Scott is yet a driving force in the Desoto County Genealogical Society which is located at the DeSoto County Courthouse,d pianist at the Baker's Chapel Methodist Church in Hernando, Mississippi. A possible connection you might wish to look at is ELIZABETH (MORGAN) GREER 1795-1850, who is my gr gr grandmother and is the right age to have been JAMES MORGAN's sister Elizabeth's father is shown as ISAAC MORGAN 1757-1840, born in Faquier Co. VA and shown as having been "PVT, 10th NORTH CAROLINA Regiment in the Revolutionary War". (My records show Elizabeth and six siblings, none of which are JAMES) This was recorded by Mr. Atwell Scott (One of Mildreds cousins) and Mrs. Janice Barnett Craft in May of 1985 at the Morgan-Jackson cemetery which is in Desoto County. (see "Footprints In Time" offered by The Tate County Mississippi Genealogy and Historical Society (601) 562-0390, Thurs & Fri., 10-4:30 (pardon the commercial). There is also a 'J. S. MORGAN' Dec. 6, 1804-July 29, 1858 buried there as well as Roberta Massey 1848-1850, who is listed as the "son" of Allen A. & Susan T. Massey. Susan T. was Elizabeth Morgan's daughter. (I do not know which is correct, the Roberta or "son") Perhaps Mildred could answer this mystery. Anyway this should complicate things a little for you. :>) L&S, Bob Davis Vancouver, WA

I am looking for information on Clarks that lived in that part of DeSoto Co. which eventually became Tate Co. My gg-grandfather was a Lewis Clark b. abt. 1813 or 1815. He married Susannah Gillespie in Marshall Co. in 1836. They settled at Flewellans Crossroads. Lewis later moved to the Arkabutla area. Lewis & Susannah had the following children: Nancy E. Clark who married Obediah Sharp in 1868 , Willaim A. Clark who married Harriett Conner in 1878 , James Lewis Clark who married Sarah E. Waldrop in 1876 , Mary Jane Clark who married Alfred James Hutchison in 1868. I believe that Lewis Clark may be connected to two other Clark men in DeSoto/Tate Co. A Pearl Thames had submitted some family group sheets to the LDS Family History Library that included along with Lewis Clark the names George J. Clark b. abt. 1811 and T.W. Clark born abt. 1812. The grouping of names appears to make these men brothers but I cannot verify that. T.W. Clark had the following children: Julia Clark (I believe married C.P. Varner) Thomas Clark Tyre Clark Lucy Clark Charles Clark Bettie Clark(I think this may have been the first wife of C.P. Varner) Alice Clark George J. Clark had the following children: Sallie Clark Caroline Clark Goodman Clark Chaplin Clark There was one other son whose name was not legible. Would appreciate any help with this family. Thanks.
