Dear Mr Murphy:
Your letter of July 29 1992, addressed to the Barbour County,
Sheriff's office or the Eufaula Chamber of Commerce,
was referred to this office for reply. I am enclosing information
on the steamboat Emily which was copied from Perilous Journeys:
A History of Steamboating on the Chattahoochee, Apalachicola and
Flint Rivers. 1828 - 1928 by Edward A, Mueller. This book may be
purchased from the Historic Chattahoochie Commision for $27.95
post paid.
Our staff is not equipped to do in-depth genealogical research.
Therefore, I cannot provide the other information you have requested.

To Apalachicola, have engaged to carry the mail on losing terms,
but it is annoying at the business of the year, that interruptions
should occur in our semi - weekly convenience with the north.
"Now would it not be to the interested convenience of Apalachicola
and St,Joseph that the northern Mail should be brought to IOLA,
tri weekly, in the steamer LEROY, thence by railroad to St, Joseph
and from this place to Apalachicola by stage.
This arrangement in the summer, would give to each place a tri weekly
instead of a weekly Mail. It would establish a constant Stage
communication between the two places, and could be done for the same
sum which is now paid on the present route. We respectfully call the
attention of the Post-Master General to these suggestions, and if
adopted, they would decidedly improve the existing arrangements."19
The Commerce was biult at New Albany in 1836. She was of 124 tons,
115' by 21.5' by 5'2". She had two decks and a pink stern. Registered
at "port of Franklin County, Territory of Florida" (Apalachicola);
in March, 1838, she was owned by Archibald T, Bennett and N. Baker
was the master. Maritime activity in March at St. Joseph was at a
High. During one week, the steamer KINGSTON arrived twice and
departed once (Mobile and Pensacola). The steamer CHAMPION, her
running mate, arrived and departed once. The brig WARSAW arrived
from St. Marks, the brig MARY ELIZABETH arrived from mobile as
did the schooner BODINO from New Orleans. The brig TALISMAN left
for Mobile and Pensacola, and the sloop MARY departed to St. Andrews.
The CHAMPION was a wooden hulled vessel, a sidewheeler, built by
Bishop and Simonson of New York City in 1834. She was of
241 tons, 151'by 20.5' by 8.1'. She had two masts, a square stern,
and a beam engine of 36" cylinder diameter with an 8'piston stroke
built by the West Piont Foundry of New York City. Her first owner
was none other than Cornelius Vanderbilt.
She initially served during 1834 on the New York to Albany route on
the Hudson, but went to Washington the next year, perhaps running
briefly there before going on a Richmond Norfolk run on the James
River in 1835. She shifted to a Baltimore to Richmond run before
going south, being next enrolled at New Orleans in ------
A year later she was to be found at Pensacola where she was on a
Mobile to Pensacola route. She was registered at Mobile in October,
1842, and was sold foreign the next year. being renamed b PETRITA.20
On March 20, the Judah theatrical family left Apalachicola in the
schooner EMBLEM, bound to the south and other engagements.
However, on March 25, the EMBLEM capsized off the Dry Tortugas,
and all on board (except possibly Mrs, Judah) perished. 21
Lola was a busy place for steamboats.
The LOUISA, Odom, and FRANCES, Miles. arrived from Columbus on
February 25, as did the LOWELL, Roland, from Apalachicola and
the COMMERCE, Smith, from Chattahoochee. On the 28th the LEROY,
Peterson, and TALLAHASSEE, Allen, came from Apalachicola, and the
IRWINTON, Brown, from Brown's Ferry loaded with cotton.
On March 1, the IRWINTON called again from Apalachicola. On March 2,
two barges from Columbus with 1,050 bales of cotton were at lola.
The LEROY called again from Chattahoochee on March 3, with 86 bales
of cotton.22
Vessels in port were the ships, CONDOR, loading for Liverpool,
}EMILY{, loading for New York, LEXINGTON, discharging, GASTON,
Loading for New York. The barks CHAMPION, loading for Liverpool,
CLEMENT, loading for New York, COMMERCE, loading for Boston,
LEOPARD, loading for Liverpool, and LEXINGTON, loading for Boston,
were in the harbor also. In addition, the brigs WARSAW, CYRUS,
ANGORA and MARY were in the port.23
The steamboat COMMERCE was lost on the night of March 4, when she
burst her boilers killing both engineers, several deck hands
and one or two passengers. Many of the crew were severely scalded.
The "explosion was one of terrific violence, occurring at the
instant of stopping the engine. ... The exertions of the officers and owners of the boats to alleviate the suffering of the
wounded, were, we are told, prompt and humane. ... we hope the
meloncholy lesson it teaches will not be lost upon those engaged
in its navigation." The COMMERCE was also the mail boat between
Chattahoochee and Apalachicola.24
PAGE 89.
The year closed out with another disaster as the steamer FLORENCE
was lost through the culpable negligence of her engineer." She was
on the Flint River, just about a mile below Albany when at the first
bend she stove in her larboard quarter against a jutting rock on the
east bank of the river. She was a total loss.
