Another interesting connection: There was a Henderson family who lived in our neighborhood (Sunflower County) for fifty or more years, and the daughter and I tried to "claim kinship" through the Hendersons, to no avail. Then I learned that they come from the Rachel Brister and Wiley Green line, and I come from the Serena Guess and Samuel Brister line, making us cousins, as we suspected. Though my mother was very fond of Mrs. Henderson, she never knew they were cousins! I was able to tell one of the Henderson sons, a retired dentist from W. Monroe, LA that we were cousins. He was surprised, and when I mentioned Samuel Brister, he knew. By the way, the retired dentist and now his son was/is my daughter's dentist in W. Monroe! They did not know that she was my daughter until she told them. It is a small world. Mozelle On Feb 4, 2009, at 5:19 PM, Dennis K. Boswell wrote: > Vicki, small world indeed.

Vicki, small world indeed.

Thanks for posting. You are absolutely correct. So many families are connected. Your Nancy Matilda GUESS husband Isaac Marion CUMMINS is my connection. Isaac Marion CUMMINS father was Willis Wilburn CUMMINS, who had a sister Mary Ann CUMMINS who married Isaac ELLARD. Isaac and Mary ELLARD had a son Isaac Milton ELLARD who married Emma Louise CHERRY. Emma CHERRY was sister of my ancestor Sarah Ann CHERRY who married Albert ECRCANBRACK. Also Nancy BRISTER, who married Martin GUESS, had a sister Rachel BRISTER who married Wiley GREEN. Wiley and Rachel GREEN had a daughter Nancy Matilda GREEN who married William Pinkney CUDD and their daughter Rachel Sarah CUDD married Jacob IVEY ancestors to my daughter-in-law. Small world. Also mentioned that Moses GUESS wife Mary BLAIR was a 1st cousin to Daniel BOONE. I know that Daniel BOONE's mother was Sarah MORGAN who married Squire BOONE.

"Having "very large" families may have something to do with it." I Doug, I would add to "very large families," the fact that those same families who arrived in Attala in the 1830s - 1840s tended to stay in Attala thereby diminishing the number of "new prospective" spouses, outside the family, and maintaining the focus on family cousins, nephews, etc. for spouses; and many of those same early families would follow their neighbors from eastern seaboard communities to lands west upon hearing from the first of their neighbors to move to Attala how attractive property prices and tillable soils were, particularly right after government land sales begin in the early 1830s, and to that, I would add that, after the Civil War, many of those same families tended to migrate together further west (Texas, etc.) for the same reasons they may have originally moved to Attala. Contrary to today, families simply stuck together then and needed each other to manage the farms, clear the acreage, etc. I'll bet others on this board have other ideas on why so many Attala families are so closely related ??

There are quite a few descendants of Moses Guess that migrated to MS and Attala County. Some of their descendants may like to read this........   TOCCOA, GA - May 25, 2003   On Sunday, May 25, 2003 at 3:00 pm the Athens, GA Chapter of the Sons of The American Revolution will host a ceremony to place a Patriot Grave Marker at the gravesite of Revolutionary War Patriot Moses Guest. Members of the Athens, GA Chapter and includes two direct descendants of Moses Guest. Joining in the Grave Marking ceremony will be the Paul Carrington Chapter of the Texas Society of SAR, located in Houston, Texas, by the attendance of three of their past presidents who are direct descendants of the Patriot. All descendants of Moses Guest and other interested persons are invited to attend. The gravesite is located next to GA Hwy 63, also known as Sunshine Road, approximately 8 miles south of Toccoa, Stephens County, GA.   Posting of the Colors and Flag Presentations will be done by the Georgia Society of SAR Color Guard under the command of the Honorable Dr. Rivis Butler, Jr. and the State Commander, the Honorable Robert F. Galer, of Columbus, GA. Another feature of the ceremony will be the presentation of a song entitled Saint Mo written and sung by Graham Guest, the leader of a Texas band named Moses Guest. The Reverend Glenn Guest of Shiloh Baptist Church in Danielsville, GA, a direct descendant, will serve as Chaplain. Ralph Guest of Roswell, GA, will bring Moses Guests Bible for all to view. The Toccoa Chapter of the DAR marked the grave many years earlier have been invited to participate in this ceremony.   The Patriot was born in January 1750 in Fauquier County, Virginia, and died October 1, 1838 in Franklin County, Georgia. He married Mary Blair, a first cousin of Daniel Boone in Wilkes County, NC.   In 1775, he was appointed by the Governor as an Ensign in the North Carolina Militia serving under Captain Elijah Issacs in fighting, an Indian uprising. From 1776 to 1780 he served as Captain of Horse under Colonel Armstrong and Colonel Cleveland. Moses had a Company of 50 men including his brothers, Benjamin and William Guest in the battle of Kings Mountain. After the victory, his company was chosen to take over 700 prisoners to Moravian Town, NC. Moses had sixteen children by Mary Blair and one child by his second wife, Eleandor York. He served as Sheriff of Franklin County around 1786, and as Justice of Peace from 1809 to 1816.   We wish to express thanks in advance to Georgia State Patrol, Captain Benje Cowart and Sergeant Elder for assistance with traffic control for the ceremony. Also, our thanks go to the Reverend and Mrs. Ryan Seawright for their help and allowing access to the gravesite.

Also, there was some connection to Herman Tate and I know Irene Tate, his wife or former wife still lives in Kosciusko or Attala County. You may let me know if addresses would be helpful.
