Have you checked out the Claiborne Parish Archives at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/claiborn.htm ? There is a search box on that page. If they were in Claiborne by 1840 you might find them on the recent addition of the census images there. Also if you need to contact the clerk of Court in Homer, LA you will find the address and phone # at http://www.rootsweb.com/~laclaib2/resources.htm Good luck.

I would love to have the emails for the association. I think they must be related. I have a great grandfather named William Barrow. Maybe it's a family name. It's even my dad's middle name. If you have any family information i.e. how/why they ended up where the did or family stories, I would be thrilled. Thank you so much!! Jennifer

I don't know if this is information you need or not but there is a Bayou Rapides in Alexandria. There is also an old plantation home now owned by Judge Rae Swent. Bobby and I were participants several years ago in a Civil War Re-enactment group. We held a battle in the yard of the plantation as this was a site where there had been an actual battle during the war. Right now I can't think of the name of the plantation but it is out on Bayou Rapides Road. This is fairly close to where England Air Base was. I tried to call but there is no one home right now. If you like I can try to call later today and find out the name of the plantation and if it was ever owned by Maddox family. Nola Ellington

Surnames: Maddox Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CCB.2ACE/185 Message Board Post: I work in the genealogical section of the Webster Parish Library and am calling on our neighbors for a little help. Our Mayor received an inquiry letter from a descendent of William Alexander Maddox that he passed on to me. W. A. Maddox moved to Claiborne Parish in 1858 and left in 1873. Maddox was the first commander of the Claiborne Invincibles and at least one of his eleven sons, Walter, served in a Claiborne Parish unit. The descendent is seeking information about the location of W.A. Maddox's plantation. I have found some conflicting information and need a little help. The descendent said the plantation was in the Hightower area and located on Rapides Bayou. The Hightower name I know, as a son of that family was a pharmacist in Minden from the 1890s through the 1940s. But I don't know where an area by that name would have been located in 1858. As to Rapides Bayou, I've never heard of that in CIaiborne Parish. I have W. A. Maddox on the Family Tree Maker Census Index as living in the area of the Forrest Grove P.O. in Claiborne Parish in 1860. But, on the Census Microfilm, he is on a page where the header indicates he resided in the Homer P. O. area. Where was the Forrest Grove P.O.? By 1870, the Maddox family had moved into Homer and I have that information, but am stuck on the location of the plantation. Another statment made by this descendant is giving me quite a bit of confusion. He states, "The Union Army took over their (the Maddox's) house in May 1864, the 13th Corps under General Lawler. An artillery duel between Union and Confederate indigenous artillery took place for a short exchange on the property." I may be way off, but to my knowledge no combat action took place inside Claiborne Parish during the Civil War, and so far as I knew the first Union troops entered the parish in May 1865 after the cessation of hostilites. If anyone can shed light on this story I would appreciate the help.

Military: War Dead searchable database Have any of you had military personnel missing in action, killed in action, killed in combat, shot down over enemy territory or buried at sea and no other information such as where buried (for those whose bodies were not shipped home)? Here is a great site to get the information on what branch of service, awards and medals, where buried (or where the memorial is) http://www.abmc.gov/ is the main page with quite a bit of information. This is the page that will take you to the search engine for their various databases: http://www.abmc.gov/abmc4.htm The Commission maintains a listing of those interred at the American military cemeteries overseas and those Missing in Action from World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam. In addition it has a listing of war veteransburied at our Corozal American Cemetery and those who lost their lives during the Korean War. Ley

Dear Lists, I'm looking for any information about my maternal Great-Grandmother Harriet Taylor. She was born in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana in 1868. My Great Grandmother was married to Sam Miner, they had 14 children, and they eventually settled in LouAnn, AR (Ouachita County). I'm looking for any plantations that may have been owned by someone with the last name of Taylor in Claiborne Parish, LA, or any large plantations that may have had alot of slaves that was in Claiborne Parish. Please email me at LeosDaughter@dotplanet.com with the information. Thank you in advance for all of your help, LaJuan McIntyre
