I have a David Dortch, resident of East Baton Rouge Parish, who authorized his wife Eleanor to sell 413 arpents of land boardering Bayou Baton Rouge and 25 slaves, 24 April 1849. I also have an Elenor Dortch who died in 1866 and is buried in Young Cem., and who may have been the same Elenor as in the 1849 reference above. Is this your line?

Surnames: DORTCH, SMITH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DCB.2ACE/38.64.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Attached is my Dortch gedcom. For the most part (except for cemetery transcriptions), this is compiled genealogy, so I can't vouch for its accuracy. Please add and correct information; I'll appreciate hearing back from you. My interest in this family is that I am descended from Eleanor Smith Dortch through her son Thomas Bell Smith. I can't find much information about the family and keep hoping another descendant will have something to contribute.

I have a Mary Ann Dortch, b. ca. 1820, who married Benjamin Smith. She had children from this marriage including a son William killed in the War between the States. I believe this Mary Ann Dortch Smith later married a man named Badger. Some of my information is from a printed flyer from 1940 without references so there may be some errors. Most of my research concerning this family has been on the Dortch family, which is my line. Let me know if this might be the people of interest to you. Thanks.

HI: Which pay site is best to access census images, Heritage Quest or Ancestry.com? I tried Heritage Quest -- it had a great indexing capacity, you just ask for the name and the year. It prints the name of the person,age, state, etc., plus the census page. Have not seen Ancestry.com. Thanks for your opinions. I'm seeking the easiest pay site to use before I buy. Kberry

After the battle, Jesse fell ill with the measles. He and other sick and wounded soldiers were placed on the steamboat Vesuvius to be sent upriver to Natchez, MS. Jesse and several other soldiers died enroute. Jesse Mays died 19 March 1815. He and several other deceased soldiers were buried at Baton Rouge in March 1815. Does anyone know the location of the burial site of these soldiers?

I have recently accepted responsibility for all of our Louisiana titles, and I hope that you can offer me some assistance. I'm very interested in informing genealogists, historians, archivists, professors, libraries, and historical groups about the opportunities that lie with us. We publish a popular series of photographic histories called Images of America, which chronicles the histories of communities, towns, and counties throughout the country. I do want to emphasize that, unlike many local history publishers, we are not a vanity press. Rather, we finance the entire publication and pay royalties to the author, which makes it a great fundraiser for organizations. There are too few histories published on the unique Southern culture found in Louisiana. I am interested in adding several new titles to our 2003 program that explore and promote the wonderful stories, photographs, and history of communities throughout Louisiana--the music, arts, and folklore, historic sites and buildings, people, events, religion, education, etc. I am mainly interested in straightforward photographic histories of towns and parishes in Louisiana that do not necessarily have a specific focus, other than the community itself. If you are interested in receiving more information about our company and a complementary book as a gift and a reference, I would be happy to put together a package and mail it to you. Perhaps you could recommend individuals or organizations that I should contact. Please pass along my contact information to anyone of your various associates and affiliates who might be interested in working on a photographic history of Louisiana. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon! Best Wishes, Kelle Broome, Editor Arcadia Publishing 2A Cumberland Street Charleston, SC 29401 tel.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Forbes, Carter, Scott, Curry, Dunn, Mercier, JeanLouis, Wiltz, Broussard, Michel, Henry, DeClouet, Esclavon, Colas, Jacquet Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DCB.2ACE/198.1 Message Board Post: Standards Heights was an area community around the then called Standard Oil Refinery now Exxon Mobil located along Scenic Hwy, Chippewa St, GSU Road, and the Mississippi River. The community just east of the refinery gates was called Dixie and I believe if memory serves me right, the community just south of the refinery was Standard Heights. I could be wrong. I am sure somebody will correct me. It's been so long since I've heard that term. The refinery is buying up all the property between it and the interstate 110 and either tearing down or moving buidlings, to give it more of a buffer between it and the community since the 1989 explosion. Hope this helps, Cherryl
