amp Moore History

     Camp Moore, named for Governor Thomas Overton Moore of
Louisiana, was located about 78 miles north of New Orleans on the
New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad ( now the Illinois
Central Gulf Railroad) about one half mile above Tangipahoa
Station. The greater part of the volunteer regiments and battalions which
brought fame and honor to the State of Louisiana during the War for
Southern Independence were assembled, organized, and trained in this
camp.
        After the secession of Louisiana, the convention which took the
state out of the Union approved an ordinance which established a
regular state military force. During the months of January and February,
military companies were formed, some with funds from the Military board,
and some with private funds. By the middle of February, 28 volunteer
companies had been furnished arms by the Military Board. Most of these
arms had come from the seizure of the federal arsenal at Baton Rouge.
There were enlisted a total of 1,765 men with the size of the companies
varying from 120 men to 30 men, the minimum size set by the board.
       On March 19, 1861, a call was made by Confederate Secretary of
War Leroy Walker for 1,700 volunteers to garrison forts inside the
Confederacy. The legislature allowed Governor Moore to transfer state
troops to Confederate service and permitted Louisiana citizens to
volunteer for Confederate service. On April 8th, President Davis asked
Louisiana for 3,000 additional troops, and after the bombardment of Fort
Sumter, asked for 5,000 more.
       New Orleans was the place designated to receive the volunteers.
The old Metairie race Course was used as a military camp, and by early
May, some 3,000 troops were training there. The training camp, called
Camp Walker, was deficient in many ways. The lack of easy access to
clean drinking water, the swarms of mosquitoes from surrounding
swamps, and the soft, marshy soil in the camp made the place
intolerable to the men.
        A new training site was soon found near Tangipahoa. General
Tracy, who commanded Camp Walker,  began to transfer most of his
troops by rail to Camp Moore on May 13, 1861. The 3rd Regiment of
Louisiana Volunteers was to be left to complete its training at Camp
Walker. Camp Moore was much better suited for use as a military camp
than Camp Walker. At Camp Moore, there was an abundance of fresh,
clean drinking water, plenty of shade,  well drained soil, and almost no
mosquitoes.
          While at Camp Moore, companies were brought to full strength,
elected their officers, and formed into groups of ten companies willing to
serve in the same regiment. These regiments were then brought into
State service and elected regimental officers. The State then arranged
for the regiments to be mustered into Confederate service. The
regiments usually left Camp Moore within a couple of days of being
mustered.
          Among those who went to the Army of Northern Virginia were the
5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Regiments of Volunteers and the 1st
Special Battalion of Louisiana Volunteers ( Wheat's Battalion). Among
those serving in Confederate commands in the western part of the
Confederacy were the 4th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th,
21st,  22nd, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 30th Regiments of Louisiana
Volunteers.
          Letters from soldiers and visitors at the camp describe it as being
about one half mile above Tangipahoa Station and being bounded on
the west by the railroad, on the south by Beaver Creek, and on the east
by the Tangipahoa River. General Tracy's headquarters was near
Beaver Creek, and along the creek there was a coffee house and
restaurant, a grocery, the sutler, soda and refreshment shops, a barber
shop, a photographer's salon, and a butcher shop. In the center of the
camp was the parade ground.
          The letters also mention a camp cemetery where soldiers who
died of disease were buried.  Estimates of the number of men buried
in  the cemetery range from 250 to 800 men.
           Maj. General Mansfield Lovell, came to Camp Moore in October,
1861, and due to a lack of arms there, ordered the troops to camps
close to New Orleans. When the federal fleet arrived at New Orleans on
April 25, 1862, all the troops at New Orleans and in the surrounding area
were ordered to move to Camp Moore.
           Governor Moore visited Camp Moore in May 1862, and stayed
about 10 days. In the following months and years, Camp Moore was
made a camp of instruction for Louisiana conscripts from east of the
Mississippi River. It also served as a prisoner of war camp at one time.
Gen. Daniel Ruggles, commanding the Florida Parishes, made his
headquarters at Camp Moore with about 1000 men.
           On July 28, 1862, Gen John C. Breckinridge arrived at Camp
Moore to make ready his campaign to liberate Baton Rouge from federal
occupation. Breckinridge divided his 4000 men and the 1000 under
Ruggles into two divisions and marched to Baton Rouge. On Aug. 5th,
due to the failure of the CSS Arkansas to disperse the federal warships
on the Mississippi, the Confederates were unsuccessful in regaining
possession of Baton Rouge.
           Most of the infantry and artillery units in the Florida Parishes
were
moved to Port Hudson when that place was fortified, leaving only
cavalry units in the area of Camp Moore. Some conscripts were left in
the camp for training, and to look after supplies that were stored there.
The camp was raided by federal cavalry in April 1863, and again in Oct.
1864, at which time the federals destroyed a large amount of stored
clothing and dispersed the cattle kept there for Confederate use.
In Nov. 1864, Gen Davidson passed through Tangipahoa with 5000
men and burned Camp Moore and all the outbuildings. The wooden
headboards that marked the final resting place of the soldiers who had
died at the camp were also destroyed, so families could not find their
kin. This last raid finished Camp Moore as a military camp.
       In 1892, encampment No. 60 of the United Confederate Veterans
was established at Tangipahoa, with their chief purpose being the care
of the graves at Camp Moore. The Camp Moore chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy was responsible for getting the donation
of a two acre tract which encompassed the cemetery. They also got the
legislature to appropriate funds to build a wall and fence around the old
cemetery in 1904. The monument in the center of the cemetery was
dedicated in Oct., 1907. In the 1960's another tract of land was
procurred and a museum built using state funds. The museum was
dedicated in May, 1965 and was designated a state commemorative
area.
       In the 1980's Gov. Edwards closed the site, along with some other
state commemorative areas across the state. It was no longer to be
operated by the state. The site was reopened in June, 1993 as a
private, non profit entity. Today, the museum and cemetery survive
mostly on donations and volunteer help. It has only one paid position,
that of part time curator.
      The museum contains numerous artifacts of the period and is open
from 10 am - 4 pm Tuesday - Saturday. The grounds are a beautiful
place for a picnic, wedding or just a quiet day in the country. Camp
Moore is located along hwy 51 just north of Tangipahoa, La.
Camp Moore can be reached from I-55, by taking the Tangipahoa exit.

