Iam researching for my sister-in-law, who's late husband was Frederick JOLLISANT who was born in Calcasieu Parish, LA in 1907. His birth father was supposedly named VON ZOINT...Well needless to say I can not find either of these names in any records except for his death & children in TX. I think someone made-up these names, Frederich could not read or write. Has anyone ever heard of either of these names...??? I could really use some help.. Patricia Schiro schiro@gte.net

Hi Betty, I might be able to help with the list of known children of Thomas and Eliza Ryan Rigmaiden. Thomas, Elizabeth, Mary Ann ,James, Lucy, Henry, Catherine (our line), Albert, and Jacob. Most of my info came from Ray Rigmaiden, a descendant of Thomas Jr. Other info came from Thomas Rigmaiden's diary and Journery's End.

Can anyone furnish me a list of >the known children of Thomas Rigmaiden?? Betty, your comment about census records encouraged me to take another look at the 1850 Calcasieu census. The online transcription of this census, which I had been using before, has a Nassott Olston with a daughter Catherine, age 6, but I hadn't recorded this family in my gen database because I wasn't sure who Nassott was. I just checked the image of the actual census page, and the name is actually Napol Olston or Alston, the Napol being obviously an abbreviation of Napoleon. I believe Napol to be the Napoleon Bonaparte Alston, 1820-56, buried in Hagar Cemetery in Beauregard Parish. The known children of Thomas Rigmaiden and Eliza Ryan: 1) Thomas Edward (m. Eliza Marcantel) 2) Elizabeth (m. Eugene Vincent) 3) Mary Ann (m. Adolphe Escoubas) 4) James 5) Lucy (died young) 6) Henry 7) Catherine (m. Isaac Lang) 8) Albert (m. Caroline C. Hewitt) 9) John Jacob (m. Cleo ?) LV Hayes lvhayes@worldnet.att.net

In response to message re: subject matter submitted by L.V. Hayes: Catherine Cole, buried in Cole Cemetery, I believe, was the daughter of Napoleon Bonaparte Alston who was b Jan 15, 1814 and his wife Ann L. Walker. This Napoleon had a dau Catherine b ca 1844, date from census records, and she was their oldest child. From a now deceased cousin, he said "Kit", as Catherine was called, possibly married a John Cole, his parents unknown. I don't know who the S. Rigmaiden was. Can anyone furnish me a list of the known children of Thomas Rigmaiden?? Betty Moreno

Rigmaiden (no dates) is buried next to Cathrine Cole, born 15 Sep 1844, died 20 Aug 1918, in the Cole Cemetery, Beauregard Parish, LA. I cannot connect theses names to the local Rigmaiden and Cole families. Does anyone know who the parents or children of this couple were? LV Hayes

Posted on: Calcasieu Parish, La Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/La/Calcasieu?read=400 Surname: Sanders, Hereford ------------------------- Sorry, but I have never been able to pin down who Charity's husband was either. I suspect that it was John Sanders that died in San Augustine Co, TX. about 1826. I have seen his name mentioned in several records, but have never gone through the Republic of Texas records that might give additional information on him. If you have the time this may be the best place to look. Houston Library has most of these records in volumes of books. I just refuse to drive down there. Also Stephen F. Austin University has the same set of books in their library. How are you related? The Hereford or Sanders or both? I wish you alot of luck on your search. Hopefully some day this little mystery will be resolved. Tassy

Posted on: Calcasieu Parish, La Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/La/Calcasieu?read=390 Surname: Pierce, Williams, Bailey, Burge, Wofford, McBride, Neely, Dickerson ------------------------- I am trying to locate any information and descendants of Nancy Pierce, b. Dec 1839, d. ca 1900 in Calcasieu Parish (now Beauregard Parish). She is buried in Spikes cemetery. Nancy Pierce was the daughter of Samuel Drew Pierce (Hereford)and Eliza Sanders. According to the marriage record found in San Augustine County, TX she married William J. Williams on Aug 11, 1856. He was born around 1830 Zavala, Old Mexico and is also buried in Spikes Cemetery. I have five names of their children as follows: William D. Williams b. ca 1865, m. Winnie Bailey Amanda Catherine b. ca 1868, m. Henderson Burge Nancy Marrah b. ca 1870, #1. Walter Wofford, #2 John Dickerson Columbus C. b. ca 1876, m. #1. Josephine McBride, #2 Francis Bailey Alice N. b. Aug 6, 1877, d. Sept 30, 1958 m. Gilbert Neely There are two other children that I believe is theirs, but would like to have more proof. They are: John Williams b. Mar 15, 1874 Robert Williams b. ca 1884 There may be additional children that I do not know about. If anyone has information on any of the above names please contact me. I have information on all of Nancy's brothers, but have been unable to locate anyone from her line.

My problem is Ancestry is not webtv compatable will Rootsweb be? I had to unsubscribe from Ancestry I was paying my $5.00 a month for a year or two and went to make my page and that's what they said. ------------------------------------- My Brick Wall's Dave BEGIER><Ger><Tx>1868-1936 married>Sara Francis Johnson Adolph CANDELIER><Fr><La>1837-1878 married >Margarett Evelina Nash Lewis CRAIN><Ga><Tx>1795-1864 married>Rutha Smith?

Can someone tell me where I can find information on the events at Sabine Pass during CW? Thanks, Betty

Posted on: Calcasieu Parish, La Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/La/Calcasieu?read=383 Surname: ------------------------- Have you checked out Big Woods Cemetery that is online? Go to , then go to Big Woods. It is in the Edgerly area. And if that is the cemetery you are looking for - there is a book that can be purchased, but I think just about everything that is in the book is online. Have a great day! Margaret Moore

Posted on: Calcasieu Parish, La Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/La/Calcasieu?read=379 Surname: ------------------------- You did not mention the time period that you are interested in, but the Calcasieu Parish Court House has marriage license after 1910. Prior to that you might try contacting the Southwest Louisiana Genenalogy Library at 411 Pujo St in Lake Charles, LA 70601. Their email address is gen@grok.calcasieu.lib.la.us. I know they have a card catalog that indexes the marriage dates a lot farther back than the 1910 date. I am not sure that they would have the marriage license or certifcate for the older ones, but perhaps a newspaper article. They do not charge anything for a look up and only charge .20 (twenty cnets) per copy plus the .33 (thirty-three cents) for the postage. Hope this helps and have a great day!

Looking for information on any William J. Morris, MD that was in St. Landry Parish, LA between above years. His wife was Cassandra Ruth Middleton of Franklin Co. MS. The had the following children in MS: Inez Z. 1845; Alief Ozelda 1851; Laura L. 1854; William [Willie] P. 1856; Emma J. 1858; Edgar E. 1860, d. 1861. While in LA they had two girls: Christine J. 1858; Ida Ione 1866. They moved on to TX abt 1868 where they had a son Eugene ca 1868. I have received information that a Wm. J. move to Rayne, now Acadia, and lived near a newspaper "Rayne Tribune" and the Rayne Opera House. That this William J. Morris MD had a shoot out with a Dave Bull an English immigrant, that Wm. shot and killed him then he shot his own wife, but the bullet hit a watch she had pinned to her shirt. That she left and went back to her own family, supposedly part of the James gang. I don't believe this is my Wm. J., but could possibly be a father or uncle. If any one can find this info and can send me copies which I will reimburse costs I would appreciate it. If there is an historical soc. there in Rayne, I would appreciate their email address or snail-mail address. Thanks. Pauline Hallett
