Do you have names of brothers & sisters of Thomas? I think the William James, age 18 of AL in 1860 census, is my grandfather. Rice is a new name for this group of people.

Posted on: Clarke Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Clarke/278 Surname: Burgoyne, Reed ------------------------- Sarah, no maiden name. Married Lewis Burgoyne from France. She was born in South Carolina. In 1850 she was listed with several children in Clark County MS. About 1852 she went to Bradley Co. Arkansas. In 1869 her daughter, Nancy married William Jefferson Reed, also known as jeff or J. W. Reed in Cleveland County Ark. Please contact me at kittyink@aol.com if you have any information on this family . Thanks, Pat.

Hi As most of you know my Mother died Oct. 4. She had been writing in a memory book for me the past couple of years. When she died, it was beside her chair. I have not read anything in this until after her death. It is ironic what she wrote about grandparents. "The only grandparent I remember was Grandpa James. He was a very neat man--small in statue & had a mustache." Mother was born in 1915. Her mother, Willie Edna James Risher died in April 1929, shortly after their house burned & her father built a smaller house. He died October 1930. Her grandmother James (Naomi Johnston) died in 1899. Her grandfather James married again & had one child, W. K., that I know about. I suppose I need to check the Alabama census because some of the James children were born in AL. Maybe Mobile & Choctaw counties--any other? Frann

I too have also wondered who these James children are, and why they are scattered. Maybe the father had died and the mother was ill and could not care for them at the time for some reason or another.

I've often wondered about those children living in that home. Here's another James/Risher connection. I have Mildred Whitlock, who married John Risher. Her niece, Sara Whitlock (daughter of William Asa Whitlock) married Thomas James. I know the names of the children of Thomas James but don't have the names of the children of his siblings. They fit into this puzzle in some way. Kay

One more time!!!(Maybe). If any of you can help me find my Martha(Margaret) Risher, born 1830,AL, married to James F.Bolton SR.,born AL., I will be your slave forever. You see how desperate I am. They show up on the Clarke County,MS 1850 census, living next to John and Lydia Bolton, his parents. They have one year old Susan with them.I found Martha listed as Margaret Risher on her son's death certificate. My father always said Martha's father was a James Risher. James Bolton's brother, Osborne Lockett Bolton, married Nancy Risher, born 1833 in AL. Martha was born in AL, and Nancy in MS. So they apparently came from AL . to MS. between 1830 and 1833.I also have information from Nancy's family that Nancy was born Apr. 5,1833, in MS. I also see she married in AL. Apr. 24, 1851. I know the Boltons were planters, and they went back and forth from Al to Ms several times.I know there were Boltons in the Thomas Lockett and Margaret Osborne families. A Thomas Bolton farther back.Martha Risher is the one I am trying to find, as she will lead me to the pthers.--Mary---MiiMii4@worldnet.att.net

Wife of Thomas Carter would be sister of this child's mother. Benjamin Risher would be related--his wife Mary Fontaine & John Fontaine were bro. & sis. John Fontaine is ancestor of Thomas Alexander Fontaine.

Oh, and Frann, Lucinda JAMES married the brother of our James C. GRAYSON, Reuben GRAYSON.

Sarah & Thomas had a daughter Elizabeth Jane Fontaine who married James Patterson Johnston. Elizabeth & James had a daughter Naomi C. Johnston--think she is possibly my great grandmother. Naomi would be sister to Martha S. who married Carter. My grandfather was William G. K. James married to Naomi C. Johnston We can't find anything on him. I do know he was married twice. Several children by Naomi & at least one by another wife. Half brother is W. K. James. Naomi C. is buried at Mont Rose in Clarke Co. We can't find his place of burial. Sarah could be a grandparent to these James children. If my Naomi is siter to your Martha, this would be a link. Don't know why they are scattered.

Frann, Good morning. First, let me tell you how sorry I am for your recent loss. Your cousin that got us together told me. You asked, Questions on the James children. In the 1860 census Lucinda James, age 13, is living with Sarah Fontain(e). Could this be Sarah Risher who married Thomas Alexander Fontaine? She is next to A. G. & Mary McLemore & there is a connection with these families. The answer is yes. Sarah Risher Fontaine (widow of T.A. Fontaine) were the parents of Mary S. Fontaine that married Thomas K. Carter. Their daughter Martha J. Carter married our James C. Grayson. Now my question is what is the connection? Why would a "James" child be living with the different members of the Fontaine-Carter-Risher families? 1850 Clarke Co., MS Census: Frances James 8 F MS living with Benjamin Rasher/Risher Amelia James 6 F MS living with Thomas K. Carter 1860 Clarke Co., MS Census: Lucinda James 13 F MS living with Sarah Fountain Note: Sarah Fountain and Benjamin Rasher/Risher were brother and sister. Thomas K. Carter was the son-in-law of Sarah We, too, have Johnson/Johnston's, and McLemore's in our line. Tell me more, and especially tell me the connections with the JAMES families.
