Ports","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"102-8511","title":"Indian Wars of the American South, 1610-1858: A guide for Genealogists and Historians","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a comprehensive introduction to the conflicts that ensued between Native Americans and their European encroachers from the earliest recorded skirmishes to the last battles only three years before the commencement of the American Civil War. Beginning with the Powhatan Wars of 1610-1646 and concluding with the Third Seminole War of 1855-1858, author Michael Ports has assembled all the pertinent facts related to the scores of battles or campaigns that arose as clashes of civilizations on the advancing frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart One summarizes what we know about the twenty-seven separate and distinct Indian wars in or involving the American South, a region here defined by the four southern colonies of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia; the states that were formed from their original territory, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and West Virginia; and the states of Florida and Louisiana. Ports presents the discussion of each war in terms of background causes, the campaigns itself, and, the aftermath. Whenever possible, the names of the commanding officers, names of the military units, battle locations, numbers of casualties, and dates are included. Each chapter in Part One (e.g., Tuscarora War, 1711-1715; Pontiac's War, 1763; Second Creek War, 1836-1837) concludes with (1) a \"Points of Interest\" section that identifies and illustrates selected national, state, and local parks and historical sites, museums, historical markers, etc., that commemorate the people, events, and places that were part of the wars, and (2) a Further Reading section of selected published works.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Two of this guide is a discussion of the surviving records that document the military and civilian participation in the wars. The first section covers important national repositories like the National Archives, Army Center of Military History, and the Library of Congress. Next comes a description of the archives of the subject eleven states and provides some insight into genealogical research in those states. The third section on records deals with the archives, libraries, and museums of the Five Civilized Tribes, followed by a fourth section devoted to the famous Draper Manuscript Collection. The last section presents other significant repositories, arranged geographically, including genealogical and historical societies, museums, libraries, manuscript collections, hereditary societies, and a few other miscellaneous sources. If your ancestor lived on, or even near, the Southern frontier, the chances are good that he fought in a conflict or he and his family were affected by it. For example, if your ancestor settled in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in the 1750s, it is likely that he or his family were part of the French and Indian War or the ensuing First Cherokee War. Pick up your copy of \u003ci\u003eIndian Wars of the American South,\u003c\/i\u003e and before you know it, you will be packing the car to visit one of the historic sites in Part One where your forebear fought or otherwise took part in American history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael A.

During this census hiatus, every free Georgia man, from 21 to 60 years of age, was subject to the poll tax. All property owners, regardless of age or sex, were taxed for each of their slaves and all of their land and improvements. Moreover, taxes were levied on specific professions, such as doctors and lawyers, carriages, billiard tables, and stock-in-trade.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMr. Ports' transcription was compiled from the microfilm of the original record volumes made in 1958 at the Court of Ordinary in Louisville by the Genealogical Society of Salt Lake City, Utah. Following his introduction and helpful discussions of the pertinent Georgia tax laws and Jefferson County militia districts, Mr. Ports presents his transcriptions in a series of five-column tables. The tables are arranged chronologically by tax year and thereunder by Jefferson County militia district. The first column lists the name of the taxpayer and the second column his poll. An entry of one indicates a male between 21 and 60 years of age, while an entry of blank, zero, or no poll indicates either a female, a minor male, or a male over 60 years of age. The third column includes the number of slaves owned by the taxpayer. The fourth column includes a description of the land owned by the taxpayer, consisting of the number of acres of first, second, or third quality oak and hickory land, and pine land. Each tract usually is identified by the name of a watercourse, adjoining landowner, and original grantor, and occasionally with other descriptors. Most of the tax digests also include lists of those owing taxes, called defaulters. Lists of defaulters usually were published in a local newspaper, often prior to the date of the official tax deadline. Thus, the lists contain the names of persons who had not yet filed their returns, as opposed to actual defaulters.

Within a few years, when its boundaries were formally established, Ohio became the 17th state in the Union, with a population of about 50,000. By 1810 the population swelled to 230,000. After the development of the National Road and the Erie Canal, the original settlers from the mid-Atlantic states (mostly Pennsylvania-Germans and Scotch-Irish), were joined by Irish and German immigrants, expanding the population to 2 million. The records left by these early settlers and immigrants can be found in county courthouses from Washington County (created in 1791) to Noble County (created in 1851), though most of them are centralized under the Ohio Network of American History Research Centers, positioned geographically around the largest metropolitan areas and coordinated by the Ohio History Center in Columbus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGenealogical records for most counties are fairly complete, especially early land records and the quadrennial enumerations, which were taken every four years from 1803 to 1911.

