Steven MausertCovington Civil HistorySat Dec 30 09:14:41 2000 Homer,Thanks for reference points. This one has nothing to do with my earlier search on the Balkoms. Though we have found Balkoms (Ballom, Baulcom) in the 1860 and 1870 Covington Censuses, this relates to another family story that I am researching and I am trying to get a feel for what the civilian environment was really like in Covington County during the CW. A story I read on the Ward site about Unionism in this area prompts me to investigate such history further.Thanks,Steven"Ward Raiders" Ann Compton Robinson, Sat Dec 30 15:28 Covington County, AL History Steven Mausert, Sun Dec 31 16:01 Ward's Raiders Homer Jones, Sun Dec 31 08:10 Ward's Raiders Steven Mausert, Mon Jan 1 09:22 Ward's Raiders Homer Jones, Mon Jan 1 09:53 Ward's Raiders Steven Mausert, Mon Jan 1 10:15 Ward's Raiders Homer Jones, Mon Jan 1 10:47 Ward's Raiders Steven Mausert, Mon Jan 1 17:26 C.S.A.
