My husband's paternal grandfather was a Davis - I think before 1880 he may have been in Copiah or Simpson Co., then in Lawrence until he died in early 1900's. His name was Anderson Davis - don't know anything about his family (ancestors) unfortunately. What was your gggrandmother's first name?

My gggrandmother was from that area. Originally she was a Davis. She married a Felters and then a Beines Bournes or Burns. I couldn't locate her for years because all relatives who knew of her in the 20's and 30's she her last name was Burns. In the 1800s she was in the Adams, Wilkinson and Jefferson County area. She later show up in Bolivar County area where some of my family had moved.

I am researching Lawrence, Jeff Davis and Covington Cos, in MS as well. My husband's mom was a Bowens and some of the family spelled it Bournes. Her dad was Charlie Bowens they lived around the Silver Creek area. His dad was Willis and their name was spelled Bowens, Bournes, Bourns over the years. I remember seeing Ishman Bournes and family in my research.

Are you the daughter of Rev. Dr. Jeremiah a. Wright, Jr.?

Go to the movies and check out ‘The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till’ ---Filmmaker Keith Beauchamp has launched his groundbreaking film, THE UNTOLD STORY OF EMMETT LOUIS TILL. Beauchamp says, "My mother always instilled in me the importance of helping those who cannot help themselves, just as in the Emmett Till case; Emmett could not speak for himself, and he was denied justice. I felt it was my obligation as a young person in this country to make sure that this case was reopened.” The Award-winning documentary, now shown in select theaters around the country, is a culmination of a 10-year effort to uncover the details behind the nightmarish murder story and has led to a national effort to re-open the case and investigate new evidence and witnesses to the murder. New York Magazine called the film "The most important documentary of the year and an essential tale of what it means to be an American." For more information or for a list of theaters go to: _www.emmetttillstory.com_ (http://www.emmetttillstory.com/) or _www.thinkfilmcompany.com.....Go_ (http://www.thinkfilmcompany.com.....go/) see it…and let us know what you think.
