I am looking for some documentation for a riverboat captian Robert Hamilton, visiting his brother-in-law in Tupelo (Jackson County) William P. Ray around the 1900s. Robert was said to have visited often and docking at Augusta often...He did a lot of trips for Brown Shoes out of St.Louis....to Bateville and would dock in Augusta to visit his brother in law.. Any help?