Notes for WILLIAM II JOWERS:
Notes from pages I copied from Willie Scott Winningham.  I believe that Audie Jowers wrote a book and this was from it.  Pg. 79

" William Jowers, R. and family moved from Georgia to Henry Co., AL in the winter of 1848 and settled in the Northern District.  He had several brothers and their families already living in Henry Co., AL.

In doing research, I found many Jowers living in Henry Co., AL in the 1850 census.  Also in the 1850 census, I found three families, John Jowers and family, George Jowers and family and James Jowers and family, all living in Stewart Co., GA.  No doubt these Jowers are all connected in some way.  According to their ages they could be brothers. "

Notes for MARY JANE FRANCIS HICKS:
Also taken from Shirley Lott's writings and sent to my by Shirley Jowers:


Thomas Fletcher Jowers was a farmer.  He was a Missionary Baptist and a bit narrow minded regarding other denominatins.  He was known to be somewhat prejudiced against the black race.  However, his wife, was Margaret Jane Frances was not.  She was born in southern Missouri in the Iron and Stoddard county areas.  Her mother's parents had migrated from southern Indiana and Kentucy.

During the Civil War, Margaret Jane's parents and grandparents lived on the Mason Dixon Line and were split between fighting for the north and the south.  Her father, John A. Hicks, was known to have first joined the CSA, later deserted, and surrendered to the Union Army where he served as a spy for them.  It has always been known that he served on both sides. It is also thought this was because he had family serving on both sides and may have found it hard to shoot at his relatives.  His father-in-law, Henry G. Cole, who was Margaret Jower's grandfather, moved his family when the war broke out.  It is thought that John A. 's young wife, Emma Elizabeth Cole Hicks, (Margaret's mother) went with them.  This may have been north of the Mason Dixon Line and the reason John A. Hicks deserted the CSA and went north to follow them.  One family story says that John A. Hicks was "captured" as a prisoner of war and taken to Rock Island, IL.  This may be from where he worked as a spy.  In checking all the John Hicks on record in the Civil War from both Missouri and Arkansas, there is a record of one captured and taken to Rock Island, IL.  We have no proof that this is our John A. Hicks.

Notes for DRUCILLA ? JOWERS:
I believe because of their ages and where they were when they got married that these are the two sisters who are not named in the letter of Tillman Jowers, who was the son of Fletcher Jowers and grandson of William S. Jowers.

Notes for CARRIE ANN ELIZABETH JOWERS:
This is just part of  information Shirley Jowers of Kirkland, Wa.  sent to me in February 2001:

A statement written by Shirley Lott:

Carrie Ann Eliza Jowers, Finch, Benton who was born Sept. 8, 1890, related the following family knowledge of her grandfather, William S. Jowers.  William S. Jowers had four sons, all of whom were born in MS. Thomas Fletcher, born in 1865; James Lee, born 1868; Calvin Miles, born 1870; and John William, born 1874.  Thomas Fletcher was Carrie Ann Eliza's dad and Shirley Lott's great grandfather.

