That's great Gerald and Jim Holman @mindspring hit the nail on the head, with his reply to your problem, last night. Congratulations

Those big bisquits used to be called Cat Heads - big, thick and fluffy! The rock hard bisquits may have many causes, but among them is using city or treated water as a liquid, baking powder that is not fresh, and handling the dough too much. When kneeding the dough, fold it - never punch or squez (sp!) it. It should be light when it is cut and shaped. And it takes practice!!!!!

I am researching the BOISCLAIR family in Augusta, Richmond County, GA. A CORALLIE (CORALLY) BOISCLAIR married WILLIAM JONES born in VA , and lived in GA . Their daughter, MARY SUSANNAH JONES (1812-1860) married JAMES NAIRNE HARPER (1805-1892) on November 27, 1828. I think MARIA BOISCLAIR was the sister of Corallie Boisclair and the aunt of Marry Susannah Jones Harper. There might have been a PETER BOISCLAIR, too. Some of this Boisclair line ended up in Tallahatchie County, MS, with the Harper and STERN SIMMONS Family. Any information on the Boisclair line and Jones line would be most helpful, and greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Dorothy O'Neill (Djaneo@aol.com)

Can anyone tell me where were Fort Hawkins, and Camp Hope? Thanks.

>A far step if you ask me.Guess it was the cornmeal got people thinking about cornbread and eating ha ha< Us Southerners are never far from the subject of good eatin'. Just the mere mention of cornmel sets us to thinking of cornbread and what goes with it. Also had the same thoughts as Claudia on the Georgia icecream. <VBG> Wonder what some of our ancestors would think about us dusting cornmeal on their headstones? Have enjoyed this thread! Sharon

I'm a pure bred southerner who's marrying a yankee. I've had to teach him that beans and cornbread IS a meal.... Sharla in TX

Hey ya'll, The food talk has been fun. We all know how intense our genie research can be, not to mention tedious and "expensive". It's a nice diversion, when someone sees the humor in a message and a little levity is enjoyed by all. Even those who don't participate in the messages, at least, sit back in their chairs and relax, with a chuckle, and for a little while the intensity is gone and we can all then refocus our efforts, knowing that we are "among friends" who share the same avocation.

I'm partial to " Georgia Ice Cream " myself, and for you yankees that's better know as grits to you.

Rose, Sorry but the link for Montgomery County doesn't work.. She must have changed from AOL to something else. I wouldn't have asked on the list if it had been working. Thanks anyway, though. I appreciate your trying to help me. Nancy

Debbie, You can call Johnny Harris, in Savannah, and order sauce, by the case, that's what we do........

Yes, this is much more relaxing than having the list owner "chew us out" everytime we go off topic. Thankyou for the few moments of fun. If any of you have Beasley, Durst, English, Greer, Haynes, Hudson, Pate (and a few other lines) in your family, those are the surnames I am chasing. I have my direct lines, well, most of it....but I keep trying to locate some of those "aunts, uncles, and cousins". Most of the cousins were easy to find, they turned up as my g-g-g-g- grandparents or greatgrandparents! Although my search has primarily been in Greene and Oglethorpe counties, I discovered some in Jasper and Troupe counties. I am "heavy" into the Hudson and Greer lines, gobs of info......right now I am "revisiting" my English lines as I am my Beasley lines. Time frame: From the start, had the Beasley/Willingham line buying in Wilkes county late 1780's.......the Greers getting there around the same time (Washington county)...the Hudson (with stepfather, Seth Ward) arriving by 1800...the Haynes and English seem to have "came in together" in that same period. From research (and aide of others) have placed the Greers in the Washington/Greene county "change over", the Haynes, English, Beasley and Hudson in the Wilkes/Oglethorpe/Greene "change over". The Greer/Haynes ties all married each other, their children then married the cousins.......only to have the English married into Beasley then into Hudson, who had Beasley connections all along! [These families had been in VA. prior to moving into GA.] Then the BIG move, most of them (at least my direct lines and the related siblings/families) passed thru Alabama (some stayed a bit and then moved) into Mississippi where I found them as early as those thirteen counties were formed in 1833 thru the Dancing Rabbit Treaty. Some where already there (the Henry Greer family for one) when the State lines were drawn up. Have a great day, and God Bless, ear

Hey, All, I live in Alabama but don't forget those Georgia Vidalia onions to go with the cornbread, turnip greens, home-made pepper sauce & black-eyed peas! Gotta have my onions, especially those Georgia onions! Jane

I am researching STEVENS for a certain branch of the STEVENS family tree history: If you are related to: STEVENS: Wilkins Bohannon STEVENS b.1802, d.1873 Henrietta H. (Pound) STEVENS b.1823, d.1901 George W. STEVENS b.1859, d.1923 Cora L. (Mickle) STEVENS b.1859, d.1945 Merle Carey STEVENS b.1895, d.--?-- -----please contact me with any information or perhaps any questions you may want to ask me. Janice momo7@sover.net Georgia connections: Wilkins B. had come from Georgia to just over the state line into Alabama's Randolph Cty after having built mills along several rivers that led into Westpoint Lake. He had married Henrietta Hanson-Hill (Pound) in Georgia somewhere. She was born in Stanhope(?) Georgia. Merle C. Stevens worked in Macon, Georgia for many years, and may have had some other relatives there--I have yet to prove that. -------- tm/

You just struck a nerve with me. I live in Ft Lauderdale....I get my daughter , who lives in Valdosta, to bring me 10 bottles of Johnny Harris BBQ sauce every time she comes down. They don't sell it here. Of course, my hot pepper sauce, I make my self.
