1. [SouthernTrails] Re: Cherokee Foot Path [1]
Can anyone shed light on how to access wagon train information? I have a host of relatives who left the Carolinas in 1841 to relocate in Benton County (now Calhoun) in north Alabama? Thanks for your help. Rebecca Clough Harpole

The Leopoldville was a passenger liner converted into a allied troopship but was Belgium registry. I have seen H.M.S. prefix indicating Her Majesties Ship but should be S.S. Leopoldville. It was a 500 foot, 11,500 ton converted passenger liner built in 1928. It was torpedoed by German U-486 off Cherbourg, France. Within three months, the U-486 was sunk by British destroyers in the North Sea with the loss of all hands. The 66th Division left Southhampton and was assigned the task of removing 55

That is probably why the Navajo Code Talker information became available. The Top Secret military information started becoming available to the public in 1991, or fifty years later. JC
5. [SouthernTrails] TN to AL and finally to TX [1]
I have one family that did quite a bit of traveling and trails are of a great interest to me. Perhaps if I retrace a route I can then find new answers to so many of my own questions on this family. Joseph Holden and his large family for some reason up and moved from Rutherford County, TN to Lauderdale County, AL between 1847 and 1849. His oldest children apparently decided to stay behind. His younger ones remained in AL until they were grown. Joseph's son, Calvin C. Holden moved after the civil war (betwe

Question - why was a ship with a name 'H M S' a Belgiam ship? Does that not mean Her Magesty's ship? I was always under the impression that denoted British? Educate me please. I am pretty good on planes but not ships. Thanks for the help. I have seen some small bits on this sinking but was in on the last of what was on television. Quinta The WW II Top Secret information was sealed for 50 years according to law. In 1994 the top-secret military data became available to the public. We also obtained the Top

SNAFU My brother, Pvt. JT Coffee and his friend Pvt. James Gunderman were to be listed as AWOL by the company commander of Co. C, 2d BN, 503d Parachute Infantry Regiment, that was stationed on Biak Island, Southwest Pacific Area. However, Lt. James Calhoun, their platoon commander, refused to make an AWOL report until a search was made for them. Lt. Calhoun took a patrol into the interior of Biak Island searching for the men. The search party went to a hilltop a few miles into the interior of the is
9. [SouthernTrails] Butterfield Stage and Mail Route [1]
This is not genealogy trails related but it is wagon and stage line trails related. I have done some diligent research and plotted the route of the Butterfield Overland Mail Route across Texas from Oklahoma to Franklin (El Paso) Texas. The Butterfield Overland Mail was used from Sept. 15, 1858 until March 1, 1861. The War Between the States required that the US Government to move the line out of Texas. The Confederacy then took possession of some of the stage waystations and placed a garrison at those lo

12. Re: [SouthernTrails] Trail Driver' Museum/San Antonio, TX [1]
The Pioneer Hall near the Witte Museum in San Antonio, Texas is dedicated to early Texas culture and trail driving. The Trail Driver's Monument is in front of The Pioneer Hall. Abner P. and Cornelia (Murphy) Blocker were the parents of three noted cattlemen and trail drivers of Texas. They drove longhorn cattle from their ranches south central Texas to railheads and the northern cattle ranges in Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming. They drove cattle north on the Western Trail and the Potter-Blocker Trail

My great grandfather William E. Gilmer (1848-1914) just walked away from the Civil War in 1865. He enlisted into the Jasper County Georgia 14th Infantry Regiment as a drummer boy at the age of 13. I supposed Bill Gilmer hitched a ride to Texas sometime between 1866 and 1872 because he was in Coffeeville Texas by 1872.That is where he met my great grandmother. Bill Gilmer was the only member of his family in Jasper County Georgia that came to Texas. He may have been a deserter. Many men and boys were

Does anyone on th list know about a Trail Driver's Museum in San Antonio, TX. My neighbor says amny year ago she and her husband visited it. She would like to know if it still exists since she has some items from the Blocker family (they were apparently well known in the area)that she may want to donate. I would appreciate any information and will pass it on to her. Judy

Phil, You actually got in on the first of the thread. Thanks for that additional information. I have not been researching the Wingos of Missouri, though I was aware that one of the families went that direction. My great great grandparents, he was a descendant of Abner, went to Red River County, Texas. Then most of them went to West Texas. They had a very large family, as did their children and grandchildren. It is interesting that you also have Ballengers in Boone County, MO. I li

However, I think in Calvin's case it's correct because interestingly, his 1st cousin also deserted the very same day. They were in the same unit. You're certainly right though. We w

Rebecca, I really hope someone can give you the information you are needing. Sounds as if our families were either one and the same or traveled together. My WINGO ancestors left Spartanburg, SC to Benton Co. AL then in 1860 to Red River County, TX. PS...group, I am missing Charles Wiley! Has anyone heard from him? Pat
22. [SouthernTrails] Re: Cherokee Foot Path [1]
Hello All, I missed the first of the thread, but there are Wingos from Spartanburg County who ended up in Boone County, Missouri, along with my Lindseys. Some of those Wingos are still there. The time frame was 1820 to 1835 or so. My Lindseys got to Boone County, Mo in 1831. I have always guessed that the best route would have been through the Saluda Gap and down the Tennessee River, then the quick jog up the Muddy Mississippi to the (even) muddier Missouri. I have reason to believe that the Wi

The Home Guard units were also known a "heel-flies" to people in the area. Most of the ex-Confederate Home Guardsmen took the oath to the Union after hostilities ended and full amnesty was granted by Federal authorities. We are not sure whether my great grandfather took the oath. He never mentioned that he took the oath. I suspect it was only offered to men that surrendered or were captured by Federal authorities. He said the Home Guard never left the state. He mentioned that the Home Guard escort

Some how records got messed up. He was arrested and charged with being AWOL for 19 months from APO 96345 (Viet Nam). I went up to Fort McClellan and got it straightened out and he was returned to his post in Fort Benning. I don't think I have ever been so mad. Betty.
