Hello, About a week agao, someone sent me an "AOL" address searching some of the same names I am. However since then I bought a new computer and changed my email. I can't find her. The worst thing is that we connected and shared the same lines...and she lives in California....HELP ME! Was it you Doris. I think it was. Searching in California Joe Joseph M. Garcia Northern California [email protected] http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/g/a/r/Joseph-M-Garcia/

Doris: I don't know you, but have seen some of your msgs here and there. And, I do admire you for your msgs. It's the "oldies" who are remembering names and sometimes days and SHARING them. And I think that's great!!!! Idalyn [email protected] not quite an "oldie" but getting there. ================================================= ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 10, 2000 9:48 AM Subject: Re: [FLESCAMB] John Alexander Dixon > I would like to point out that it is important to respond to the Fleshcamb > list in answering questions for people. > Lately , I have been responding privately because of not cluttering up the > board . > However I did ( in order to see if anyone else could help another erson ) > respond to the list about John A.

Frank..would U plese look and see if you have any WATSON's listed in the cemetery? pat

"John Penton born in Orange City, NY; died 27 Jul 1874 in Pensacola, aged 54 years. Marker was erected by Mrs. Nancy Fisher". This information was taken from page 82, (one page only of an unknown publication) with heading "St. Michael's Cemetery" at the top. I am looking for descendants of John Penton and Nancy Fisher. Thank you. Joyce

Hi Marilyn: I don't have Olivia Arbona in my tree anywhere. When was her husband born and who was his father, do you know by chance? I am related to Charles Leonard LeBaron from Honfleur France, and his son Charles L. LeBaron, and his son Joseph Murell LeBaron, then George Rohmer LeBaron, my grand-father. Thanks for the contact, if I can be of any help to you let me know. Carol

Yes, Joe, it was me , Doris. I am the mouthy one on the list ! Your cousin lives in California, her e-mail address is [email protected] she is coming to visit me next month, on her way to a family reunion. You might want to ask her about that. The reunion , that is. To everyone that responded to my letter>>>>Thank you ! I'm really not old, I've just been around for a while. I started drawing my SS last Jan, and it made me want to cry, until the checks started coming in, and I realized that I could stay home and do genealogy and not have to go to work LOL > Doris

Janet, I have a copy of the Santa Rosa Co. FL cemetery book and here is what I found. Holley Cemetery Double marker Frank Nelson b 9 Oct 1864 d 7 Sep 1933 Cicilla B. Nelson b. 2 Nov 1873 d 24 Dec 1964 Frankie Nelson b 28 Jan 1900 d 17 Dec 1900 There are more Nelson's listed. Let me know if you need anything else. Judi

Vanessa, Some of my information is different from yours and I am not saying you are wrong. I will give you what I have and maybe we can figure out what is correct. Here's what I have on Francis "Frank" Dixon b. 28 Feb 1822 Conecuh Co. AL d 3 Dec 1901 He was s/o John Dickson b. 1789 GA d 1856 Conecuh Co. AL and Martha "Patsy" Peavy b. abt 1784-1789 GA d 16 Aug 1874 Esc Co. AL. Escambia Co was cut from Conecuh Co in 1868 so they were still on the same land. Francis married Martha Ann Cobb on 7 Nov 1844 in Conecuh Co. AL She was b 2 Apr 1827 FL d bef 1883. I question your death date for her because Frank married Mary Jane Maine on 6 Jul 1883 Esc Co. AL. She had been married to Martha Ann Cobb's brother Stephen Riley Cobb. Frank's will was written 21 Jul 1900 and names her as executrix. Mary Jane married his brother Eli Augustus (my 2ggf) on 15 Nov 1906. I show Martha Ann Cobb's parents as Athal Seaborn Cobb and Martha McMellon. Frank and Martha's children were: Most of this information about the children came from my Uncle Abe's family Bible. 1. Sylvester K. b. 26 Sep 1847 2. Silverton M. b. 30 Jul 1850 (notice you show this as the death date for Sylvester) I believe you may be correct as what is left of the Bible is very hard to read and sometimes the deaths were listed separately from the births. My cousin thought that this was 2 different children but it looks like they could have been the same. 3. Florida A b. 25 Feb 1855 m on 19 Dec 1872 to Thomas Morrell. This is in the Bible. Where did you get the info that she married a Mims? 4. Frances Elizabeth b. 1859 m on 18 Feb 1874 to Francis Moody Dailey. She married her 1st cousin Wiley Benjamin Dixon (son of Eli Augustus) on 23 Dec 1880. This information is in the Bible. Please let me know what is correct in all of this. Nice meeting you, Judi

