She ran a private school on Jefferson St. there that my brother attended. This would have been probably 1925-1930. I believe that Mr. Wagley owned an ice plant in Mansfield at that time. I do not know either of their first names. Just thought this might help you a bit. Ellen

Hello: In all of the research I have seen on Mary Jane Carraway b.abt.1827 AL married Joseph Pate in 1846. Most info says that Mary Jane Carraway Pate died in Mansfield, Desoto Parish,LA.in 1875. I have not found her in any cemetary listing or in any census of that period. My question is: Where is my best chance of getting this info. Patricia

Smith of Smith County, Tennessee? My Great grandfather Isaac "Bud" Smith had a daughter named Cassie L. Smith who married J. P. Murray at Smith Co., Tenn.. If she is the same lady then I have a photo of her and two of her children. And I hope is because I've been looking for her descendants. My grandmother was Isaac's 4th wife Mary McClellan Smith by whom he had Mack, Frank and Alma Smith. Frank Smith was my grandfather. So I do hope you are from my branch of the Smiths, looking forward to hearing from you. Charlene Smith

Their occupations were: sawmill laborer, mill wright, hauling logs, saw milling, so Dutherage & Hall must have been a sawmill. Does anyone know if there was a male DUTHERAGE partner in Dutherage & Hall? May’s brother or father maybe? Does anyone know when this sawmill closed, or any of the history of it? Was Dutherage & Hall actually located in Logansport, or in DeSoto Parish, or was it in a neighboring parish? Any information on Dutherage & Hall would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, April Hoover mycabin@arkansas.net

Dear cfr1945 & others, I was interested in the inquiries about the DeWitts. I have the 1860 and 1870 Censuses here, and looked up DeWitts in both. In the 1860 Census Samuel DeWitt, age 50, born South Carolina, had $600 in real property and $3,500 in personal property. His wife Mary E. DeWitt, born South Carolina, was with him and two children born in Alabama (Amanda, 16, and Felix, 15). Also a young boy age 4 named John Ruffin. I have a list of persons who owned nine or more slaves in 1861, but Mr. DeWitt does not appear on it. He could certainly have owned fewer, though, to make up that $3,500. I don't have the complete Census pages of the slaveholders. In 1870 the Index shows four DeWitts, of whom three are Black - possibly, but not provedly, former slaves of Samuel DeWitt. The White DeWitt is W.M. DeWitt, age 44 a farmer born in South Carolina; his wife is E.C. DeWitt and they have five young children. (obviously not Samuel and not one of Samuel's children, either) The Black DeWitts (all living very near W.M.) are: Samuel DeWitt, age 28, born in Louisiana (with property of $100) Emeretta DeWitt, age 30, born in South Carolina Anson DeWitt, age 51, a farm laborer born in South Carolina (with property of $200). His wife, Betsy, age 48, was also born in South Carolina and their child, Sukey, (girl) age 7, was born in Louisiana. I hope this might be a clue for someone. Nancy Wilson

They had a place near Stonewall. My gg grandfather, Samuel D.

They were said by my family to be descendants of ex-slaves of their ancestors. No proof.
