These abstracts of death reports are an excellent resource. Though the newspapers are based in Tennessee, there are death notices from all over the country: Abstracts from Reported Deaths from The Nashville Christian Advocate (from mid-1800's to early 1900's); Genealogical Tidbits from The Memphis Daily Appeal during the Centennial Year of 1876. There are also miscellaneous records from Madison, Carrol, Chester, Henderson and other TN counties. THE WORKS OF JONATHAN K. T.

Surnames: Hagan McCaa Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EJB.2ACE/515.1 Message Board Post: My father is Charlie Hagan, and his mother was Nona Clara McCaa (my grandmother). My father, Charlie, knew verylittle about his family history. I have been off an on trying to reconstruct things for a couple of years now. I do know that Nona Clara McCaa was born on December 27, 1881, and died in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday, September 30, 1961 at 3:00 p.m. Nona's father was William Albert McCaa, Sr. (my great-grandfather), who was married to Josephine Trevillion on December 26, 1872. Josephine died on April 14, 1885. William Albert died on March 3, 1917. William Albert and Josephine had four children: William, Cassius, Mattie, and Nona Clara (grandmother). Cassius McCaa may be the "Cash" you have referred to as being in a photograph with two young men. After Josephine died on April 14, 1885, William Albert remarried Anna Jane Moore on April 19, 1887. Her nickname was "Bam." She and William Albert had four children: Vernon, Leroy, William, Jr., and Albert, Jr. Charles' stepmother, Bam, died on March 6, 1947. Nona Clara McCaa and her stepmother are buried in City Cemetery # 4 in San Antonio, Texas in Row # 19, Graves 11 and 12. This cemetery is located at New Braunsfels Avenue and Gulf Street. The rows are numbered with # 1 starting at New Braunsfels Avenue. This is on record at the City Sexton's office on Palmetto Street. There are a number of other McCaas that Charlie Hagan had written down in the family bible, who are presumably brothers (?) of William Albert: (1) Albert Wayne McCaa, died 11/12/1888; (2) Leroy Charles McCaa, died 6/27/1898; (3) Vernon B. McCaa, died 10/29/1915; and (4) William Lawrence McCaa, died 9/27/1898.

AMEN!!

Thank you for that interesting information. All of these "pieces" are helping me put together a pattern of Eusebius Bushnell's final years of life, which is what I am trying to do. He seems to have been a very interesting man. I am a direct descendant of his, living in SW Louisiana. There are many of us here in this area. It would be interesting to know when and how he died. All help is received with gratitude. Ethel.

The Twelve Mile swamp as you say was a part of Spanish West Florida, just below the Tombigbee region which would become the Alabama Territory later, but was then about to be the eastern part of the Mississippi Territory. Confusing! As for other filibusterers - my John and James Caller/Callier were ring leaders of this action and another one similiar to it. People have a tendency to think that people did nopt travel much in those days, but they did. The Callers were often in the Adams, Claiborne, Jefferson area for business and political purposes. Sue M.

I wrote Mr. Mikell and advised him he could continue to post if he chose to remove all sales information and he chose to Unsubscribe. Anyone wishing to still receive his work, may subscribe to one of his counties, Lawrence or Jeff Davis.

I must agree with Ann. Eddie Mikell does nice work, and it is sometimes very interesting, but it seems to confuse Jeff Davis County and Lawrence County with Jefferson County, so it really is "off topic". I still keep my subscription to the list because of posts from my friends like Ann Geoghegan, Nancy Brister, Sue Moore, Ann Brown, Joyce Shannon Bridges, Ona Patrick, and many others, but I sometimes wonder if Eddie's posts are appropriate. At the same time, I remember the civility and friendliness I found in Port Gibson on my visit in March, something quite refreshing, and hope we all can remember to be polite. I'm also excited Ann got the Warren County rootsweb site. Geography is everything. My great grandfather's brother Thomas Kimsey Daniel moved from Tennessee in 1844 and married Joliann Boren in Claiborne County, and by 1850 was working as an overseer in Warren County. Thomas K. Daniel died 3 Jan 1851, and it seems my great grandfather H.P.K. Daniel came down from Tennessee to settle his brother's affairs, and ended up marrying into the Boren family too. So I have deep roots in this part of Mississippi, where my grandfather and father were born. All near the "Trace" and Port Gibson, in the Brandywine District [5] of Claiborne County, not far from Jefferson County. Some of the Borens are buried at Union Church. But none of my ancestors are from Jeff Davis or Lawrence counties. If I wanted information on these counties, I would have joined the lists for Jeff Davis or Lawrence County. So while I wish Eddie Mikell the best, I don't find his posts to be pertinent. Respectfully, Clay Daniels

