Sin, Thank you so much for this information, now if I could only find out his full name, I'd be elated lol. This man has had me hitting the brick wall for a long time now lol. I'm not able to got to the archives in MS to do any research, I live in NY and so all my searching is done via the web, I keep hoping that maybe someone will see the name and it will be part of their line. I have no idea what county they lived in so finding them on any of the census records between 1850 and 1870 is next to impossible. I know that E. Dooley's wife Emma/Emily was in Arkansas by 1880 with the 3 children, Susan, William and Frank. So I'm assuming that E Dooley must have died between 1870 & 1880. The surnames I'm researching are: DOOLEY and McNEELEY from Ms, VANDERGRIFT, VANDERGRIFF from Tn and Ar. Again, thank you so much for your help.
