I9493: Phillip ABSHER (5 Mar 1890

Notes

Robert de Bruges (Castellan of Bruges 1046, emigrated to Normandy 1051)
This connection (showing that this Robert may have been a younger son of Lambert I, Count of Louvain) has been suggested by 'Baronage' (see www.baronage.co.uk) after consideration of heraldic and other clues.
m. Emma of Brittany (dau of Allan, Earl of Brittany)

"a son, Brusi, who as far as can be found was the first to be called "Robert de Brusse". BRUSI (Robert de Brusse) married Emma of Brittany, circa 1020 A.D. in Normandy."

Confederate Soldier to be Honored in Pearl River County, Mississippi

At 2 PM, Sunday, November 9, 2003, the Gainesville Volunteers, SCV Camp 373, Pearl River County, will honor Pvt. William G. Wheat, Co. C ("Mayers" Company, raised in Harrison County, MS), 9th MS Cavalry, with a tombstone dedication and Confederate Memorial Service. The Vols ask all interested and available Compatriots to please attend and take part. We particularly need riflemen for the rifle salute. (A cannon would be nice, if you just happen to have one lying around! We have the crew to fire it!)

The VA tombstone was kindly obtained by Hon. Andy Kincaid, President, Joseph Wheat Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution. The SAR and the SCV have formed a mutually beneficial partnership in Pearl River County to honor the county's veterans.

The Old Wheats Cemetery, where the ceremony will take place, is maintained by Hon. Mr. Horace Wheat. Besides Confederate William G. Wheat, the cemetery is also the final resting place of a Revolutionary War Veteran, a veteran of the War of 1812, and James Wheat, who was also in the 9th MS Cavalry, CSA. The cemetery was the site of a hugely successful, multi-Camp memorial service this past Memorial Day. Several newspapers and WLOX-TV covered that event.

Local media will cover the upcoming Confederate Memorial event. There is the outside chance that WLOX-TV will be there.

The memorial service itself will be a traditional SCV Memorial, featuring salutes to the US, Confederate, and MS flags, the reading of Gen. S.D. Lee's Charge to the SCV, a brief history of the 9th MS Cavalry, unveiling of the tombstone, the laying of a wreath at the gravesite, the firing of a rifle salute, and, possibly, the firing of a cannon salute.

Again, the Gainesville Volunteers would like to invite all interested SCV Members and their families to this memorial service.

Compatriots interested in participating in the event should arrive by around 1 PM at the Old Wheats Cemetery, located on the west side of Hwy. 43, about Â ¾ of a mile north of the junction of Hwy. 43 and Hwy. 26 in NW Pearl River County at the Crossroads Community (which is little more than a sign by the road).

From Poplarville, take Hwy. 26 west approximately fifteen miles to the junction of Hwy. 43 and 26, then turn right and look for the Old Wheats Cemetery sign on the west/left side of the road.

From Boglausa, LA, take Hwy. 43 approximately five miles to the junction of Hwy. 43 and Hwy. 26, then turn left and look for the Old Wheats Cemetery sign on the west/left side of the road.

From Picayune, take Hwy. 43 north approximately twenty miles to the junction of Hwy. 43 and Hwy. 26, then continue north, looking for the Old Wheats Cemetery sign on the west/left side of the road.

From Columbia, take Hwy. 43 south approximately thirty-seven miles and look for the Old Wheats Cemetery sign on the west/left side of the road. If you come to the junction of Hwy. 43 and Hwy. 26, just turn around and go Â ¾ of a mile back north.

A good showing of uniformed Compatriots would be most impressive! Ladies and children in period attire would also add to the atmosphere! Of course, period attire is absolutely not required!

If you don't have a rifle but want to come uniformed and just stand with us in the ranks of SCV Members honoring this CS soldier, then please come on out and help make this a most impressive showing of troops! We'd love to have you there!

Non-participating Compatriots and family members are asked to bring a lawn chair and personal refreshments.

For further info, please contact Adj./Ed. Jim Huffman at [email protected] or Comdr. Russ Foster at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Jim Huffman, Adj./Ed.
