Don't y'all forget that there was a Union cavalry unit know as the First Cav. Many of the men were from current day Suwannee, Perry, Dixie etc. counties. Not promoting the Yankee army, just stating fact. Brad Brannan ====================== So true Brad, and sad to say that if not for a number of "my" ancestors that 2nd Florida Cavalry, US might'a been a mite weaker. ;-) My Brannan line runs like this: Thomas Brannen, Robert H. Brannan, Mercy Ann Brannan [Joe Burval lists her as Anna Mercy, but my Aunt Betty says it was Mercy Ann, and she might spank me if I go agin her, she helped raise me <VBG>] Mercy Ann married John Stafford Parker their son Robert Franklin Parker married Georgia Rosetta Tison their daughter Annie Elizabeth Parker was my mother's mother.
