I have to agree with Gina. We usually visit the last week of May (Memorial Day weekend) and it is fine. It can be hot but not to bad. By the Fourth of July we spend our time in the lake or in front of a fan. I like the heat but having an out door reunion latter than the end of May would not be much fun. I find late March and November to be a good time to just sit around out doors but the kids are still in school. Besides the heat in the summer there are the bugs and mosquitoes. I'm not trying to make is sound like a bad place but those who do not come prepared will not have a good time. The area is beautiful. Be sure to bring your camera, walking shoes or boots, long sleeve shirts and long pants for exploring. You can walk through the pine forest bare foot and most every place else but be on the look out for fire ants and don't forget the "red bugs" or "chiggers (sp?)." We will have to exchange home remedies. Being an archaeologists I have seen lots of different things used for chiggers but the best prevention seems to be plain old brown bottle lysol applied directly to exposed skin before venturing out into the woods. Actually they are found in grassy areas like cemeteries. My vote would be for the end of May. My kids have their last day of school on May 26. So the 27th through the 31st would be good. We can print out maps to cemeteries, etc. from the web. I have used Tiger mapping service to locate several cemeteries. The only problem is that it does not contain all of the street/dirt road names and not all of the streets/dirt roads have signs. I think the idea of collecting a list of the cemeteries we are most interested in visiting is good. Then we can get maps to hand out or set times to meet and go as a group. At the end of May visiting cemeteries can make for a very long exhausting day. Does anyone have a good map of Union Parish we could add the cemeteries it does not have. Sue

Thanks Debi, you really brought back some good memories for me and my sister, Phyllis who is visiting me. We were reminded of all the Thanksgivings and summer vacations that we spent at our grandparents house in the Longstraw community near Choudrant in Jackson Parish. The first time I read your post, I asked myself if one of my cousins had written this about our grandparents, that's how similar your memories are to ours. We even called them Mamaw and Papaw like you did. You're right, a lot is lost to us as the older folks pass on. I guess all we can do is pass the stories on to the next generation and keep on looking for the ancestors. Thanks again for taking the time to write in and share your memories with us. Thanks to you too, Jan. Julia

The prior posts pretty much describe Alabama Landing and how it got its name. Your other question on Cherry Ridge--it is located northwest of Farmerville. Nothing remains of the earlier settlement. I believe that there is a Methodist church and cemetery still there (or least I have been told) I plan to look for it on the next trip to Farmerville.

Alabama Landing is located on the Ouachita River southeast of Marion and east of Haile. A few camps are located at the original landing. A nice Corps of Engineers boat launch and primitive campground is found just downstream on the Union Parish side of the river. Historical accounts seem to indicate that it was an important "disembarkation" site for settlers in the early 1800's (many of whom were from Alabama--thus the name). There was also a ford adjacent the site on the upstream side. A road from the east to Bastrop, Lake Providence, Vicksburg, etc. was present at least by the 1840's. So not only did steamboats unload settlers here (they likely could go no farther upstream for much of the year) but overland wagons from the east crossed at this site. There were no other good fords on either side for a good many miles according to the old maps I've seen. As a boy I can remember swimming at Alabama Landing before the Corps of Engineer's lock & dam & channelization project. Then you could walk all the way across. The bottom was very gravelly--rare in this area. I don't know of any cemetaries close to the landing but there is a recently (last 20 years) marked single grave of a civil war soldlier on the edge of the road leading to the landing. I can't remember the name but if anyone is interested I'll make a point to go by there and check it out. In addition to geneology my real interest is historical biology. I manage the National Wildlife Refuge adjacent Alabama Landing and many other lands in northeast La. My brother who is a wildlife professor at LSU and I spend a good bit of time researching old documents in an effort to recreate the pre-settlement environments in this part of the world--using Gov. Land Office Records, journals, diaries, etc. I also do a weekly blurb on the local public radio entitled "Bayou-Diversity" in which I use a lot of historical materials. Hey, I'm even in the process of writing a historical novel set in the 1860's in Union Parish! Seriously, I live in Rocky Branch and will be glad to help anyone on this board if I can. I am also seeking info on the Ouchley clan. We all came from Union Parish as a descendent of Dallas Ouchley (b.1840's) and cannot find even one reference to this surname prior to him anywhere in the world. He was almost certainly native American.

