Re: KAUTZ-D Digest V03 #7 Hi, The Family
History Library has the Baden Emigration records
on microfilm and these can be ordered through
your nearest Family History Center. Check under
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
in your phone directory. You can also order indexes
to the various US ports, such as New Orleans, etc.
Were these people still living in 1900, because that
census gives a year of emigration, which in most
cases is accurate? I hope that some of these
suggestions are helpful to you. Karla Nurnberg

in Sumner County on 9 July 1858. I don't know who
her parents were, but the Stark and Primm
families were associated in Stafford County,
Virginia, before
coming to Sumner County, Tennessee. John
Primm Stark was the son of John Carter Stark, Jr.

Organized in Tennessee latter part
of 1863. FIELD OFFICERS
Colonel-Thomas J. Downey Lieutenant
Colonel-Cyrus F. Jackson Major-
George T. Armstrong Colonel R. D.
Mussey, Commissioner for the
Organization of Colored Troops,
in a report dated October 10, 1864,
stated that organization of this
regiment was begun at Shelbyville,
Tennessee in September, 1863, soon
after the battle of Chickamauga; in
March, 1864 it reported to Lieutenant
Colonel J. L. Donaldson, Chief
Quartermaster for the Department
of the Cumberland, at Nashville, for
duty in his department. On April
30, 1864, with Colonel Thomas J.
Downey in command, it was
reported in District of Nashville,
Post of Nashville, under Brigadier
General R. S. Granger. On June 15, Col.
Donaldson wrote Major General
W. T. Sherman: "Captain Mussey
informs me that General Lorenzo
Thomas has ordered the 15th
and 17th Colored
Regiments to Bowling Green. These
regiments are here on fatigue
duty under my orders, and I cannot
possibly spare them. Please
countermand the order or I shall be
paralyzed; as it is, I am struggling to
keep my head above water." What the
result of this appeal was is not known,
as the next record of the regiment found
Colonel Downey in command at
Springfield, Tennessee, on
August 31, with the 15th, under the
command of Major (later Lieutenant Colonel)
Cyrus F. Jackson, as
the only regiment stationed there. Colonel
Mussey stated that in September or
October, 1864, some recruits
from Ohio were assigned to the regiment.
The regiment continued to be reported at
Springfield until April 1865; at first under
Lieutenant Colonel Jackson, later under
Captain (later Major)
George T. Armstrong. Reports indicate
that during this period it did guard duty
on the Edgefield and
Kentucky (now Louisville and Nashville)
Railroad. On December 23, 1864, Brevet
Brigadier General I. L.
Donaldson was authorized to withdraw
a portion of the 15th from the Edgefield
and Kentucky Railroad for
duty in Nashville.
No reports of the effective strength of
the regiment were found. The closest
thing to such a report was in a letter
from Major General George H.
Thomas to General Sherman, dated
October 21, 1864, in which he stated
that the 15th and 17th, about
1200 strong, were guarding the
Commissary Depots in the Nashville District.
On February 28, 1865, the regiment was
still reported at Springfield, with Captain
Fielding L. Davies in command.
On March 8, Colonel A.
Smith, at Clarksville, was ordered
to relieve that portion of the
15th from duty on the Edgefield and
Kentucky Railroad between Clarksville
and Bowling Green Junction, so that
the guards between Springfield
and Bowling Green Junction could be
strengthened. On April 14, 1865,
the regiment was relieved from duty
on the railroad and ordered to report
to Brevet Brigadier General J. L.
Donaldson at Nashville.
On August 20, Major General George
H. Thomas reported that the 15th was
still on duty at Nashville, guarding
public property, and added:
"They had better remain here, as they
now know what is expected of them,
and are becoming reliable.
" Dyer's Compendium states that
the regiment remained in Middle
Tennessee until mustered out
of service on April 7, 1866.

