That would be great to have 1900. I joined Heritage Quest as you suggested. Will order Jasper for 1900. My grandparents married in Dec 1900 in Clarke Co but were in Jasper on 1920 census according to information a cousin gave me several years ago.

John, I had part of the 1880 census posted before the "incident" and may put it back on soon. There are some pages of the 1880 Clarke census that are virtually white--can't make out anything. I'm not sure right now if I'm going to finish the entire census, but may do as Ken Simpson done for Wayne County, just post an index. Also, had part of the 1900 census heads of households and others in same household with different surname. Might pick up on that one soon, too.

Bennie: You are a dear. You just saved me a trip to the library to look up a family on the censuses in order to answer a question for someone relating to a mutual connection. I don't know about other folks but I owe you big time. Thanks to Billy also for the new Confederate page because now we can find more family. Fortunately our library has all the Confederate Pension Applications so I have been able to locate my greatgrandfather's pension application. He was a Jones Co. soldier. Now knowing who else may be related will help put whole families together. Thanks again guys.

Bennie, Thanks so much for your decision to repost the cemetery information. I have found several people on your website that I had been unable to find any where else. You have been so generous with your time and I am really grateful. If there is any way I can help, all you have to do is ask. We really appreciate you. Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU!!!!!!! Honey

Your kind heartedness has truly touched me.My roots were in Clarke county, and as a child I cherished all the stories my mom told us about the relatives.We longed to go to the "hills" as she called your area .after marriage my dad took her to the delta. I only recall two trips back to the "hills", but the stories still ring in my mind, and you have filled in so much of the gap. It is almost like I knew each of them.So many, many thanks. remember God loves a cheerful giver mazelle ----- Original Message ----- From: Bennie White <bennie@netpathway.com> To: <MSCLARKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2000 8:19 AM Subject: Re-post of several cemeteries > I've reluctantly decided to begin re-posting some of the data I had > removed earlier.