The letter is a hoax, check out www.va.gov/benefits/hoax.htm page . Your right if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.. CU AV

Alabama Landing is on the Ouachita River east of Marion. There is not much there though except a bunch of fishing camps and a boat ramp to the river. I always heard it got the name because this is where lots of people coming from eastern states dis-embarked from boats as they were moving to LA. I really don't know if there was ever much of a settlement there or not or any cemeteries. There is a Cherry Ridge section in Bastrop, LA. I don't know if it's the one your seeking though. By the way, My GG-Grandparents came from Dallas County AL in mid 1840's also. They came by boat from New Orleans and up the Ouachita but they did not stop in LA, they went on to Union county AR where they landed at Champagnolle Landing and settled there for a few years before moving a little farther north into Calhoun County, AR. I know of several families that left Dallas County, AL and settled in Union County and Calhoun county AR. Mine were Weisingers, Garretts and Grumbles.

Kelby, Thank you much for the great information. I knew there was a story behind the name Alabama Landing but couldn't remember what it was. Debi

I didn't mean to insult anyone with my description, I too have sweet memories of the BOONIES :) My daddy even let my cousins take me Snipe hunting in the woods!! I was trying to make people who have never been there aware that they shouldn't think that there are street signs, and red lights on the way to these cemeteries. You have to admit it is easy to get lost if you have never been there. My apologies, again. I still go to the BOONIES several times a year, it is my heritage, and I do love it. Gina

Oh, yes, it was fun! I remember how quiet we had to be so we wouldn't disturb the ladies! Weren't we abused??? We had to wait until adults finished talking before we could say anything. My folks were from Calcasieu parish. We had a big camp on the old Sabine river. There was a big screen room that was used to cook in. In the afternoons (after the naps) all my aunts and my grandma would sit around the big table or in chairs and piece the quilts. Then in the winter or fall when the weather cooled off they would quilt them. I am blessed with several of those quilts they made. When I was about 5, I made my first quilt for one of my dolls. What treasured memories. Thanks again for jarring them to the surface. Jan At 02:07 AM 11/28/1998 EST, [email protected] wrote: >Thank you, Jan.

Hi! Please respond to list about Alabama Landing. I remember someone once telling me how Alabama Landing got it's name but can't remember! It's somewhere around the Bernice/Hale area I think. There's some awful good catfishing there!! Cherry Ridge I'm not sure of. I know there is a Cherry Ridge elementary school in Bastrop, La. Debi

Hello: Can someone tell me wexactly where 'Alabama Landing' is or was? Was it a rural community? Was there a cemetery there? Or are there still cemeteries extant in that area? Is there anything left today of Alabama Landing? And where is/was 'Cherry Ridge'? Some of my kin, the Lees (and their allied folk) , moved to Union Parish ca 1846, from Dallas County, Alabama -- two brothers Martin Batte Lee (my g-g- grandfather) and William Eaton Lee. Many of them are buried in the Taylor/Liberty Hill Cemetery near Farmerville, but the earliest graves were probably in the Alabama Landing area. Any help is greatly appreciated. Robert E.

Debbie, My memories are not of Union Parish. That is where hubby's folks are from. But, Golly, it surely is close to what I remember too. The only thing you left out was the quilting rack hanging from the ceiling of the living room. It was on pulleys so that it could be let down for the ladies to work around. We would crawl up under there and play while they were quilting! Thanks for writing that and kiss that little one for us.

Thank you, Jan. That was something I not only left out but had forgotten. It was in that back room and when it was let down the quilt rack would hang over the sides of the small bed so we couldn't get under. I bet it was fun playing under there! We do have many treasures to unfold and smile over. I'll also be happy to give our little one, Elijah Brooks Phillips an extra kiss! Debi