COMMENTS: Hi John, I haven't made the
reunions for many years. Are you still arranging
them. I laid-off research for a few years and
have just started
again. I'm finding some good stuff. We'll have to
modify Kenneth's earlier work. I have found that
Barnhardt and John Jacob were brothers and
probably first cousins once removed with Perry,
Chauncy,
and Chambers. It also appears that there were two
migrations. First Barnhardt and Salome went to Ohio
(possibly with her brother- John Berrier). John
then went on to Indiana before 1838 and Barnhard
remained in Ohio until the early forties.
The other group didn't go west until the fifties.
I am trying to find if
this is the trip that John's son Barney took
on his way to Michigan. I'm still trying to
identify my Great=
Great-Grandfather's place in this mixed
up family. Anyway, thanks for the web
site and all of your work in the past

L.A. THEN AND NOW "Violent Fact and
Fiction Merge at Rancho Guajome"
By CECILIA RASMUSSEN,
TIMES STAFF WRITER If ever a house
was populated by fictitious characters as
well as the real personalities that may
have inspired
them, it's San Diego County's Rancho
Guajome. The rancho, steeped in historic
lawlessness, owes its name
to the Luiseno Indian word whakavumi,
meaning "the frog pond," and much of
its reputation to the
ruthless soldier who built it. The rest of
its reputation comes from the writer who
made it famous. Cave
Johnson Couts was a pioneer who fought
off cattle rustlers, squatters and all other
comers with gun, guile and
muscle. He also had a taste for drink that
proved fatal to foes--and, eventually,
himself. Born in Tennessee
and educated at West Point, he came to
California as an Army lieutenant in 1848,
a year before
the gold strike, to help wrest the state
away from Mexico. He made a fortune
feeding gold miners with
his cattle. He also kept diaries that became
one of the most important published
historical sources of
information about California during the
Gold Rush. These days, the volumes
are in the custody of the Huntington
Library. Three decades after Couts' adventures
made him and his home famous,
Helen Hunt Jackson came
calling. After a dust-up over Indian servants,
Couts' widow sent her packing.
Once she'd read Jackson's
1884 best-selling novel"Ramona"--the
"Gone With the Wind" of its day--she
threatened to sue. Couts
stood 6 feet 3 and weighed more than 200
pounds. He survived gunfights, Indian
battles and a lackluster stint
in the military before settling in Southern
California. In 1849, he was part of
an escort for Army wagons
from Monterrey, Mexico,to California.
As the Army rode through San Diego,
two daughters of prominent
ranchero Juan Bandini leaned on a porch
railing--as the story goes--to watch the
troops. The railing gave
way and the girls fell. Couts had the
presence of mind to spur his horse over
to one of them, Ysidora Bandini,
and help her to her feet. Two years later,
they were married.
Later in 1849, as California was
preparing to become a state, Couts
was appointed to the statehood
convention. He also surveyed and
mapped the town of San Diego, where
he paid tribute to his future father-in-law
with some place names,
such as Juan Street.
In 1851, Ysidora's sister, Arcadia Bandini
Stearns, and Arcadia's husband, prosperous
rancher Abel Stearns, gave the couple
the deed to the
2,219-acre Rancho Guajome as a wedding
gift. Today, its remaining 165 acres
are part of Guajome
Regional Park, about three miles east of
Mission San Luis Rey in the wilds of
Oceanside. Rangers can
discuss the history of the state, the
family and the rancho's supposed
links to the fictional half-Indian
maiden Ramona
(to which many Southern California
sites lay claim).
Couts used the gift as a beginning to become
a land baron. He resigned from the Army and
soon acquired other San Diego properties,
including the area
surrounding Mission San Luis Rey (but not
the mission itself) and, later, nearby
Buena Vista Rancho.
But an Indian war loomed. Less than a year
after his resignation, the Army recalled him
and promoted him to lieutenant colonel.
Leading a group of
soldiers and volunteers, Couts quashed
the rebellion and captured
Antonio Garra, a bitter Luiseno who had
sworn vengeance against all white settlers.
Couts served as prosecutor and judge
at the trial of Garra,
who was convicted and executed by firing
squad. Some Indians resented Couts,
but more than 300 Luisenos
who lived in the shadow of Mission San Luis
Rey helped him build the 22-room
Rancho Guajome in exchange
for permission to live and hunt on his land.
The rancho was almost a town; it even had its own
general store and jail.
In 1853, Couts moved into Rancho Guajome
with his wife and two children. (The couple
eventually had 10, eight of whom survived.)
He was appointed
U.S. Indian sub-agent, with duties that
included responsibility for the welfare of local tribes.
That's about when his relationship with the
Indians went from tentative to terrible. Twice
, a county grand jury considered charging
him for beating two Indians with a strip
of rawhide. One man
eventually died from the beating, but
no charges were filed.
