Bennie, thank you for making this decision. The information you post is so valuable to so many. Erline

Bennie, God Bless you! I know your dilema...........and none of us can blame you! But can I tell you how EXCITED I am!?! You are the best! (If you don't believe me, just read these posts and the ones on other boards that give you accolades all the time!) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

There will be a place for Soldiers that are buried in other areas, also memorial markers but They must be from Clarke Co. MS. This is going to be a big project and I believe a good source of information. So send what you can. Appreciate Bennie for letting us use his web site. Billy

Thanks so much Bennie, we have really missed your information.

Bennie: Where did you ultimately end up purchasing the microfilm? I would like to purchase for donation to my local genie group after researching my family. Of course I don't have dates of death on any of the ancestors I'm seeking... Sharon _______________________________________________ Why pay for something you could get for free?

Poldi, Your Sarah J. Carter who married Jesse Lankford--was she the daughter of Allen A. Carter and Sarah McLemore Carter? I have seen this marriage before and wondered if this was my Sarah McLemore? If so, do you know anything about where Allen and Sarah Carter are buried in Texas? By the way, to all those on the list, it is great to see so much activity lately. I appreciate Benny, Billy, and all who are so helpful.

Some new info posted at Ben's Clarke site: The JAMES Family http://www.netpathway.com/~bennie/james.htm Clarke County and the Civil War http://www.netpathway.com/~bennie/CCCivilwar.htm Thanks to Frann and Billy for these great additions! Bennie

Thanks to both of you for all you are doing for us out here. I will try to forward material to you as I can and you can be the judge about posting. If you have an extra fileclerk/typist I surely can use one.

Sounds like another wonderful addition to the Clarke site, Poldi & Billy. As long as they served from Clarke County, I have no problem.

Poldi, This is good records for genealogy seachers. Maybe after the list of Clarke Co . burials, we can list the ones buried in other places. I will get with Bennie and check it out. I am sure that some of the Carters, Philips and others would like the information. Billy

Hello Billy and Bennie: My greatuncle Jesse Lankford who served as 2nd Lt. MS 8th Inf. Co. F. born 15 April 1832, died 25 January 1879 is buried in the Masonic Cemetery in Gainsville, Coryell Co. Texas. I think you only wanted the data for Civil War veterans buried in Clarke Co. but since the family lived there prior to 1840 I thought I might just pass on the info. Maybe one of his descendants would like to know where he is buried, etc. On the 1880 census it shows that he was the Sheriff of Clarke Co. He was married (1) Sarah J. Carter and (2) Mary Ann Phillips, a widow. His only child by Sarah, Ida married Absalom Calhoun Ulmer and they raised many children, all the sons carrying Lankford as a middle name. I am in contact with their granddaughter who now lives in Williamsburg, VA. Jesse's parents were Daniel Lankford and Lavisa Lott. Hope this is of benefit to other researchers.

Posted on: Clarke Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Clarke/266 Surname: TARPLEY, HARMON ------------------------- I am looking for information regarding the marriage of Thomas Rigley Tarpley and Margalean Harmon, probably in early 1930's, believed to have been in Newton or Clarke County, MS. I would appreciate any help on obtaining this information. It is very important to a family member.

I want to thank everyone that is sending me information on their Civil War Soldiers. Be sure to send what dates you have --birth--death --buried--etc. I have talked to Bennie and it will be ok to put them on his web site . The records will be put under Civil War in a place of Honor, which they deserve. It will take some time to do this, but it will be done. Thanks Billy
