WATSON - Would like to make contact with others researching the Watson families in St. Helena Parish, La. My great-great-grandparents, William Watson and Celia (@Selah) Watson, married in St. Helena Parish in 1821. Was he the son of Sanuel and Jane (?) Watson and the brother of Artemus Watson? She was the daughter of the widow Dicey Watson. Who was her father? Who was the Sampson Watson who signed the marriage request of William and Celia Watson.

Parker HAYS born in South Carolina about 1800 was the father of John A. HAYS born 15 Feb 1822 in Mississippi. Who was John's mother? Parker HAYS' wife as listed on land documents dated 1837 in Washington Parish was Rachel DYKES. On succession records of Rachel DYKES' father (Isaac DYKES) in St. Helena Parish, there were five of Rachel's children mentioned but John was not included except as an assignee of Mary Nixon. Parker HAYS later married Eliza DAY. I think he had a first marriage to John A. HAYS' mother. Who was she?

Barry Morgan Tue May 26 21:31:34 1998 --- MILLER
I am looking for information linking one of my grandfathers, VALENTINE MILLER, a resident of Rapides Parish in the 1850 census to LAWRENCE MILLER, a resident of St. Helena Parish from circa 1800-1840. Valentine MILLER married Mary ??? and had children named Daniel, Lawrence, Minerva, Jane Elizabeth, and Samuel W. (there may have been others). Succession records in St. Helena Parish indicate that Lawrence had a son named Valentine but I have no documentation that proves he is the same one that later lived in Rapides Parish. Valentine's daughter, Jane Elizabeth Miller, married my grandfather, Joshua Cole. Valentine Miller appears in the 1830 St. Helena census next door to Lawrence Miller. I found no Valentine Miller entries for 1840 in Louisiana census data. In 1850 he appears in Rapides Parish and in 1860 he appears in Rapides Parish with what appears to be a second wife named Sarah and a son named Thomas. I would appreciate any information that proves both Valentine Millers are the same and that he is the son of Lawrence Miller of St. Helena Parish. Also, what was Mary Miller's (Valentine's wife) maiden name. Any other information on the ancestors of Lawrence Miller is also desired. Thanks, Barry
