In 1860 Census she was in Livingston Parish, 1870 in Tangipohoa Parish. I have been unable to find any records that would help me find her parents. As you see Roxan and Sylvanus moved around Southern La. a bit. I have no idea which, if any, Indian tribe Roxan my have descended from. She probably died in Tangipahoa Parish. Sylvanus had m. again by 1880 Census and was still living in Tangipahoa Parish. I find no evidence that She lived in St. Tammany Parish except in the 1850 Census with Sylvanus. I would appreciate any guidance and help you could give me in furthering my research on Roxan. Best Regards, Ron Buford

Looking for information more on Mrs. Elizabeth Blocker who is listed on the 1864 Civil War Tax List for St. Tammany Parish. How do I get more information about this record. Also would be interested in any record of her children. I found census records of Mrs. Elizabeth Blocker, age 50, living in Travis Co., TX in 1880 in the household of Peter Ault, age 27 b. LA with wife Mary and daughter Anna. Next door was Sarah Blocker Ault widow of Henry Ault, age 27 b. LA living with four children, Carrie, Ida Mae, Peter and Emma. I found a marriage record for Peter Ault and Mary Gatlin in TX. I have reason to believe that Henry may have married Sarah in LA then moved to Texas. I have found no marriage record for them in TX. I also found a Henry Ault listed on neighboring Tangipahoa Parish's 1874 Registered Voters list. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Renona Ault Joplin Austin, TX

My ancestor Reuben BEAVERS was born 1783 in VA. He married Mary HEADEN, daughter of William HEADEN Jr. and Susannah ROBERTSON. Reuben was a witness in GA to the will of William HEADEN Sr. in 1808. Reuben and Mary lived after that for awhile in St. Tammany Parish, LA then moved on to Caldwell Parish. He was the son of Robert BEAVERS and Jane LITTLE. Robert was the son Thomas BEAVERS and Martha (CLACK or CARGILL), Thomas was the son of the immigrant John BEAVERS who was born 1695 in Ireland, and immigrated to NJ. Reuben's son Albert K. BEAVERS (Civil War vet.) was my ancestor. He was married to Sarah L. HARRIS. My query is: Who were Sarah HARRIS' parents. She was born in LA. Who were Jane LITTLE's parents? (born 5 Mar 1750 NJ) Who were Susannah ROBERTSON's parents? She was born 1762 in GA, died bef. 1839 in LA) Did William HEADEN Jr. leave a will? Did Reuben BEAVERS leave a will.

My great grandparents were John STRAIN married to Ellen RAY they had twin girls born 8-13-1865 in New Orleans (per the birth certificate ) named Elizabeth and Mary Hellen Strain. Ellen RAY was from Ireland. We were under the( mistaken ?) opinion for years that our greatgrandparents were John STRAIN and (---?---) DeCoursey. The story being that John STRAIN was the master of a ship that transported immigrants to the US (New Orleans) and that (--?--) DeCoursey was a passnger from France whom he married, even to the fact that she walked with a limp. I am satisfied that both John STRAIN's are my ascedants but where (--?--) DeCoursey fits in is a question, my guess is that she is my GrGrgrandmother, mother of the John STRAIN married to Ellen RAY. FACT;; In the war of 1812 at the Battle of Lake Champlain fought at Plattsburg NY John STRAIN "BOY" was awarded a medal by Captain Thomas Macdonough, Commander of the Squadron. on 14 September 1814 (the medal is in the possession of my cousins CONNOR.) ( Designating John as "BOY" makes me thing he was about 14 / 15 years of age making him born about 1800). As you are no doubt aware the final battle of the war of 1812 was The Battle of New Orleans 1-8-1815 which in my opinion brought John STRAIN to the New Orleans area if in fact he had not come from there previously. My guess is that this John STRAIN married DeCOURSEY and was possibly the parent of the John STRAIN married to Ellen RAY. Any help would be appreciated.
