Reply to sender or the list. I'm looking for information on what happened to two sisters living with Wm. T. McWilliams in the 1860 Claiborne Parish census. They were Mary C. McWilliams, born between 1831 and 1835 in AL, and Lydia McWilliams, b. 1844 in MS. I have no other information on these two. Wm.'s mother Eleanor Moorhead McWilliams, age 55, was also living with the family. I do not know when or where she died. Mary, Lydia and Eleanor were not listed with Wm.'s family in Columbia Co., AR in the 1870 census. Thanks for any help! Sandra twssls@flash.net

We think he may be buried in Woodlawn Cemetry in DeRidder, La. as there is a William Frank Powell with same birthday buried there. His 2nd wife had 3 children: Howard, Latha and William Richard. Do not know 3 rd. wife or children! Thank You, Nan from Ark.

Hi Everyone, I just got back from visiting in LA. The scenery is beautiful, but it's a bit humid. I found my gggrandfather's tombstone at Upper Old Athens Cemetary. I found other Beauchamp and Gamble ancestors I didn't know about. The libraries in Minden and Homer are really nice. The librarians were friendly and helpful. The Homer library had more local information, but the census at the Minden library gave me some needed information. Thanks for all your suggestions and information. Susan Beauchamp Brenner

I am not sure which part of LA they lived in but, I am searching for relatives of William "Bill" Carpenter. He may have robbed a bank. I've heard Bossier Cilty indirectly linked with his name. His sons were Clifton Roy Carpenter 6/6/1946 and O'Dell. He married Georgia Louise Shoumaker. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Lisa Carpenter-Clements (Arkansas) lgc37@ipa.net

I am hoping someone will recognize these Cook men and how they relate to the children of Benjamin & Minerva J. (Hawthorn/e) Goodson. Probate Packet #2562 Claiborne Parish, LA, Guardianship for Children of Benjamin & Minerva (Hawthorn) Goodson. Benjamin Goodson and Minerva Hawthorn have two children: Telida M and Mary V. Goodson. Both parents die, by or before 22 October 1864, Claiborne Parish, LA Benjamin Goodson, is the son of David and Elizabeth (Bell) Goodson, living in Claiborne Parish, LA, at the time. The children must have tutors [guardians] David and Elizabeth (Bell) Goodson are appointed tutor and under tutor. Soon after the appointment, there is opposition to Elizabeth (Bell) Goodson, retaining, guardianship due to an oath she made to the Confederacy, the opposition is filed by her sister in-law, Jane (Cotton) Goodson, then, Jefferson W. Cook seeks and is given Guardianship of these minor children, and James M Cook is Under Tutor [Guardian]. Jefferson W. Cook dies on August 11, 1868, after his death, James M. Cook, (Bienville Parish, LA) seeks and is given Guardianship of these minor children, with Pleasant R. Beard, Under Tutor. James M Cook states that he is their nearest relative and he is appointed with- out bond. He also states that although the children do not have interest in any property in Louisiana, they probably do in Mississippi. Appreciate any help Elnora Frances Cook-Wyrick

Can anyone tell me where the Upper Old Athens Cemetary is located? I didn't see it listed on the genweb site. Perhaps it has another name. Thanks for your help. Susan

The Herbert W. Ford Museum was named because it was founded by Herbert Ford himself. He began collecting items at a young age which he used to fill a rail car that was located behind his house, I believe. The need to expand forced him to move the items into the old Claiborne Creamery Building which was torn down to build the new parish jail in the 1970s. At that time, Dorace Maritzky donated the present building, which is the old Hotel Claiborne that dates back to about 1890. It is located on the south side of the downtown square across from the antebellum Courthouse that dates back to 1861. The museum is now run by a board and is a remarkable museum for a town this size, with multi-level floors. You can find more about the museum and a story I wrote for the newspaper at the website www.claiborneone.org. The phone number to the Ford Museum in (318) 927-9190. It is open M-W-F.

I am looking for information on William Hood in Claiborne Parish. On 1870 census, He was 60, and was married to Mrs. Jane M. Wilson, 41. He married her Aug. 3, 1866 in Homer. They had three children, William Samuel, b. 1867, James Edgar, b. 1868, and Catharine, b. 1869. He had five children by a previous marriage, Martha J., 27, Sarah A., 18, Nancy Ann, 14, William, 12, Randle R., 9, and Francis E., 7. She had four children by her previous marriage, George W., 16, Frances M., 15, Mary J., 13, and Susan W., 11. He was alive and on the 1880 census, but I have a dead end there, and before his marriage to Jane in 1866.

Sorry. Even if Union Parish is a next door parish none of my family ever lived in it. Not that I know of.

Posted on: Claiborne Parish La Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/La/Claiborne/10186 Surname: Anderson, Tatum ------------------------- Any descendents of Oliver Perry Anderson know his father or mother's names? I have found evidence of his name and birth date in a Bible from Monroe Co., Tennesse, but not the names of his parents. I have Tatum line back from his wife Rebecca.

Was your Mary Cox related to Mrs. Nancy Cox Henderson of Union Parish, La.? My great, great gm was a daughter of Thomas Cox if you are interested in this line. Thanks, Sherry
