Mark: I too was interested in the yellow fever epidemics. I found a book or phamplet (sp.??) in the Mobile Library and copied by hand the info concerning my Edmondsons and McGills only. If I can find the copied notes, I'll try to get it to you. It stated that the yellow fever swept all thru the coastal areas of the Gulf and so many people died in some areas that there was no one alive to report deaths. And of course it was spread by mosquitoes. If found about 6 or 8 of my surnames in the list of people who died. However I didn't recognize any of my surnames listed. Some were listed as "infant of Mr. ----------", or "Mr. Edmondson" or "Mrs. McGill". I don't remember the name of the book (pamphlet, etc). It's been so long ago since I took those notes. It is possible that I found the book in the Florida State Library in Tallahassee. I did not research in Pensacola because at that time I did not know I had any relatives there.
