I would think the signed Oath would be in his military records in Washington DC or in some collection within the National Archives. Have you checked NARA? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

My g-grandfather was captured in Jackson Hospital in Richmond, VA April 3, 1865 and held in Libby Prison, Richmond, VA. He was released on oath at Newport News, VA. The only documentation I have on his signing the oath is from his application for a pension for service in the war. If they were captured, I suspect they had to sign an oath before they would let them go, meaning that the Loyalty Oath is a "Union" document. Not a clue if these were kept or who might have them. Let us know what you find out. Libby Rhonda Watson wrote: > I'm trying to find an oath of allegiance signed by my Great Grandfather William G Watson from Carroll county Ga.

Our John Palmer elusive: Believed to have been born around 1792 and is unclear as to where. No death date, but believe to have died after 1840. On a census, one time you will see born in GA, another will say born in SC or NC. Searched all three states including VA, posted on many boards and NOTHING. John Palmer believed to be married to Nancy unknown also believe to have been born in GA, SC, or NC. Could possibly have been married to Hannah or Ann or mother of John Palmer. John is thought to be in Georgia unknown county until about 1820. The only thing I do know is they were in Georgia until 1819 as in 1820 they turn up in WC, AL where migrated to Washington County, Alabama. 1830 WC AL census indicates ages of children could be accurate. All children were born in Georgia with exception of one. However, years of search has turned up nothing on this family other than the Alabama information. Children of John Palmer (not proven) Thomas Palmer born abt 1810 GA about m Elisabeth (nee unknown) b abt 1810 GA and was in Mississippi county unknown until 1860 census; then WC AL Two children born in MS, two in AL No info turned up in MS Christopher Palmer 1847 MS Martin Palmer 1857 AL Elisabeth Palmer 1851 MS Angelina Palmer 1858 AL Lominia Palmer b abt 1810 GA m Joseph Conn 1854 WC AL - have not found on a census Mary Palmer b abt 1811 GA m Merriman Joiner 12/16/1830; Joiner m in 1840 to Rachel Jones b MS (Mary believed to be deceased at that time) Budley Palmer b abt 1813 GA No indication of having been married Ann Margery Palmer b abt 1815 GA m Fredrick Koen b AL m 02/19/1834 and have 8 children all bn AL William Washington Palmer b 1819 GA m Mary Elizabeth Koen 01/06/1845 WC AL with 10 children Louisa C Palmer b abt 1832 AL m Solomon Cribbs 02/17/1860 in Perry County, AL No info other than marriage date This family ties in with Grimes/Palmer/Smith/Thompson/Knight/Koen/Blount/Granade/Atchison/Dumas/Goldman /Beach/Beech/Mixon/Moseley/Everett/Buckaloo/Buckalew/ Loper/Phillips/PLUS MANY MORE. Could sure use some help with the prior GA or other state info. This family has to tie in with some Palmers' somewhere!! William Washington Palmer and Ann Margery Palmer well documented by family members, however, no documentation on others in this family that is proven. Have some info that can tie in. Location of death cannot be determined on anyone other than William and Ann Margery from this family. No birth/death certificates available. Any help appreciated.

The last couple of days, we have had several people trying to find people that have posted messages to the Brickwall pages at GA Unknown County, Floyd County, Haralson County and Polk County, GA AHGP web sites. Some of the messages were posted in 2002 and the people have either got a new e-mail address or no longer interested in genealogy. PLEASE, If you have posted a message to any web site or message board and have a new e-mail address, let the webmaster or message board know the new e-mail. There could be someone out there looking for you that has information to break down your brickwall. Doris Robbins elantr@earthlink.net Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I have found my Alabama Oath of Allegiance, but since all Southern men had to sign, I wondered if anyone knew where to find those for Georgia. My brickwall is a gg grandfather Jackson Allen Jones, who died after 1871 and before 1880. I thought he might have signed this oath and I could possibly find his location after the war.

Libby - thank you so much for your suggestions - I was not even aware that there were "Books of Register" Thanks again - Dot
Neither was I. The title was handwritten in the front of the ledger so I'm not sure if this was a standard "title" or if it varied from county to county. It did look like a lot of the names were for 1870, so I'm guessing there might have been some kind of deadline for people to take the oath and this was a one-last-chance. Also, I have it in my mind that if the person was in active duty at the end of the war and if his unit was captured when the war ended they made him sign the oath before they would let him go - for what that's worth. (One of my other g-g-fathers was in Richmond, Va at the end of the war and he had to sign the oath there before they would release him. That little bit of trivia was in his application for a pension after the war.) I do know that the relative I found in this Book of Register had been discharged in 1862 as being too old to serve, so I'm assuming he then went home and wasn't in service when the war ended. Don't know if any of this helps you or not, but good luck.

Hi RoseMary, below is the text of a Confederate Oath of Allegiance for an Alabama soldier. I've found three and the wording is a little different for each. Does anyone know if it varied from state to state? Seems as though they should all be the same, doesn't it? Nancy Oath of Allegiance for Confederate Soldier, Jeptha Edwards, of Alabama: "United States of America, I, Jeptha Edwards of the County of DeKalb, Ala., do solemnly swear, in presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Union of the States thereunder; and that I will, in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves; So help me God. Jeptha Edwards. Subscribed and sworn before me, at Fort Delaware, this 19th day of June, A.D. 1865. Geo. H. Ahl, Capt. & A.A.G."

This doesn't help you directly, but it might give you some ideas. The Alachua County (North Florida) County Clerk of the Court just this week put on line a "Book of Register, 1868 - 1870" listing names of those who had taken the Loyalty Oath. Once you took the Loyalty Oath (written in the front of the book) your name was added to the list. It's about 100 pages. See: http://www.clerk-alachua-fl.org/Archive/AncientJ/FrontPage.cfm?BID=898 It did include my great-great-grandfather who lived in North Florida - or extreme south Georgia - over the years in that "odd section" of land that was claimed at various sides by the two states until the state line was finally settled. Perhaps the Clerk of the Court in the county you are looking for also has a "Book of Register."
