Thomas L. Thomson [email protected] Rolla, MO WALL / ANYONE WHO KNOWS I am the Gt. Gt. grandson of Jeff W. Wilkinson and Silas H. Thompson of Amite Co. My father, Marcus Luther Thompson (1906-1984), was born and raised mostly in Amite Co. While reading Shelby Foote's 2nd volume of THE CIVIL WAR, I read that Grierson's raiders fought a battle at "Walls Bridge over the Tickfaw River" just before crossing into Louisiana. Is this the same bridge now called "Mary Wall Bridge" across the East Branch Amite River in southern Amite Co.? -- John E Cain; 1211 Maritime Ln; Wylie, TX 75098 http://www.msgw.org/amite/ -----Amite County MS http://www.rootsweb.com/~jecain/index.htm ----Cain/Ware list and My Website. ------------------------------ To contact the MSAMITE list administrator, send an email to [email protected] To post a message to the MSAMITE mailing list, send an email to [email protected] __________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word "unsubscribe" without the quotes in the subject and the body of the email with no additional text.
