Winn Parish As I Have Known It (Articles No. 173 & 174)

by Harley B. Bozeman

For the past several years there is hardly a week that I do not get a letter
from someone asking for information about some old time Winn Parish family who
lived here as far back as the Civil War days.

Many times I can give these people no help at all, prior to the burning of our
old courthouse and all its records in 1886, going back to the Civil War days
was impossible, there just were no public records about anything or anybody
here in Winn Parish.

The only official record of Winn Parish during the four years that this area
of Louisiana was controlled by the Southern Confederacy that I know exists is
the tax index book of 1864 by John O. Morris, compiled when he was tax
assessor and collector for both Winn and Jackson Parishes.  Hasson Morris, the
grandson, has this 1864 Winn Parish Tax Book.  Hasson has made it available to
me.  For it I am printing a list of over 600 Winn Parish people who were
assessed and paid Confederate taxes in 1864, that's 96 years ago.

Below are the names of Winn Parish taxpayers listed in "The Index of Tax
Assessments of Winn Parish.  October 13, 1864" by John O. Morris, Esq.,
District Tax Assessor for Winn and Jackson Parishes, during Civil War days,
when the parish seat of both parishes was apparently at Louisville
(Gansville).  Louisiana was a member of the Southern Confederate States. 
(Note: I think Mr. Bozeman assumed that Louisville, later Gansville, was the
parish seat at the time he wrote this due to the assessor being headquartered
there.  This was not the case as Winnfield has always been the parish seat of
Winn Parish)