Some of the immigrants turned westward near Fincastle and followed the Wilderness Road through southwestern Virginia into western North Carolina.

The high-quality fertile land attracted hordes of settlers, and the population of Mississippi rose dramatically after the creation of the Mississippi Territory in 1798. The influx of settlers-mostly from Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia-came in two distinct waves: the first was a slow but steady migration until the onset of the Creek War in 1813-1814; the second came after the war, spurred by high cotton prices, the cessions of Native American lands, improved roads, and the acquisition of water access to the Gulf of Mexico. By 1860 its population had increased to 791,305, with slaves accounting for about 60 percent of the total. A discussion of this settlement history is how Michael A.

While some of the veteran's information found in the ordinary's records may be available in other places (e.g., compiled military service records and pension applications), much of it (e.g., some birth dates and places, marriage dates and places, death dates, military service, and detailed descriptions of wounds and disabilities) is unique.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe transcriptions in this book, the first in a series, derive from two reels of microfilmed Confederate records shot at the Jefferson County Court of Ordinary in Louisville; the microfilm itself is available at the Georgia Department of Archives and History and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The first reel is titled \u003ci\u003eConfederate Soldiers List, Confederate Roster 1861\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMiscellaneous Confederate Records\u003c\/i\u003e, and it consists of muster rolls for volunteer companies of infantry raised in Jefferson County, rosters, pension rolls, lists of pension applicants, and various letters and other correspondence concerning the veterans and their widows. The second reel, consisting of county pension rolls from 1890 to 1914, includes five distinct and separate lists: disabled or invalid veterans, indigent veterans, indigent veterans in 1910, widows, and indigent widows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe muster and pension rolls contain detailed information on the soldier's military service, such as date and place of enlistment, promotions, date and place of wounds, date and place of capture, place of confinement, date of exchange, location and service at the close of the war, and date and cause for discharge. One list of invalid pensioners includes detailed graphic descriptions of the wounds received. The pension rolls sometimes include the date and place of birth and the date of death for veterans and widows who died before 1919, when Georgia began recording death certificates. In addition, the widows' pension rolls often include a date and place of marriage. In all, \u003ci\u003eConfederate Records from the Jefferson County, Georgia, Court of Ordinary\u003c\/i\u003e refers to several thousand Confederate veterans and their relations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael A.

The county's Inferior Court, made up of five justices of the peace for the county, tried any civil case except those involving title to land. The Inferior Court had jurisdiction over county business matters, such as care for the poor, building and maintaining the courthouse and jails, building and maintaining roads and bridges, issuing liquor licenses, nominating justices of the peace, performing naturalizations, appointing guardians, authorized indentures, and maintaining a register of wills. The Clerk of the Inferior Court kept minutes of the foregoing proceedings–every one of which places individuals in Jefferson County at a particular point in time–and those minutes comprise the basis for this series by Michael Ports.

According to the statute, county clerks were required to inscribe each freed man or woman by name, age, place of birth, residence, year arrived in Georgia, and occupation. While not all clerks performed their duties to the letter of the law, these source records contain vital identifying information for African-American Georgians long before the Civil War or the watershed 1870 U.S. census. The ensuing registers, varying in their completeness, survive for twenty-one Georgia counties. (Incidentally, the only way to emancipate a slave in Georgia was by an act of the legislature. Antebellum manumissions, though rare, were granted for unusual acts, such as defending an owner's property during a British incursion during the War of 1812, extinguishing a fire at the state capital, and other faithful service.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTranscriptions of the aforementioned registers are available in the series from genealogist Michael A.

He has provided an overview of each register, allowing for variations in their original format, references to any gaps in the registers, handwriting irregularities or peculiarities, and so on. In addition to the required information, a few clerks recorded the registrant's height, weight, skin color, and name of their guardian. Persons of a historical mindset will appreciate Mr. Ports' inclusion in the front matter of the wording of salient Georgia laws from 1818 to 1835 that mandated the registration of free Negroes. These are followed by the Georgia manumission statutes enacted after 1798. Finally–since, in theory, the freedmen and women were required to register themselves every year after 1818–researchers will be able to track the whereabouts or disappearance of individuals over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael A.
