jht33584 — 2009-09-26 00:17:58Z

Were Cader Stephens and Lavina Ham of Lowndes and Brooks Co., Ga., the parents of Lavina M. Stephens b-1844 in Ga.? She married William H. Dykes in Jackson Co. Fl., in 1865 and was in Berrien Co. Ga. in1880-1900. She widowed between 1877 and 1880 when her last child was born. Her children were Wm. Henry b-1870 Fl., died in Brooks Co. in 1925, having mrd. Eula Tyler, Charles C. b1875 Fl. Mary b-1867 Fl., Eliz. b-1866 Fl., Anne b-1876 and Alice b-1877. Having seen your mention of the Stephens in Hamilton Co. , Fl. I feel certain there is a connection to my Grt Grt Grandmother Lavina M. Stephens Dykes. As, I have for years questioned her connection to Cader and Lavina Stephens and the Hamilton, Fl. Stephens. Please contact me direct @ jt33584@yahoo.com.

Oh, sorry, I just saw you mentioned Jasper. My father, Henry Knowles Jr was born in Jasper, FL in 1914. His father, Henry Sr was the Marshall as was killed in Jasper in 1924. I have a Hamilton County history book and will check for the names you mentioned.

Hello,
I'm searching for my grandfather's geneology. His name was Samuel Dewey Taylor born October 17 1898. Not sure if he was born in Florida. However, his family lived in Jennings Florida. His father's name might have been George and mother's name might have been Mary. His siblings included Jessie, Ruth, Oscar, Lewis, Bill and Glen. All last name Taylor. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Searching for DeVanes in Hamilton Co.

Jeanmead — 2008-10-15 17:02:38Z

I am looking for North Florida DeVanes, particularly those who descend from Benjamin Franklin DeVane, 1796. This Benjamin was born in Bladen Co, NC, later moved to Lowndes Co, GA, then Quitman, Co, GA, Madison & Taylor counties, FL, then finally to Plant City, Hillsborough Co, area. He had 6 sons, all who fought in the Civil War:
John Thomas DeVane, b 1815 Bladen Co, NC
William H DeVane, b 1817 Bladen Co, NC
Samuel Rownan DeVane b 1824 Bulloch Co, GA
James S DeVane b 1827 Bulloch Co, GA (remained in Taylor Co)
George DeVane b 1832 Shady Grove, Taylor Co, FL (killed in Battle at Gettsyburg)
Benjamin Franklin DeVane, 1835 Shady Grove, Taylor Co, FL (died in Savannah Ga, while walking home to Plant City after the end of the Civil War) - my gg-grandfather.

Hamilton Co: I have other DeVanes in Hamilton County placed but I can't link these.
b 1850 R DeVane (m) in 1885 FL Census - 25, farmer
b 1851 FM DeVane ( I think this is Mitchell), in 1885 Fl Census - 34, farmer
b 1874 Willie Devane (s/o FM above) in 1885 FL Census
b 1879 George DeVane in 1900 Census living with grandfaher Cecil Tuc\rkett
The seven DeVane children listed below were living with aunt & uncle SS & Anna Smith in 1910 &1920 Census.
1998 Mable DeVane in 1910 Census
1900 Roy DeVane in 1910,1920 & 1930 Census - is this Leroy M b 17 Feb 1900 in FL
1903 Jamie/Jasmine DeVane (f) in 1910 &1920 Census
1904 Paul DeVane in 1920 Census
1906 Daniel DeVane in 1920 Census
1909 Lizzi K DeVane in 1920 Census
1911 John L DeVane in 1920 Census

b 1848 William D DeVane b, GA in Hamilton Co 1900 census, ma Frances E ??;
with the following children listed:
Harlie DeVane, son, mw, b June 1881, 18
Shep Devane, son, wm, b Mar 1883, 17
Fuller DeVane, son, wm, b June 1882, 12
Lester DeVane, son, wm, b June 1889, 10
Lee Clark, dau, wf, Jan 1888, 12
Maud DeVane, dau, wf, Feb 1891, 9
Is the same Wm D DeVane who married Sarah Lewis in 1873? I don't think this can be a first and eecond marriage, as the birth dates of children with both women are intermingled.

