I am seeking additional information on my great-great grandfather William H. LOGAN. He was born Nov 15, 1822 in Richmond Co., GA. He married Abbie C. BULLOCK Jan 20, 1862 in Jackson Co., FL, daughter of George BULLOCK and Martha WOOD. I am looking to find who is parents were and if he had any brothers/sisters. William H. LOGAN is buried in the LOGAN Cemetery. He died Feb 9, 1908. He located to the State of FL in 1847. I have information on my family beginning with him. Laura Elliott

Hello Fellow Jackson/Washington Co researchers! Well.........today I had quite a find. I took a drive up to the library at Gainesville (University of Florida) and found they have many newspapers on microfilm; including those from Jackson and Washington Counties!! I don't have all the actual dates, but I believe for Jackson County it is from about 1932ish (sparse in the early years) to about 1997. I think that Chipley/Washington County is fairly consistent from about 1926ish. I've seen some of the early newspapers (circa 1930s and 1940s) from Jackson County and obits are rare. However, I hope to create a report on my own genealogy in date order for obits from those areas. If you are seeking something in particular I'll do my best to add your request to my own list. Please don't overload me, but I'll gladly take a couple with me when I go and see what I can find. Hope this helps everyone. Cindy

My gggrandfather Henry F. BOIT appears on muster rolls for the FL Seminole Indian Wars in 1836 and 1837. He is on p. 180 in the 1840 census for Washington Co. as being between 30-40, with 2 m. < 5 and 1 f. 15-20. In 1842 he signed a petition in Washington Co. which I have seen so I know he could write and I assume read. In the 1849 minutes of the West FL Baptist Assc. he is listed as a licensed but not yet ordained minister and is a delegate from New Hope Alabama Baptist Church with a mailing address of Millwood, FL which was just inside Jackson Co. very near the GA/AL/FL borders. During the 1850s he has a charge account at Neel's General Store at Neel's Landing, FL---same area. His son, Joseph H. Boit, buys land in that Northeast Corner of FL in 1857 and both Henry and Joseph buy land in Henry Co. AL in 1860, in the most southeast corner of AL. In the 1860 census Joseph H. and family are living in Henry Co. With him are an Eliza Boit age 18 b. FL and a Henry H. Boit age 10 b. AL. In 1864 Joseph's widow charges on Henry's account at Neel's Genral Store. I have not found Henry on any census other than the Washington Co. 1840 census. Does anyone have any brilliant ideas where I should look? And yes, I have searched under Boyt (It's spelled it that way sometimes), Boiet, Boytt, Boyett, Boyette, and Boyd. I would like to know his wife's name, where he was born, when he died, etc. Thanks. Julia

Hello Everyone!! Well... I've been busy again.. The A, B, E, F, G, I, and J marriages are all online. I'll keep at this until we get them all AND the bride marriages too. Please, bear with me. Thanks again. Cindy http://www.rootsweb.com/~flwashin/main.html

Thanks for the early look. You are doing a great job. Hope to be able to help soon. Have so information that I wish to add. I have a list of people buried in Orange Hill Cemetary and a monograph on the history of the Roulhacs in Jackson County. I have been looking for years for the marriage record for my parents: J Y Rolack and GeHazel Gibson, circa 1926. Unfortunately, the early look did not help! I am founder and president of the Gilmore Academy-Jackson County Training School Alumni Ass'n, Inc. We are in the process of creating a visual history of African Americans in Jackson County. If you know of anyone I should contact re photos, it would be greatly appreciated. Also I would like to contact a member of the Marianna Historical Society. Any leads? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

I have several lines that have major connections to Jackson County. The three listed above are the ones that I am working on right now, but the list will expand. For this posting, I will concentrate on the Butlers. My earliest confirmed location for my Butler line is in Jackson County in 1860. At that point, my ggg grandmother, Ann Butler (maiden name unknown) shows up on the census as 50 years old, with no husband present and with five sons still at home: John Butler b. 1841 in GA Job Butler b. 1844 in AL George A. b. abt 1845 in AL Henry, b. abt 1847 in GA Charles W. b. abt 1850 in GA On the 1860 census and on several censuses thereafter, John Butler (my great grandfather) reported that both Ann and his father were born in SC. I have unconfirmed information from a distant cousin that Ann's husband's name was William Butler, and that he was born in SC about 1810. He died, probably in GA sometime before 1860. He married Ann ??, also from SC, sometime before 1841. The family apparently lived in GA prior to 1841, moved to Alabama before 1844, and moved back to GA by 1850. John Butler, my great grandfather, married Mary Elizabeth Pippen in Calhoun County, FL at the end of the Civil War in May, 1865. They lived in Calhoun County for the next 20 years, but returned to Jackson County to Homestead a farm. He died there August 17, 1899. Mary and her children continued to prove the farm, and she received the Homestead Grant in 1905. I would very much appreciate hearing from anyone with information about his family. Jack Butler

Since you have subscribed to the Jackson/Washington Counties, FL, discussion list, YOU are the first to see some of the marriages for Jackson County for 1900-1973. I apologize for my delay, but there are over 20,000 marriage records!!!! I do have a little fine-tuning to the graphics, so please bear with me.

Anyone researching these surnames? Sheri Bartlett Gordon

I am researching Theophilus SUTTON born abt. 1774 in Pitt Co., NC. He moved his family to GA about 1800 and then to Jackson Co., FL, dying there abt. 1822-24.

