For your information, Mary McCool Fenwick, (Mrs. Ed) died Nov. 27, 2000. Her son, Jason McCool Fenwick, died March 13, 2000. I try to keep the obituaries of people I knew from Attala Co. None of us will be around to quote from this book by the time we would legally be entitled to. Bernice Carter

Jim, Copyright protection begins with the creation of the work or when it is registered. Copyright protection lasts for the lifetime of the author and then for a period of seventy years after the death of the author. Also, it can not be assumed that all of the Fenwicks have passed away. Mrs. Edward Fenwick had a nephew named Eddie Fenwick (Bertha's son) that currently resides in Kosciusko. I believe he is an attorney. I wrote to him seeking to obtain permission to post the cemetery listings to the Attala County MSGenWeb site, but did not receive a reply. I don't recall exactly when Marymagnos Fenwick passed away, but we will have to wait 70 years from that date before we can post information to the Internet using the "Attala County Mississippi Cemeteries" book as a source. That is, unless I can obtain written permission from a descendant. If anyone living in Kosciusko knows Eddie Fenwick and could convince him to give permission, all Attala County researchers would be grateful.

Are there any other researchers working on the Sharkeys and the Oldhams, some of whom were in Attala at the time of the Civil War, others in Hinds and Carroll? I'd like very much to collaborate with others. Linda Oldham

Attala County researchers, The following message is from a non-subscriber with interest in Attala County. If you have information that would be helpful to Robert Foster please send your replies directly to his private e-mail address. Everette Carr List Administrator ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Foster" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 12:14 PM Subject: {not a subscriber} Adam Foster 1840 census Adam Foster, age 20-30, and apparently unmarried, is the very last name on the 1840 Attala Co. census. He is listed as white, but all of his immediate neighbors are Choctaw Indians. The fact that Indians are enumerated on this census and listed as free blacks came as quite a surprise to me. I have seen a few individual Indians listed on other censuses, but it was a very rare practice, and to see so many in one county was a revelation. Does anyone know who this Adam Foster was? He, along with most of the Choctaws in Attala Co., are gone by 1850. Did he accompany them to the Indian Territory? And how does Adam relate to the Emily Foster aged 15, b. Mississippi and Margaret Foster aged one year, b. Texas who are on the Rusk Co., Texas census? They were living in the household of James Simmons who moved to Texas from Attala Co. in the 1850s. I am particularly interested in this Foster-Simmons relationship and would like to hear from anyone with ties to Attala and Winston Co., Mississippi who knows anything about these families.

Thanks Wanda, I really did not do the work on the Dickson's and what I have was given to me by someone else. That Joseph Dickson from North Carolina looks interesting. Marilyn

Hi Buzz, I have the wife of a Morgan Guess [b. Aug. 23, 1773 d. Feb. 8, 1853] as Jane Walker [b. 1765 Ireland d. before 1825 in Copiah Co., Ms.] Are they the same as the parents of Serena Guess who married Samuel Brister ? If Serena Guess was born in 1818 this Jane Walker Guess would have been age 53.

Hi all, I found a site that mentions some Attala County residents. Thought it might interest you. These also make good reading. These are Holmes County Newspapers from the 1860's. Mentioned are: Mrs. L. A. Winters-McCool Miss Sallie McMillan-Kosciusko John Waugh-Kosciusko John Shipp-Ethel Wm Wynn-Sallis J. M. Turner-Sallis Miss R. H. and L. H. Carr-McCool Also a note about Robert S. Hudson, whose blacksmith shop burned, taken from the Kos Chronicle. I tried to be sure to get all the local names but might have missed one.

MSATTALA-L Subscribers This is a test of the mail delivery system. Earlier today AOL was rejecting mail from MSATTALA-L to subscribers that utilize AOL as their Internet server. If you are an AOL subscriber, you need not make contact. That would be an indication that the problem has been taken care of. If the mail is again rejected, RootsWeb will notify me. Once it is confirmed that the problem has been resolved, I will repost all messages sent to the list during the period that the problem was evident. As I indicated above, no one on the MSATTALA-L needs to take any action. I am sure the problem can be resolved soon if it has not already been taken care of.
