Just to let everyone know I'm back and still searching for ancesters of my grgrandfather William Lafayette EVATT b. Ga. Mid 1800s..he married my grgrandmother Louisa Braddock Freeman in Nassau Co., Fl. 12/24/1879. Also looking for descendants of his brother George W. EVATT (Uncle Watt). b. Ga. 1866. Among Watt's children are: Allie EVATT, George EVATT,Mabel EVATT, Bert or Herbert EVATT, Leila EVATT,Max or Maxwell EVATT, Edwin EVATT and maybe Cuthbert and Annie Maud EVATT, and Will EVATT. William L. also had a sister named Ola Lee EVATT who married Joseph Janes in Nassau Co., Fl. 01/26/1882. I have hit the old "brickwall" and am desperately trying to find out what Their father's name was and their mother Mary's maiden name. Thanks to anyone who might be able to help me with this. Ginny

Fifty-six Years On a Peg-Leg Enlisting in Company F, 47th., Georgia Regiment, Colonel Williams = commanding, Matthew Johnson had fought bravely and well until in the = battle of Chickamauga he lost a leg and was badly wounded in the other. = Like most veterans of the Civil war he is inclined to believe that the = boys were pretty well coddled up and babied in the last big war and = since. He has seen younsters who never smelled powder getting big = pensions for flat feet, and wonders a little how much they know about = real hardship. How would they have felt to come home maimed and = peniless to a little clearing many miles from a railroad in a county = where a cash dollar was a rarity. It is all in a life time he thinks, but that ripsnorting wolf roped two = ways and thirsty for the blood of his captors, and the panthers that = screamed at night around the little cabin that was his home, and the = deer and the turkey he killed with his first little old shot gun, these = are the things that he likes to remember nowadays when the blood is thin = and the limbs are feeble.

I think we should list the RS soldiers in our families as a rememberance. I will start with: John Anderson, , R.S., served 1776-1779, NC Line 2 & 5 regiments under Buncombe and Enloe, fought at Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth Lewis Sanders Noble, R.S. b. 1760 d. abt. 1855 fought at Brandywine Micajah Paulk, R.S., 1763-1847 John Sears, R.S., served 1777-78 with Capt. John Moore, NC Line I have just seen the "Patriot". In my opinion, it appears that Benjamin Martin was loosely based on a composite of Andrew Jackson and the The Swamp Fox--Marion Francis. D.

Claudia...the "Looking Back" is not a reference to a book. It is their version of putting in various things from Coweta's past. There is no reference to a Dorothy Brannan. I think there may be references to Kennedys...it would be in the indexes I posted (4 installments). Do you have them all? Only the last issue (Summer 1999) has an index by surnames. No Kennedys or Cannadys in any of the 1999 issues...sorry. Judy
