…1, page 48. The fate of the king, Tuskaloosa, is not satisfactorily known; one account stating that he perished in the battle; another that he retired from the city soon after it began. DeSoto had determined to go to the sea at Ochus, now called Pensacola, the capacious harbor there having been discovered by a detachment of his command while he was wintering in Florida. He had ordered vessels from Havana to await him there, with supplies for the expedition; and they were then at that point. But he is thought to have feared a disbandment of the command should…

…a general store; he also owns two mills in Elmore County and one in Crenshaw County, all doing a good business; beside these, he is proprietor of the Woodwork and Manufacturing company of Montgomery and is in every respect a thoroughgoing and successful businessman, esteemed by all with whom he comes in contact.

…Sumter county, until the spring of 1860, when he located in Mobile, conducting private practice until the opening of the Civil war, when he was placed in charge of all the Catholic institutions of the city as medical director, and until the close of hostilities rendered very efficient service.

…the more pressing wants of these indigent jurors. In 1888, a movement was made toward building a new court house, and through the strenuous exertions of the judge the project was carried out at an expense of $10,000. On the completion of the edifice, so much needed, the county found itself in debt to the amount of $2,800, and again the judge used his personal responsibility to secure the amount. The county is now, however, free from debt. While in office the judge was successful in securing many pensions for the survivors of the war of 1812, and freely gave…

…March–April 1765. The British had “acquired” this territory from France in 1763 through the Treaty of Paris, after they defeated France in the Seven Years’ War.

Fort Gaines is an Alabama State Park, and is located on the eastern tip of Dauphin Island, near Mobile, Alabama. In the foreground are the mounts for the barbette cannon, and…
…connection with his extensive practice. So valuable have been his services as a physician that, when the war opened, his neighbors strenuously resisted his entering the army, although he was anxious to do so. To oblige them he remained at home and cared for the sick and destitute without compensation, and he has ever since given his professional services gratuitously to the poor families of fallen soldiers. So boundless is his benevolence, that, although he has no children of his own, he has expended thousands of dollars on the education of the offspring of others – in one instance alone…
…years ago. He lived at Jackson forty years and later was a citizen of Baton Rouge for many years. When the Civil War came Dr. Jones did not enter the Confederate services, he was a Union man and strongly opposed to the war. In fact, he was opposed to all wars, being of the same opinion as the Quakers on that question. Prof. A. A. McGregor, author of the “History of LaGrange College,” wrote as follows: “When Lincoln was elected he (Dr. Jones) felt that emancipation would soon come and he advertised his Negroes for sale.
