Thank you for all the work involved in transcribing the census. This has been very helpful in my search for James Owens and his wife. Would it be possible to check on one age in the Knoxville Dist for the family of James J Owens. Rufus and William are both shown as 11 and from other records I have found one is actually younger than the other. I think Rufus would be the youngest.

Hi again Folks I forgot one of my most important web addresses on the list I sent out this morning! If you are a descendant of Hugh Cunningham or one of his children's Corban, Seale, Herring lines, this is a must see! I found Hugh's roots! This is a collection of letters from various Cunningham relatives including David Cunningham, Alzenith Cunningham Corban, Robert Farr Corban, etc.!

I am now working on 1930 Jefferson County Census. 1930 Roxie and Hamburg are online at the USGenWeb Census Project and also in the MSGenweb Library. 1930 Rodney and Harriston should be available online shortly.

Would someone with index to 1870 Franklin Co., MS, Census please lookup Richard B. Adams and family for me?? Many thanks, Ona Patrick

Searching for marriage record of George Wilder LOVRIEN to Hildur Johanssen WICK which took place in 1908. May be Franklin or Jefferson county. Is there a death index for the years 1886-1900, maybe at the Meadville library? Thank you for any help. Michelle

Michelle, George Wilder LOVRIEN & Hildur Johanssen WICK are not listed in Franklin County marriage records and there is no such thing as a Franklin County index of deaths for the years 1886-1900. No one by these surnames is listed in the Mogen's book on Franklin County cemeteries which was published in 1982. Tony Miller

To all, does anyone know who the people in the following were? we think the Robert THORNHILL is the man that later settled in Franklin Co, Mississippi but who are the others? w here did the settle? and are they related to each other? thanks, Debbie From "Passports Issued by Governors of Georgia, 1785-1820:" "Saturday, 2nd March 1811. On application ORDERED that passports be prepared for the following persons to travel through the Creek Nation of Indians, to wit, one for Mr. ROBERT THORNHILL, Mr. William Thornhill and his wife and five children and his wife's mother, Mr. William Odom, Mr. Joseph Thornhill with his wife and six negroes.....all from Beaufort District, South Carolina. Which were presented and signed." The timing is right and it looks as though Robert is still single when he travels across GA to the MS Territory. William and Joseph were probably his brothers.

Since everyone needed a passport to pass through the Indian Nations during this time period, the passport books are a really good resource for otherwise hard to find names. I hope this is your Robert. (They don't usually give the wife or children's names, so I don't know if you'd like to have the info, but there are two Middletons in the book......John and Martin.)

Hi folks! I just had to pass along the URL to Elaine Randall English's Tribute to 9-11 website at rootsweb! It is simply awesome! I looked at it for the first time yesterday and asked Elaine if I could pass it along to you. She said, yes, she would be honored. Well, you know me, I forgot to bookmark the address. Last night I just looked at it and thought, Oh how wonderful, without putting on my headphones! (Those of you who know me personally, know I am almost deaf as a post so I rarely use speakers.) Tonight, I was listening to some music while I looked for the address to the site and when I found it again, I was speechless. Elaine has the most awesome midi medley playing on this site that I was crying by the end of it. You simply owe it to yourself to see this. Be sure and click on the link to also look at the anniversary tribute and remember all of those who died and their families tonight and tomorrow and also those of who must remain without them for a little while lon! ger.

I have been looking for more on Lucinda Reynolds wife of John Lang in this area(along with Lawrence and Amite counties). The were married early 1800's--their daughter Juliann Lang b in 1819 in MS (only child) married James Harrison Sutton in 1836. I know nothing of John Lang or Lucinda Reynolds- Her birth on census records show born in SC. I believe her fathers name may be John Reynolds. Family stories say that John Lang came from Ohio. I cannot confirm anything. Kathy

The info that I have about Mr Scott dying and leaving Amanda Reynolds with 2 small boys came from "The Genealogy of Wilkinson and Kindred Families".......... and now I am afraid that I am so very confused, more so than normal, that is a scary place to be. yvette

ED, SORRY, I HADN'T HEARD ABOUT YOUR ILLNESS. TAKE IT EASY AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. ALL THIS OTHER CAN WAIT. YES, I KNOW ABOUT THE MOAK'S AND MOKE'S. SOME OF MY MOKE FAMILY CONTINUED TO SPELL IT MOKE EVEN AFTER TO MOVING TO MISSISSIPPI. THE MAJORITY STARTED SPELLING IT MOAK. IN FACT, I NEVER SEE THE MOKE ANY MORE. TAKE CARE, LYNDELL

In reply to your query "Amanda Reynolds b app 1808 in Franklin county to Thomas Reynolds 1776, from the Fairfield district SC and Mary Meredith 1782........she married (according to family lore) a Mr. Scott, he died after a short time and left her with 2 small boys, SEABORN AND RICHARD (1827 AND 1826).......". Question - What happened to Amanda REYNOLDS? Your query lists the parents of Amanda REYNOLDS as Thomas REYNOLDS & Mary MEREDITH. Thomas as Mary REYNOLDS also had a daughter, Margaret REYNOLDS (25 Oct 1816 - Nov 1899), who married Sutton King SCOTT, 25 Sep 1835, in Amite Co., MS. Sutton & Margaret SCOTT moved to Franklin County where Sutton purchased the following: 27 Jan 1836 SW1/4SW1/4 S9 T6 R4E (39 Acres) in FCM. The 1840 FCM Census lists the family of Sutton SCOTT with a female child less than 5 years of age. Documentation in FCM shows the appointment of Margaret SCOTT as administrator of the estate of Sutton K. SCOTT -Signed the 22nd day of February AD 1844. On 14 Apr 1846, Margaret Reynolds SCOTT m. Charles B. FAIRMAN. The 1850 FCM Census lists the household of Charles & Margaret FAIRMAN with a female, Thedius REYNOLDS, age 11. This would appear to be the female child listed in the 1840 FCM Census in the household of Sutton SCOTT. Based on the age of Thedius REYNOLDS, it would appear that she is the d/o Sutton King SCOTT and Margaret REYNOLDS; however, she goes by the REYNOLDS name. Why? On page 69 of "History of Franklin County to 1865" by William Hadshey the following statement is made: "... the free people of color in the county seemed to be fairly prosperous. Sutton K. SCOTT owned fifty acres of land on the Homechitto and two slaves by 1840 ...." I don't know the connection between Sutton King SCOTT, 1st husband of Margaret REYNOLDS, and the children of Amanda REYNOLDS, Seaborn & Richard REYNOLDS. However, I find it interesting that each appear to be children of a SCOTT, while using the REMOLDS name. Could the above comment regarding Sutton K. SCOTT be true? I understand that a grant had been made to research the supporting papers of Mr. Hadshey, in his preparation of his book on Franklin County. Maybe some clarification is forth coming? I don't know the parents of or birth information for Sutton King SCOTT or if there is a connection to you situation.

Les, John William "Bill" Hadskey (20 Jun 1925-31 Mar 1999) wrote "A History of Franklin County, Mississippi to 1861" as his thesis for a Masters Degree in History at MS State College in 1954. Whether or not his comment concerning Sutton K. Scott is correct will probably never be known. However, it would appear doubtful since his widow, Margaret Reynolds, had two subsequent marriages in Franklin County, i.e., to Charles B. Fairman on 14 Apr 1846; and to Stephen Nicholas Middleton on 26 Nov 1862. Tony Miller