Would your Frank Nelson be any relation to Zacariah Nelson and Minerva Faulk Cathy [email protected] wrote: > i am looking for a FRANK NELSON, i know he is buried some were in Santa Rosa > County, any help would be great , [email protected] thank you > Janet > > *** JANET****

Evan: You offer to do a look-up on the St. Michaels Cemetery. I've been trying to find out where Santiago DAUPHIN is buried in hopes of some information. In the 1830 census of west Florida he lived by himself, and I think getting along in years. No family was shown. He had a son by the same name, another son and 2 daughters I think. His wife was surnamed Pichol. Thank you for being there.

i am looking for a FRANK NELSON, i know he is buried some were in Santa Rosa County, any help would be great , [email protected] thank you Janet *** JANET****

I would like to point out that it is important to respond to the Fleshcamb list in answering questions for people. Lately , I have been responding privately because of not cluttering up the board . However I did ( in order to see if anyone else could help another person ) respond to the list about John A. Dixon and it has generated a lot of e-mail. So if from time to time some of us oldies do ramble on, forgive us and keep reading, because somewhere in there is the answer to your question, or we will do our best to help you find it. Thanks, doris

Hi Richard, Well, I cannot say she isn't a daughter. I have put together a few names that I got from my husband's grandmother and have combined this with some stuff that I have found on the internet so I cannot guarantee complete accuracy but I will give you what I have. I am looking at my notes and I believe it is very likely that she is his daughter though because a Henry Albert Gates is buried right next to John Henry. Actually, the Whitmire Cemetery list that was posted on the Escambia County web site is part of how I was able to put my pieces together. This is what I have: John Henry Thomas b. 20 Nov. 1855 d. 18 May 1923 Son of William Henry Thomas and Rhodia Harper Married Tennessee Harper b. 10 June 1865 d. 19 Dec. 1914 Daughter of Joseph Malone Harper, Jr. and Roxy Ann Adkison Rhodia and Joseph Malone Harper were children of Joseph Malone Harper (who was born in Virginia and died in Coffee County Alabama) and Mariah Stephens. I know of the three sons but I do seem to remember grandma said there was a sister. If you want more on the sons or if you know anything about them, let me know. I got most of my Harper information from a very helpful site: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/h/a/r/Mary-S-Harper/ I hope this has helped some. I am so happy to finally be able to help someone else since so many wonderful people have helped me in my search. I would love to hear about Florence's family. Let me hear from You. Sincerely, Jenny C. Thomas

Would your Frances be the son of John and Martha (Peavy) Dixon/Dickson? They had 14 children: Claiborne, Abram (named for Martha's father), Berryman, Caroline (which is my line who married Joseph Jernigan), Susan, Chapell, *FRANCES, Jane (?), William, Virginia, Greene, John, Wade Hampton (who moved to Bastrop TX), and Augustus Eli. Do any of these names sound familiar? Don't know anymore beyond John and Martha Dixon...they came from GA originally and I am still trying to find them there...no luck so far.

Doris, Please don't go to any trouble looking at the Carroll family for me. I don't descend from them. I thought maybe what I had connected to your family. Thanks for taking the time to look for John Dixon. Judi

Hi Carol. I know there is a list because a good friend I met on the net had it and sent me all the McVoy stuff she could find in it. I don't know where she got it, but there is a list.

Jobs at the Navy bases may have been one reason. Yes, the base at Milton is NAVAL AIR STATION WHITING FIELD. It's mission is the training of Navy, Marine, Coast Guard, and Air Force aviators. Plus many international flight students from several different nations. Regards. John J.
