Posted on: Covington Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Covington/10968 Surname: Bullock, Rutland, Robertson, Davis, Graves ------------------------- Faye, Thanks for the response. Sarah was one of the children I didn't have. I have info on Sidney and some of his descendants if you need it. Joel was b about 1781 in Robeson Co, NC and moved to MS about 1818. So far, there has been no connection made between Joel and Silas, who, of course, is also reported to have been born in NC. Joel settled in what was then Lawrence Co, just south of present day Prentiss, MS. He was married to Rhoda Davis of Marion District, SC. Rhoda's brother, Zaborn, was married to Joel's sister, Esther and they also moved to MS about the same time. Quinney was a son of Joel and Rhoda. He married (1) Eliza Smith, and (2) Lydia Graves about 1839. Lydia was the dau of Robert Hiram and Celia Dickens Graves of the Leaf River Community. I haven't gotten far on the Graves or Dickens, but they were reportedly born in GA. Quinney's daughter, Susana, married William Allen Rutland and moved to Lincoln Co about 1880. You may also be interested in the Robertson connection. Allen and Susana Bullock Rutland's daughter, Olevia, married Robert A. Robertson, son of Henry and Mary Robertson. Henry and Mary are buried in the Sills/Cliburn Cemetery between Monticello and New Hebron in Lawrence Co. I don't have Henry's parents, but I do know of three other children: John Robertson married Vera White. Sarah Emmaline married James Lafayette White (Vera's uncle) There was another brother, Israel Robertson. I don't know they fit into your Robertson's, but if they do, I can help out a little with descendants, if you need it. Loretta

Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Covington/10964 Surname: Rutland, Stewart ------------------------- I don't have anything on the descendants of Joe or Josephine Sanford Rutland, only tombstone pics. I have a James Stewart, age 29, living with Jane Stewart, age 50, on the 1850 Covington Census. Also living in the house is John Rutland, age 22. Some researchers say Asa and Catherine Rutland had a daughter, Jane, who married a Stewart and died before 1850. Ii'm not sure if Jane Stewart was a Rutland and a sister to Asa, or who she was, but it does seem likely. Sorry, there is no middle initial for James Stewart. Loretta
