Re: A.J.Smith / T.K.Smith Red River Campaign

Man, that helps me a lot.I believe Smith arrived near Marksville p.m. hours if it was before midnight ,or after midnight ,does not really matter because nothing was done until the light of day.
On the other locations I'm seeking...this is only my approximations...I do not there exact locations and I appreciate any corrections.
Osborne place=I believe this is a few miles downriver from Alexandria. Unsure which side or exact location...
Wilson's farm= futher downriver from Osburne's...not certain its exact location or what side of the river it is on...is this across Wilsons Point of today ?
Mrs Clara Flowers Plantation=believe it is 7 miles south of Alexandria somewhere around Moreland or Roaslie Plantation...but again not certain.
Gordons= believe this is west of Alexandria, possibly the Texada Bridge on hwy 496, during one of the skirmishes around Alexandria, a confederate force (Steele ?) retreated towards Alexandria from Gordons...again I do not know the exact location.
Wells Plantation- I believe this is one of 2 plantation s./ s.e. of Lecompte,La...but agaian (lol) I'm not certain.
Lodi Plantation= I believe this is either Holloway Prairie,or, the very end of Lodi Road on Bayou Boeuf,and for the last time I,m not certain of it's location either.
If I ever fininsh this project I'm going to be a very smart man ! I will know exactly where,when ,and what my ancestors did many, many years ago !
Thanks to all you guy's...gumbojunkie.
