Randy, The Daniels or Daniel (often spelled without the "s" on the end) families were well-established in Jackson County at the time of the Civil War. A William Daniel, age 64, served as a member of Captain A.R. Godwin's Campbellton Cavalry during the Battle of Marianna and was captured in the fighting. He died from diarrhea at Elmira Prison, New York, on December 25, 1864, and is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery there. Another individual, Lawson Daniels (age 46), was a member of Company B, 15th Confederate Cavalry (formerly the "Marianna Dragoons") and was home with a few other members of his unit on "special duty" at the time of the Battle of Marianna. He was captured and died at Elmira, New York, on April 14, 1865. Stephen Daniel, an officer in the state militia, commanded troops from Jackson County during the Second Seminole War. He was a key officer in a series of attacks on refugee Creeks in nearby Walton County and commanded a militia post at Campbellton. Glen Nobles lists Josiah Daniel, Thomas N. Daniel, William H. Daniel, Jr., and Benjamin F. Daniell on his list of the original landowners of Jackson County. He may be able to provide you more information. The 1850 census lists a Franklin Daniel, age 29, as an overseer on the Walter J. Robinson Plantation. Josiah Daniel is shown on the same census as the head of a household near Campbellton that included his wife, Sarah (age 36), and children: Elizabeth (age 13), Elijah (10), Sarah (7), William (5), Frances (3) and Edward (2). Hopefully some of this will be of use to you. Best, Dale Cox www.exploresouthernhistory.com www.battleofmarianna.com If so, Randy Thaxton <sudyrand@theriver.com> wrote: Hello out there!

Many in south Georgia signed with Florida because it was the nearest to sign up, but, more often than not, they did so to serve with other family members. This occurred with a couple of mine. Also the info below states Gamble's Arty, became Dykes. Winnette Stinson ------------------------------- Gamble's Light Artillery http://extlab1.entnem.ufl.edu/olustee/gamble.html Finegan's artillery reserve consisted of the small, seventy-seven man battery of the Leon Light Artillery. The Leon Light Artillery, commanded by Captain Robert H. Gamble, was also known as Gamble's Battery and as the Florida Light Artillery. It numbered severty-seven enlisted men in addition to several officers at Olustee. The officers included: C.E Dyke as second Lieutenant and E.W. Gamble as third Lieutenant. At the Battle of Olustee, the whole battery, supported by the 64th Georgia, was sent to the front in advance of Finegan's command to bring on the fight as the armies approached each other. Lt. E.W. Gamble's, equally with Lt. Dyke's section, had hot work during the time the advanced force bore the brunt of the opening battle while the main force came up. Lt. Dyke's horse was shot, but bore Dyke through the fight and did not die for several days after. The battery consisting originally of six guns had been divided many months previous to the Battle of Olustee. 1st Lieutenant Villepigue was promoted and placed in command of the new battery, and Sergeants P. Houston (Captain Houston) and James May were elected first and second Lieutenants respectively. By this division Lieutenant Dyke became 1st Lieutenant and Lieutenant E.W. Gamble 2nd Lieutenant of the Captain R.H. Gamble's battery. During the battle the battery lost two men killed and five wounded. In addition, two horses were killed and seven wounded. "These accidents among the horses," Gamble wrote in his post-battle report, "threw several teams into confusion, during which two limbers were badly (damaged)." The stampeding horses and gun caissons injured two additional men from the battery. Owing to continued ill health, Captain Gamble was forced to resign immediately after the battle. In fact, arrangements for his doing so were all but completed prior to the battle. However, Captain Gamble would not leave his post, with a battle in sight, as he was not yet formally relieved. A month after the battle, the battery now known as Dyke's Battery, was ordered to Andersonville where it was stripped of its horses for the use of General Johnson's army. Earthworks were erected about Andersonville prison which were armed and manned by Dyke's Battery which remained under Dyke's command until the end of the war. In March 1865, it was at Camp Sumter, Georgia, guarding prisoners. It was included in the surrender on May 10, 1865. http://extlab1.entnem.ufl.edu/olustee/gamble.html

Best I know, the Dykes Co ws an artillery battery, commanded by Capt Charles Dyke, was in the battle of long pond, and was guarding Andersonville Prison at end of war. Might be wrong but never heard of the Dykes Company. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Dear Jackson County list members & friends: Can anyone help Ken Mitchell to answer some of these questions? Who was the commanding officer(s) for Dykes Company? I know we have seen several recent emails about the Dykes Cemetery in Jackson County, FL. Does anyone know if James H. Dupree is connected to the Dykes family by kinship? marriage? or just neighbors? Stan Peacock Author: _Ken Mitchell_ (mailto:kenrmitchell@bellsouth.net) (---.aby.bellsouth.net) Date: March 30th, 2007 9:15:44 AM EST I am a member of the Lee Guards Camp 1697 SCV in Leesburg, GA. I am looking for I information on James H. Dupree who is buried in Lee County, GA. Pension records indicate he was with Dykes Company Florida Light Artillery. His pension records indicate he enlisted in 1864. I believe that he was from Georgia and would like to know how he came to join a Florida unit. Can someone tell me where this unit was serving during 1864?

Right at the moment I don't have any time to research Nathaniel, but can tell you this. All Dykes that I know of are kin. They were in Bleckley County, GA. George Dykes came there from SC. One group left and went to NW FL. One group went over into W Barbour Co, AL and down into Dale County area. See the book on Washington County, FL history and it has a lot about the Dykes in Washington County. It includes the hanging of one, and the family that were killed by tornado. Their family are buried in the Green Head Community of that county. Some of them came back to Dale Co, AL. One of their descendants is Mr. Dykes who has gro store in the Ewell Community of Dale Co, E of Ozark on Hwy 27. Go to Dykes bulletin board on Ancestry.com as it has many messages there and might have what you are looking for. John A.

I recently began using ancestry.com and found the following obit, as listed in the Dothan Eagle, 10 October 1908: ========= Buried at Bulah [sic] Church The remains of Mr. Lud Turner, who died at his home in this city rather suddenly Thursday evening, was buried at Bulah church yesterday evening. Mr. Turner left a large family, but fortunately for them, he carried several thousand dollars life insurance for their benefit. =========== Ha! I guess the newspaper editor was ever the optimist, huh? Cindy ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