By the early 1860s, floods and a long drought
had led to a breakdown of the cattle industry,
which almost ruined Couts. Far grimmer and more
ruthless was the smallpox epidemic of
1862-63. Couts kept tabs on it in his diary:
"Smallpox is quite prevalent--
six to eight per day are being buried in S.
Juan Capistrano--Indians generally.... I vaccinated the
whole rancheria at San Luis some six weeks
since, and hope they may escape,
thus saving our community
of the terrible disease."
Fearful that the malady would spread,
Couts determined to prevent burials of
its victims in the mission cemetery,
which he owned. His edict
would lead to bloodshed. On Jan. 13, 1863,
family and friends of a well-known
vaquero and cattleman,
Don Ysidro Maria Alvarado, arrived at
the cemetery for his burial. Couts'
younger brother, San Diego
Deputy Sheriff William Blount Couts, rode up
with two of his brother's vaqueros
to prevent it. As the Alvarado family
lowered the coffin into the grave,
Blount Couts told them that they could
not proceed. Shooting at Burial One
member of the burial party, Leon
Vasquez, was outraged.
Shovel in hand, he rushed at Blount
Couts, who was armed with a
double-barreled shotgun. Blount Couts
shot him to death. As the
unarmed burial party fled in
fear, one of Couts' vaqueros fired
again, wounding two men. "The
whole affair was the act of a
moment, the shots and deaths--all was
muy pronto," one of Alvarado's
sons, Tomas, later wrote.
Cave Johnson Couts felt responsible
for what had happened and tried to
deflect some of the blame. He wrote
his brother's defense attorney:
"The fellow killed is really not worth
noticing. He [Vasquez] is known
as a bad character." Three months
later, San Diego County indicted Blount
Couts for murder. His attorney cited
a variety of problems with the
paperwork and succeeded in having the
charge dropped, despite depositions
from eight witnesses.
Smallpox had subsided by the spring
of 1863, but Couts' bad luck continued.
In 1865, while visiting the San Diego
city plaza, he happened upon Juan
Mendoza, his former ranch foreman,
whom he had fired. Mendoza had
threatened to kill Couts on several
occasions. But when Mendoza
spotted his former employer, he
turned around and walked in the
opposite direction. Couts showed
no such compunction: He flew
into a rage and shot Mendoza in the back
with a double-barreled shotgun,
killing him. Los Angeles
County Judge Benjamin Hayes, a friend
of Couts, defended him, contending
that the victim was a known
robber and troublemaker and that his
client had merely acted in self-defense.
Couts was cleared on
grounds that one of the jurors was
not an American citizen. Fatherhood
wasn't as forgiving as the law.
In 1868, Couts' 15-year-old daughter,
Tonia, ran off with two of his vaqueros.
He tracked down the threesome and
enrolled her in an Oakland convent.
By 1870, he believed she had reformed
and allowed her to return home. Couts
was to be rudely disappointed.
He caught Waldemar Muller, a schoolteacher
he had hired to tutor his children, climbing
out of his daughter's window in the middle
of the night. Muller tried to run, but Couts,
drunken and enraged, peppered him with a
load of buckshot. Muller was critically wounded;
Couts was arrested and severely beaten by the
sheriff. Even Couts' attorney scolded him in a
note: "I fear your excitability from drink--as
a friend, let me ask you to keep sober. It is
the only way to get even with the miserable
judge and Irish sheriff." The case was
dismissed. But the lawyer's warning about
alcohol was on target. Couts died four years
later at age 53, his health compromised
by years of heavy drinking.
Ysidora, known throughout the county for
her hospitality, continued to run the
rancho with the help of her eldest son, Cave
Jr. In 1882, while Helen Hunt Jackson was
touring Southern California missions
and Indian reservations, she visited
Rancho Guajome. She returned a few months
later, staying for several days and
locking horns with Ysidora. As the two
women prepared to hear Mass in the chapel,
Indian servants brought them chairs from the
house. Jackson objected to the
servants' sitting on the floor.
Ysidora worried that she would incite a riot
among the servants and asked her to leave.
"Ysidora was very demanding on her servants,
and the two women had unmendable differences
about race and class," says Rancho Guajome senior
park ranger Jake Enriquez.
In 1884, when "Ramona" was published, Ysidora
was outraged at what she perceived to be an
unflattering portrayal of her and her son. She
began talking tolawyers, but Jackson died
before a lawsuit was filed.
Reality vs. Fiction Ysidora does resemble the
fictional Senora Moreno, Ramona's Spanish
guardian and rancho matriarch, Enriquez tells
visitors, just as bits of Ramona's home
resemble Guajome. Ysidora
died in 1897, leaving the rancho in the hands of Cave Jr.,
who continued his father's wanton ways. The land
remained in the family for 122 years, until 1973,
when San Diego County purchased it for more
than $1 million. Cave Jr.'s three elderly grandchildren-
-whose grandmother was Cave Jr.'s servant
but never his wife--got the money.

