Alexander W. is my gg-grandfather son of William David Thompson b. 1797 Burkes Co.,NC d. 1849 Benton Co.,AL The last data I have found on Alexander W. Thompson is from 1860 Census Blackburn, Jefferson Co., AL where he is listed as a "Student of Medicine", wife's name is Isabel and he had 2 small sons, William Wayne (my great grandfather), the other son was named Franklin. Family history passed down said that he was a Doctor in Confederate army but I have not found information of this anywhere. We have no information on wife's maiden name or where and when they died. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Elaine

I forgot to mention that you said that Clyde's baby sister, Zora, was there too. I don't have her in any census so I was unaware of her. Thanks so much!

According to my April email it was the McCombs/Lovick Cemetery. You gave me the dates for A.B Ratliff and GeorgeAnn. The other Ratliffs buried there were Clyde, Clyde's aunt Sarah E, James M, Jeff D and Curtis with wife Lucille. You didn't mention the dates though. I just wondered if there was an online survey or how you knew this. I do have Vol I and II of the cemetery books, but they are not listed in it. I so appreciated the information!

Melba, This one is mine too!! Just to show how crazy a census can read. The children in this family are named. LeeElla, Jeanette,Edward, and Gordon. Gordon is my daddy. I haven't seen this one and I appreciate you looking it up for me. Thanks!! MM

Thanks!! I found this myself. I am trying to find James Oscar on a census with his mother before she died. While he was still a child. Thanks again, MM

This one seems the right one. Cornelia Henrietta just being called Henrietta. The child Richard would have to be from Jabe's first wife. I have never heard of him before. Just the 2 sisters of James Oscar Gray. That's not saying there was no Richard. He may have died young or just never talked about. My grandfather died befire I was 2, so I have no first hand info. Thanks so much!! MM

MM. Have you looked at the 1870 census for Choctaw Co MS? There is a listing for a Jobe Gray who has a daughter named Leler. Could this be the Lela who was the half sister of James O? If the name Jobe was a mispelled Jabe??? 1870 MS Choctaw Co pg 286B. Township 19, Range 7, Line 28 H66/F66 Gray, Jobe 35 [He is indexed as John] Susan 30 Lelar 7/12 All were listed as born in GA. On the same page is a James Gray 43, also b in GA. A Dick Gray, age 27 bGA, is on the page before them, which corresponds to the Richard 17 on the 1860 census in your post. Another Gray, age 45 b GA, is on the page with Dick, but I can't make out his name, but he is indexed as Guss [his age would correspond with Augustus on the 1860 census and the James A 25 on the 1850 census with Catherine]. Others on the Choctaw Co MS 1870 index [HeritageQuest] are: Alice C 10 b MS [listed with Monroe D Nelson and Mary E 30 & family] Frank 50 b SC [has a family] Matha 44 b VA [has a family] Robert 29 b GA [has a family] [Is this Robertson 10 in 1850 with Catherine, and Robert 19 in 1860 with Giles Atkinson and Elizabeth 21(maybe Elizabeth 12 with Catherine in 1850)?] Thomas 50 b MS [has a family] Hope this helps, Melba Clark ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 7:02 AM Subject: Re: [ALJEFFER] Request Info Regarding Ancestors Graves > In a message dated 9/7/2006 6:11:12 P.M.
