| Civil War ancestor from New Orleans Saturday, November 22, 2008 8:10 PM From: I have looked high and low for info on Wm. F. Perry who joined the infantry for La. during the Civil War. He apparently was born in Maryland, but was residing in New Orleans during the war. He enlisted at Camp Moore in 1861 and I do have from Footnote.com and family (verbal) history the battles he was in, including Gettysburg where he was severely wounded (he had an arm amputation after that battle). But what I am trying to find is why he was in N.O. since he was from Maryland and whom his parents were (both listed as from MD. in census info he gave in years after the war). He for some reason moved to Columbus, Georgia after the Civil War. Here he worked as a clerk in a dry goods store and married in 1870 to a Mittie Bussey (I know through fam history as Mattie Elizabeth Bussey). I am searching for any info or family out there with a history of Perrys from Md. to Louisiana. Thanks for any info. |

New members and visitors to Louisiana Genealogy Blogs
May 28, 2009 by Louisiana Genealogy Admin| I’d like to welcome new members to the Yahoo Group and say thanks for the following cities/towns recent visits to the blog this week from Missouri, Texas; Biloxi, Mississippi, Huntsville, Alabama; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Sumiton, Alabama; Beaumont, Texas; and Yazoo City, Mississippi.
I’ve heard of the city or town of Louisiana, Missouri, but I’ve never heard of a Missouri, Texas! That was a treat. I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. I spent my weekend searching local graveyards and cemeteries for a 3rd great uncle’s grave. I couldn’t find him so I placed a call to the cemetery, who said that they recognized the name and have seen his grave on occassion. The cemetery said that they would locate him on a cemetery plot map for me and I am waiting to hear back from them. I will likely call back today to see if they’ve looked up his location in their archives. The cemetery is split into three sections and is rather large, so I’m sure there are several books of plot information to look into for locations. I hope to know soon. My 3rd great uncle had no immediate family in the 1930’s and he was buried by members of the Eagles. |

Did you know that there is a Digital Library of American Slavery? Well, the library boasts over 2,410 entries for the state of Louisiana from 1775 – 1867.
Underwritten by a “We the People” grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Digital Library on American Slavery is a cooperative venture between the Race and Slavery Petitions Project and the Electronic Resources and Information Technology Department of University Libraries at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The Digital Library offers a searchable database of detailed personal information about slaves, slaveholders, and free people of color. Designed as a tool for scholars, historians, teachers, students, genealogists, and interested citizens, the site provides access to information gathered and analyzed over an eighteen-year period from petitions to southern legislatures and country courts filed between 1775 and 1867 in the fifteen slaveholding states in the United States and the District of Columbia.

Sometimes when you run up against a brick wall, you may have to go a long way in a parallel or perpendicular path to get around the brick wall. True in physics, true in life, true in genealogy. In illustration of that point, we’ve been trying for a long time to get past the brick wall represented by my great-grandfather, Richard William Gines, who was born in Bossier Parish, Louisiana in about 1860. He lived most of his life in Shreveport, Caddo Parish, and presumably died there between 1900 …. more

Caddo Indians
May 20, 2009 by Louisiana Genealogy AdminCaddo (contracted from Kä’dohädä’cho, ‘Caddo proper,’ `real Caddo,’ a leading tribe in the Caddo confederacy, extended by the whites to include the confederacy).
A confederacy of tribes belonging to the southern group of the Caddoan linguistic family. Their own name is Hasínai, our own folk.’ See Kadohadacho. – Caddo Indian History
Caddo Indian Divisions
“On June 25-26, 1835, some 489 Caddo gathered at the Caddo Agency seven or eight miles south of Shreveport on Bayou Pierre and on July 1, 1835, they agreed to sell to the United States approximately one million acres of land in the area above Texarkana, Arkansas, south to De Soto Parish, Louisiana (Swanton 1942). Two chiefs, Tarsher (Wolf) and Tsauninot, were the leaders of the Caddoan groups present at the land cession.
Present also at the land cession was their interpreter, Larkin Edwards, a man they regarded so highly that they reserved him a sizable piece of land (McClure and Howe 1937; Swanton 1942). Further; the treaty reserved a sizable block of land for the mixed Caddo-French Grappe family. Descended from a Kadohadacho woman and a French settler, Francois Grappe had served his people well. His efforts to protect not only the Caddo, but also the Bidai and others in East Texas, from American traders had resulted in his termination as chief interpreter for the American agents. The Caddoan people continued to respect and honor him.
The Caddo were to be paid $80,000, of which $30,000 was in goods delivered at the signing, and the remainder in annual $10,000 installments for another five years. Immediately Tarsher led his people into Texas and settled on the Brazos River; much to the chagrin of Texas authorities (Gullick 1921). Another group, led by Chief Cissany, stayed in Louisiana. They lived near Caddo Station in 1842 (seven years after the land cession). Texicans actually invaded the United States to insist that the Caddos disarm, the rumor in Texas being that the American agent had armed the Caddo and made incendiary remarks regarding the new republic. The Louisiana chiefs offered to go to Nacogdoches as hostages to show their good faith, but the Texicans refused them on the grounds it might mean recognition of Caddoan land rights and polity in Texas (Gullick 1921).
Eventually these Louisiana Caddo left-their credit was cut off by local merchants, their payments ended, and the United States protection was failing-and headed for the Kiamichi River country in Oklahoma. The Caddoan presence in Louisiana, after a millennium, or more, was over.” — The Caddo Indians of Louisiana
View a transcript and a three page .jpg images of a 1904 document of the land transfer.
“On May 19, 1836, members of the Kiowa, Comanche and Caddo tribes attacked Fort Parker. According to historian John Henry Brown, the attack killed or seriously wounded seven of the residents of the fort, including the Elder John Parker and Silas Parker, the father of Cynthia Ann. Five captives were taken during the attack including Cynthia Ann and her brother John.
History.com explains that kidnapping was not uncommon during attacks in this time period, and also not uncommon was the use of ransom for return. After the Fort Parker kidnappings, most of the captives were eventually returned for ransom, but Cynthia Parker, who was 9 at the time, remained with the Comanche. According to Innerspace, Parker was given to a Tenowish Comanche couple and was raised as a Comanche. ” — On This Day: Cynthia Ann Parker Kidnapped

Footnotes on Bonnie and Clyde

Last year, I blogged a newspaper article by Floyd Largent who wrote a two part series on Bonnie and Clyde complete with tombstone photos. LSU Special Collections has more information on audio tape about Bonnie and Clyde, too, listed in their index of “finding aids” to special collections.
