Hi, Can Anyone tell me when the SS Death index began. I used it to get info on my grandfather But he died in 1967. For instance if a person died in 1900, would they be in there? Also would a woman who didnt work be in the SS Death Index?

Question for Eugene Helms concerning the riverboats docking at Jefferson, TX..... While reviewing the list of riverboats passing thru Jefferson, TX prior to and during the Civil War, did you come across the name of the sternwheller, "Morgan Nelson" (description of the boat is provided below), whose master was Capt. Robert Withers? More importantly, can you provide me with the name and address of the folks in Jefferson that have this manuscript which you reviewed and can it be browsed by others? Capt. Withers and his partner, Augustus Levan Witherington (my gr gr granduncle) were owners of the "Morgan Nelson" (c. 1860-1865) which plied the waters of the Ouachita and Saline from Camden, ARK down to New Orleans. However, the following letter would indicate that the "Morgan Nelson" was involved in transporting foodstuffs to/from Monroe and Alexandria to Camden, Arkansas at the close of the war. The family lore of Uncle Gus Witherington's escapades with the "Morgan Nelson" during the WBTS leads me to believe that they were pretty active transporters of supplies, munitions and personnel in and around Camden during the war. Thanks for any help, Eugene!!! Bill King, Houston, TX (281) 493-6767. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Morgan Nelson: Sternwheel, packet, wooden hull, built at Middletown, Pa. 1859. 109 tons. 120' x 21'.8" x 4'.4". She appeared at New Orleans Jan. 24, 1861, owned by Josiah and James Dillon of Wheeling, Va., with Capt. Joseph Richardson, also of Wheeling, in charge. She had seven changes of ownership at New Orleans 1861-1868, when dismantled. 'Morgan Nelson, CSA Marine Service' Bill - found mentioned in a letter to General Buckner from General E. Kirby Smith. Will "snail mail" the letter to you but will transcribe verbatim below. I think this letter answers the question as to the role of the Morgan Stanley in the Civil War and why I could not find Withers, Witherington, nor Finch in the Civil War books. Headquarters Trans-Mississippi Department. Chuck ********* Shreveport, February 27, 1865. To: Lieut. Gen. S. B. Buckner,CSA Commanding District of West Louisiana: GENERAL: Major Buckner's communication from Monroe of 21st February with your indorsement is just received. The steamer Barkman was burned in the Bartholomew. The Fletcher and Morgan Nelson have by telegraph to Camden been ordered to Monroe, where they will be at the disposition of Major Buckner for the purpose of procuring corn. The Ouachita country above the Louisiana line is absolutely stripped of forage. To maintain that line the garrison at Camden is compelled to supply itself from the lower Ouachita and its tributaries. It is of vital importance for the protection of Northern Louisiana, as well as the planting interests in the Red River Valley, in the District of Arkansas, that Camden should be held by us. General Magruder estimates that 30,000 bushels of corn will meet his necessities and enable him to maintain the line of the Ouachita until the coming crop can be gathered. The boats will at the disposal of your officers, and I wish you would instruct them to use dispatch and energy in securing and removing the corn from the Boeuf. What is not needed for the District of Arkansas and your cavalry on the Ouachita can be transported up Little River to within sixteen miles of Alexandria, and be made available for the troops in the lower portion of your district. As the wants of the garrison at Camden are pressing, I wish the first load of the Fletcher sent to that point. You can afterward, as your necessities will allow, increase the amount of corn sent to Camden to 30,000 or even 50,000 bushels. The boats will remain under your control, and General Magruder instructed that he can depend upon your officers forwarding to Camden the corn necessary for the support of that garrison. Respectfully, your obedient servant, E. Kirby Smith, General, CSA Bill, the set of books I researched looking for any sign that Withers,Witherington, and/or Finch were in the Confederate Navy were: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion. Published under the direction of: The Hon. Curtis D. Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy, by Dudley W. Knox, Captain, U. S. Navy, Retired Officer in Charge, Office of Naval Records and Library by authority of an Act of Congress approved July 31, 1894.

Mark, It is true that some cemeteries in New Orleans are too dangerous for one to visit ALONE! My great-grandfather is buried in St. Vincent De Paul Cemetery in New Orleans. Since I cannot obtain a birth record on him due to a fire in the N.O. City Hall, I contacted the cemetery office. I was told that they had a minor fire which destroyed a few pages of their records, and his was one pf the pages. When I said that I would just have to visit the cemetery and take a picture of the headstone, I was told not to do that "unless I was bringing a S.W.A.T. Team." I understand that there are othe cemeteries that are equally dangerous there. And I live in easy driving distance of New Orleans. I know others who want to visit the final resting place of one or more ancestors.

