Reading over all the names entered today in the Roll-call brings back so many memories of my younger days visiting in Union Parish and having exchanged info with a lot of you I know it does the same for you. One source of info some of you may not have access to is the history books of the churches. I am very lucky to have two{thanks to the generosity of my cousins} and as I look through them and at all the pictures submitted the families come alive and its easy to see the connection between the families. As in most areas of the early south most were related and some married kin so these old names go on and on. I have seen a mention of almost every name submitted today but not much to help on dates etc. I am so grateful Tim Hudson has taken on the major task of hosting our page and I feel he will get the job done and done right. Thanks Tim! Brenda Gray Felder
I am also descended from a John Kelley but not the same one. Mine is John Andrew Kelley b. 1832, South Carolina d. 1914 (Union Parish, La) Moved to Carroll County Ga., and then moved to Union Parish 1875) Maradee Liggin Cryer
My ggrandfather was Richard Tubb Moore who emigrated from Perry County, Alabama to Union Parish about 1850 along with a sister (m. Pleasant) and three brothers. I seek information on their descendants. Another ggrandfather was Nathaniel Gresham (earlier spelling Grisham) who, along with at least one brother,emigrated from Calhoun Co. Arkansas to Union Parish before the war as they served in the Louisiana Infantry of the C.S.A. Nathaniel was born in North Carolina before his parents (Thomas P. Grisham and Mary Hester Grisham) moved to Tennessee and thence to Arkansas. I seek information about Mary Hester Grisham and her ancestry.
