Hi: This is to the site manager. I have 4 invitations sent to Miss Cornelia Butler, in 1866 & 1867. Cornelia was my great grandfather's first wife, (Jefferson Davis Dunbar). I have many lines in Copiah & Jefferson Co. I recently got a hold of these invitations, with envelopes, etc. & have scanned them. I would like to share them with this site for anyone who might enjoy seeing them. The unique thing is that each has an invitation committee & they list all the names of the ones on the committee & they are different on each invitation. One is for a MAY BALL given by the yourng men of Gallatin, 1866; another is an invitation to the New Years Ball given by the young men of Terry, 1867; one is an invite to attend a BALL and Supper at the Odd Fellow's Hall Port Gibson, MS, 1866; one is for a Ball in Jackson. Cornelia S. Butler was born, raised, & married in Copiah Co., MS. I have also typed these letters up since the old ink is faded & without enlarging is difficult to read. They will probably be easier to send in this form rather than the scanned originals. Someone who can advise me what to do & or how, please contact me at jholzer321@aol.com. Janice Holzer

I cant help but wonder, where they were held. I forwarded your note on to bob, and am sure you will have a reply, this is really a nice thing, thanks for sharing..

Dear Linda, Thank you ever so much for looking up the marriages for Jeremiah PARKER. I am keeping my fingers crossed that one is my 2nd great grandfather. A lovely gesture on your part during this extreme Christmas time! Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett

I grew up in Crystal Springs, and its part of who I once was and where I came from, my roots are there from the early 1820 through today And transcribing the 1850 census, I found so many people I never really knew about, but putting the pieces together, have been a blessing, and if I can help one person out there, thats why we are all here.

Hello, I would greatly love a Christmas present in the form of the name of a parent or a sibling or names of the 1st two wives of my 2nd great grandfather who was Jeremiah "Jerry" PARKER, born: 1795 or abt. 1795 in Maryland and whom is found on the 1830 Copiah Co., MS Census. It appears that he probably had 3 families instead of just the two previously thought but his first one or two wives names are still unknown. In 1850 he is found on the Smith Co., MS Census and then his 2nd or 3rd wife, my 2nd great grandmother, Sarah "Sally" JENNINGS, born: 1821/1822 in Covington Co., MS, is found as the head of the household in 1870 Rankin Co., MS Census so Jerry must have died prior to that time but don't know exactly when. >From Jerry's apparent 1st marriage there appear to have been several children born prior to the date of the 1830 Copiah Co., MS Census and then there are the other 3 children from the 2nd marriage born in the 1830's and 40's that are in the 1850 Smith Co., MS Census and then there are the 5 children from the 3rd marriage born in the 1850's listed with Sarah "Sally" JENNINGS in the 1870 Rankin Co., MS Census. Looking forward to hearing from someone out there in "PARKER-LAND." Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett
