Posted on: Covington Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Covington/786 Surname: BAILEY, PEEBLES ------------------------- I would like to announce that the Diary of Celia L. E. C. Peebles Bailey has now been posted on the Internet via the CHOCTAW COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, USGENWEB SITE at the following address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mschocta/celiapeeblesdiary.html Celia L. E. C. Peebles Bailey was the wife of William R. Bailey. Celia Peebles father was James Peebles, and her uncle was Alpha Peebles. William R. Bailey and Alpha Peebles were among the first of the pioneer settlers of Old Choctaw County. Celia Peebles Bailey, William R. Bailey, and Alpha Peebles are all buried at the Peebles Cemetery in present day Webster County, Mississippi. The PEEBLES CEMETERY roster and headstone photographs are also available for viewing via the WEBSTER COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI USGENWEB site at the following address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mswebst2/peebles.html The PEEBLES FAMILY migrated from Guildford County, North Carolina to Mississippi. The BAILEY FAMILY migrated from Abbeville, South Carolina to Mississippi. Celia L. E. C. Peebles Baileys Diary was written in 1851 and offers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of our brave early pioneer ancestors who settled in Mississippi. The Diary also contains Trading Post Journal entries from 1835 forward. William R. Bailey and Celia Peebles Bailey owned and operated one of the first trading posts in Old Choctaw County that was located on their land grant just east of present day Stewart, Mississippi, in present day Montgomery County. Celia Peebles Baileys Diary was photographed and transcribed in 1979 by Mr. William Waylon Jacks. Celias Diary formed the basis of the early history of the Stewart, Mississippi area that Mr. Jacks documented in his important book, Stewart: A Town to Remember. I encourage all to read this important diary. Celia Peebles Bailey recorded and mentioned many of the names of the early pioneer families that settled in the area that eventually would become Stewart, Mississippi. Many of these pioneer families came from North Carolina and South Carolina. Many of these early families that settled in Choctaw County, Mississippi, eventually moved on to other counties in the state or to other areas in the south. I would like to personally thank the following people that made this publication of Celia L. E. C. Peebles Baileys Diary possible: Mildred Earline Wood Bailey, for retyping the original transcription by Mr. William Waylon Jacks. Gene Marie Grainer Bailey, for editing this edition of Mr. William Waylon Jacks transcription. Jackie Rhodes, for her encouragement and support and work to place this important manuscript on the Internet. And, most importantly, Mr. William Waylon Jacks, for his tireless dedication to the preservation of history, and, specifically, for finding and transcribing this Diary. Shortly after he finished his work on the transcription, the home of the owner of the diary, Mr. Claude Herard, a grandson of William R. and Celia Bailey, burned and the diary was lost forever. If it had not been for Mr. Jacks efforts, the earliest known history of our pioneer ancestors in this part of Mississippi would have been forever lost.
