Jamie,

Thanks for going to the trouble to post this information on John Defee. I do wish to point out that the data on familysearch.org is incorrect. John Defee's first wife was not Julia Annis Ward born in 1841.

Julia Annis Ward married George Defee, as proved by court records of Union Parish Louisiana. I have long searched for proof of Confederate military service for George, but so far, I've found nothing.

Thanks,

Tim
