Thank you Billy. Virginia just suggested that she might be. Honey

Haven't been able to find her in any of the cemeteries I have checked. She is not buried at Mt. Hebron. She may be buried at Oddfellows Cemetery in Quitman. We have not been able to get up there. Apparently Oddfellows is not online yet. Thanks for all your help. Honey

Honey, On Bennie's confederate penisons, it shows Missouri Gavin , widow, married in Waynesboro, MS. 1896. Billy

No I don't , I was in Wayne Co last week and of course look for my husbands family any where I go , and found that. Do you know where she is buried? Maybe she was a widow.

Hi Virginia, Thanks for the information. It does help a great deal. Although, I have Missouri as Blivin. Do you know where that name came from? Honey

We are looking for David Calloway Gavin who was a Confederate Veteran. He died in 1923 so he would not be in the book to which you referred. I really appreciate your information, though. We are searching for Gavin, Garner, and Nichols. We know David was buried in the Oddfellows Cemetery. Thanks for all your help. Honey

We are looking for David Calloway Gavin who is a Confederate Veteran. He was born 7 May 1841 and died 27 January 1923. His wife's name was Jane. We would appreciate information on any Gavins who might be buried there. You deserve a medal, Billie, for all the help you give to us who are not able to come to Clarke Co. Thank you so much. Honey

Do you know Jane was Jane McCann Davis , they married 21 Dec 1865 Clarke Co Miss Bk 2 Page 27 ? He married Missouri Hunter in Wayne Co Miss 13 Feb 1896 Bk 2 page 213. I do not know yet where Missouri is buried. Gavins are buried Mt Hebron Cemetery in edge of Choctaw Co Al. Choctaw Co Has cemetery records on line if you would like to check them.

There is a book of cemeteries listings that has a particial list of people buried before 1915 ( I may be wrong on the dates) in Clarke County. It is located in the library in Quitman, Waynesboro, Meridian and also at the archives in Jackson.

At this time, I do not know of any list of the Odd Fellows Cem. in Quitman. It is a big cemetery and will probably take someone a few days to list it. I will going back up there in a few weeks, let me know who you are looking for and I will see if I can help. Billy

I found a Dr. E. J. Mathis m/ Mary C. Estes, Clarke County,MS., Dec. 17,1891. There are more Mathises if you have names.---Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: Deborah Wescoatt <Debwes@webtv.net> To: <MSCLARKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 02, 2000 4:00 PM Subject: Re: 1920 Clarke Co.

Does anyone know if there is a documentation anywhere of those people who were buried in the old Oddfellows Cemetery in Quitman? I have relatives buried there and have not been able to find this cemetery listed on any website. Thanks for your help. Honey

I concur as well, and suspected so when I made the post. I decided to spell it in my query as it was on your list. My real dilema derives from the fact that I find no Joseph Grayson in any of the Census'. So, who is he? Is he Thomas J. Grayson, son of Cameron? And if not, then who? He could be a real clue, if anyone has the answer. Thanks for everyone's help! In a message dated 10/2/00 1:40:43 PM Central Daylight Time, bennie@netpathway.com writes: << I concur with Mary.

I'm looking for the James and Mary MATHIS family inClarke co. any help would be apreciated thanks debbie

I concur with Mary. Although the writer clearly spelled it "Josaph" on the membership list, more than likely the correct spelling was "Joseph."

Okay! Some of you super sleuths! My grandparents were Columbus Wesley Risher (1871-1930) & Willie Edna James (1876-1929) who married Dec 9, 1900 in Clarke Co. Death certificate for Willie Edna James lists parents as W. K. James & Naomi Johnson. Marriage license for William G K James & Naomi Johnston is Nov 23, 1876. Tombstone in Mont Rose in Clarke Co. for Naomi C. wife of W K James gives dates as July 15 1861 & d Jan 27 1899 Fontaine site here has Thomas Alexander Fontaine m. Sarah Risher Daughter Elizabeth Jane Fontaine (1837-1917) m. James Patterson Johnston (1835-1914) in Clarke co. in 1857 2nd dau. Naoni C 3rd child b. 1864 Someone is checking on marriage license of William G K James & Naomi Johnston for spelling of her last name. Questions Will let you know when I know more. Hope this Naomi C. is the mother of my grandmother. Also--Mary Long buried in Old Oak Grove b May 6 1884 & d Sep 16 1912 w/o W. K. Risher Anyone know her. Refer to Bennie's queries for additional information on this family. Frann Risher Smith Clark

Marion, if it helps any, I transcribed a Civil War diary, and it was very difficult to distinquish between the A's and E"s. And a double S looks like SP. I would think it is an E in Joseph.---Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: <MGRAYSON98@aol.com> To: <MSCLARKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 8:30 PM Subject: Re: JOSAPH GRAYSON?
