I felt the same way when I went to the site. My basic reaction was "say what?" What am I missing here?

Tree Mother, I would like to know what Roberts, Palmer, and Byrd family you have, I was a Roberts before I married and my husband has ties to the Palmer and Byrd families. Would love to hear back from you and anyone else with these family names.

Mr. Vail would have been too old to have been required to perform military service in the War Between the States. There are no compiled military service records for any Confederate soldier with that name.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I need the one in Marshall County near Waterford. I believe my relative is who died 20 October 1862 is buried there. He had been sick for over 2 months before he died. His Name Pvt Needham H. Temples

I do not know the location of the cemetery you mentioned, but I did visit a very large one in Lauderdale County a few years ago. The road off the Interstate Highway has a large historical marker.

Would some kind person tell me how to find the Civil War Cemetery near Waterford in Marshall County, Ms. Also any information on Camp Rogers near Waterford. Thomas

1850 Tippah county Mississippi lists Daniel W. Vale who is age 43 born Va. His wife was Mary J. age 40 born S.C.Children: Minerva, Granberry, Calvin, Ann, Sarah, Ginn?, Mary, Riley, James W. Vale, Lewis G. Alison, Susan. Mary was born in Ms. and then Riley was born in Tn. James W. born in Al. so does anyone recognize any of these children? My interest is my gggrandmother married a Jesse Daniel W. Vail in Pope county Arkansas in 1860. She is back under her former married name in 1870 Pope county Arkansas. Am trying to find his military record to send for his file. Thought maybe he may have mentioned a wife named Winnie Parker Woolcutt Vail born 1816 S.C. Thank you. Any help with this family appreciated. Nancy Misenheimer bluebird4@alltel.net
