Kent, born about 1830 in Ireland, supposedly lived in Baton Rouge. Maybe they were related? He married Eliza Jane McCardell of Iberville Parish and had a bunch of children, but none named John that I know of, but if John left for Texas, maybe that's why he's not on the 1880 census. Eliza's father was named John so she should have named a son after him. Could you email me all the dates and particulars you have on your John S. Kent? Ann Nunn annnunn@digiscape

Surnames: Morgan/McCarroll/Daigre/Jewell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DCB.2ACE/125 Message Board Post: I am seeking information on Morgan Morgan who died in 1846. He married 1st Elizabeth McCarroll on 8 Apr. 1827 in East Feliciana Parish and 2nd Isabelle Jewell Daigre on 18 Feb. 1839. There were children from the 1st marriage and the children from the 2nd marriage were Davis A., Almira, and Virginia Morgan. The family lived in Baton Rouge, but also had a house in New Orleans at the corner of Nyades (now St. Charles Ave.) and Felicity. I have reason to believe that Morgan Morgan was a state representative for East Baton Rouge Parish, but have not verified this. Anyone having information on Morgan Morgan (ancestors, descendants, or either of his marriages, etc.) please contact me at <<pennymidboe@erols.com>>.

Joseph Sumrall will present a program on "How to Inventory a Cemetery" at the next meeting of the Washington Parish Genealogical and Historical Society.  Mr. Sumrall has done much work in cemeteries in MS and LA.  Several MS counties have had his findings compiled into books so that researchers like ourselves can have ready access to the information. Mr. Sumrall will demonstrate to us a systematic way of doing an inventory of this type.  (This program had been planned for an earlier date and had to be postponed.) The group will also discuss plans for the upcoming display at the Washington Parish Fair.  We will have an educational display in the Armory Building.  The display has been planned already.  Some of us will need to work a shift at the display during fair hours.  Russ Williams will be here also.  He is excited about being able to be at the display.   In his publications about Washington Parish history, he likes to use this opportunity to visit with folks and gain new information. Information about our group, as well as membership applications, will be available at our booth.  It will also contain educational materials about genealogical work. Please make every effort to attend this important meeting of our group.  We will meet at 5:30 pm at the Bogalusa Branch of the Washington Parish Library.   Our meeting date is Tuesday, October 9, 2001.

Try giving the newspaper archives a call. The parish library has microfilm of the past newspapers but it in not indexed and I do not recall exactly when the article was published. My husband is related to most of the people buried in the Young Cemetery. I do not know of an online index of those buried there.

Galvez for King Carlos of Spain, attacked and totally defeated the British in their Military forts in Natchez, Miss., Baton Rouge, La., New Orleans LA., Mobile, Ala., and Pensacola, Fl., in the American Revoltionary war. These were the ONLY British defeats, on the now American mainland, during the American Revoltionary War, outside the original 13 colonies.!!! Shortly after the War, Louisiana became part of the United States of America, by the Louisiana Purchase. When the British tried to take back the U.S.A. again, in 1812, their major plans to take the our country, by way of the Battle of New Orleans were totally spoiled, for the most part of the previous Islenos' victory. Had the Islenos'/Canary Island Colonists not run the British out of the Spanish Louisiana Gulf Coast 34 years earlier, (in conjuncture with their American friends in the A.R.W.), the British fortifications on the then Spanish Gulf Coast would have been intact, in 1812, and probably much more fortified. Having that great advantage the British would have easily conquered the U.S.A., by dividing and conquering our land, by coming up the Missippippi River, and ending our great Nation. That is why the D.A.R. & S.A.R. recognize the Islenos as a member of the American Revoltionary War. Sadly most of the U.S.A. does not know about these simple Spanish farmers, (much less taught) who sacrificed their own lives to make our America free today.!!! In great graditude to the Baton Rouge area Islenos' for their help in securing the American Nation, they were allotted by the E.B.R. Americans of Louisiana, the 1st Subdivision in Baton Rouge, now called "Spanish Town". It was next to John Christian Buhler's property, where the Governor's Mansion is today. The Spanish King Carlos had them "living" in a horrible floodplain of the Amite River, around what is now close to Galvez. Baton Rougeans saw no need for their Heros to live like that. I think Louisiana or the U.S. Government should put this neighborhood on the National Register. If more Louisianians of Islenso' descent knew that they were not "Spanish- Cajuns", but were their own distinct ethnic group, we would all have a richer celebration of our mutual American heritage.

I have a copy of Virginia Jennings' great book, " The Plains and the People ", but I am looking for particular demographic information on who is buried there, are they Young descendents, are they not?, and where they are buried within the cemetery. Has anyone documented the cemetery online anywhere? Also, has anyone got any information on the "Mystery man", in the windowed case-iron sarcophagus and glass casket, that the Smithsonian came and took to Washington D. C. and put back in the latter part of the last century? Who was he? Why is he there? Was he related to the Young family or just a friend? I heard he was a perfectly-preserved, " well to do " fellow, in a beautiful silk suit and ornate clothes, and he looked Spanish. Is there a marker for him there?
