<<Snip>>I am not related to this family, I'm just passing on this information that I found while doing research on Lynchings. The link for the site is listed below.>>Clip<< Did your research unearth any information prior to the 1880's? One of my grandmother's uncles was shot in Hardy MS in 1870 or thereabouts - Yalobusha/Grenada County. John Booker killed by Jimmy Martin. Oral history has it that the family was paid $200 in damages.
