      COl. William Basil Wood

      I am trying to re-locate a newspaper article from about 1888 in which Col. (& judge) W. B. Wood was passing through a town (Columbus GA, if I remember) on legal business, and he granted an interview to a reporter (from an Atlanta paper, as I recall). The article is focused on the drunkenness of a Confederate general, on duty, and the efforts to arouse him and remove him from likely capture, and the curse of drink in the service. Does this ring a bell to any of you and can you help me re-locate this interview source. I believe the general involved was George Crittenden or William Carroll and, and the occasion was either at Corinth of Fishing Creek. Thank you. sjb

      Hello, Thank you for responding. I'm still here. I'm not the most adroit at this paperless, internet world, and seem a bit over challenged at reaching you through this webpage, after my first 3 attempts, but I can be reached at drsjoeb@gmail.com as well.

        Discussion 
        I am trying to find information on Samuel Vaughn, Pleasant Vaughn, a young child, Annie Houston, and a 9 yr. old boy said to have been killed in a hunting accident, 1800's. They are buried on land owned by family members. Thank you.

        James Beckham

        Discussion 
        I'm looking for the burial site for James Beckham. His death is listed in the Alabama Mortality Schedule February 1860 at age 50. He was the father of Lucinda Catherine Beckham Webb and Joseph K Beckham. He married Diana Johnson on Dec 12, 1842. They had the following children: Charles, Elizabeth, Maria or Mariah, LA, and John W. I've found James on Tax Lists in Wayne TN in 1836, 1838, and 1840. This is all I have found for James Beckham. I don't know the mother of Lucinda and Joseph. Lucinda is my 4th grandmother.

        Elijah Burns (Burness, Barns)

        Discussion 
        I found My great-great grandfather, Elijah Burns (born abt 1822 in South Carolina) , on 1850 Lauderdale, Alabama census. It lists his wife, Elizabeth (born in Virginia 1825-26); their first child, Robert Burns was born in 1847; I have searched for marriage verification to determine Elizabeth's maiden name, but cannot find it anywhere; I have found his "Burns" spelled many ways but all other info matched; Any information on Elijah and Elizabeth Burns would be so very helpful. Thank you; Teresa Oliver
