Anyone researching a Dewitt Jones? He would have lived from around 1840 on. I don't know anything else about him. This information was given to be by his great niece about 23 years ago in an interview. An interview, which I just found the notes on.Dewitt could have lived in some of the following counties: Wilkinson, Amite, Franklin, Copiah, Pike, Jefferson, or Adams. He would have had a brother named Austin Jones who was born in 1839 in probably Wilkinson County. Austin was in the 6th Ms. Infantry. He married Nancy Ann Walker. They were living in Franklin county, on the 1880 census. Thank you. Johnie

Is her father Joseph SCOTT, Jr. who has no birthdate? Who also died in Franklin C., Miss. Also, does anyone know of a Lawrence SCOTT who was born about 1780 in NC? Thanks, Melba Preece

Recently I saw requests for information on locating copies of the 'Confederate Grave Registrations' and Mrs. McBee's 'Natchez Court Records'. I believe both request were on the Amite mailing list but I am sending this to Franklin and Wilkinson as well. I think it is something that will interest many of you. www.willowbendbooks.com has a CD that includes the following: MS Confederate Grave Registrations, [2 vols.] Mississippi Index of Wills 1800-1900 Marriage and Deaths from MS Newspapers [4 vols] Histories of Attalla, Carroll, Holmes, & Yazoo counties. all for $55 plus shipping. They have a great selection of genealogy, books, CDs and maps. Quite a bit on Mississippi. www.heritagequest.com has May Wilson McBee's "Natchez Court Records',[V167-3] but only on Microfilm. Casey's 3 vols. of the 'History of Amite co, MS'[V167-7] is also available on microfilm. They are not in the catalog by the name of the books, but as: 'MS records filmed in Indiana' www.heritagebooks.com has a good selection of MS books, including "From the Files of the Republican'. [Woodville, Wilkinson co. MS] Be aware, one company may have the book you want and another have the same book, plus several more, on a CD for little more than the cost of one book. Do a little exploring before you place your order. Virginia

Glenn, Not only did my mother teach Sunday school with your mom, but your mom taught one of my cousins in elementary school. It's indeed a small world, and I remember our mothers' combined surprise when they realized who the other was. They must've felt the way I do now when I run into a cousin I didn't know about on the Rootsweb lists! I'll write you privately later today.

Hi Nancy, My dad, Cleon Cupit, 1905-1981, is the 3rd man from the right. His right shoulder is behind your mother's head. Somewhere, (I can't put my hands on it this morning) I have dad's High School Belt Buckle, which I believe has the initials, FHS or FCHS on it. I had his ring, but lost it when I was a teenager. Thanks so much for posting this, I had never seen it, although, I knew he went to all the reunions. Regards, Glenn Glenn Cupit, b 1938 Wilson, LA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Brister" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 10:46 PM Subject: [MSFRANKL-L] Re: What's New? > Sonya, > The website is at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~msfrank2/siteindex.htm > The pictures of the Franklin Co.

Right now the only one I can identify in the school pic is my Mother.....seated 5th from left on the front row!
