Vickie, Have you tried the Bladen Co NC website? The genealogical society just published their Heritage Book. It's at the library here in town. It's great, and I might buy it myself. Elizabethtown is the county seat. I want to go back but it's over a hundred miles through backroads. I looked for my listing of their books for sale. I'll look again. The one on the Dixons is not for sale. It's a local family history and you know what that means. I don't recall the title of the book, that's the problem. I was looking for my Ellis line, and the Dixons intermarried with my Cobb line from Augusta, GA pre-1800. Do you live in Pensacola? If so, there's a woman in the WFGS who researches the Dixons. Ginnie Deagan is in that organization and might know her. We moved here 6 years ago when our Pensacola Depot closed, and I've lost contact. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2000 8:34 AM Subject: Re: [FLESCAMB] John Alexander Dixon > If you could give me the title or titles, I would appreciate it.

Deborah, I haven't tried the the county's website. Do you know it off-hand? I live in Kansas City MO, so I will try writing NC and see what I find. Do you have any idea who wrote the book so when I write, I will have some information. I assume it is at the local library there in NC? Vickie

Lee, I may be able to answer that-----at the risk of sounding pessimistic, I dont think so. There may be some good reasons for that. I asked that question some years ago, and others have asked it since. The have said that it gives aggressive business folks an increased opportunity to "lean" on the relatives of the dead, by knowing who in the cemetery has a headstone, but NOT a death date. That doesnt make much sense when said that way---- In other words, when a person dies, and a headstone is in place, the spouse often puts his there, too. Now it puts him in a position of having "pre-need" arrangements, and he might fall prey to pests (of the two-legged kind) who want to take advantage of the pre-need arrangement. Additionally, it is a private company, and therefore, private property, unlike many cemeteries. They have a right to say NO, and the have said it to me and others! For whatever reasons. I respect that, even tho there was a time I would have loved that challenge! On the other hand, they are readily available (business hours) to find someone for you, I understand, and they have apparently gotten it all on computer themselves. So, if you are looking for someone, just call them. Matter of fact, call them to ask about having a survey done. That might be interesting, then we could see if someone would get it started!! ;=) How 'bout it, Ginny? ;=)) Has anyone in an official capacity asked lately? Donna? Their number is (850) 432-7805; 3351 Scenic Hwy, Pensacola, FL. OK, Lee? Evan R.

Archdiocese Of Mobile PO Box 1966 Mobile, AL 36633 *I received this reply on Feb 23. Just found the paper again--sorry for the delay: Requesting Baptismal and Burial Records-- "The fee, as set by the Archbishop is $7.50 an hour, for research and $5.00 per copy of sacramental records." "At a quick glance at our Baptismal Books, I found five (5) entries of baptisms for children of Diego and Frausine Bosarge (MCVOY)born between 1807 and 1821. In the 1841-1846 there are three (3) MCAVOY and sixteen(16) Burn/Byrne/Byrnes. If you could give some particulars to narrow the list it would be helpful. The address for St.Michael's Church is: 19 N.

I have added some new cemeteries to the Escambia County GenWeb page recently, thanks to files provided by Evan Strohl, I am now putting inscriptions that contain genealogical information with the burials. Hopefully, someday I can re-do the ones that are already online and add the inscriptions to them.

Re: ARCHIVES AT JEFFERSON MEDICAL SCHOOL 1800's March 16, 2000 **REPLY from archivist at Jefferson Medical College in Phila about DR.DIEGO MCVOY,JR. of Spring Hill, Mobile,AL: "...Regarding your e-mail requesting information on your ancestor, Diego McVoy, our records show he attended Jefferson Medical College during the 1850-1851 session. His entry in the student register stated he was from Mobile, Alabama; he registered for the second level of coursework; and that he attended “Washington Univ. Md 1849-1850.” I also checked a couple of secondary sources (The Directory of Deceased American Physicians and Holloway’s Medical Obituaries through 1907) but neither contained an entry Dr. McVoy. I also checked the other names you mentioned but none graduated from or even attended Jefferson...."

I have not been able to check there for her. No one in the family seems to know when or where she died. She may be buried in an unmarked site but I hope there is some record of when she died. Another clue is that she was born in Brewton (Escambia co. ) and that is where her first marriage took place there to F. A. Majors in the year 1880. Susan and her 2nd husband William were married there in Brewton three years later. Susan was born in 1865 and her father's name was Joshua Hammac. Please let me know if there is any information you may need to find this person's death record. I would be forever grateful if you even tried to look. Thank you!!!!!

Hello guy and slater; I too am looking for info on P'cola being a shipping port. I know that around the early 1900's Pate Stevadore company was formed.

Hi, Can anyone hear me? Where can I find information about the Spanish in Florida during the late 1700's and early 1800's? Were there any Spanish censuses taken during that time? Are there any Spanish records in the Catholic church? Are there any Spanish cemeteries? Was Pensacola a shipping port? If it was, are there any shipping records? Thanks, Guy Sitler [email protected]

I don't know. You'd have to write the library gen section. They keep their books locked.

I am trying to find out which cemeteries would have been extant in the 1880's in Pensacola. I have an Ellen Thomas who died in 1882. I have checked St. Michael's and St. John's on G street with no luck. What other cemeteries would be candidates for burial at that time? Can anyone else suggest any other sources that I may search to find info on burial permits, cemeteries, etc. during this time? Any help is appreciated. Regards, Mary Ellen
