Trying to locate where information about Mayport area and Lighthouse would be located? Was Mayport a separate entity to warrent a city directory of its own in the late 1920's and early 1930's? If so where would this directory be located? In regards to the Mayport Lighthouse, where would records be housed that show who may have been a Lighthouse keeper? My mother-in-law was part Minorcan, from the Segui family and we note some Lighthouse keepers here in St. Augustine but am researching other areas. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Judy from St. Augustine

hi judy - mayport was, then as now, a fishing village. if it had a separate directory the jacksonville public library would probably have one. some excellent sites (i did a search through google for "Mayport lighthouse") turned up for the mayport lighthouse. they are: http://www.cr.nps.gov/maritime/light/st.john.htm http://www.bansemer.com/fl-lighthouses/mayport_lighthouse.htm http://www.bansemer.com/fl-lighthouses/st_johns_lighthouse.htm http://www.us-lighthouses.org/stjohn.htm http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/070597/b1Lighth.html http://www.dca.state.fl.us/ffcm/FCMP/waterfronts/community/mayport.htm www.floridalighthouses.org - there is also an email address for this group as well as a mailing address with the name of their contact: Andy Liliskis, President Mayport Lighthouse Assn, inc.

My ancestors were keepers of the Mayport Lighthouse. John Vincent Daniels (1822-1879) and his wife, Josephine Garcia (1840-1897) were my gggrandparents and were listed as keepers of the Mayport Lighthouse (see http://users.erols.com/lthouse/sjlt.htm). John Daniels is reported to have put out the light at the request of the CSA in attempt to thwart the Federal Navy's entrance into the St. John's River during the Civil War. Josephine was of Minorcan ancestory and was born in St. Augustine. Her father, Jose Garcia, was killed by Indians while carrying the mail. Her mother was Panchita (Frances) Pons, who later married Estaban Arnau. They are buried in the old Mayport Cemetery.
