I am still trying to confirm the parents of Carrie F. Vinson. I believe I have them but need some help to make sure. To do that I also need to find the family of Birt and Carrie Sims and the parents and siblings of Birt. Here is what I know. Samuel C. Vinson (spelled Vincent in the census) and Eugenia Vinson are listed in the 1880 Lafayette County, Mississippi Census records. They show up with two children. Lullah V. and William, 8 and 4. Samuel was born in Alabama. Eugenia was born in Mississippi. Both would have been born around 1855. In 1900, I find Samuel C. Vinson and Elizabeth Vinson living in Pulaski County, Arkansas. They are living with six children. John F, Mary R., Ada L., Samuel L., Martha E., and Oscar F. Vinson. Ages 16,15, 13, 12, 10, 8. John, Mary, and Oscar are deaf and dumb. There is a school for Deaf and Dumb in Pulaski County at that time. William show as living in the next house as a widower with a 1 year old son Alfred H. William in 1910 and 1920 shows in Bradley County, Arkansas with a new wife and a growing family. In 1900, Eugene Vinson is living in Pope County, Arkansas with his Brother in law and sister, D. Birt Sims and Carrie F. Sims. In 1910, Martha E. Vinson is living with her husband Lusco E. Mifflin in Yell County, Arkansas along with her Mother Elizabeth Vinson. Samuel L. Vinson is married to Effie Walker (daughter of Cornelious Walker, which makes this another one of those double cousin relationship to me that I never figure out.) My, Eugene is living as a farm hand with Jefferson Davis Miller and his family. Eugene shows as a widower. Jefferson Davis Miller had a daughter Laura Sybil Miller. Eugene married Laura Sybil and they had two children. Velda Viola Vinson, and Wilton Eugene Vinson. Velda was my grandmother. Now, here is what I need. Does anyone show a marriage record of Eugene M. Vinson marrying anyone between 1900 and 1910? Does anyone know of any descendants in the Sims line that could tell me where in Alabama to look for them? There are Vinsons in Pope County that came from Franklin County, Alabama. I do not find any connection. I find some land records in Butler County, Alabama the show some connection between the Vinson and the Sims families but I have not located Samuel C. Vinson as a child of anyone yet. I have the marriage between Samuel C. Vinson and his second wife Elizabeth A. Burnett as September 25, 1883 in Yalobusha County, Mississippi. I need a marriage for Samuel C. Vinson and Eugenia (Miller, I think but have no proof). Anything that helps me close noose on these wandering ghost would be greatly appreciated. Jeff Bailey Gladstone, Missouri
