Jerry, please make some corrections in your post. Also, it has occurred to me that the obituary saying he was born in Moore County, NC, could be wrong. Also, between TN and MS, could he have been in GA? The obit said he went to TN as a young man but he did not show up in Copiah County until he was 30 years old.