Passing along this interesting info for the folks on the northwestern border of LA. Joyce +++++++++++++++++ Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 From: Josephine Lindsay Bass <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Gateway to Texas From: "Eugene W. Helms" <[email protected]> A few of you were interested the last time I posted about Texas steamboat port of entry at Jefferson. I have just returned from our annual cousins' reunion at Jefferson, and learned a few new things. I had been most interested in obtaining a copy of the rumored book by Jacques Bagur on the history of navigation on the Big Cypress Bayou and Red River. Unfortunately, the book has not yet been published, but I was able to briefly examine the manuscript at the office of the Cypress Valley Association. When published, it will be a very valuable resource for anyone interested in traffic and migration through this area. Bagur will list about 295 steamboats that called at Jefferson, from the first, the "Lama" in March 1845 to the last, the "Anna Tardy" in 1905. Many of these made multiple trips, and the total number of documented dockings is 2,412. Of these, about 2,070 were before the arrival of the railroad in 1874, and only about 342 during the next 31 years. Adjusting for the Civil War years, Jefferson averaged almost 100 dockings per year for about 25 years until the arrival of the railroad. I have seen a photograph in the Jefferson museum showing at least 7 steamboats tied up at the wharf at one time. Bagur's book will list all boats, give their descriptions, and give the dates of all arrivals. I thought some might be interested in the effect of the Civil War on steamboat traffic to Jefferson, so I made a few notes. Here is a summary: Year Number of landings 1858 62 1859 98 1860 46 1861 106 1862 15 1863 21 1864 0 1865 16 1866 187 1867 115 It appears that traffic initially increased in 1861 (more farm products headed east?) and then was almost completely shut down as control of the Mississippi passed to the Federal side. The few trips made were probably to Shreveport, Natchitoches or Alexandria on the Red River. But look at the explosion in 1866! I have read that farmers had hidden out their cotton crops during years it couldn't be marketed, fearing Union confiscation. As soon as that (perceived) danger had passed, cotton simply "came out of the swamps" and crowded the wharf at Jefferson. Another resource that I had never seen before was the book: "Account of a Journey through North-Eastern Texas undertaken in 1849 for the purposes of emigration embodied in a report by Edward Smith London, 1849" Keep in mind that this journey was undertaken only four years after the first steamboat reached Jefferson. It is fascinating reading and I have to find a copy of my own. It contains extremely detailed and practical advice to settlers considering emigration to Texas. A sample: When you arrive at New Orleans, book passage to Jefferson...it then recommends several "suitable" vessels, and warns about other undesirable ones. Then, go the Army Quartermaster in New Orleans. You will be able to buy good wagons at half the going price out of surplus army equipment left over from the Mexican War. There is a good discussion of the comparative merits of draft animals for pulling the wagon: horses vs. mules vs. oxen. The choice: oxen. They are better in the mud, and, when old, can be fattened and eaten. And a word of caution: When you reach Jefferson, do not buy your yoke of oxen in town. They will be of smaller size and more expensive than available from farmers in the countryside. With the number of people hauling cargo into Jefferson, one can easily rent a yoke of oxen or a mule team for a couple of days, and pull your wagon at least 15 or 20 miles away from Jefferson before buying your own oxen. Ah, the good ole days! Being street-smart in those days was an altogether different thing, wasn't it? Gene in Dallas

Hi Mark, this happens on every list that [email protected], slave-info is involved in. IMO They have an agenda. i was kicked off the Slave-info list because i responded in a polite manner to an erroneous post about slave owners with some true facts. I have also helped some find their roots and posted some important info to the Slave Info List. I suggest you all put the truth out there on any list that you are on that bashs Southernors or spreads untruths about our heritage. cheers, josie At 12:08 AM 10/19/1999 EDT, you wrote: >Please - for those of you who misunderstood MY QUESTION - I simply asked one >group about what I saw on another group listing {[email protected]}.... >it was not my thoughts on the cemeteries located in New Orleans... after all >I live in Los Angeles... and was told of these dangers in the cemeteries in >New Orleans... so any of you wishing to dispute "Dangerous Cemeteries in >NewOrleans" please forward to the following group - [email protected] >as it was someone on that list that made the statement...

Hello List: I need a little help. In trying to find where my ancestors are buried in New Orleans, is there a website? or do I write someplace? I have a list of homes and business sites they owned from 1860 to 1890. I contacted Sally K. Reeves at the Notorial Archives and she said she would probably have documents because my gg grandfather was a maker of surveyors instruments. But how do I find out where he and the others are buried. I think they were Catholic because they came from France and the name has ties to Catholics. (SULPICE) Also, we're having trouble reading some LDS records and cannot tell if spelling was BELIN or BELLIN, same with name BOUROT or BOROT. So finding cemeteries and other information is important to me. Thank you for your help. I'm just getting started in this (2 months) and the advice from the Rootsweb's lists are more valuable than even the older family genealogists can supply. They usually just tell me what they CAN'T find out. "ROOTWEBBERS" tell me where information CAN be found! Thanks so much!
