Hi Jeannie in Texas, There was a lot of westward migration going on then.... always in search of better soil. This move westward was only interrupted by the Civil War. Quite a few families in Drew and Ashley counties that I know of are from Tishomingo County. Since that is a hilly area, perhaps they tired of the flat delta and moved northward back to the hills of MO.
