This page is about my ties to the Cooper, Hill, Denison (Dennison), Frizzell, Gattshall and Jackson families in Florida.

On one of the Links below are the Florida Confederate Pension application Files. You can type any last name you want to search for your ancestor if he or his widow applied for a pension in Florida. My ancestor that was on this list is Elisha Allen Hill. If you are a Hill researcher type in Hill and see pages 6 and 10 for Elisha, his brothers Thomas J Hill and Malcom N Hill also have pension applications at this site.

You may access my GEDCOM files for the Cooper, Frizzell, Hill and Denison(Dennison) families by clicking on the link below for My Origins Web page. There is also a book there on The County Line Cemetery in Lutz, Florida.
