I seem to have lost some of my notes (or at least seriously misfiled them), so I can't tell you for sure - but I would look at the Washington County Worthingtons - descendants of Greenwood Worthington.

Hello, I have had several inquiries recently about whether my book on the Battle of Marianna could be obtained in Jackson County. The title is "The West Florida War: A New Look at the 1864 Battle of Marianna" and it is available at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce offices on West Lafayette Street in Marianna. A portion of the profits are being donated to the chamber. Best, Dale Cox

Greetings, I have had a number of requests that I post a message on the list when my new book, "The Battle of Natural Bridge," was available. It is available. For those who might not be aware, the Battle of Natural Bridge was fought in March 1865 along the St. Marks River south of Tallahassee. The Confederate victory there left Tallahassee as the only Confederate capital east of the Mississippi not taken by Federal troops. A number of soldiers from Jackson County took part in the battle, along with men and boys from Gadsden, Leon, Madison, Jefferson, Franklin, etc. A number of men from the area also fought on the Union side, as did two full regiments of African American troops. The book retails for $25. Anyone who is interested in more information can email me. Best, Dale Cox

Greetings, Here are some basics for you. I'll be glad to provide more specifics if you would like. John Blount (Blunt), or Lafarka, was a half-blooded chief among the Upper Creeks of Central Alabama who fled to Florida following the close of the Creek War of 1813-1814. Reports at the time indicated that he lost heavily in livestock and property as a result of the war. Upon relocating to Florida (near the present site of Blountstown), he established a new village and became active with British forces along the Apalachicola River during the War of 1812. When the British withdrew from the region, he switched his allegiance to the United States. As a result of this, he suffered heavily at the hands of the Seminoles during the First Seminole War. He property was stolen, etc. He served as a guide for Andrew Jackson's 1818 invasion of Florida and was mentioned in Jackson's report of June 2, 1818, as "my faithfull Pilot, Blount... he knew the country, and rendered me important services as a guide, without him I could not have operated successfully, and have sent him to you & beg that he may be liberally rewarded for his attachment to the u states & faithfull services rendered, three of his clan accompanies him, who I also wish to receive the attention of the government. Blount ought to receive a pension, he has been stripped of all his property." Blount was subsequently paid around $2,000 by the government to cover his losses at the hands of the Seminoles. After the First Seminole War he developed extensive farms in the area surrounding his village and was a slave-holder. He was granted a reservation by treaty, but gave up his holdings and agreed to migrate to Texas during the early 1830s. His Uncle, Red Shoes, already lived on the Trinity River. Prior to departing, however, Blount's Reservation was raided by white slave stealers who beat the chief and carried away several of his slaves. His departure was also delayed because he refused to leave until a son of his was returned from a government school where he was being educated. He died shortly after arriving in Texas in 1834. Best, Dale Cox

Thank you to everyone who emailed me regarding my problem printing a book using FTM 7.0. I solved my problem. I have printed books in the past, but had forgotten one simple, but very important thing. When printing a book and printing on both sides of the paper, the print set up must be set for two-sided printing for each and every item in the book. I had not set it for two-sided printing for the Title Page! This threw the whole print job off. Some people asked me to tell them know how to print a book. After you get the book together (your FTM manual will tell you how to do this), here is how you print it: Click on the Item, then Edit, then file, then Print Set up, then Options, then Features, then Two-sided print. Remember that each and every item has to be set for two-sided printing. Of course, you need the printer that can do the two-sided printing. Liz

Can anyone help out on this one??? James James L.

I am attempting to print a book with FTM 7.0. I want to print on both sides of the paper, but I can only get it to print on one side. What am I doing wrong? Can someone help, please? If so, please email me privately at [email protected] Thanks! Liz

Regarding SULFNBK.EXE. I am so glad to see letters like Mr Slone's and I hope everyone visits the website he refers to. We should act responsibly and NEVER forward e-mail rumors without checking them out with good references. Here is another source that covers SULFNBK.EXE and many hoaxes. Be sure to look at the "Hot News" list. I found this page to be a fascinating study in human nature. http://vmyths.com/fas/fas1.cfm Happy New Year, and watch where you step, Jim Gray

This is probably a "virus hoax." I checked with this internet site: http://www.europe.f-secure.com/hoaxes/sulfnbk.shtml which says sulfnbk.exe is a Windows utility for backing up long file names. It *can* be attacked and replaced by viruses, however. According to the website, "Bottom line: if you get SULFNBK.EXE in an e-mail attachment, it's probably a virus. If you find it from your Windows directory, it's probably not." -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 7:55 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Fwd: virus info.....
