aadancer: yes ..plenty of pics... but now the local Archaeological bureau has to be notified and they will determine the worthiness of each...yes St Croix My mother remembers living on the land...doesn't remember the sugar mill but knows her father dabbled in the sugar cane business .. he was a farmer AND a fisherman.

Khathu: hello everyone

Ingrid_Doweary: Hey Khathu.

Selma: aadancer will they do an archeological dig on the site?

aadancer: hi khathu

Ingrid_Doweary: Chances are Aadancer the mill is listed in a municipal directory.

aadancer: I'm not sure...we were sent a list of "certified" researchers for the VI to determine anything. we're planning to build so we're hoping this doesn't drag out too long.

Ingrid_Doweary: I could appreciate that, aadancer.

aadancer: In the VI , more so under the Danish,there was a business listing...I only found out about it in Julyand didn't have time to look at it in July or August. but we were able to find out the history of ownership of the property before my great grand father. Oh yes Ingrid!!

Ingrid_Doweary: Looks as though, I'm identifying more documentation that my husband is a direct descendant of a USCT. John Dowry, 6th Regiment Heavy Artillery (MS).

Selma: Thats great Ingrid

aadancer: What is USCT?..United States ????

3rdthawkins: wow, great Ingrid colored troops

Ingrid_Doweary: United States Colored Troops.

alt: jhonora.. checked the Warrick guy out in the census 1910 he was in Xenia, OH... 1920 he was in East St. Louis with the Urban League & 1930 he was teaching at Wilberforce UNiv. .. in 1918-1920 he was in WW I ... so I'm not sure when he was in NO teaching school and at what level.

aadancer: Nice find..

daviss: nice find ingrid! Congrats

aadancer: hmm ..educated too!

3rdthawkins: now, was this oral history Ingrid that you're proving, or is this a new discovery?

Ingrid_Doweary: It's funny because I have been examining the 1910 Federal census record and the family property deed for over a year now. 3rd these documents consist of a 1910 census record, several compiled military records and a property deed transferred from the soldier's father to him.

3rdthawkins: ahh, ok, wow, that is a great discovery

Ingrid_Doweary: New discovery, 3rd, analyzing the documents from a different perspective.

3rdthawkins: right, I see, cool

Ingrid_Doweary: Thanks for the congrats.

Khathu: Nice Ingrid

alt: Ingrid_Doweary, so this USCT CW vet should also be found on the 1890 Veteran's Census schedule. which is on Ancestry.com

Ingrid_Doweary: Really, Alt? That's worth looking into. Thanks.

alt: yw Ingrid_Doweary

jhonora: alt, (sorry for delay), I will check for him in the old school catalogs

vkn: Ingrid is this your guy ? Dowry John 26 Battimore, Maryland MS Natchez 1863 6th U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery

alt: no problem jhonora... I'm thinking now he was there in NO probably between 1920 & 1930.

3rdthawkins: wow vkn!

Ingrid_Doweary: Yes, Vkn. That's him. Several of the muster sheets display different spellings to the surname.

vkn: okies So what are you needing on him

aadancer: Are you the only one in your family aware of him? No one older remembers him?
