CAUSSEAUX CEMETERY

Wanted information about or photos of the Causseaux Cemetery which was located near Cherokee Sink. I use the word "was" because all evidence of the cemetery is now gone. It is believed that vandals threw the stones into the sink hole or otherwise destroyed them. Any list of the graves or photographs would be of great help. The Causseaux family members, the Wakulla County Historical Society and other interested persons would like to see that the people buried here who were so important in the early history of Wakulla County are not forgotten.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Allen SPEARS family
My 2-great grandfather Allen Spears was apparently born in Florida circa 
1821 just before the US took firm control. I have no idea where in 
Florida he was born. He married Sarah Ridley in Wilkinson County 
(probably near Irwinton), Georgia, in 1836, and he and his wife has 
settled in Thomas County, Georgia, by 1840.
Sarah Ridley was 1/4 Creek Indian, and I think that Allen may have been 
part Creek or Cherokee.
I don't know much about the Spears family. My great grandmother, Sarah 
Spears, had 4 brothers. Three of them served with the 29th Georgia 
Infantry Regiment in the Confederate Army, and all three died in the 
war. One brother, John A. Spears, was one of the handful of survivors 
of the 50th Georgia Infantry Regiment who survived to surrender at 
Appomattox. In 1882, in Thomas County, he was appointed guardian to 
James M. Carter, my great grandmother's son by her first marriage to 
James H. Carter who served in the 5th Florida Infantry Regiment and died 
at the Union POW Camp at Elmira, NY, in 1864. James M. Carter's bother 
Henry C. Carter served in Gamble's Florida Light Artillery and the 
Kilcrease Florida Light Artillery, as an artificer (skilled blacksmith), 
and was the only one of 4 sons of Herring Carter, of North Carolina, 
Leon County, Florida and Thomas County, Georgia) to survive the war. 
The Carters were part Indian... and it is believed by some that they may 
have been part African.
One of Sarah Spears sisters, Nancy, married Amon H. Thompson, an orphan 
from Hamilton County, Florida, and they seem to have moved back and 
forth between Alachula County, Florida, and Thomas County, Georgia. The 
Thompsons are buried at Boston, in Thomas County, Georgia.
Both of my great grandparents (Sarah Spears and William A. White) were 
dead by the time my grandfather White was 5 years old (1885). So far as 
I know, since his mother's death no one in our White line has known any 
Spears. I have oral history that connected great grandma Sarah Spears 
to Florida and perhaps to owning land in Florida... but again, I have no 
idea where. All of her life she showed up in censuses in Thomas County, 
Georgia.
But my grandfather White had a sister and a daughter who married Harveys 
from Arran in Wakulla County, and I notice from the _Wakulla Digest_ 
that some Spears lived there too. Another sister of my grandfather 
White married Jim Trull who was from Wakulla County too, but I'm not 
sure where in Wakulla County he lived.
I'm just wondering if there is a connection between my 2-great 
grandfather Allen Spears and the Wakulla County Spears... and I have 
particularly wondered since seeing photos that included many of the 
Spears in the _Wakulla Digest_. Can anyone help me with facts or 
speculation?

CLOUD / DONALDSON

My gr-gr-grandfather was Ransom Cloud. He is shown on the 1850 Decatur Co. Ga. census with Moses Oliver and Zilpha.{Moses Oliver married Zilpha Cloud in 1831}. In 1854 Ransom married Mary Ann Donalson, daughter of James W. Donalson. Ransom and Mary Ann are shown on the 1860 and 1870 census of Decatur Co. Ga. In 1880 Ransom is shown with a new wife, a lot youger than he, and two very small children. I would like to know what happened to Mary Ann, did she die or were they divorced? Who was Ransom's second wife? Census only gives initials. When did Ransom die and where is he buried? Did he have another name? I can find no other records of him. Also, who were his parent's? All census ages for Zilpha make me think she was too young to be his mother. Thank you for your help!

    SYFRETT /MILLER /SHEFFIELD

    I'm looking for information on the Syfrett's who settled in the western part of Wakulla Co sometime after 1825. They were not in listed in the 1825 census of Leon County so I assume they came there sometime after that. My grandfather was Daniel Webster Syfrett and thus far I have not been able to go back beyond him. I and others who are researching the Syfrett's believe his father was the George Syfrett listed in the 1840 and 1850 census but have not been able to make a direct connection. Other names are Miller and Sheffield. As I live in Texas, research in the local area can only be done when we take vacations in FL.

    ROBERTS / CAPPS

    My grandfather, ARTHUR LEONARD ROBERTS, was born in Wakulla County in 1877. His mother, Emma E. CAPPS, B: 1855 was from Alabama & his father, William Thomas ROBERTS B: 1851 somewhere nearby in Florida. I would like to find out more information on both of these family lines. I believe Emmas mother was named Sarah but do not know her maiden name. Emma I believe was one of four girls. At the time of the 1870 census of Franklin County, it shows mother Sarah with 4 girls - Emma E, Martha J. Mary and a Susan. No mention of William or a male name. Anyone knowing more about these family lines, please contact me via my E-Mail.
