I am a direct descendent of the Longs from Pats island (Baxters). I have maps of all 3 Long properties that were located out there. I live north of there not too far in an area that used to be known as pea patch. My family came down from North Carolina and was on that property where you were exploring from approximately 1860's till the 1930's. My grandfather was a great nephew of one of the Longs from out there. We all grew up in Volusia County and the surrounding areas.
That’s great family history you have. How interesting! I’m sure you have some great family stories from that part of the state! I’d love to see the maps!
Thank you for the video of the filming location of The Yearling movie. It was interesting. Maybe using a drone of the area may help find some of the films set
In the story and the film, Penny Baxter was bitten by the rattlesnake as he and Jody were on a mission to the Forresters' home to retrieve the hogs the Forrester boys had meanly baited away from the Baxters' pen. That event followed the hunt for Ol' Slewfoot in which Penny's gun misfired and his worthless feist of a pup cowered at the sound of a gunshot. Penny ended up trading the feist to Lem Forrester for a rifle through some clever trickery and Lem sought to get even by baiting the hogs to steal them.
