Jackson County

He says his name is not Williams, is an ex-slave who gained his freedom because his mistress found it more advantageous to free him than to watch him.

Austin lives near Greenwood, Jackson County, Florida, on a small farm that he and his children operate.

He says that he does not know his age, does not remember ever having heard it, but he must be pretty old, he says, because I was a right smart size when Mr. Smith went off to fight.

He thinks he may be over a hundred, and he looks it, but he is not sure.

She called him and told him he might have his freedom.

Bill never attempted to again leave the place, although he did not receive a cent for his work until his master had died, the store passed into the hands of one of Mr. Smith's sons, and the emancipation of all the slaves was a matter of eight or ten years' history.

When he finally left Greene and Hancock counties about fifty-five years ago, Austin settled in Jackson County.

He married and began the raising of a family.

Please welcome Kelsey to the show.

She is the Executive Director of the Jackson County Tourist Development Council in Northwest Florida.

However, recently in Jackson County, just maybe confirmed last week, week before last, but it just happened.

It was no symptoms in that pasture.

Authorities say that they received information that Isabel had been communicating with someone.

So Walton County Sheriff's Office Cybercrime Unit obtained a digital search warrant, traced an IP address connected to those communications, and pinpointed her location at a home near Cottondale in Jackson County, Florida.

So on Thursday afternoon, members of a U.S.

Marshals task force surrounded the home and arrested Isabel without incident.
