I do have the book, as I was fortunate enough to find a copy on e-bay a couple of years ago. My g-g-g-grandfather was Jesse L Vogtand my g-g-g-grandmother was Ida Winston. They married were married in Hancock county,Ga on July 18, 1861. She became a step-mom to Albertus, John, Sydney, and Elizabeth. Jesse and ida had one child together, Jessie Lorena Vogt (my g-g-grandmother). Jesse was mortally wounded 08-23-1864 at a battle at Chestnut Ridge near Atlanta during the Civil War. According to Albertus's CSA pension application, Jesse was then sent by special train back to Mayfield,Ga and then to Sunnyside plantation 3 miles away. Jesse died the next night and was buried on 08-26-1864 at Mt Horeb cemetery. In the following article that I have included Albertus talks of his step-mother (Ida) and her sister. This is taken from a newspaper article, written by Albertus Vogt, and published in the Ocala Daily Banner, Wednesday, August 10, 1910. Albertus describes his early family life in Hancock County, Georgia, during the Civil War: "No man is more grateful in his remembrance to the faith of the colored people, kept as slaves to their owners' families in the days of our civil war troubles than am I. When my own good father, who lost his life in the fray, left our home for the front, on our plantation there was only my step-mother, a young and beautiful woman, and her sister, who was our governess, and myself and my three small brothers and two little sisters, and, with our many slaves, we lived there on a big cotton plantation, and ournegro quarters were in sight of the "big house", and both our white overseers were away in the army, and my step-mother's word and orders were the only law to all of those big, strong ne- groes, and she ruled them as any queen might rule her subjects, and there was never a word or act of strife and never one of them ran away, although the "Stoneman raiders" twice camped on our lawns and housed their officers in our home, and Sherman's army was for three whole days marching past and camping in our grounds. Only one negro girl, called Polly, left our quarters, and when Dr. Vogt, my good uncle, brought us to Florida, many of my father's old slaves came with us to Ocala and worked with myself in the fields, and my mother's head cook, "Mom Harriet", also came to Florida with us and cooked for us on the Dr. Vogt's plantation for many years, and I have not seen on earth nor in history such devotion as old "Mom Harriet" and Mom Betts", two negro sisters, gave to my mother's children and to my step-mother and my aunt, who both now live in Ocala, and whom you doubtless know, will tell you these lines are true. And if I may ever forget the debt of gratitude my sisters and myself and brothers owe to my father's slaves, I know the good God, who cares for all, will forget me, and I'll vainly call to Him for merciful remembrance. And I am teaching my children to cherish their father's grateful remembrance of his father's war-time slaves." So you see, that's why I am trying to search for Ida, hoping to find where she is buried. The last thing I have on her is a 1900 Marion county ,Fl census record, then the trail goes cold. I would have loved to know my Vogt family.... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

He married Ida M (Winston) Vogt (my g-g-g-grandmother) on Jan 11, 1866 in Hancock county, Ga. According to the 1880 census, they were living in Rockmart,Ga.along with his step daughter Jessie Lorena Vogt (my g-g-grandmother) and their son John W Evans.Then sometime after that they moved to Marion county,Fl. The last thing I have on him is a CSA pension application he filled out on 08-02-1909 when he lived in Candler,Fl. His CSA app is interesting, describing how he was wounded during the war. After that, I lost the trail. I would like to know when he & Ida died & where they are buried. Also, anything about his family, mom & dad, siblings,children, ect. would be nice to know, too. many thanks. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

On December 3, 1866, William B. POWELL married Martha DUNAWAY in Marion County, Florida. She had two children by a previous marriage, Florida b. 1861 and Mary b. 1859. He had three children by a previous marriage, Andrew W. b. 1854, Georgiana b. 1857, and Mary b. 1864. Searching for more information about this family. I can find no other POWELLs or DUNAWAYs in the 1860 census for Marion County, Florida. William POWELL paid taxes in Marion County, Florida in 1859 and 1861. In the 1870 census, this family was in Orange County, Florida. Martha DUNAWAY was my wifes ggrandmother. In years past, I have posted this family with little success. Im hoping that the passage of time may have unearthed more information. Any help would be much appreciated. Bob Lehto You live as long as you are remembered.
