Jim, There is a brief history online at this site: http://www.tarleton.edu/~kjones/csarmy.html Basically, you will find that the 15th Confederate Cavalry was formed for the most part from independent companies from Alabama and Florida and attached to the Confederate army defending Mobile. Colonel Henry Maury was the commanding officer for much of the regiment's career. One company from Jackson County, the "Marianna Dragoons," was part of the 15th. There is a book out on the 15th. It basically consists of a brief history of the regiment, along with summaries of the records of the men who served. You can learn more about it here: http://www.heritagebooks.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HBI&Product_Code=G3813 It is fairly expensive ($40 plus shipping), so if you need information about just a soldier or two, let me know and I'll be glad to look them up for you.

Dale, I do not know if Dr Butler is connected. My GGgrandfather Dr William Yarbrough and family is on the 1850 and 1860 Jackson Co census. They had a farm on the west shore of Lake Seminole. The family removed to Bainbridge Decatur Co GA per 1870 census. William's son married a Sarah D. born 1846/47 FL before the Sep 1870 census. I am trying to learn her maiden name which could be Butler. It also might have been a Sarah Jenkins. My Yarbrough's, Foote's, Abney's, Dillard's, Butler's are tied together from VA>NC>SC and I suspect in FL. There were many marriages between cousins. my gggg grandfather Moses Yarbrough's step daughter Behethland Moore married the Rev War Capt (later Gen) William Butler (1759 VA - 1821 SC). That is where I am at.

As a newcomer myself, I am so thankful for having contacts that live around or are descended from this area. Since I recently started my geneology search, I understand how important every last contact is....you never know what information someone has that can be shared! And, for me, it helps provide a real sense of family, since most of my relatives on my Dad's side are gone. So....Nina, please give it another chance...

Hi all! Both my grandparents (Ruby Messer...descended from Bryant and Marthe Messer) and Van ("Vannie") Kirkland (I think his grandfather/gr. Grandfather?) was Green Berry Kirkland)were originally from Dellwood area...they lived in Jacksonville for many years but are now buried back in Dellwood at the Baptist Church (along with my Dad - George Van Buren Kirkland - who died during Hurricane Katrina).I am unsure of some of this as I don't have my notes in front of me and have only been to Dellwood a couple of times in my life (I am now 56...yikes!) and I live in the Northern VA area. My aunt, Alice Kirkland Waters, has been active for many years in the cleanup of the Messer (Kirkland?) cemetery. I cant remember how I came upon this email list but am glad to have all this contact info....I am trying to do additional research and document ancestry on Messers and Kirklands.

All the buisness places there have long been closed and only a Post Office and resturant is still there,and now they have a small Library .It is depressing to see it as it is ,but I am very proud to be a A part of that place . I have lived in Central Fl since 1943 ,when we moved to Lake Wales from Jakin. we were farmers and had a hard time making a living . So my Dad moved us to Fla where there was plenty work in the citrus. But we have always gone back to our little Town as often as we could . The people from there are close and look out for each other . Some are retiring and moving back there . I too would love to do so ,but too many years behind me to change things now. I am glad we can joke about all the things we cant do anything about. We just need to stick together and help each other.
