Jackie, the Chancery Clerk, Clarke Co. Court House, has a record of divorces for the 1860's and 1870's (and probably other years). Bennie
Jackie, I sent the last post prematurely without completely reading the dates. If he was there in 1867, my CW theory doesn't hold up. Sorry for the inconvenience. I have seen those Woodard names somehwere in my own research.

Was William in the Civil War? My ancestor, George McLemore, ( from one of the other families that are not found on the 1870 census) enlisted in Colombus, MS because that was where some of the Clarke Co. men had already gone with this particular unit. It was Turners Battery- Lt.Artillary(Chickasawhay Desperadoes) MS. When the war was over, they were paroled to Citronelle. Maybe Woodard was in one of those units that was paroled there, and his wife went to be with him. Maybe he was injured and died there, and she just stayed. Good luck in your research.

Hi Marion, Thanks for your reply on my Deed of Trust question. I don't think there was a family relationship with the Chapman man who was the trustee on the deed but I think he may have been representing the merchant. I checked back on the 1870 Clarke Co. MS census around Becky Woodard's dwelling (Rebecca A. Woodward) and found no Chapman listed, so he doesn't appear to be a neighbor of hers in Enterprise. Her brother, Samuel Loftin Williams, lived next door to her at the time so I am surprised that he didn't file the Deed of Trust for her. I am surprised that the County would allow a woman to file the deed on her own name and it doesn't mention her husband's name at all. I don't think she was a widow in 1870 because her last child was born in October of 1872, but you never know! She and her husband, William Woodard or Woodward, moved to MS about 1867 from Clarke Co, AL where they were from. He registered to vote in Jasper Co., MS in 1867, then Rebecca appears in 1870 in Enterprise with her children, and filed the deed of trust. Her husband does not appear in the 1870 census either in MS or AL or LA or TX, although I understand from Bennie White, that the 1870 Clarke Co. MS census was not complete. Rebecca Woodward showed up in Citronelle, AL (Mobile Co., AL) in the 1880 census so I am not sure when she left MS and moved back to AL. I have never found any more info on William Woodard, no grave or death date. She may have been widowed or perhaps divorced him but I don't know. Our aunt has his voters registration dated 1867 which is the only document of his that survived. You would think since that much folded piece of paper survived, that his family would have known of his death and received his personal effects which would indicate a death rather than divorce. His grandaughter (age 83) told me that she heard that he was a gambler but she had no knowlege of what happened to him. I was hoping that when Bennie got around to recording the Enterprise Cemetery, a grave for him might be found! Any ideas for me? I think I need to check the divorce records to be sure she did not divorce him but I don't know where they would be located for Clarke Co., MS. Do you know? Thanks, Jackie Feldman Sammamish, WA
Billy, I am looking into some options and have played with a couple of password programs, but so far they are not what I am looking for. I feel for the folks who are not able to visit the county resources in person. I will keep trying for a solution. I want to let all of you know that I have no plans right now of making the site a pay-for-view site. If I can't come up with a plan that won't cost any $, then I most likely will let it stay as is.

We recently had the joy of going to the courthouse in Quitman, and noticed some deeds like you're speaking of, where they deeded their land (and even a mule) for a debt to be paid off to Kirkland. My husband tells me that Kirkland owned a feed store, but I also noticed on a death certificate from 1894, that Kirkland was the undertaker. Could it be that she was in debt for a funeral? By the way, tell me more about your CHAPMANS and WOODWARDS. I am researching GRAYSONs in Clarke County, and there was a SAMUEL C. GRAYSON that married a MARY ANN CHAPMAN. Marion in Texas :) In a message dated 9/18/00 7:53:41 PM Central Daylight Time, Jackiefeld@aol.com writes: << Listmembers and Bennie, I am curious if it was unusual for a woman to file a Deed of Trust in 1870 in Clarke County using 1/4 of her crop and livestock as collateral?

Bennie, I know that you have worked hard and long on your records, but isn't there a way that you can put the information back. Maybe by blocking it some way. There are a lot of people that can't travel and sit in the Court house looking for records. I know that you can't and don't have the time to answer all the queries that you get. I hope that you can come with something. Billy
Bennie, I am so sorry this happened to you, and by extension, to all of us with roots in Clarke County. When I first began researching my family, yours was the site that inspired me and taught me what kinds of records are out there to purchase or pursue through the local library. It was a great place to start out: through your site, I have met many very nice people who have helped me fill in some of my many blanks. I live in California, and the chances of my being able to actually do on-site research in Quitman are right next to zero. I have always felt that your site was the mark to which others might aspire. It never occurred to me that some folks might actually claim your hard work as their own. Thank you for continuing to offer look-ups. However, I fear this might have a very negative impact on your time limitations. I hope that you find some way to protect your work, yet continue to share it with others like me who just needed that little bit of online serendipity to get started on a family quest. Count me in for whatever you decide to do. --Beth Callahan (GARY, TRAWEEK) -----Original Message----- From: Bennie White [mailto:bennie@netpathway.com] Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2000 9:36 AM To: MSCLARKE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Clarke page I've just posted some new info concerning the Clarke site at Ben's Corner.

Bennie, I am simply devastated. My roots are from Clarke Co. and I have verified and gleaned a lot of information from your site. You made it so easy. Surely there is a way to rectify this. Beverly had a lot of good ideas. And Marion also, but hate to resort to another pay first, play later site. If this is what it takes, so be it. Keep my name and address for anything you might decide to do, and I might add that we in Texas all have ROPES. Eula

I want to thank each and every one of you for your overwhelming response to the Notice I posted. I appreciate all the ideas and suggestions that have been presented. I will certainly consider each one of them. I hope I haven't mislead anyone about the future of the Clarke site. I am not closing down, just "down sizing". I have already removed all the files that I will be removing. What's left will stay. Queries will go on as usual. Thanks again! Bennie
Dear Bennie, I would like to say that i am sorry that this has happended. You have helped me so much in my search for ancestors.
