The following letter was sent to the City of Marianna, then passed on to
the Chipola Historical Association, but nobody at the last meeting was familiar
with the parties named, so we are posting it here in hopes that someone can
assist Ms Garrett: "Do you have any histories on Samuel Cobb
and America Amanda Cobb who came from VA and first settled in your
area with the two sons. That could be 1850s or 1860s. See Census 1860 for
sure, as last 1850 census he was still in VA. Don't know what year they left
VA. He is one of that bunch that settled in GA (two of them). His son, "Phil"
Cobb grew up on their farm later to be in Houston Conty, Dothan, AL.
Aquilla Alexander "Phil" Cobb married Josephine Martin of
Cottondale or Graceville. Will you be able to find Josephine Martin's
date of birth, who her parents were and who, how many sisters and brothers
she had? After Josephine Martin died "Phil" married Genie
Hudspeth--This is her married name. What was her maiden name? He married
her ???1914-1925.If you find them on your census pages of past make me a
copy--up to 1930--any histories on these Cobbs? "Phil" had children
who lived their lives in your area--Oscar Cobb & wife Lillie
arrentine--Cottondale farmers--Sam Cobb & wife Delilah
Kelly--Cottondale-Graceville farmers--Ann Cobb who married
Pharoah Jordan, sold cars in that general area. If any histories found
on any of these families, limit copies to at least six pages for me. Your
fee for this service? Cost of copies of histories and census if any found
on the elder two, Samuel & Phil. Sincerely yours, Flora C.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Joseph Allen Register's
burial place was mentioned in the WPA Vetrans Cemetary Survey for Jackson
county. This is the Crutchfield Cemetery. Maps of the cemeteries surveyed
were not available. It is not on current topographical maps, however, I did
find in on the soil conservation service Soil Survey of Jackson County. I
had heard of it, and Mr. Johns road me around and showed us where
the cemetery was. He was very nice and gave permission for the marker to
be placed near the road. The story is told that the "Crutchfield boys,
destroyed the markers in clearing the land. Daddy's cousin Letsie
JACKSON Fowler remembers as a child going with her mother Fannie Magee
KEITH Jackson to clean the cemetery. Fannie Magee KEITH was
a sister to my grand father John Alton Daniel (John D. ) KEITH and
a daughter of George Washington KEITH and Caroline REGISTER
Keith. Caroline was a daughter of Joseph Allen REGISTER and is
my connection to the REGISTERs. George Washington and Caroline lost
a son, James Allen KEITH, probably as an infant, he could be buried
there. Joseph Allen's second wife Deborah is buried at the cemetery at Collins
Mill Church.
I do not know who else is there. There is a possibility that Christchaney PHILIPS Register, d 25 April 1875, (Joseph Allen's first wife) may be there. George Washington and Caroline lost a son, James Allen KEITH, 6 months, July 1876, he could be buried there. Joseph Allen's second wife Deborah is buried at the cemetery at Collins Mill Church. Joseph Allen's marker has the WRONG date on it. It should be 4 December 1885 not 1883.
I need your advice. I would like to contact any and all folks researching the REGISTER and PHILIPS/PHILLIPS surnames in Jackson, Washington, Holmes, Walton, Wakulla Counties in FL and Henry, Dale, Houston (now), counties in AL, to see if we can sort out the families. This is a large project, but one that could contribute much to North Florida Genealogy. I have made a few finds this year that may help sort some out, but I could sure use contacts.
The REGISTER reunion is next Saturday, October 18, at the Noma Civic Center, Noma, FL. Bring a covered dish for lunch, Livve entertainment after lunch. Thanks, Frances Keith

The Dennard Family has lived in jackson co. since at less 1910, when
my ggf Robert Lee Dennard appeared on Census. however I am having
trouble tracking him before that time. I believed he moved from Texas to
Washington Co. Fl. around 1900 then to Jackson Co. around 1910. I infact
was born outside campbellton on a small farm. I would appreciate any help
you can give. Thanks, Howard

My grandfather Wesley Call Vickers was born in Jackson Co., FL in
1888. His grandfather, James Vickers, came to Jackson Co. in the early
1820's from GA. The Vickers lived off of 77 between Graceville and
Chipley, and most are buried in the Damascus Baptist Church cemetery. Jake
Vickers was on the school board about the turn of the century. I am
researching the Vickers, O'Conner/O'Connor, and
Pelt/VanPelt, surnames. I also have a home page entitled "The
Vickers Family Resource Page" for those researching their Vickers
families in the south. On the page I have the stories of James and Sallie,
Jacob and Addie, and Wesley and Nellie, (g-g-grandparents, g-grandparents,
and grandparents) of Jackson Co. The address is

Please enter the following Surnames with my EMail address:
BELL, HALL, McALLISTER, KIRKLAND, DEAL, LAWLESS These are the main
ones and perhaps others but these will do for now. Thanks for all you are
doing to help others do research. All these have been microfilmed by LDS
and are available for rental thru the local FHC's as follows:
Bell Film #1598470
Deal 1598469
Hall 1598471
Kirkland 1598478
McAllister 1598463
Also they can ALL be found on Broderbund's World Family Tree CD-ROM disk No. 9 ($39.99). As you know, most of my research centered in the SE AL counties of Dale, Geneva, Henry and Houston but spilled over into the connecting counties of AL-FL-GA. There will soon be a copy of these microfilms in the Houston-Love Library in Dothan as soon as I get a chance to run them down and get a little publicity in the Dothan Eagle so people will know they are there for the use of others. I copied ALL marriage licences in those four counties from year one plus cemetery surveys in my efforts to be as complete as possible.
