My g-grandfather came from
VA in the late 1820s probably by the Wilderness Road to Nashville and then
the Natchez Trace to Natchez. In the 1830 MS census of Natchez there
is a George W. REDMAN listed, and I would like to ask if any one is researching
this person.
My George, on October 17,
1830, married in Avolleyes Parish, LA. I believe that my g-grandfather
came from VA to LA via Natchez, but can't make the link for sure.
Can anyone help me with this puzzle?

her brother, John C. SCHWARTZ. They also took in a young girl to raise
as their own named Elizabeth (Lizzie) SAX. I don't know what the circumstances
