Re: Research on John Milliken/Milikin (1820s)

khunter08 — 2009-10-30 20:52:03Z

Eddie,
It's worth a look-see. It's possible he may be one and the same. The John I'm looking for had only one daughter (to my knowledge) and her son or grandson eventually was the governor of LA (John Milliken Parker).

What info I have is at home, but I'm looking to see if John/Johnny Milliken was a descendant of Charles Millakin. I believe John was originally from KY.

Thanks for your help!
Keith

Hi. If you still need it I have information on a Johnny Millikin, who owned a plantation in East Carroll Parish.

Re: FORT MIMS - Survivors or Victims - 1813

gbarrs123 — 2009-09-29 16:14:14Z

Yes. I have a copy of this book and while it is very detailed and informative, there was no information which might make a connection to the Dismukes family.

I trying to find out what original sources David Mason might have used to include this surname on his list.

Re: FORT MIMS - Survivors or Victims - 1813

sbmoore_1 — 2009-09-28 23:32:37Z

The best book on the subject is Dr. Greg Waselkov's A Conquering Spirit: Fort Mims and the Red Stick War 1813-1814.

Re: FORT MIMS - Survivors or Victims - 1813

gbarrs123 — 2009-09-28 23:01:38Z

A number of websites and books cite a list compiled by David P. Mason of families either at the fort or relatives of people at the fort. Mason wrote "Five Dollars a Scalp: The Last Mighty War Whoop of The Creek Indians" and "Massacre at Fort Mims". I do not know which publication contains this list.

I am researching one of the surnames on the list"Dismukes".

Do you have access to either of Masons books? Does he cite his source for inclusion of the Dismukes name on the list?

I am most anxious to learn how this family is connected to Ft. Mims as it may yield so much more about the family.

You could write to the National Headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution and ask for the lineage papers of the any Dale men or women who were involved in the American Revolution.
Also, I know that Betsey Dale Holleman, and her husband, John Holleman, are presently residing in the Natchez, Miss area and that John Holleman is practicing law in Concordia Parish, Louisinaa, and also there are some Dale family members residing in Natchez, MIss, maybe you could try to contact one of those members and also you could contact the Daughters of the American Revolution Chapter in Natchez, MIssisisippi or the chapter in Corncordia Parish, Louisiana, which is Vidalia, Louisiana,
Hope that this information helps you,

Ancestry.com. Louisiana Statewide Death Index, 1900-1949

Vital records can be great sources of genealogical information. Besides providing the name of the person whom the record was created for, vital records can provide a wealth of other information. Birth records at a minimum will generally include the name of the child, the date and place of birth, and the parents' names. Often birth records will include the race of the parents, their ages, occupations, birthplaces, and marital status. Death records at a minimum will contain the deceased person's name, and the date and place of death. However, they often will also include the cause of death, age at time of death, place of birth, parents' names, occupation, name of spouse, name of the person giving the information, and the informant's relationship to the deceased. Information found in marriage records can range from just the bride and groom's names and the date and place of marriage to including the bride and groom's ages, birthplaces and dates, their residences, and their parents' names.
To obtain copies of vital records after 1914 you can write the Louisiana Vital Records Registry at PO Box 60630 New Orleans, LA 70160. For more information about how to obtain copies of Louisiana vital records visit the Louisiana Vital Records Information website.

I need a grave lookup for John Robert Bartholamew or John Robert Parker. I was told he was killed in 1945 over a card game. I have little to no info on him. I was told he is buried in Ferriday Cem in Vidalia, Concordia Parish, LA. I think if I can get a photo of his grave this should give me the name he went by and may help me find something on him for my son's side of the tree. I was told he married a Annie Beatrice James in 1932 - 1933. They had one son Robert Elvis Bartholamew (Buddy) born 12 May 1934 (my ex father in law). Buddy was murdered last Oct 08 in Fields, LA. and up until then I didn't know his sons knew nothing about their Grandpa. I don't know where and can't seem to find any info on him.

If you don't know and are interested, e-mail me at sbburns@aol.com
By the way. I graduated from Natchez High in 1958 and I remember you as a Junior that year.

Aunt Myrtle had been in the hospital in Natchez for some time; during that time Jane collapsed from a brain tumor while at the doctor's office complaining of a headache.

Looking for information on James W. Tucker who married Mary Hester Headrick. Possibly married in Concordia Parish, as he lived at Jeffries Landing in 1912. Lived around Jonesville,Concordia Parish, LA when their son was born in 1914. Registered for the draft in 1917 and stated residence was Serena, Concordia Parish, LA. Was a fisherman. Died 1918 - 1919 in the flu pandemic. Haven't been able to locate a grave, death cert or marriage record for them. Am told by his grand daughter that James was buried in a vault above ground.

Hester Headrick remarried Robert O. Davis abt 1926 and had a daughter Lilly Nell. They are in Franklin parish in 1930.

Any help appreciated as the Tucker line is my direct line and this is the only sibling of my great grandmother who died without a death certificate in 1917.

Ravenswood Plantation?

gpalmero1 — 2009-06-21 20:19:22Z

I am looking for a plantation that (in 1873) was located on the shores of Lake St. John in Louisiana. My great-great-grandmother, Ella Lucretia Sirmon, daughter of James S. Sirmon, was living on this plantation in 1873 when she was married to my great-great-grandfather, J.R. Palmero in St. Mary Basilica in Natchez, MS. A witness to their marriage (and I think a relation by marriage to Ella's father) was J.K. Guice. On the record of the marriage found in the Basilica records, the priest who married them wrote that "the partner (meaning Ella,) is living in Louisiana, on Ravenswood Plantation, on the banks of Lake St. John." I would appreciate any information on Ravenswood Plantation (Or if no such plantation exists, any plantation on the banks of Lake St. John), and/or on any of the people I mentioned. Thanks!
