Working on a new family theory, I need to know a bit about the area in around 1840...and, about somewhere called Commerce, or perhaps Commerce Cut Off? I tried various mapping sites but none could show me where Commerce is. I also need to know if Lee Co is close to Mississippi Co, and was ever part of Ms Co. There didn't seem to be much info on the Lee co site on genweb so I can use any and all help I can get. Here's what I'm pondering; my ancestor married in 1841, Helena Arkansas, but was said by the family to have also been in Commerce, Ms....I'm wondering if they could have mistaken the state for the Co, and he was REALLY in Commerce, Ms Co, Ark.....could this have been a physical possibility in 1840...Commerce, Ms co, Ark? Thanks.....I've been at a standstill for ages on this family, and this is a new try at finding them! Sandra