Re: Obituary of Perry Hall

MickeyLee99 — 2008-09-09 04:46:26Z

I do not have any other information on Perry Hall. While researching an ancestor of my husband's, I copied a microfilmed page from the Jasper News. Perry Hall's obituary was also on that page, and I thought it might be helpful to a future researcher if I put it on the internet page.

It does seem to match the person you are looking for. You might want to check the Hamilton County censuses.

I did not find him listed in "Cemeteries of Hamilton County, Florida by W. S. Hodges. Since you have the name, date and location you might be able to get a death certificate.

Re: William Yeates

jericjr — 2008-07-31 17:36:45Z

Hi Grace. George Washington Peterson and Elizabeth (Betsy) Ann Yeates married in 1850 in Clinch County, GA, then moved to Hamilton County, Fl, by 1860. Their children were James, John and Mary. Uncle Wash joined the CSA, went to Virginia and served honorably. Something happened when he came home in 1865 and moved to Volusia County, Fl, close to Barberville, Fl, by 1870 alone (Elizabeth stayed in Hamilton County). His older son by Elizabeth came to Volusia County by 1880 and lived close to Uncle Wash. Uncle Wash married Jane Hall in 1877 and had children Robert, Agnes and Duncan. Uncle Wash died in 1906 and is buried with Jane, Robert, and Agnes in Purdom cem. Barberville, Fl. Elizabeth is supposedly buried along with the other Yeates in Pinellas County, Fl, I believe. I haven't confirmed her marriage to James R. Sauls or where she is buried.

DBarbret1 — 2008-07-28 22:27:15Z

My Ancestor is Julie Barberet Hartman. Her husband Frank Hartman died 1-24-1924 at the Hamilton County Home (City Infirmary) now the Drake Center 151 West Galbraith Road
Cincinnati, Ohio 45216-1096. I would like to find out where they buried there dead. He was 93 years old and outlived everyone that new him. His death records has unknown on everything.1920 census shows him and inmate of the city infirmary. 1910 census shows he was in the Union Army and a widower living on East Mulberry in Cinn. 1880 census has Frank and his wife Julie my ancestor living on East Mulburry st Cininnati Ohio no children He a cigar maker. Any information will help. They were both born in France 1830's the 1910 census shows Frank born in Germany but I believe that to be a mistake. The 1920 census has it in France.

The catholic chanclery is searching for Julie they are having no luck finding anything on her. HELP !!!

I have made an attempt to locate places on the internet where cemetery information is available. The Hamilton County page is on MyCemeteries.com Florida page http://mycemeteries.com/USAFL.htm

Please do not be upset if a cemetery is misspelled or is otherwise inaccurate from your viewpoint. It was listed because it contained information that may be helpful to anyone looking for family in Florida.

I would appreciate assistance in making sure the listing is accurate and complete and especially if more information exists online that I am unaware of.

Please send me corrections and additions to T42@MyCemeteries.com or just reply here.

I'm sorry it took me so long to answer you. I feel hornored that you are researching my ancester's service record.
In his Pension Application # A08523, states that Captain Hull's Company, Georgia Infantry, C.S.A. In another place in his application it is hand writen in Home Guard Of Nassau Co., Fl. As you probaly know the Florida Pension Applications are on the Internet. Since I don't have a scanner yet I can't send you copies my copies of his Pension Application there seems to be some confusion about his Unit, but he did get a pension. I have found The Museum of Southern History very hepful in finding information on the solders and their Unites, they are run by the Sons of Confederate Veterans 904-388-3574 they are here in Jacksonville. I sent to the National Archives for G.W.B. Muster Roll Cards and was told that they had been lost.

George Washington Batten had four brothers that fought for the Confederacy I have all of their Muster Roll Cards if you are instrested. I decended from George Washington Batten's brother Robert Neal Batten(my Greatgrandfather).
Since you have been to G.W.B's grave is there a Confederate Head Stone. If not I would like to try to get him one.
If you will send me your E-Mail address there is some other
information, about him and his family that I will send you. This will not let me attach them.
I am very proud of my Confederate ancesters, and enjoy shairing information about them.
