Thanks Everette and Wanda for the info on the burials. I had Davidellas and Frederick's but did not know if the rest of the family was buried there or not. This helps tremendously. Everette, the Jesse Kirk Mills is probably right. Tennie's grandmother was Martha Kirk and Frederick even named his oldest daughter, Martha Kirk Zollicoffer. The Kirk name was used many times as a middle name in this family i.e. Felix Kirk Zollicoffer, first Confederate general killed in the Civil War. Do either of you know of anyone in the Attala County area that takes photos of tombstones? I have met some in areas that do this and either e-mail them or mail copies. Some charge for it and some do it as a lookup. I am willing to pay if I need too. I am using them for my research and then am posting them at FindAGrave.com for future use of others. I do lookups in this area (Maury County, TN) in the same way and offer photos when requested. I then try to post those photos to Find A Grave and to the Maury County, Tennessee Cemeteries site. Thanks again for the info and if you know of someone in the area who might could get photos of the Zollicoffer graves (digital or otherwise), I would appreciate it too.
