Mary Anne Amacker Hammond   February 28, 2000
Can anyone verify the middle name of John Jacob Amacker(died 1815,St. Helena
Parish, husband of Sarah Varnado{1785SC-1844LA} and that their children
included Clarinda (b.1807SC) and George W.(b.about 1814 LA, married 1.Celia
Burton,2.Elizabeth Melton)?
     Perhaps a deed(about 1813) from Richard Martin("Headright 46"lying
partly in sections 29, 30, 31 and the greater part of 32, now in Tangipahoa
Parish) might show John's middle name.
      Confirming his middle name may help me connect him to known   South
Carolina Amakers and Amachers. Thanks for any help.

Looking for the parents of a John Chapman who may have been born about 1765. He had children with a Marie Therese Fauvelle/Laviolette/Cluseau are some of the surnames she used. He also had children with Manette Roy who was married to Joseph Bogard. John's children did not inherit his land or belongings. A Euphrasie McCoy married to Terrence Duplechain from St. Helena Parish was the only heir listed on the succession.

May 06, 2000 - SURNAMES: BRIDGES, GOOD, McCANN. BARRETT

I am seeking information on a Willie (William) Bridges and a Maggie Good. I know they were married around 1859. The only wedding records I find between a Bridges and Good was between William C. Bridges and a Elizabeth Good.

According to a 92 yr. olf relative, Maggie and Will had three children: Pink, Cora, and Joe N.(Nimrod). They were later separated (sometime after the Civil War & according to birthdates after 1864). Will married (woman is unknown) again and had another son. Will later died from old war injuries. I found a 1938 obituary (Joe N.'s) that lists a sister, Cora Hanley of Whistler, Alabama as a survivor

Maggie later married a Charlie McCann and had three more children: Charlie, Bridget, and Mame. According to this relative, Charlie worked for the railroad, was a nice looking man and made good money. Maggie found out women were chasing Charlie so they separated. He died shortly after this. I have a 1938 obituary (Joe N.'s) that lists a sister, Mame Donley of California as a survivor.

Then Maggie married a Will Barrett. They had one child, who died at birth. Most of the time Will Barrett was good to Maggie. Then he took to drinking and tried her, so one of the Bridges boys told him to he had to leave. Maggie did not marry again.

Anyone with any information regarding these individuals, please contact me!

Jeanne Wainwright Park October 27, 2000

Lucinda WAINWRIGHT married Hanson JOHNSON in St. Helena parish in 1829.
I have my Wainwright lineage, but need more information of Hanson
Johnson's parentage. I only know one of their children and he is
Charles Milton born 1834. I would like to know about other children.
In reading these queries, I see Dykes mentioned. Lucinda WAINWRIGHT'S
father, Thomas WAINWRIGHT had as surety for his wedding bond in Amite,
Ms one William DYKES. Later, after death of Sarah Cockern, his first
wife, Thomas married Prudence DYKES by whom he had three children. Any
onformation appreciated--but the Johnson is what I am most anxious
about. Jeanne Wainwright Park
