I just started doing some research on a friends family. His great-Uncle(I think)was Wilson Otis Booker. I know Yalobusha County is close to Tallahatchie County, which is where he told me to start my research. I am curious if John is a relative of his. I think his grandfather was Henry Booker. Any information would be helpful. Thank you. Marsha in Minnesota On Jan 30, 2006, at 11:29 PM, Edda R.
