Recently I went to the county page and was able to veiw/browse archived messages. Just tried this again, several times, and it won't open? Needed to find and copy the posting on William Alexander WHITE, son of George WHITE. It had stated that George WHITE, worked for a railroad and named the RR he worked for. At the time, like a dummy, being excited about it. didn't copy the page...it was from either 1998 or 99 archives. Could someone check and see if they can get into it and send the page by email to me? Would appreciate it so much!! Debbie Bein

Posted on: Desoto Co. Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Desoto/336 Surname: EDMISTON ------------------------- I am looking for Edd or Edgar EDMISTON. I found an EDMISTON church in Desoto County, MS in 1872 on the Marshall County search. This is what it said" Brewer, Mary (Mrs. Harmon) 11.15.68 dm Edmiston church, Desoto County, MS, 1872". And "Whitesides, Lou (Mrs. H.E.) 10.16.96, fr. Edmiston Ch, N. MS. Pby" In 1872 my Grandfather was about one year old. I need to find his Father. Thank you

Hi, I am researching EDMISTON. Ed or Edgar EDMISTON born 1869 in MS, was married to Annie Mae Allice. He was supposed to have "papers" from a church, I guess in Mississippi I found him on the 1910 Shelby County, TN census and he was 39 years old.

Russ, I saw your message in the Desoto-D list and I am pleased that you still find time to do a litle Davis genealogy. I talked to cousin Clay Davis in Hernando, MS, today and he gave me the good news that he had located James Nathan Davis in Phillips County Ar. I had been looking for this relative in Union County AR. for a long time, without any luck. It is good to hear from you again. Good luck in your search ! L&S, Bob Davis Vancouver, WA. PS. "Our" Davis family reunion is at Bakers Chapel Methodist church, on Sept.24th. Baker's Chapel is about 6 miles east of Hernando. You are welcome !

I am trying to track down ancestors of James Davis b. circa 1852 d. 1932. He apparently lived in Desoto county most all of his life. On the 1870 census, Dixie post office (my earliest find) he is the eldest child in the household of M.A. Davis a female white age 33 b. in Tennessee. No husband is listed. There are several children and all the boys (except James) relocated in the 1880's to the area around Nimrod Arkansas, without M.A. Davis or the sisters. I am now trying to find the girls and hopefully M.A. Davis with them in an effort to get more information on her. Both Davis girls married in the 1870's in Desoto county. Martha Davis b. 1857 (from 1870 census) married Bishop Conwell 25 Oct. 1873 with James Dockery as Security. James Davis later worked for Dockery as plantation manager and bought land which he lived on for most of his life. Bishop Conwell is of particular interest as he acted as Security on both of James Davis' marriages, one to Bettie Phillips 14 Aug 1875 and Nannie Hart 12 Jan 1878. There is no indication of decendants from the first wife. Bettie Davis b.1854 (from the 1870 census) married Richard Humphreys 16 June 1874 with W. J. Sanders as Security. On the 1870 census Bettie is at the household next door to M.A. Davis household, the household of J.C. White. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a family conncetion with J.C. White or his spouse whose name isn't clear enough for me to pass on yet. The area where the Davis family settled is near the present communities of Cub Lake and Eudora. Eudora has also been called Dixie (1870 census) and also Ellaville. The specific are is at the area near Trinity Baptist Church Township 3 South, Range 9 West. James lived in Section 28 on what is now Barbee road. I suspect that M.A. Davis' spouse passed away during those years of Mr. Lincon's War. Their youngest child was born in 1863. I obviously don't know if it was in military service, natural causes, or divorce by distance. James Davis oldest surviving son was John William Davis, his youngest son was my father, James R. Davis. I am his oldest son J. Russell Davis II. All of James Davis' sons were farmers, one served in WWI. All of James' daughters were farmers wives. Many of the Davis klan left N. Mississippi with the onset of WWII and located in Memphis. Hope to hear from the Conwell or the Humphrey families! Russ Davis (8-})
