I am researching Ann Gay, who applied for bounty land under the Act of Congress 1850. Her father, Thomas Gay (Jr?), served in the militia during the Florida Indian War. Where would I find copies of the petition and accompanying papers involved? I have one paper that I think might have come from this file, indicating that Ann Gay may have been the daughter of Thomas Gay, Jr., rather than Thomas Gay, Sr. as generally accepted. I would like to explore this further, but am not sure where to find those petition papers. Sue

Thank you Winn. I really appreciate what you said. What I meant when I said "depressed" city was that Chattahoochee has a lot of businessess on the main street closed and only a few remaining open. When you look at the pictures from the book that Mr. Turnage wrote many years ago, you will notice a thriving area. Now, it has many storefronts closed. That is what I meant. I do apologize for the misconceptions. I have since unsubscribed from this forum as I don't believe that I would get the necessary help when requested because of this incident. I hope that all of you continue on your search and wish you the best in your endeavors.

Just a reminder to everyone that today, September 27th, is the anniversary of the 1864 Battle of Marianna. The battle took place when 700 Union troops from Pensacola commanded by Brigadier General Alexander Asboth attacked Confederates at Marianna. The Southern forces consisted of men and boys from Jesse Norwood's Marianna Home Guard, Henry Robinson's Greenwood Club Cavalry, A.R. Godwin's Campbellton Cavalry, W.W.cPoe's Company C of the 1st Florida Reserves (Mounted) and Robert Chisolm's cavalry company from the Alabama State Militia (later Company I, 5th Florida Cavalry). Also present were some citizen volunteers, sick and wounded Confederates from the Marianna Post Hospital and a few men from George Robinson's East Jackson County Home Guard (most of his men, however, did not reach town in time for the fighting). The Union forces consisted of three battalions from the 2nd Maine Cavalry, one battalion from the 1st Florida U.S. Cavalry, around 75 picked men from the 82nd and 86th U.S. Colored Infantries and one man from the 7th Vermont Veteran Volunteers. Although the battle was a tactical Union victory, Northern officers wrote that it was one of the most intense fights they experienced in the war. Many participants later remembered Marianna as the sharpest engagement, for its size, they saw during the entire War Between the States. Eighteen men were either killed outright or died from their wounds, several dozen were wounded and 44 local citizens and 8 Union soldiers were captured as prisoners of war. More than 600 enslaved laborers from Jackson, Washington, Holmes and Walton Counties were liberated as a result of the battle and the economy and culture of Marianna and the region was forever changed. It is always good, even just once each year, to pause to remember the men of both sides who gave their lives on this date to help make our great country what it is today. For those with interest, the Jackson County Times newspaper will publish a special issue today looking back at the Battle of Marianna with numerous articles on the battle and its impact. And, as always, you can also visit my website at www.battleofmarianna.net to learn more. Best, Dale Cox

So many of us had families who "crossed the line" and ventured into Alabama, most especially Houston County. I found the following web site that might be helpful in researching some cemeteries of Houston County: _http://www.trackingyourroots.com/data/houston1.htm_ (http://www.trackingyourroots.com/data/houston1.htm) . These are arranged alphabetically by cemetery. To find a particular name on the page, with a PC, use the CTRL + F keys (<CTRL><F>), enter the surname and it will search your entire page. Happy hunting, Cindy ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

I'm not sure about this, but I think the Dothan Eagle is on microfilm at the Houston-Love Library. I used to go there and view the film, and even make prints of some stories I'd find. You're right, though. The Eagle used to keep the microfilm from long ago papers. At one point, when I worked in the newsroom, one of my jobs was to read the papers on microfilm and get newsy items for the 25-years ago "column" that ran on the editorial page. I don't know if the Eagle gave the library all of the microfilm or not. Good luck with your search.