William S. Jower's wife was Ann Drucilla Falls, born in 1841 in MS.  Ann Drucilla died in 1874 shortly after the birth of the youngest child, John William, also known in the family as "Uncle Will".  She died of post-partum complications.  The only thing that Carrie can remember having been said about her grandmother, Ann Drucilla, whom she never knew, was that she was a little Dutch lady who went about singing as she did her daily chores of homemaking.  It is said that was of Dutch descent, and it is thought that the Jowers originated from Wales.  It is uncertain in the memory of Carrie where Ann Drucilla was buried, but there is a family gravesite with six plots of Jowers in the Oakgrove Cemetery in Searcy, AR.  In these plots are William S. Jowers/ his son, Thomas Fletcher Jowers; Thomas Fletcher Jower's wife, Margaret Jan; Thomas and Margaret's young son, Tommy; and their daughter, Ella Darthulia Jowers Dickens.  Darthulia was in her eighties when she died and had raised a family of three.  She is buried in this family plot with her parents and her grandfather, William S. Jowers.  This leaves one unmarked grave, and this is most likely where Ann Drucilla, wife of William S. Jowers, is buried, although there is no marked grave to prove it.

Notes for ELLA DARTHULIA (DOROTHY) JOWERS:
I believe because of their ages and where they were when they got married that these are the two sisters who are not named in the letter of Tillman Jowers, who was the son of Fletcher Jowers and grandson of William S. Jowers.

Notes for JOHN WILSON JOWERS:
Page 89:

His mother was named Mary Pope before she married.  Her mother was an Indian.  Mary Pope's mother was killed when lightning struck a tree and it fell on her.  John Wilson, his brother and sister, his mother and grandmother were walking home one day, in Alabama, when a bad cloud came up and the lightning sturck the tree.  When the tree fell on his grandmother, his mother sent John Wilson, running to the house, as they were near home, to get his grandfather.  His grandfather heard him calling and ran and jumped the fence, didn't even open the gate and was down there before he was hardly half way back.  He was too late, his grandmother was dead.

During the Civil War, John Wilson watched his father go off to war, they had a big parade for the troops in Mobile, Alabama.  He watched the way the people carried on, with all the waving and shouting, as his father, with the other soldiers marched down the street and  on out of sight. This was the last time he saw his father, he was killed and never came back from war.

Page 90:

John Wilson Jowers and wife, Elizabeth, moved with their eight unmarried children and one married son and his family, from Hicks, LA in Vernon Parish to Verda, La. in Grant Parish in the fall of 1907.  They moved by wagon drawn by oxen.  It took two days to come from Hicks, LA to Verda, LA and two days to go back, four days a round trip.  They crossed Red River by ferry boat at Colfax, LA.

From junction of LA Hwy. 8 and LA Hwy. 28 in Leesville, go East toward
Alexandria on LA Hwy. 28 approximately 16.2 miles. Turn right (South) on
gravel road (Laurel Hill Cutoff Road, Vernon #38). Sign on right side of
road indicates cemetery is two miles from this location. Continue on
Vernon #38 (gravel road) approximately .7 mile from the sign. When the
road ends, turn left (East) on second gravel road and continue for 1.0
mile. Church is on the right side of the road, and cemetery is to the
right of the Church in the bend of the road. A sign on the gate indicates
the cemetery was established in 1887.

If weather is bad, an alternate route exists which is approximately the
same mileage as above route, however, the roads are paved. From Leesville,
take LA Hwy. 28 toward Alexandria. Turn right (South) onto LA Hwy. 121 at
Slagle cutoff, and go 8.5 miles. Turn left onto LA Hwy. 489 and go 1.0
miles, turn left again onto Laurel Hill Road and go 2.0 miles to the Church
which is on the left.

A brief history of the church is provided using information taken from the
early Church minutes. Many references were made in the minutes to the
graveyard. The membership would often meet at the cemetery for the purpose
of cleaning the area. A meal provided by the women was enjoyed by all in
attendance. This practice has continued to the present time, and as a
consequence the cemetery at Laurel Hill continues to be a clean, well-kept
area, a silent testimony of the respect and dignity for the final resting
place for all who are buried there. Homecoming is held on the 1st Saturday
in July, when descendants of the old members return to enjoy the fellowship
of the church.

Information in brackets was provided by family members or local researchers
and should be verified. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded from the gate
near the church to the opposite fence in zigzag rows by Jane P. McManus on
17 January 1995, and submitted (janemcmanus@gateway.net)
