'He joined the U.S. Calvary in Ludlon (Loudoun Cty?), VA as a volunteer and fought in the Mexican War. He was discharged at Milton, FL in 1840 and given a land grant in Floridatown, FL for his services in the war. He was born in 1812, but we do not know anything about his family before he came to Florida. He married Malissa Clark, a full-blooded Creek Indian, in 1842. They had eight children. My grandfather, William Magaha, was one of the eight. As you see, we spell our name 'Magaha', but we had some cousins that spelled theirs 'Megaha and McGhee'.' If anyone has information, Faye would appreciate hearing from you."<br><br>The story is also told in the text that Isaac stole Malissa from the Indians and they went to Floridatown and raised their family.<br> <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><b><a name="72">72</a></b> Document #CEN0020 <br>The 1860 U.S. Census of Florida (taken 23 Jul 1860), Santa Rosa County, Milton<br>(Page number and Enum.

One of these up-country traders, "Woccocoie Clarke", living at Wococcoie, in the modern Coosa county, transported his merchandise and skins upon seventy pack-horses. His squaw, who was of great assistance to him, he called Queen Anne, for Clarke was an Englishmen.<br><br> Besides skins of various kinds, the traders bought up beeswax, hickory-nut oil, snake root, together with various medicinal barks, and transported them to Augusta and Pensacola on pack-horses and to Mobile and New Orleans in large canoes. The pack-horses used in this trade were generally small ones, raised in the nation, but were capable of sustaining heavy loads and of enduring great fatigue. A saddle of a peculiar shape was first placed upon the pony. The food consisted of three bundles, each weighing sixty pounds. Two of these were suspended across the saddle, and came down by the sides of the pony, while the third was deposited on top of the saddle. The whole pack was covered with a skin to keep off the rain. Thus the pony sustained a load of one hundred and eighty pounds. Even liquids were conveyed in the same manner. Taffai, a mean rum, was carried on these horses in small kegs. Indeed, these<br>hardy animals transported everything for sale; and even poultry of all kinds was carried in cages made of reeds strapped upon their backs. A pack-horseman drove ten ponies in a lead. He used no lines, but urged them on with big hickories and terrible oaths. Accustomed to their duty, they, however, seldom gave trouble, but jogged briskly along. The route and the stopping places became familiar, and, as evening approached, the little fellows quickened their trot with new life and activity. When the sun retired over the hills, the caravan stopped; the packs were taken off, piled in a heap, and covered with skins; the horses were belled and turned out to find there food, which consisted of grass and young cane. It was usually late the next morning collected and packed, for no person in an Indian country is fool enough to regard time. An attack from the<br>natives upon traders was a rare occurrence. They imagined that they needed the supplies which they brought into their country, and regarded these singular merchants as their best friends, did not even rob them. A pack-horseman always drank taffai--it cheered him in the forest and emboldened him in distress. With a bottle slung by his saddle he often indulged, while those before and behind him followed his custom. Those going to Pensacola and other places were frequently in want of the stimulant, and it was customary for the traders whom they met coming from the market to halt and treat and interchange jokes. The trader who suddenly rushed by a thirsty party was long remembered as a mean fellow.<br><br>Nothing stopped these men on their journey. They swam all swollen creeks and rafted over their effects or produce. Where they had no canoes, rivers were crossed in the same manner. If they reached a stream having large cane on its banks, these were presently cut, ten feet long, and tied up into bundles about three feet in circumference, which were placed in the water. Across these others were laid, which formed an admirable raft, capable of sustaining great weight. Logs were also often employed in the construction of rafts. Guided by long grapevines, they were generally dragged safely across to the opposite side, where the wet ponies stood, ready to receive their packs again. Then all hands drank taffai, and journeyed on, with light hearts and laughing faces. The average travel was twenty-five miles a day. The route from Pensacola was a well-beaten path, leading up the country and across the fatal Murder Creek, and thence to within a few miles of the Catoma, when it diverged into several trails, one of which led to Tookabatcha, along the old Federal road, the other to Montgomery and Wetumpka, by the Red Warrior's Bluff, now Grey's Ferry, upon the Tallapoosa. This trail continued to the Tennessee river.<br><br> <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><b><a name="76">76</a></b> Ibid, pp 422-24. <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><b><a name="77">77</a></b> Document #CMY0007A <br>Cedar Lawn Cemetery, Paterson, NJ<br>. <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><b><a name="78">78</a></b> CENSUS: <br><br>Document Number CEN0027<br>U.S. Census, 1870, Passaic County, NJ, Pompton Township, Page 718 (printed), Page 39 (handwritten)<br><br>. <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><b><a name="79">79</a></b> Document Number CEN0022 <br>U.S. Census, 1860, Passaic County, NJ, Wayne Township (District of Wayne &amp; Pompton)<br>Page number unknown (Does not show on photocopy)<br><br>. <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><b><a name="80">80</a></b> Document #DTH0001 <br>Death Certificate - William Toll<br>, Name of mother: Margaret Force. <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><b><a name="81">81</a></b> FORCE-squire.FTW. <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><b><a name="82">82</a></b> Bob Hunter hunterrd@attbi.com. <p style="margin-left:0.5in"><b><a name="83">83</a></b> NY Gen. &amp; Bio.
