Hi! yes, I remembered that they both were in that battle. i still don't know if my g g grandfather, James f. Scott ( Mary Cox's brother ) had any part in it. he had enlisted as a susbtitute at abt age 47/48 with the 8th Fla but shortly after was confined to post hospital in Marianna with " disease of the carotid artery ' and finally discharged some 6 months later. Next time you think you might be in the Jacksonville area i'd still like to get you here to speak to my Sons of The Confederacy group about your book and the Battle at Marianna. I'm still the Commander of the group. By the way, i have begun, at long last, to write the history of my Scott family. I have amassed a huge amount of material, over the last 30 years, and still looking for more. Recently, the genealogy gods have smiled on me and have begun sending e mails and data from people i've never heard of or whom have finally responded years after first contacting them. The book will begin with its earliest incarnation , in the 1790's in Effingham / Screven Co., Ga, then down to Decatur County, Ga first arriving abt 1827, and into Jackson County by Dec 1842 if not in 1840/41. This history will cover all of the 12 known children of William Scott ( 1770-80 to abt 1834 ) and his first wife, Elizabeth Reives/Rives, there may have been a middle wife, but last wife, Bathsheba, bore his last child, Rhoda Ann in 1833. Bathsheba remarried in 1835 in Dec.Co. to a William Day, they all "disappear" in the 1840 census anywhere! but Sam Scott, J.F.s first born, my g Grandfather, was born Dec 5, '42 in J/Co. I'm believing now that Joe Cox's first wife, Mary Scott, was also born in Decatur Co. along with her brother Sherrod,( married half of Jackson and Holmes county, maybe Gadsden too ! ) sister Sarah ( married Ferdinand Weeks in J/Co ) Joe and his son Wm served the CSA as did James F., Sherrod, Sam, Ferdinand Weeks, Reuben Connor, Daniel Cloud who both married Rhoda. Sam Scott's wife, Nancy Dykes Burns, had Dykes men who served as did her first husband, Benjamin M. Burns, who died in the Civil War of Southern Independence of the Late Unpleasantness. Do you have any photos of your Cox family from Mary's days as Mrs Cox that i might include in my tome? Congratulations, again, on your books rising success. I have tried for the past two years to get a historical novel published dealing with 10-11 year old boys first realizing racial/cultural/religious prejudice in the mid-1950's and especially after confronting an aged survivor of the Holacaust in their neighborhood. So far, many agents and publishers tell me that" people aren't buying books much these days and besides, you are no Dan Brwon or J.K. Rowling ". No, but how about a reincarnation of Mark Twain? That wouldn't be so bad , would it ? I mentioned this to one would-be agent and she said, " Twain? Isn't he dead?! " Sheesh!

I mentioned this to one would-be agent and she said, " Twain? Isn't he dead?! " ****************************************************************** At least she knew who he was! I was asked a few years back to help come up with instructions re: Christmas decorations that were popular in the time of Dickenson. "Who?" I asked. "You know. You're an English teacher, aren't you?" replied the other teacher. "Charles Dickenson. He wrote A Christmas Carol." (For some reason the toolbox doesn't include an underline when I hit "return". Sorry!) So, at least give the woman points for knowing " Twain", who he was and what he did, even if she did question his physical state! My mother is from the River Junction area. Her grandfather, Andrew Augustus Collins, lived in Grand Ridge. How close is Marianna to those places?
