Seeking information on Obediah DRISKILL, born 3-19-1783 in Virginia, came to Louisiana in 1818. Lived in an area that is now in Bienville Parish, near Driskill Mountain. His son, Legross DRISKILL, born 1816 in Tennessee, lived here, as well. Both moved to Union County, Arkansas about 1836, Obediah died there in 1843. Legross moved on to Texas about 1853. I believe they were accompanied by families named THOMPSON (Creed, Judith Ann), YOUNG (William), DEGRAFFENREID (?)

GAMMON, SMITH -- Seeking additional info on Silas H. GAMMON (c1794-1868) and wife Sarah SMITH (c1800-c1863) who settled in Claiborne Parish prior to 1850 census. Their sons, John G. (c1823), Wiley B.

DREW-SCALLORN
Connee Kroeger clbkroeger@dpmicro.net Sat Dec 21 17:11:19 1996
My ancestor, Joab SCALLORN, was born 06 Jan 1823, probably in Claiborne Parish, where he grew up. His parents were John SCALLORN and Jane Hays DREW, who obviously divorced after his birth. They both appear later in Claiborne Parish married to other spouses. I have a lot of information on the DREW family, but I lose John SCALLORN. I think he is the same as the John SCALLORN in Jackson Parish in the 1850 census. If so, his second wife is Elizabeth? Does anyone know Elizabeth's last name or where John SCALLORN died? I know he had died by 1851 when Joab relinquished rights to his property and then moved to Grimes Co., TX. Would like to hear from anyone interested in these families.

SALLIER
Dorothy Sallier Colvin kb5xv@linknet.net Sun Dec 22 13:19:14 1996
We are trying to establish the connection between Louisiana and France of Charles SALLIER (founder of Lake Charles), my paternal great...great grandfather. I was able to copy a genealogy chart in Chambery, Savoy, France in 1995. However, I cannot find the direct link between these SALLIERs and those in Louisiana. I also visited towns and cemeteries in Tournon, Albertville, Annecy, and other small towns in Savoy, France. I will appreciate any assistance you can give me. Best Regards,
