Alice: Did a quick check for you and could not find anything. Will check the civil war data base for ya. Not sure if we have enough information to go on here. Did you check any of the census records yet? Know where anyone is buried at (Cemetary or county?) As for suggestions, in McComb, MS. there is a library with a great Genealogy section of and some good researchers are known to visit there often. HINT HINT worth a look see when you get some time to visit. Besides these names, anyone else you have sur names that might tie in to your Dooley? No idea at all what part of MS he or they may have lived in:? Is quite a lot of work to have to check all of the census for your Dooley not knowing which county he may have resided in. Anything you can think of as regards old family tales of places and events is also a good approach for ideas that may lead to a treasure trove. Keep looking, we will find them all. SIN