I agree if you want to share, share .............if you want to sell then go to e bay......Janice

There are two books titled, "Residents of the Mississippi Territory, Miscellaneous," by Jean Strickland and Patricia N. Edwards which were published in 1995. The index which is in the second book mentions the surname BUSHNELL on three pages, i.e. page 67 & 82 in Book 2A and page 122 in Book 2B. Page 67 has to do with the case of Robert Percy vs John Collins, Executor, 1804. Natchez. Feb. 1794 statement....Charles Percy, dec'd: David Lejeune & Daniel Ogden, Appraisers; John Newton & Eusebius Bushnell, witnesses; Frances Pompett & Don Manuel Gagofo de Lemos mentioned. An Estate inventory follows with a long list of negro men and their families and the ages of family members. British Navy Lt. Robert Percy, son of Charles Percy. Susan, 2nd wife of Charles Percy. Henry Hargoreder and Henry Rapier bought the estate. Death of William Vousdan mentioned. Thomas J. Percy, minor heir. Robert Dow, Attorney. Page 82 is a court case in 1824 which mentions a Charles Bushnell. Page 232 mentions that Eusebio Bushwell arrived in Natchez from Kentucky with a number of others. This was on 22 Jun 1790. (The spelling is not mine but what is shown in the book.) Many of the Spanish deeds in the Mississippi Territory were described in terms of distances from the Spanish Fort in Natchez. Thus, Twelve Mile Swamp might be somewhere within what is now Adams County.

To all JEFFERSON County list members I have been researching the mailing list archives for the last two days. Eddie Mikell says he had permission from the List Owners to post his information on Jefferson for the last 7 years. I have found NO record of any permission from any list administrator connected with this county for permission to post anything. The first time his name even appears in the Archives is in 1999 when he had a problem with messages he posted on Jefferson Davis going to Jefferson by mistake. Carolyn Switzer wrote to Rootsweb and had this corrected. He did not begin sending the History of Lawrence County to Jefferson County until 2002. I have been unable to ascertain exactly which month. This may have been another rootsweb mix-up with Jefferson Davis or not. But apparently some of you enjoyed the posts so nothing was done to prevent him from posting his work. However he did not start adding the sales availability of his project until just this year. I know some of you have let me know you like what Mr. Mikell has contributed so far. What I would like to do, to be fair, is to allow Eddie to continue to post if he agrees to remove all requests for donations or sales information from his posts. And now I would appreciate it if we could all get back to our research. Happy hunting for those ancestors! Ann Allen Geoghegan Jefferson County Mailing List Admin.

It was one of the staging areas for the "Filibusters" who were intent on wresting Mobile from the Spanish. Unfortunately for them, a fletboat of supplies, including whiskey, arrived from their confederates(including Ruben Kemper and his brothers) who had the same designs on Baton Rouge. The 12 Mile Island bunch got roaring drunk and unruly, the Spanish Commandant at Mobile was told of their presence, and sent soldiers there. The Filibusters were taken by surprise, some killed and wounded, and several, including "Maj" William Hargrave, were convicted and sent to Cuba with prison terms. Don't know about the others, but Hargrave survived and returned to the United States. This is all off the top of my head as I am visiting away from home and cannot check my notes on the matter. So, some of my account would have to be confirmed before you accept it as fact. But it is apparent the US "let" the Filibusters ! (who lived in the areas under Spanish West Florida control) ultimately run the Spanish out so the US government (which encouraged the Filibusters) could distance itself from that action. > Would anyone know where "12 Mile Swamp" was located in Spanish West Florida about 1799-1803?

I am re-posting my request for information on Bushnells, Gordons, Hagans. Ethel in Louisiana. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ethel Sacker To: Hynum, Jill Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 3:21 PM Subject: Re: [MSJEFFER-L] BUSHNELL, GORDON, HAGAN Thanks, Jill, and all- for the response on Eusebius Bushnell, and the Spanish Land Grants. I wish I knew what you mean by "The Spanish Land Grant Records are all over". I would love to find those places. However, I think I have located one source in the Florida State Archives. I am in contact with a lady in the Archives. The MSJefferson website article is great, and is very useful info in my search of Eusebius Bushnell, my ancestor. He was the first Bushnell to come to Louisiana, but I have very little on his final years. Seems he spent his last several years in Spanish West Florida, which may have included Natchez, MS. Where were these Flatboats supposed to have landed? He is listed as a settler. That could be a really good clue. Appreciate all response. This is a great list. Ethel.
