Hi List: I was wondering if their was a riverboat pilot association in the early 1800s in Georgia. My David Johns(t)on, b. 1791 was a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River when he lived in Plaquemines Parish, LA in the late 1830's to his death in 1852. He was a member of the Pilots Benevolent Association during this time. Does anyone know if records of riverboat pilots were kept in Georgia? David has been a brickwall now for well over 15 years. I cannot go back any further then him. His will states that he was born in Wilkinson Co., Georgia, but I know that Wilkinson didn't become a county until the early 1800s. I know he was married to Hanna Frederika Hoffman in 1840 in Louisiana. They had one son in 1841, Alexander Henry Johnston. David was more than likely married before Hanna given the age difference between David & Hanna. If anyone has any suggestions to find answers on my David, I would greatly appreciate them. Thanks!

I have a picture of my father which was taken while he was in the service in Korea probably around1952. In the picture along with my Dad is another service man by the name of Irby PERCLE. My father believes that Irby was from Westwego Louisiana. The people in the picture from left to right are-- Billy Joe COOKE, _______ MILLER(1st name possibly Ralph) and Irby PERCLE. If anyone is interested I have scanned the picture and put it online at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rmbeckman/patpic/bill/cookemillerpercle.jpg Please note that web address is long and you will probably have to copy and paste it into your browser address Thanks --Marie Beckman http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rmbeckman/