The first 25-30 years of his life, he was George W.
OSBORNE, son of Hiram and Nancy Osborne,
born in Greenville, Green County, Tennessee,
22 June l839-42, living in Tennessee,
Georgia and Alabama. For the last 64 years
of his life, he was George ANDREW CLOUD,
Pope County farmer, Methodist preacher,
husband and father of ten or possibly
eleven children. His many descendants
are left with a legacy of admiration,
respect and a MYSTERY. Why did
he change his name and at times the
year of his birth? He received mail
under both names, his alias was no secret
and both names are on his death certificate.
The mystery remains, WHY? The following
information was obtained from letters to
George from his brother Thomas, his sister

PICTURES OF GUAJOME
Rancho Guajome celebrated its 150
years celebration in August of 2003.
Formerly attached to Mission San
Luís Rey, located in the northern part
of San Diego County. Two mission
Indians briefly owned the 2,219-acre
ranch. It then came into the hands
of Don Abel Stearns. Don Abel
Stearns gave the "square league"
of land to his sister-in-law Ysidora
Bandini for a wedding present. The
Rancho was built on a 2,219 acre Pio
Pico land grant, and at one time El Camino Real.
The hacienda was built in 1852-53,
by Cave Johnson Couts for his wife
Ysidora Bandini. The adobe grew
to include a school, chapel, store,
carriage court, bakery, blacksmith's
shop private chapel, irrigated groves,
and an inner courtyard. It was built
in the classic style that expanded to
a 7,000 square foot, 22-room hacienda.
The Adobe is now owned by the San
Diego County Departments of Parks
and Recreation and is located at 2210
N. Santa Fe Ave., Vista, CA. If you
would like to see photos of the Rancho,

DINING RANCHO GUAJOME
By: TOM MORROW - Staff Writer
NORTH COUNTY TIMES
On Saturday evening, I had the privilege
of dining with Vistaís Kirk Richardson
and his family at the 150th anniversary
dinner honoring the founding of Rancho
Guajome Adobe. Kirk is the great-
grandson of Cave Couts, the man
who built the historic ranch. During
a pre-dinner outdoor ceremony, Kirk
presented to county officials the
surveyor's transit of his great-grandfather
to be added to the adobe's many historic
artifacts. Kirk reckons the instrument
is the very same Lt. Couts used on the
U.S. Army's surveying party in 1849-51,
which established the international border
between Mexico and the United States.
FIRST ROADS THROUGH TENNESSEE
First State-Directed Road in Tennessee
Country -Avery Trace
http://www.southwestpoint.com/atrace.htm
If the new country, now Tennessee,
were to prove inviting to settlers, then
roads had to be made in order to enable
people to come into the new region.
North Carolina, the mother State,
gave encouragement in this matter
in 1787 by ordering a road be "cut"
from the south end of Clinch Mountain
to Bean's "lick." Peter Every, a hunter
in the Washington District, was selected
as guide to direct the blazing of the trail
through "The Wilderness." This "trace"
crossed Clinch River, and entered the
Cumberland Mountains. It twisted up Crab
Orchard Mountain, passed "Standing Stone"
(now Monterey), and followed a rambling course
by way of Fort Blount on to Nashville.
Over this trace came a number of immigrants
to the Cumberland Settlements in 1788. In that
company were such notable persons as General
William Davidson, Judge
John McNairy, and Andrew Jackson.
At first, the "road" was merely
a trail that had been marked by
blazing trees to guide the pioneers
on their way to the Cumberland
Settlements. For a number of years,
only pack horses could follow the
trail. But about 1795, it began to be
called a "wagon road." As rough and
winding as the road was, it was the
chief passage to the Cumberland
Country until 1797. This road is
generally known as the North
Carolina Road, or Avery's Trace.
In 1794, the territorial Legislature
ordered a road to be built from
Southwest Point (now Kingston)
to the "settlements" on the Cumberland
River in the Mero District. These
settlements later became what is now Nashville.
