Posted on: Claiborne Parish La Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/La/Claiborne/10157 Surname: Harris, Milner, Strickland, Thurman ------------------------- Hello again! Yesterday while I was looking at some burial records through Rootsweb, I believe, someone had put Claiborne Parish on the web, and there was Rocky Springs Baptist Church Cemetary lIsbon, Claiborne Ph, LA. When I searched it for Harris, it came up with Rev. R.A Harris and his wife, Mrs. R. A. Harris, birth and death dates identical for Austin Dabney Harris and partially right for Rebecca Amaretta Milner. Obviously this is wrong and they had dates of birth for Rebecca as 1877 when her husband died in 1881 making her four years old. But that is where my records say they are, so I believe the graves are theirs. Pat Harris

Dear Pat: While searching for my family (in Bienville Parish et al) and identifying death dates, I found that dates on the tombstones are NOT always accurate. For instance my ggrandmother's date of death was one YEAR OFF; and her youngest son's date of death was twenty-four years in error.

Dear Pat: I meant to say my ggrandmother's youngest son's BIRTH date was twenty-four years off (earlier that it actually was). Sorry about MY error!
