mattie Lee Bell, granddaughter of Daniel, to become a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy of John B. Gordon, Chapter No. 1088 located at Muscogee, FL Escambia County. Mattie Lee Bell, granddaughter of Daniel Wilkinson, applied for membership in the United Daughters of the Confederacy of John B. Gordon, Chapter No. 1088 located at Muscogee, FL Escambia County in 1914. She was recommended by H. S. Cooper U.C.V. and Eva G. Vaughn U.D.C. She was accepted for membership April 18, 1914. The committee members signing her application were, Katherine Lang Tompkins, Mrs. A. O. Merritt, Eva G. Vaughn, Nellie Mullins and Hattie Lu Trammell. Daniel served in the Confederate Army for three years and nine months. He entered the service of the Confederate States at the beginning of the war in Company D, Regiment 15th Confederate Calvary, as a private and advanced to the rank of sergeant. On April 9, 1865 he was at home on sick leave. He had been home approximately 3 months when the war ended. Lawson E Jolly wrote: > Does anyone have information about the John B.

Does anyone have information about the John B. Gordon Chapter, UDC? Per the 10/30/1910 issue of The Pensacola Journal, Muscogee Social News - "John B. Gordon chapter, U.D.C. held its first meeting since the summer activities with Miss Jean Patterson and Mrs. A.J. Johnson, Saturday afternoon. . . The next meeting will be with Mrs. J.W. Lang." (Bruce and Connie, I think I sent this to you a few years back.) "On the sick list this week were Mrs. Arthur Merritt and Mr. W.A. Mudge. We are glad to report them much improved." Judy Jolly

Hi Jerry, A very brief story about John and Martha Lowery Williams is on page 532 of Santa Rosa I. It does not mention a first wife. It simply begins with his marriage to Martha. It does give a few more items of information that might be helpful. Date of birth is specific, August 12, 1845. Date of death, February 19, 1931. Per the article, his full name was John Lafayette Williams. The submitter was Romi White of Milton. Romi's story pretty much follows the more extensive story of John Lafayette Williams found on page 220 of Pioneering in the Panhandle by William J. Wells. Per Mr. Wells, Theresa, their first child (March 8, 1880-January 19, 1955), married David Quinn Hurst. Maybe this helps some. The family seems to have been well researched and documented by so many of those who descend from the pioneers in south SRC. However, the first wife is not mentioned. Let me know if you need more on the children of John and Martha and who they married. I'll be happy to send it to you at your email address. Judy

Is anyone working this family or have any info on them. John L. Williams was born in Butler County, AL in 1846 and died in Santa Rosa County, FL in 1931. He had a first wife named Elizabeth before he married Martha Lowery in Santa Rosa County in 1879. I am looking for the maiden name of that first wife. Below are some particulars on John L. Williams. Jerry Merritt John L and Martha E. Lowery Williams children were: Frances J. born Nov 1885 Eliga E. born Sep 1887 Named after John’s father Martha E. born Nov 1889Named after John’s second wife John L. born Apr 1893 Named after John Ethel D. born Apr 1896 William H. born Feb 1900 Named after William Donaldson F-I-L?
