The first four columns in the 1819 Tax Roll are: Name of Person Acreage Payments Quality Does anyone know about column 3 - Payments? What kind of mortgage system was being used in Amite County in 1819? To whom were the payments being made, i.e. U.S. government, local bank, State Bank, etc. and for how long? Many thanks, Ron McCall Kingsport, TN

Hester G. ARNOLD born about 1844 and Elizabeth born about 1843 Amite Co., MS. Parents were Thomas ARNOLD who died 24 Feb 1845 Amite Co., MS leaving Thomas Marsalis as the administrator of his estate. Guess that also meant raising his daughters which he did. Thomas ARNOLD was married to Larisa BECK. Her parents were Henry BECK and Esther CHADDICK. CHADDICK's and MARSALIS are connected by daughter Martha Elizabeth who married William Hewett CHADDICK, she died in Collin Co., TX 1880.

Could I trouble you for a copy of the page(3) in your land patent book for this section, down to the state line, of Amite Co.? I think it would include the Miller Creek acreage.

Author: ggLongmire Surnames: Butler Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.mississippi.counties.amite/1211.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Good morning, Ray. Seems like you are still trying to locate the burial of DECATUR NOONAN BUTLER (1858-1894). The most concise list of known Amite County MS burials is the publication by Uvvon Serena Abbess Haymon, AMITE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI CEMETERIES (Greenwell Springs, Louisiana: Uvvon Serena Abbess Haymon, 1993), which was a reprint of that by J. Paul Mogan, Jr. and Kathryn Cole Mogan with Glen Huff, entitled AMITE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI CEMETERIES (Osyka, Mississippi: Paul & Kathryn Mogan, 1982). I have a copy, and found no burial of Decatur therein when we corresponded by email early this month. As I posited in my email message to you at 5:43 pm on 5 July 2012: "The lack of a burial tombstone could indicate a couple of things: 1) that the family was somewhat indigent (no disrespect intended), and buried him without much more than a rock on top; or 2) he died at sea/river and body was lost; or 3) he lost his life in the (later) Spanish-American War, records for which ! would be readibly available." Otherwise, an approach that I mentioned to you before would be to locate a mention in an surviving church record (Casey Vol. 2 would be a start). Finally, you might examine the newspapers of about his death date (30 March 1894) to see if there be a mention of his burial. Would recommend that you go to Jackson MS and visit the MDAH for access to its microfilms thereof. (I also have all the films, and could scroll through them at some time for you, an onerous task!)
