Does anyone in Mississippi know where the Simeon Boyd House, Lawrence County, Mississippi stands? It was built on the old Bogue Chitto-Holmesville Road in Lawrence County. Any help is appreciated. I would really like a history and a photo of the place. Rich Boyd http://www.clanboyd.info

Looking for info on Charles B. Skinner who settled in Sabine Parish, La. (1853-1905) married to Emma Hampton (1856-1922). They had 13 children including my grandfather Willis Ollis Skinner (1884-1975). From death cert. I have for C.B. Skinner- it shows his parents to be from Miss. and Ala. His parents were (I think) William Skinner and (can't read death cert.writing but looks like maybe Martha Atwood). Anyone with info on any of these folks please contact me. Thanks, Mickey Inman --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site!

Looking for info on Richard A.J. Rodgers born in South Carolina, moved with parents and siblings to Smith County, Mississippi and is shown in census there in 1860 being 10 years of age. His parents were Humphrey and Elizabeth Nichols Rodgers, siblings were Ann W. Margaret, James Cleveland, Larkin W., William Lawrence Ora. Have info on everyone else but him. Some of his siblings moved to Hunt county, Texas along with his parents (who died there). When parents wrote their wills in 1887 his name was mentioned. Any info appreciated.

Hello, This is an invitation to join VicksburgMississippiResearchers, a friendly discussion group/message board for anyone with a genealogical or historical interest in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Post your family tree, share old photos of your ancestors, places or objects of interest from Vicksburg, exchange information with other researchers, post queries, relate stories or anecdotes, or report on current news from Vicksburg related to these topics. To view the home page, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VicksburgMississippiResearchers This is a free list to join but in order to access the web page, you will need to register with an ID name and password. This Yahoo Group includes a forum for posting messages, message archives, a photo section, chat room, files section, members list, and other functions. Some of my ancestors lived in Vicksburg from around 1860 to 1920 or so, and many of them are buried there. I've never been to Vicksburg, so I'm hoping to learn more about what life was like for my ancestors who lived there, by meeting other researchers who share the same interest in that historical town. I'm looking forward to having you join!

Ona, In ref to your book about yellow fever, 1853. If you find anything in print about the y f epidemic of 1879, let me know. My ggrandfather lived in Dry Grove, Mississippi [Hinds County]in that period when the yellow fever cleaned out the whole town. He died at age 43, we do not know what from. Thanks, Shelby Morse shelby.morse@att.net

Hi Ona, Regarding the book on Yellow Fever epidemics, does it list the names of victims of the disease, and does it cover all of MS? I am particularly interested in finding out if there is a Matthew McCRARY (or McCreary/McCrae, etc.). He died sometime between 1850-1860 and family lore has it that he became very sick and moved away from his wife to live in a shed with one of his sons, probably in Lafayette or Yalobusha, but that is not certain. It might also have been around Tippah. Sorry to be so vague, but we sure don't have much to go on. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide. Harriet

onapatrick, Have you tried seeing if your library can get it for you through an inter-library loan? I live in Virginia and wanted some out of print local history/reference books on colonial Maryland families, and my library was able to get two of them for me, at a very minimal charge (just the cost of shipping from one library to the other.) It seems like they ordered them from an out of state library, but I'm not sure (maybe they call that an intra-library loan? Good luck! Peggy
