Didn't everyone leave Pensacola during the Civil War? Maybe they left Santa Rosa too, and didn't rush back that fast. Sandra

I would like to thank the person who alerted us to the 1867 Santa Rosa census. I did not know that Florida conducted a census that year. I checked out the census and found on the list fewer of my relatives than I expected. I have had the same experience with the 1866 Alabama census, so I wasn't surprised. I don't know whether the census takers were just incompetent or lazy or if the people were in no mood to be cooperative. I did note that the total figures compiled in the 1867 census for Santa Rosa were 2,111 whites and 505 blacks. The 1860 Federal census for Santa Rosa showed 4,037 whites and 1,121 blacks. (I have reason to believe that the 1860 count left out some parts of the county, and that the county population in 1860 was probably somewhat higher than the figure given.) Even taking into account Civil War deaths and some dislocations, it looks to me like about half of the population in Santa Rosa County wasn't counted in the 1867 census. Duke Vickrey

I have to agree with you that they didn't find everyone on the 1867 Santa Rosa Census. My BOGHICH and GREEN (GREENE) families weren't on it either. Nancy Nauenburg

<PRE>From the Santa Rosa web site you can go to Escambia County's web site.

Hi, does anyone have a copy of the 1860 census for Santa Rosa Co Fl. and if so would you please look for a Baker, William and family. Thank you, Helen

Morning, does any one know if there is a list of those who were naturalized by living in this country in Fl.for 10 years or more? Maybe I should say how did they obtain naturalization/citizenship in the mid 1800s in Pensacola? Thank you for you help. Helen

Cora Baptist Church-located near Jay, take highway 89 outta Jay heading South, as I recall about 4 or 5 miles, at intersection of highways 89 and 197 turn right on 197 for two miles, church and cemetery on right. If I'm reading my map correctly. I suspect that's the cora community. ----- Original Message ----- From: dyj <dyj@webtv.net> To: <FLESCAMB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 10:15 PM Subject: Re: [FLESCAMB] Town of Cora in Santa Rosa County > > According to info I have come across, the town of Jay in Santa Rosa > County, FL was first named or called Pine Level.

According to info I have come across, the town of Jay in Santa Rosa County, FL was first named or called Pine Level. There were two post offices near there called Nora and Cora and these no longer exist. When a Post Office was established at PIne Level, supposedly it was named "Jay" for the first initial of a store owner there named J.T. Nowling. Mr. Nowling owned a store there and in 1902 became it's postmaster.

Sorry I failed to put any date in reference to this document. It was 1902. Regards, Betty

I just received homestead documents on my great grandfather John S. Nowling. I always referred to their residence as Jay, but in these documents it list an address of Cora, Santa Rosa Co, FL? Is anyone familiar with Cora? Any information would be of interest. His witnesses might be of interest and I'd be glad to share the "testimony of witness" for: R. L. Polk W. J. White other witnesses listed in the "notice for publication" were: William Polk W. S. Jones Regards, Betty Mitchell Busch

So does anyone have an idea of why our ancestors sailed around Fl to get to Pensacola? Is it easy or hard to sail around the tip of FL? Is it easy or hard to travel by land like they did every where else in this country? I don't mean through the Everglades, but as I recall it only is a few hours by car, it can't be that far. By the way, for fun yesterday I went on a horse drawn buggy ride, and are they slow! Today we would call it leisurely, of course, but it gave me a glimpse of what transportation was like in the old days! Sandra
