A few years ago, we had a meeting of those on this web site, in Marianna. Mr. Rhoulac, who is from Michigan, and was raised in Marianna, attended the meeting and spoke. He is African American, but had traced his family back to the same white family in Jackson County. If someone has that info with his address, maybe you can find him. He is a noted family researcher. ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.

I subscribe to the "Dothan Progress," a weekly paper, put out by the Eagle. I do it primarily for the Ashford portion and the historical articles by Larry Smith, who is the official Henry County Historian. Last week, he had an article about deserters from Confederate Army in this area. The article was primarily about Capt. Saunders, from Henry, who formed a company of southern, as well as northern, deserters, many of whom had come home on leave and never went back. He formed the First FL Norther Cav, that he said, took part in the raid on NW Fla and was involved in to foray into the Geneva area, prior to the raid. I am sure that you are aware of this, but was to save the article for you. Alas, my wife was unaware of my intention, and it went into the garbage. My wife of 46 years passed away in 2005, after an 18 mo battle from cancer. You may remember that she was from Malone. Her sister, LoSue had married Bob Hagler from Malone. I remarried and moved out to the Enon Community, just east of Cowarts. You may have known her bro-in-law in Marianna, as most everyone else did, Howard Odom, who is now retired. Howard had the vault and septic tank business there for years, and knows most everyone from Jackson County, probably including a few from Parramore. Maybe you should print some T-Shirts that say, "Long Live Parramore." I am really looking forward to the revised book, as my grandmother was a Dykes, born on the road from Bascom to Neels Landing, and her grandmother was an Oswald, who married a Simmons. She was kin to most of the people in Jackson County of that time. Her aunt married Horace Daffin, a crippled Civil War vet. Their children went to Millville and Youngstown, and were progenitors of the semi famed Bay County Sheriff of many years, "Doc Daffin." My deceased wife's gr gr grandfather was the King, whose will is on the Jackson County website. He came to that county early and established the large plantation in Greenwood; was the regimental wagon master during war, enlisted at age 48, as well as his son. It appears that he might have been killed in Battle of Atlanta. Just the other day, someone related to me the story of Gen Irwin, who was sent by Jackson to fight the Indians along the Jackson County line area, thus the name Irwin Creek. Don't know if that is true or not. The other day we established where Zoe School was located, just across state line. My gr grandfather, Calvin Dykes, taught school there after civil war. He had been in the Cav unit from Marianna. My grandmother said that he spent time in that unit, down around Pensacola. My grandmother attended that school, as well as the late, John McAnulty, of the Malone area, and for whom the road east of Malone was named. Mr McAnulty, who was the father of my deceased wife's stepfather, Willard McAnulty, told me that he attended school with my grandmother. He had helped to establish the Methodist Church in Malone, and was blind for several years, prior to his death in his 90's. He also told me that on the map, right at the state line, where it says, "McAnulty," that his uncle had a two story log trading post. Good to hear from you.

Kimberly, Good to find someone else working on this family. I'm afraid I do not have any information on Dave (or David) Summerlin. Marriage record from the Jackson Co. marriages: MUSGROVE Emily married SUMMERLIN Dave 8 Feb 1894 Jackson Co., Florida Emily A. Henderson married Larkin Musgrove first, in 1890. The first census report after she is married is in 1900. At that time, Musgrove is out of the picture, and so is Summerlin. She is living with her parents, and she was called Emily A. Henderson (widow), with Edgar Summerlyn listed as a grandson in the household. He is age 2. So, by 1900, there have been two husbands, but only one child that I know about. Sometime after this, she married Oscar Barron Barton. I found Emily on the1910 and 1920 census, married to Oscar B. Barton, living in Calhoun Co. Edgar Summerlin was living with this family on both census reports, as a step-son. Then, in 1930 I found Emily Barton, age 60, living with Kinchen Musgrove in Calhoun Co. She is listed again as "widow." However, in the same county there is an Oscar B. Barton living with a wife quite a bit younger. With four more children. I am thinking this is the same man, and he remarried. I knew that Oscar and Emily were not buried in the same cemetery, and that might help explain why. However, I do not know this for certain. I have nothing on David Summerlin that I know for sure. I found a David Summerlin on the 1870 census, age 5, living with E. Summerlin (female), and siblings John, Luke, and Joseph. In 1885, I found a David Summerline in Jackson Co. Head of household is "E Summerline" but it said male (Jackson Co. site). And there is a 17-year-old daughter who was not listed in 1870, so I do not know if it might be the same David. I did go back and look in 1860, and I found Joseph Summerlin in Washington Co., FL., wife Elizabeth, and sons named John and Luke, so that is probably the same family I found in 1870. Whether or not this is David, who married Emily (Henderson) I do not know. Do you have any other ideas? I do not have any documentation regarding his death, where he is buried, etc. The Spanish-American War was suggested as a possibility. Would enjoy working with you on this.

