Add me to the "scream team". I really appreciate the posting of this information. that may explain why I didn't find more on the families I knew to be in this area. I knew Union Parish and Clairbone, but not about Jackson. Guess I need to do a search on that county as well. Thanks, everyone for sharing so much with the list.