I received this in another list and thought it interesting. -- OFFICIAL CHURCH PRESS RELEASE --= New Genealogy Databases on CD-ROM for Home Use Popularity of Genealogy Enhanced by Innovative Home Software Products September 28, 1998 =A0 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (September 28, 1998) -- Millions of family records dating back more than 450 years are being made available to the public today in two CD-ROM packages by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the world's foremost authority on genealogy. The North American Vital Records Index and the British Isles Vital Record= s Index contain church, civil and parish records from the United States, Canada and the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. "These new CDs may save families hundreds of hours of time and painstaking research," said Elder D. Todd Christofferson, executive direc= tor of the Church's Family History Department. "The process is as simple as typing in a name. But this is only the beginning of what's to come. The Church is aggressively working toward developing other products that will simpli= fy genealogical research, making it faster and easier to access needed information and trace family histories." The North American Vital Records Index lists nearly five million names taken from church and civil records and from other collections in t= he United States and Canada. The items in this seven-CD set focus on marriage records (6 discs) and also list some births and christenings (1 disc). The North American records indexed date from 1620 to1888. The index will be updated periodically as more information becomes available, adding millions of new names with each future volume. The British Vital Records Index contains nearly five million names from parish registers, civil registrations and other record collections i= n England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The records on the index span more than three centuries, from 1538 to 1888. The five CDs in this set concent= rate on birth and christening records (4 discs) and also list some marriages (= 1 disc). The amount of accessible data can vary greatly from parish to pari= sh. This vital records index will be an ongoing project which will also be updated periodically. "Nearly half of American families can trace part of their lineage to the British Isles," Christofferson said. "Our repository of records is the most comprehensive source available to help these families trace their roots, = not just to ancestors who arrived in America, but to their forebears in 16th century England." Genealogy is the third-most-popular hobby in the U.S. and the second-most-popular topic on the Internet. According to a Maritz Marketin= g Research study conducted for American Demographics Magazine, approximately 19 million people actively trace their lineage. Since 1978, thousands of Latter-day Saint volunteers and others have spen= t millions of hours carefully reading and examining microfilmed records. Th= e volunteers "extract" from these original records the most necessary and useful information, such as names, dates, places, and family relationship= s. The resulting data is then indexed, and in the case of the vital record indexes, automated into valuable resource files that improve ease of access and save time for family history devotees. The Family History Department expects to begin releasing the 1880 U.S. Census and the 1881 British Census in early 1999. This collection will to= tal more than 80 million names. Three other new software products were introduced in April of this year. They include: 1. Family History SourceGuide=99 =AD an automated research guide, developed by the experts at the world-famous Family History Library. 2. The 1851 British Census =AD an index to census records of Devon, Norfolk, and Warwick counties. 3.

Hi My name is Marie Wimberly and I am looking for information about Jesse Barfield and his wife Susanna (Anna) Hancock. I know very little about them but they did live in Washington County. I also would like to find out who their parents were. Thanks for any help. Marie Wimberly

I am trying to reach a contact on the CULBRETH family. I know there was a ZEB CULBRETH that lived in or around Marianna. I understand his funeral was held in Marianna and then he was buried in Gordon, AL. ZEB was born in 1870 in GA, but the family later moved to AL (Henry/Houston Co). He had 10 brothers and sisters. There was a sister, Elizabeth, who lived in Malone, I think, and she never married. A brother JACOB married NORA CULBRETH, and JONAH married JENNIE. They had a son Oscar, Author, and two daughters, Laura and Etta. I sure could use some help in making contact with someone that knows about this line.. I have lots of family history on ESTER LAURA (RILEY) the mother of these children. PR

I apologize for being a little off topic, but I thought I would share this one. How many do you recognize?? You Know You're Taking Genealogy Too Seriously If . . . 1. In order to put the 'final touches' on your genealogical research, you've asked all of your closest relatives to provide DNA samples. 2. You are the only person to show up at the cemetery research party with a shovel. 3. You were instrumental in having "non-genealogical use of the genealogy room copy machine" classified as a federal hate crime. 4. Your house leans slightly toward the side where your genealogical records are stored. 5. You decided to take a two-week break from genealogy, and the U. S. Postal Office immediately laid off 1,500 employees. 6. Out of respect for your best friend's unquestioned reputation for honesty and integrity, you are willing to turn off that noisy surveillance camera while she reviews your 57 genealogical research notebooks in your home. The armed security guard, however, will remain. 7. You plod merrily along "refining" your recently published family history, blissfully unaware that the number of errata pages now far exceeds the number of pages in your original publication. 8. During an ice storm and power outage, you ignore the pleas of your shivering spouse and place your last quilt around that 1886 photograph of dear Uncle George. 9. The most recent document in your "missing Ancestors" file is a 36-page contract between you and Johnson Billboard Advertising Company. 10. Ed McMahon, several TV cameras and an envelope from Publishers Clearing House arrive at your front door on Super Bowl Sunday, and the first thing you say is, "Are you related to the McMahons of Ohio?" 11. "A Loving Family" and "Financial Security" have moved up to second and third, respectively, on your list of life's goals, but still lag far behind "Owning My Own Microfilm Reader." 12. A magical genie appears and agrees to grant your any one wish, and you ask that the 1890 Census be restored. 13. Your accountant is searching for a way to write off your number one expense, genealogy research.

Just a friendly hello to everyone and to let you know our "latest". Within the next few days (whenever I can get it done) we will be adding the Jackson County 1900-1973 marriages. There are about 20,730ish of these and it will take about 200 (not quite) web pages. These will be in the same format as the 1848 to 1900 marriages and will be indexed by both groom and bride. <whew> Anyway, I wanted you "in on the secret". Thanks so much to everyone. I'll send you the url ASAP. Cindy listowner: FLJACKSO-L@rootsweb.com "test to Sky"
