"Go, Noles?" Sue Ann, my dear, we Gators are ALWAYS happy to tell the "noles" where they can go! I've just returned from a foray into enemy territory, and while I was at the state archives I checked the photographic collection. Found montage photos of the members of the Florida House of Representatives for 1907 and 1909, with James Ernest Calkins in both. In 1907, lots of hair; 1909, less hair. Found him in similar pieces when Senate president-pro-tempore in 1915 (much less hair) and as member in 1921 (still less hair). Made paper copies; will send with obit next week if you want them. Archives can supply photographic copies if you want them after you see the paper copies. Who was J.E. Calkins to you, anyway? Have a shot at some brief bios and will be glad to get them if he's your ancestor rather than a collateral. Let me know if you're interested. (Same cost: help somebody else....)

I was wondering if anyone would know if Cummer Lumber Company still exists. If so where it might be based now. And if not, was it bought out, or did it go out of business?

Can someone please tell me if A. G. BROWARD d. 15 July 1922 is on the Florida Death Index. Need to confirm to order death record. Thanks for your help. Sharon Broward Davis

Thanks to all those who replied to my query about "REUNION" and gedcom. JDCash

These maps from 1824 to 1925 (including one for 1858) look like they answer your question. http://www.rootsweb.com/~flalachu/maps.htm Peggy -----Original Message----- From: Richard White <rwhite@pone.com> To: FLORIDA-L@rootsweb.com <FLORIDA-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, March 26, 1999 9:09 PM Subject: Re: New River Co FL (defunct) > >Betty Mae... > >If nobody on the list can help, I suggest a call to the State Library >reference librarian. > >RW > >BettyMaeS@aol.com wrote: >> >> New River Co., FL was created in 1858 from what county? >> >> Part of New River Co., FL went to Bradford Co., FL and part went to Baker Co., >> FL in 1861. >> >> We looked in the New Genealogical Helper and it did not show were New River >> came from. >> >> Thanks Betty >

Betty Mae... If nobody on the list can help, I suggest a call to the State Library reference librarian.

New River Co., FL was created in 1858 from what county? Part of New River Co., FL went to Bradford Co., FL and part went to Baker Co., FL in 1861. We looked in the New Genealogical Helper and it did not show were New River came from. Thanks Betty

HELP!!!!!!!!!! > Thank you for your help. > Winkie Robinson WinkieFL@aol.com Hi Winkie, I didn't see your original posting. Copied this from a reply. Could this be what you are looking for? I found a "MALLETS LANDI, GA." if so, it is located about 47 miles north to northwest of Jacksonville, Fla. On my Road Trip Planner it looks like it is just across the state line from Fla. Hope this helps. Ann

I found tax records of 1882 where the County was collecting taxes on 160 acres , but can not find a US land patent ever being issued on the property. (cash sale or homestead).. Were there other ways to obtain property here in FL? The land had been lived on by the family since the 1830's. Any insight into this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mrs. Callicott

I tried this URL also but I see that GeoCities was doing some maintenance after midnight this AM. I do not know if this is the problem or not. I suggest we try again later. Ed T of Pgh

Any one on the list use the program REUNION and if so can it handle gedcom files? Have a contact that has reunion but she doesn't know about gedcom and don't know if it is compatabile with gedcom. I sent her a gedcom file and she can't open it as a family file. Thanks JD CASH jdcash@hardee.4ez.com

Thanks for all the responses. Now I know that my GGgreat aunt buried in Homeland is very close to my GGgreat uncle in Bartow, FL. Perhaps there are more of the remaining 9 brothers and sisters in the area. Thanks. Bill willbees@mediaone.net

I have a Solomon Page buried at Bartow and a Mary M. (Page) Watson buried at Homeland. Does anyone have cemetery listings for Bartow or Homeland in Polk County. I only live a couple of hours away if I could narrow down the search, I'd like to visit. I have lost track of the other brothers and sisters of Solomon and Mary and they may very well be buried near them. Thanks. Bill willbees@mediaone.net

Or, more likely, they bought it directly from someone who had patented it. -----Original Message----- From: Kathleen/Robert G.
