In the 1860 and 1870 Jackson County census, Gasua, Rebecca C. and William JOHNSON live near SEXTON's. Has anyone researched the Johnson family? I'm wondering if Rebecca was a SEXTON. Sheila Money

Darleen, Richard, Frances and all, Yes, you do have to join the State Society (I think it is $25 a year for individual membership) but you can do that at the same time or just before you submit your application(s). There is a small fee for each ancestor submitted and for each certificate but this is explained on the Pioneers' web page. I was so excited at the last Annual Conference (November 9-10 in Orlando) when I learned that there were a couple of Leon County ancestors and a couple from Gadsden whose descendants got certificates that I got all stirred up ... It's like it's someone I know too!!! Neighbors and friends, and I'm not even from Tallahassee, but I've been in the records so much I feel like they're kinfolks <Smile>

The Florida State Genealogical Society recently issued over 100 new Pioneer Certificates at the annual meeting. If your ancestors were in Florida before statehood (1845) and you can prove your direct line descent from those person, they can be named a Florida Pioneer and you and your family members can qualify as Pioneer Descendants !! I am presently researching (and documenting) several family lines who were in Leon county back to the 1820's and 1830's for descendants who now live far away from Florida!! If you have family lines back to pre 1845 let me know and I can put you in touch with the State Pioneer Certificate folks to see what it takes ... and I can help you secure documentation from the State Archives to go with your application. And the Tallahassee Gen Soc hopes to have a Session on becoming a FlaPioneerDescendant at the March 15 2002 RESEARCH DAY IN THE ARCHIVES connected to the Seminar.

Jeff and all, Actually, none of the folks you mentioned are still employees of WTVY. The last of the ones on your list still to be employed by the station was Wayne Register, who worked in sales. He now manages the Comcast cable system in Dothan. Since we are on this topic, shortly after arriving in Dothan three years ago, I produced a documentary on the 45-year history of WTVY and its involvement in the development of Southeast Alabama, Northwest Florida and Southwest Georgia. It was, among other things, a wonderful trip down memory lane for those of us who grew up watching the station. A little bit of trivia, at the time they were constructed, the old WTVY studios in Webb, Alabama, were the largest local television studios in America. The reason? Professional wrestling. WTVY was the first station in America to regularly televise professional wrestling. In addition to the figures you mentioned, a rather unique fellow named "Hulk Hogan" also got his start there. Best, Dale Cox

You're right, I had forgotten about Jim and Jesse and the Virginia boys until you mentioned it, Winette. I also forgot about the subtle virtues of the Assassins. I had no idea they were still keeping it going, and I'm glad to hear it, Patty. Sad to say though, the present version must clearly not have the same sense of community that it had when we were kids. Back then, it seemed like everyone in SE Alabama and North Florida was watching that stuff. I particularly remember that it seemed like the streets of Graceville would completely empty when 'rasslin' was on. Mario Galinto would insult us locals, and then the intrepid Dick Dunn would step forward to defend the local honor. Fortunately, Dick rarely let us down. When we were kids, we would always fight over who would get to play Dick, and who would be Mario. It's interesting to think that Dothan was one of the few communities in the country that anticipated the billion dollar "Pro Wrestling" industry by thirty years. Someone on another list told me that John Gause, Gene Ragan, Miss Bonnie, Bob Howell, Art Creamer, Wayne Register, Wayne Perkins, Betty Gaut, and Barbara Gellerstedt are all still employees of WTVY. Man, those folks must be getting really old by now! But then, sad to say, so are we. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Strickland, Patty" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 7:32 AM Subject: RE: [FLJACKSO] Championship Wrestling > Jeff - Wrestling is there already.

All I know is Jim and Jessie were Blue Grass and I hated it at that time. I was madly in love with Elvis(1957) at the time and the Virginia Boys just could not cut the mustard if you know what I mean.
