Janice, In the 1870 Census Index of Carroll County: Gibson, J. P., Age 70, Male, White, Born in SC, Carroll County, Carrollton P. O., Roll 723, Page 690. I didn't find any of the other members of the family in Carroll or Calhoun. They would not be listed unless they were Head of Household or lived in a household where the head had a different surname. The data above is the only shown on this index and I don't have the image CD for Carroll Co. A possible match for Francis is: Age 27, Male, White, Born in MS, Choctaw County, Dido P. O., Roll 725, Page 457. Hope this helps Mike

I'd like to ask members of this list what census CDs they have found for MS and what they like the best: what years, are they indexed, are they digitized so you can improve the quality of the image, etc. brands/sources also please. I'd like to buy some, but have found such a huge difference in quality that I'm a little gunshy now. Janet
