Is the Soule's Chapel Cemetery you are speaking of, in Sumter Co. or Noxubee County, MS.? If it is in Noxubee County, I would love to have copies. Thank You, MaryMargaret

I have several photographs of Souls Chaple Cemetery; most are of the Parker and Ramsey graves, but there are several general photographs as well. I'll be glad to e-mail copies to any one who would like them.

In response to query on Sumter CO rootsweb - I think Emma Eliza Parker is the same as your Liza Parker. Henry Farris Cherry was Eliza's husband. He is was living at the "Old Solder's Home" in Biloxi (Jefferson Davis Home/Beauvior) when he died. He had served in the Civil war and was therefore entitled to this benefit. He is buried there, but under the name Hugh Chaney. Several of us "Cherry" relatives have made attempts to get the correction made without luck. I sent Henry Civil War papers to Beauviour several years ago. They should have this on file. I have the name of Guilford Parker married to Priscilla Farmer as parents to Eliza and siblings. Where did the Walch - the 1850 Sumter Co AL census listed Guilford. I'll be interested in hearing more! The Cherry-Joyner connection is as such: Mary Etta "Mollie" Cherry, dau of Henry Cherry & Eliza Parker, married Wm Burton Joyner, both are buried at "Old Boney" cemetery in Geiger, AL.

Betty, you will will be surprized to learn that I know Beauvior extremely well. My father worked there when I was a child. You can visit the Beauvior website at http://www.beauvior.org In brief, Beauvior was the last permanent residence of Jefferson Davis. After Davis' death, his wife sold the estate for a token son to the Mississippi Divisions of the Sons of the Confederacy, who still own and maintain the property today. Mrs. Davis made several stipulations in the sale: among them, that the house and grounds be maintained as a shrine to the memory of Davis and that the grounds serve Confederate veterans. As the Confederation veteran population aged, the State of Mississippi and United States Government operated a retirement home and hospice for indigent and/or wounded Confederate veterans, maintaining a full hospital and staff on the property. (It is entirely possible that Henry Cherry was among the many veterans who sought medical treatment there. If he died on the property, he may also be buried there: there is a small cemetery dedicated for the exclusive use of Confederate Veterans on the property.) The hospital and retirement home was closed in the 1940s when the last surviving residents either died or moved into private nursing homes. Today Beauvior has a presidential library and two notable museums as well as the Davis home and extensive grounds. I visit it occasionally, and I'll be more than glad to check with their library to see if they have records for Henry Cherry the next time I go. Your Emma Eliza Parker sounds very much like my Liza Parker in terms of the dates! Betty H. wrote: > > Gary, > > I have Emma Eliza Parker b. Aug. 8, 1837 and d. May 8, 1929.

Gary, I have Emma Eliza Parker b. Aug. 8, 1837 and d. May 8, 1929. She was married to Henry Farris "Hence" Cherry., son of The Rev. William Jared Cherry.. She is buried near her father-in-law and his second wife, Susan Jenkins in Boney or Old Liberty Cemetery near Emelle, Ala. in Sumter Co. Henry Cherry was a Confederate Veteran and died at Beauvoir Confederate Home in Biloxi on Nov. 27, 1905. Do you know of it? I don't know why he was there and his family in Ala. If you can find out anything about him , I would appreciate it. There is also a Joyner connection with the Cherry family, but I haven't discovered it yet. This sounds very interesting. Keep in touch.

My ggggrfa Daniel Ezekiel Greene b. Old Greenville Dist. SC is buried in the Parker Cem. of Sumter Co Ala between the Parker Plantation and the Tankersley's. Referring you to my cousin Rich Montalvo who has the info and is fixing to publish again. Maybe we can connect. There was a baby who died and buried there and his name was Osceola Parker; I found them in book in library on Sumter Co Wills and Administrations; don't remember exact title, rather new and smaller, not a hard bound copy. frances ----- Original Message ----- From: Betty H. <beh@rose.net> To: <ALSUMTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 14:46 PM Subject: Re: [ALSUMTER] Parkers & Ramseys > Is Emma Eliza Parker, the wife of Henry "Hence" Cherry , in your Parker > line?

Still looking for john Washington Matthews/Mathis b.1832. Married Sarah Williams 24 Oct 1845 Sumter Co. Moved then to Clarke Co MS then Polk Co TX. Looking for parents/siblings. Thanks Christy

I don't have an Emma Eliza Parker, but I do have a Liza Parker. According to what I know of the Parkers, Walch Parker and Priscilla Farmer resided at Tossnott, North Carolina as late as 1835. They had at least five children: son John Gray, born at Tossnott in 1835, and daughters Liza, Kate, Mary Ann, and Sally. I have no dates for the daughters, but oral tradition has it that both Walch and Priscilla died about 1851 when son John was 16, leaving him to care for his four younger sisters, so on the basis of that I assume the girls were born after 1835 but before 1851. Whether or not the girls were born in North Carolina, Alabama, or some other state is unknown. John Gray resided in Gainesville, Alabama by by 30 December 1874, where his son Ornette Riley Parker was born. (His wife was Martha Ann Joyner or Joiner.) My own line of descent passes through John Gray Parker, son Ornette Riley Parker, and granddaughter Essie Mae Parker, who married into another Geiger-area family, the Ramseys. The family later resided at Geiger. Of the sisters, I have no information at all on Liza Parker. Kate Parker married a man named Bill Gilbert; Mary Ann Parker married a man named Goodson and was believed to have later resided in the area of Hattiesburg, MS; Sally Parker married a man name Bob Robbins and may have moved to Mississippi as well, for we believe she had a daughter, Eugenia Robbins, who married an Edd Hill and resided in the area of Laurel, MS. I would love to see the information on Emma Eliza if you think she might be my "Liza Parker!" Thank you so much for thinking of me--! Gary Taylor Biloxi, MS

Interested in any information pertaining to the Parker & Ramsey families residing in Sumter County, most particularly in the area of Geiger, between 1850-ish and 1950-ish. Several members of both families are buried at Souls Chapel Cemetery. (I assume Souls Chapel itself no longer exists--does any one know for sure?) I would also like to know, if any one can tell me, who oversees Souls Chapel Cemetery? There are two unmarked Parker graves in the cemetery, and if they can be located I would be very interested in placing small markers at them.

I am anxious to find any information about a Miss Ellis E. Moore who married John Langan in Sumter County, AL on January 11, 1865. She also had a sister named Mary Emma Moore who married Peter Averitt in 1868 in Tennessee. I have a great deal of information about John Langan and I have just discovered evidence of his marriage on Ancestry.com and I am excited to learn more about this Ellis E. Moore. They are my GGrandparents. I would also like to get a copy of this marriage license since it is listed as Sumter County (OS page 515). Could some one tell me how I would go about obtaining a copy???? Thanks very much, Alice