Hello Sue! I'm also interested in David Summerlin and Emily Musgrove of Jackson Co., FL. I'm trying to determine if David could be the youngest brother of my GGGGrandmother, Mary Jane Summerlin Syfrett. Unfortunately, I've had to rely almost solely on census records due to limited resources at my discretion at this time. Mary Jane's parents were Joseph J. Summerlin and Elizabeth Burke. Do you think that this could be the same Summerlin family? While tracking Joseph's family, I've also come across a listing for "D. Summerlin" in Baldwin Co., AL in the 1854 State Census. He apparently lived near Jos. at that time, and had 3 other members of his household. Any info on this family would be greatly appreciated.

"The Legacy: African American of Jackson County, Florida," (Heritage Publishing Consultants, Inc., December 2006), is part of an ongoing effort by African Americans of Jackson County to document and preserve the history of African American's role in settling and developing Jackson County. The 160-page, hard-bound book, with a comprehensive introduction and photographs, is a collection of family histories (with a surname index), and histories of churches, businesses, clubs and organizations. The first edition quickly sold out. A second edition will be published in the near future. "The Legacy" contains twenty-five reference to Bells and forty-three references to Whites. Roy L.

Jack said it, but maybe not in a way a person not familiar with the records-keeping in those days would completely understand. Marriage records in 1900 would still be one of many things mixed together, transcribed by a clerk by hand into court records books. Notions such as "case filing" and forms (and typewriters) were just beginning to come into existence... though in some cases courts went back in and typed older records. So, you wouldn't look specifically in the marriage license office at the courthouse, but rather in general court records. 2. Her first name appears to me to maybe be an interesting example of pronunciation practices in this area... like my 2-great grandmother being no doubt known as "Elizer" or "Lizer" though her name was Eliza, Eliza E. Butler. In those days you spoke to the clerk instead of filling out a form, so even the spelling in an official record may have an oral characteristic. In her case, the Gadsden County 1850 marriage record says Eliza, but it very well could have come out differently. Since you spell the name "Eldorader" yourself, that probably really was how it was spelled... but the name itself was probably the local pronunciation of "Eldorado".... (IMHO...

Deanna, I am not in a great hurry. If you are there within the next two or three weeks, yes, I would greatly appreciate it. Let me know, and I'll send you a check.

How fast do you need this? I am in Jackson Co. 2 or 3 times a month. I could copy it for you if you are not in a hurry.

When the index indicates a book and page number for this marriage record, do you think if I wrote to the county court house they would be able to find it? I was unable to determine what the charges at the courthouse were for copies of records. Does anyone know? By the way, various census records spell her name Elderado, Eldoraer, and Elderadr. The marriage index says Eldorader.

Jack said it, but maybe not in a way a person not familiar with the records-keeping in those days would completely understand. Marriage records in 1900 would still be one of many things mixed together, transcribed by a clerk by hand into court records books. Notions such as "case filing" and forms (and typewriters) were just beginning to come into existence... though in some cases courts went back in and typed older records. So, you wouldn't look specifically in the marriage license office at the courthouse, but rather in general court records. 2. Her first name appears to me to maybe be an interesting example of pronunciation practices in this area... like my 2-great grandmother being no doubt known as "Elizer" or "Lizer" though her name was Eliza, Eliza E. Butler. In those days you spoke to the clerk instead of filling out a form, so even the spelling in an official record may have an oral characteristic. In her case, the Gadsden County 1850 marriage record says Eliza, but it very well could have come out differently.
