I have a list of Educable Children in Mississippi dated 5 Oct 1912 for Leland and Greenville, Washington County, MS. I acquired my copy from the MS Dept of Archives and History, Jackson, MS on 3 Nov 1997. The list is 9 pages handwritten. The year 1912 is not included on the web page for Washington County, MS. Leland is Township 18, Range 7; Greenville is Township 18, Range 8. Eloise Hudson Hunt, St. Louis, MO

I did just the 1878 portion for Attala Co.. and was some what frustrated that it was difficult to read, unless you used the zoom, but then it focused on the center of the page and you could not move it around, however, you could print out the page which was clear. For what ever reason the entire page, as shown seemed out of focus, but the zoomed portion of the page was not. I did find the children I was seeking, so just wanted to express my appreciation.

I am researching a Willie Miller Hudson, Greenville, Wash. Co., MS; B Aug 1895, D Sep 1962. Willie lived with the Cuba Bagsby/Lizzie Pitts Bagsby/Lubertha Pitts Wms. family in 1910 in Greenville. Is this Hudson a part of your research? Willie said his grandfather was Jack Hudson, mother was Jeannette Beatrice Williams. This is a brick wall for me.

I am looking for any information on the Couparle Methodist Church on Rocky Hill Road, founded by ex-slaves after the Civil War. I would like to know when the Church was established, who the original Deacons and Elders were, early members and any other historical information. Is the Church still open. Next the Church is a cemetery where many members of the families of Ruffin, Sallie, Jane, Dru/Drew/ Elick/Alex and Heyward are buried. Information would be most appreciated. Judy
