Looking for information on Whitney
ERWIN and his second wife, Melvina TRIMM. They
lived in Washington Parish, but some of their children
moved to St. Tammany. Whitney had
about 11-14 children with his first wife. I only know
of Artemis, Lela and Louis from he

married Alfred Joseph

ANDERSON, COOPER, WOODS posted by Leila MAYBERRY Email:
lbmaybe@mindspring.com on Tuesday, August 4, 1998
I'm researching the family of Cornelius
COOPER and his wife, Jane WOODS COOPER.
Jane WOODS was born in Maryland and Cornelius COOPER
was born 1774 in Granville
co, NC. They married there in 1796. They then moved
to Franklin county Georgia and
then were in St. Tammany parish by 1811. Both their
wills are recorded there in 1850s.
Some of their children remained in La. while others
moved to Texas and their son, James
Cooper, and his wife, Sarah, moved to Hancock co, Ms.
( the portion that is now P.R.
co.)before 1850. Sarah may be a daughter of Thomas
or Abraham ANDERSON.
Cornelius COOPER owned land in St. Tammany and Washington
parishes. James and
Sarah were living on this land in Washington co in
1830. I am particularly interested in
verifying whether or not Cornelius COOPER was Indian.
Thank you, Leila Mayberry

Seeking help to identify a group of
people who moved with Alexander GILLESPIE in
1812/1813 from Jackson Co., GA to the Washington Par.,
LA area. Background: Alex.
GILLESPIE & Sarah (his wife) sold land in Jackson
Co., GA in Nov 1811. In Nov 1819
he claimed a section of land in St. Tammany Par., LA
"on which he now resides as an
actual settler" since 1813. He was awarded this land
in Jul 1824: Cert. #344; Sec. 43,
Twp 2 S, Rng 9 E. Alexander appears on the 1820 census
of Washington Par., LA as
Elick GILASPY. He seems to have sold the land and moved
to Copiah Co., MS in Nov
1824. In 1839, Alexander GILLESPIE died in Copiah Co.,
Ms (at the age of 96) at the
home of Mrs. Elizabeth RUSSELL. Other families with
whom Alexander was associated in
Copiah Co., MS were MILLER's, SHAMBERGER's & MOORE's.
Some or all were in
Washington Parish earlier. If you can help connect
any families back to Jackson Co., GA
or know relationships between them, I would be very
appreciative. Bob Martin

CRUMP, RICHARDSON posted by Email: Casper3050@aol.com on Wednesday,
October

I am looking for info on Alfred RICHARDSON.
He was born somewhere in La in 1815.
He married Selena CRUMP and they moved to Mississippi.
I have him in the 1840 Copiah
Co. MS Census. And I also found him in the 1850 and
1860 Censuses of Washington
Parish LA. I know they still lived there in 1870( I
have this census). They had 10 children.
They are Sylvester, Hardy, Leander, Emily, Gabraellen,
Palatiah, Samuel, Eugene, William,
and Angeline. Sylvester is my line. Anyway, I was hoping
to find out who Alfred's parents
were. He has a son named Hardy, so I thought maybe
he would somehow be kin to the
Hardy RICHARDSON in the Washington Parish book. I found
where Alfred was
mentined several times in the History book. I am not
absolutely positive that they are from
Washington Parish, but I was hoping to find that they
moved there to be near family. I don't
know dates of death or where they are buried. Any info
you could give me would be really
appreciated. I was hoping maybe you had run across
them in your research. Thanks. Hope
to hear from you soon. Memry

My name is Debby WEST KING - I was
born in Bogalusa in 1944 at Desporte Clinic.
My families are the WEST and SHOWS. My father was Woodrow
Thomas WEST and
my mother, Ethel SHOWS WEST. My grandparents were Stephen
and Rennie
NICHOLSON WEST and James Aldine and Beatrice CHANDLER
SHOWS. I know
there is a wealth of information particularly on my
SHOWS family as both my grandparents
were active in the Masonic Lodge and Eastern Star.
All are buried at the Ponemah
cemetary. I have done extensive research on both lines
and have quite a bit of information
for any one connected. I would appreciate any old photographs
of my family that may be
available: two that come to mind: My grandmother was
in a commerical for I believe
Breland's feed store on Columbia road - they used to
run that film as a commercial in both
of the movie theaters there - I would give most anything
to have a copy of that - it was
probably 1953 era. Also my father was the butcher at
numerous grocery stores there and
was in the newspaper when National Food Store opened
up close to the hospital where
Magic City Motors was. My SHOWS grandparents at one
time stayed or worked at the
old Redwood Hotel - I have nothing other than my memory
of their stories. I would LOVE
to have a picture of the old Redwood hotel..if there
are any records of the railroad and
lumber company I would love to know how to contact
the people who have this
information. I have pictures of what I believe to be
my grandfather in his early years, but I
can't prove it. Any help would be GREATLY Appreicated!

March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. The Louisiana USGenWeb Project is an extension of the KY GenWeb Project. |
