I was afraid to since no one else was. I am looking for Waldrop and Webb, in the Many area.

I received the information from a WWW sleeper search and would be interested in corresponding with anyone familiar with this family. Excerpts: In 1881 the New Orleans & Pacific RR survey was made the RR town of Robeline. Robeline, named after one of the early settlers, is a modern railroad town. As related in the history of Natchitoches and Sabine parishes, settlements were made close by as early as 1694-1711, May 1, 1881 Robeline was surveyed for C. Chaplin and additions made by N. STAMPER. N.A. STAMPER's store room was built in Dec. 1881. In 1884 STAMPER's steam mill & gin was constructed. I believe in 1884, the business center area moved from what was called the Boulevard to Texas Street. My gr-grandfather is Nathan "E" or "A" STAMPER and I've tracked him to Bienville Parish , probably ca. the turn of the century or shortly thereafter. I have an article that puts him in Louisiana in a place called Marshfiled(no longer exists as a town but is some sort of boundry markin now) where he supposidly opened a store there.

I was wondering if there might be anyone out there who could help me learn to HELP MYSELF... I have a bunch of ancestors who served in the Civil War (Confederate Army) from Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. Thomas McMILLAN, born in AL and served in company F of the 36th AL Infantry, and Asa LANGTON who served in company E of the 11th Louisiana Battalion and Company D Infantry Conscripts, Crescent Regiment (LA), and finally James N. HARRIS who served in a unit from Texas (I have several possibilties for which unit he served in). I have tried looking these units up on the Web, but without any success, and also tried the many-volumed official records at my local state university library. Of course, the index was gone! I would like to know if there are any books and/or Web links that may have some information on these units. If anyone has any helpful hints for me on researching these units, I would appreciate it very much. I have also thought to search for some reenactors who are "in" these units, but don't know how to find them. My thought there was that some of these folks may have already done some research themselves on these units. Thanks for your help, in advance! sue h Subj: Re: [LASABINE-L] LANGTON, McMILLAN, HARRIS - CSA Units Date: 98-03-08 05:48:14 EST From: ZIPP60@aol.com (ZIPP60) To: mooneye@capital.net CC: LASABINE-L@rootsweb.com My fellow compatriots, The following links should help you in your endevors to learn about your valiant ancestors who fought so long ago to preserve individual states rights.

GANDY Harvey M. gandy, a prominent farmer and president of the Police Jury, was born in Bibb county, Alabama, in 1847, and is a son of Harvey M. and Mary Caroline (Martin), whose deaths occurred in 1847 and 1854 respectively. His grandfather was John gandy, a native of Georgia and his grandmother was the daughter of John Martin, a planter, of North Carolina. He was reared by an uncle, Wiley R. Gandy, but received only a limited education. When 14 years of age he joined Company b, Forty fourth Alabama Infantry, which was assigned to the Army of Virginia, participating in the greatest battles of that famous army. He was wounded at the battle of Chickamauga and incapacitated for duty for several months, and during his service he was twice made a prisoner, but each time was paroled and returned to his command and was a sergeant when General Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House. After the war he returned to Alabama and in 1868 came to Sabine parish, being married in 1872 to Mary J., a daughter of Elijah Self, she being born in this parish and dying eleven months after her marriage. Mr. Gandy's second union took place in 1874, his wife being Mary Caroline Sibley, a daughter of William and Minerva Sibley, who were born in St. Helena Parish. Six children were born to them. Mr. Gandy's third marriage took place in 1888 to Winnie, daughter of I. A. and Matilda Addison, the former born in St. Helena and the later in Sabine parish. To Mr. Gandy's last marriage a son and a daughter have been born. He owns a fine farm near Negreet and is one of the most progressive and substantial farmers of the parish. For more than twenty years he has served as a member of the Police Jury and a large portion of the time as president of the body, and has rendered his parish most valuable services. He is held in the highest esteem by his fellow citizens for his conservative judgment and counsel, unpeachable integrity and withal a most genial gentleman. Despite his advanced age, he takes a live interest in the affairs in his community and parish. Gaytha USGenWeb Archives: Sabine Parish, Louisiana T... Subj: [LASABINE-L] H. S. Kennedy Date: 98-03-19 00:11:56 EST From: LaFamTree@aol.com (LaFamTree) To: LASABINE-L@rootsweb.com H. S. KENNEDY Mr. Kennedy (Uncle Hugh) was a citizen of Sabine parish from about 1860 till his death a few years since. It was said of Uncle Hugh and another worthy old citizen of Pleasant Hill that they were in the habit of sallying out of a morning and indulging in a little nproarous profanity before breakfast, as a constitutional health measure. Aside from a few harmless eccentricities of this kind, that served to accentuate his individuality, he was a man of social disposition; and, possessing a remarkable memory, was full of interesting reminiscences of this section, extending from the time that he met Sam Houston of Texas on the streets of Many to and including the latest happening of local or national politics. He was of markable personal appearance, his head being almost entirely bald. It was full of sound sense, however, and with an Irishman's wit and knack of expression; but for lack of opportunity, he might have been a Grattan or a Curran in oratorical power, He was, besides, a man of high character, and the worthy ancestor of some of our best people.
