| Cathy's g-grandmother was Jessie Campbell Handy Palfrey and Jessie's father, Thomas Hughes Handy, was originally from the Eastern shore of Maryland. He moved to New Orleans as a child; served in the Confederate Army and, eventually, became a sheriff in New Orleans under Governor Nicholls. He was involved in the fight to get the courts back; he bought the Sazerac Bar, and was responsible for the final recipe of the famous Sazerac drink. His wife, Cathy's g-g-grandmother, was Josie Campbell Handy, daughter of Dr. Thomas Campbell and Ethalinda McComb Campbell, who was originally from McComb, MS. They lived in Carrollton, LA, when it was first established. (Carrollton is now within the New Orleans city limits.) Some newspaper articles have been found in which Dr. Campbell was called "the father of Carrollton." He was a physician and a surgeon in the CSA, appointed by Gov. Moore, leaving the army with the rank of Major. The McCombs have been traced back to Scotland. Rev. Isaac W. K. Handy was a political prisoner at Fort Delaware during the Civil War. |
