He asked me to contact the people researching the Head Family in this county. He does not have a computer. Here is what I have. John C. Head came to Washington County, Mississippi from Griffin, Georgia, after the War Between the States as a manager of Greenway plantation. IN the spring of 1878 he married Mamie A. Buckner of the Huntington area of Bolivar Co., Mississippi, at her residence. This quote accompained therir wedding announcement. "NO fate can cheat the loving pair/As long as life's paththey tread/For whether times are good or bad/They will always be Head. The heads moved to Doddsville where he had two cotton gins and a large plantation. Their children were Mrs. M. R. Williams, Mrs. J. M. Maury, and John Columbus Head, Jr., O. C. Head, and G. S. Head. Her mother was MRs. P. M. Chambers of Little Rock, Arkansas, Her brother was E. O. Chambers also of Little Rock. MRs. John C. Head died July 21 1910 I have a note that John C. Head was born 1846 and died 1928. He served as a private in Co. I 13th Georgia Infantr. He is buried in the Greenville Cemetery in Greenville, Mississippi. I am a local historian and my friend is M. R. Williams Jr. Whose grandmother was Mamie Buckner. He is in his 70's and would like to hear from somone with information about his family. I have also corresponded with a Matthew Maury who writes me that "My great grandmother, Clara Lee Head, born Jan. 27, 1884 in Grenville, Mississippi was the daughter of John Champion Head. John Champion was married to Eileen Buckner. Clara Head married James M. Maury, Sr." If any one would like to correspond about this family or has information to share please email me at nowell@tecinfo.com. Thank you.