It was customary for steamboats to back the engine when passing the
piont of land on which the FLORENCE was wrecked. The deck load,
consisting of 345 bales of cotton. Was saved with "but little injury" and measures were taken by Captain Moore to save the cargo
under the deck according to the Albany Georgia Patriat. The
FLORENCE's engine was stopped in good time and the backing bell
was rung. The engineer, Sam Hill, did not respond despite repeated
ringings and shouts through the speaking trumpet, "Back her, Back
her!" If Mr. Hill had been at his post, he would have heard the bell.
Some minutes elapsed, which was sufficient to have saved her had the
command been obeyed. The passengers "felt bound, in justice to all
parties to state their conviction that the loss of the steamboat
FLORENCE is attributable, alone, to the negligence of Samuell Hill,
the Engineer, and that no blame can attach to Capt. Moore, the Pilot,
or any officer on board."
Stephen Pierce, the carpenture, was in the engine room at the time
and verified the above, 'upon his oath'.
"We regret the occurrence of this accident upon many accounts; but
that which most concerns the public, is the injury which is a
misstatement of the facts (and) calculated to do to the reputation
of the Flint River, and the pecuniary interests of this whole section
of country. The river could not be in better boating order than it
is at present, and this accident occurred, without at all being
dependent upon the state of the river."
The Patriot's editor continued, "We understand the cotton was
insured in about equal quantities in the Atlantic Mutual insurance,
Pelican, and Croton offices." The boat was owned by Captain Robert
Floyd of Apalachicola, and was not insured.17
In late October, the }EMILY{, Captain John l, Roland, left New
Orleans for Apalachicola. She was of 144 tons and had just been
completed at Elizabeth, Pennsylvania.18
}PAGE 92{
1849:
A new vessel on the river was the FASHION. She was of 149 tons
and was 143' by 22' by 5'. She had been built in 1848 at Shouse-
town, Pennsylvania, and her first home port was Pittsburgh.
Captain A. Robinson was her master.47
The year had barely started when "hard luck" Captain H, W, Van -
Vechten lost his VIOLA on February 16. While on the down passage,
Loaded with cotton, She sank at the head of "Snake Shoals".
The cargo was saved, but the vessel, owned by her commander, was
a total loss.48
Captain Van Vechten:
Obtained another vessel, The EMILY, but she suffered a bitter
accident on Monday, May 28, at Apalachicola. Some seven lives
were lost, When a boiler explosion took place just as
she was leaveing her wharf. The assistant Engineer, Simon Hudson,
and the Watchman, William Magner, were both badly scalded and
died. Two Negroes, one slave, and one free, were killed, one
being badly scalded. Two other Negroes were drowned along with
a white boy.
The vessel had 35 persons aboard and 10 were injured, including
Captain Van Vechten who suffered a broken rib. The EMILY carried
a master, two pilots, one assistant pilot, one watchman, one
engineer, two assistant engineers, a clerk, and a second clerk,
two cooks, two stewards, one chambermaid and 13 deckhands.49
A coroner's jury was immediately convened to investigate the
accident and determine the cause. Thomas Parker, Inspector
of boilers, indicated that he had inspected the EMILY's boilers
in December, 1848, and they were sound at that time.
After examining the head of the injured boiler, he theorized
that the accident was due to the weakness of the head and bad
quality of the iron. Veteran steamboat captain, Jacob Rynear,
also thought the boiler head was made of bad iron as it was in
layers. He found a crack about three inches long on the out side
and ten inches on the inside.
Captain Rynear volunteered that had he been the boat's engineer,
he would have used great care and caution.
Charles Field, Third Engineer, testified that he knew of a crack
in the bioler; the crack was slight and light could not be seen
through it. He and Mr. Mahaffey, both thought the injury was not
dangerous. A small quantity of steam would ooze through when
a heavy head of steam was on. This defect was obviously the
cause of the explosion. Both Mr. Field and John Kelly, Pilot,
thought well of Mr. Mahaffey and had great confidence in him.
Kelly said that about one minute before the biolers exploded,
the engineer tried the escape valve, and he thought there was
more water than steam, (Too much water to permit an explosion).50
The coroner's jury indicated that the boiler was at fault and that
the goverment should have a hydraulic test for boilers.
The boat officers were thankful to the citizens of Apalachicola
"for their prompt assistance and sympathies for the injured."
In 1849, the firm of Sims and Cheever in Albany established
a line of light draft barges which could carry freight during
low stages of the river. They went upstream as far as Danville.
Four to Five hundred bales of cotton could be carried in times
of high water.52

Not stockings, but boots, at the foot of their beds,
For this was Texas, what more need be said?
When all of a sudden from out the still night,
The horses (not reindeer) he drove with such skill.
Come on the Buck, Pancho, and Prince, to the right,
There'll be plenty of travelin' for you all tonight.
The driver in Levi's and shirt that was red.
Had a ten gallon stetson on top of his head.
As he stepped from the buckboard, he was really a sight
With his beard and moustache so curly and white.
As he burst in the cabin, the children awoke,
And he filled up their boots with such presents galore,
That neither could think of a single thing more.
When Buddy recovered the use of his jaws,
He asked in a whisper, "Are you Santa Claus?"
And he smiled as he gave a wink.
Then he leapt in his buckboard, and called back in a drawl
"To all the children in Texas,Merry Christmas, You-All."
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE JAY WAY GANG!!
