Hi List, Several years ago I attended a high school reunion of Central High School, which used to be 4 miles west of Hamburg on the road to Meadville. The school no longer exists. (There will be another such reunion at the Hamburg Baptist Church, Saturday June 29 from 9am till.... Bring covered dish) Someone at the reunion had copies of lists from the office of the Superintendent of Education. These were lists of "Educable Children of Franklin County". The lists I saw were from the early 1930's. I suspect that was a State requirement and that such lists were made for counties other than Franklin. The children were listed with birth dates, names of parents etc. My inquiry is whether anyone has taken the time to put this valuable data in a form that can be shared on the net. If not, maybe someone the area of Meadville, Natchez, or Fayette could take it on as a project. I would tackle the job, but I am located in Seattle. Fulton Harrigill [email protected]

Hazel, Greetings from Seattle. I have some information on the Doves and could point to others who have more than do I. What are your interests?

James, Thanks for responding. According to my data, Mary Magdaline Emfinger b. March 23, 1910, d. April 3, 1962 m. in Franklin Co., MS on April 4, 1929 John R. Kiggins. Both died in CA but are buried in Vivian, LA. John was a streetcar conductor in New Orleans, LA until the family moved to CA where he worked as a furniture maker. This data came from a niece of Mary. My data on Clarence is somewhat limited, but I believe he is the same as your Clarence. His marriage to my great aunt, Clara Ionie "On" Lee was brief. She was married twice and had one child by each marriage. After her divorce from Clarence, she never remarried.

Ed, Here goes!! Albert H. Ballance LA Cavalry (I found his online record). I would like to know if your CD gives more information. The rest I will just have to give you the names I have associated with my specific family - don't know if they were servicemen or not. David - LA Girard - LA Hanan - LA James R. - LA John B. - LA John H. (prob. Hanan) - LA Rayford Crawford (R.C.) - TX Benjamin Franklin (Frank) - MS James Robert - MS Sorry I don't know more middle names. I am only interested in Balance/Ballance Confederate soldiers in the states of MS, LA and TX. Thanks for your help. Suzanne

Hi everyone, I just found a great book, "Written in the Bricks." It's a pictorial and historical tour of 15 MS hometowns: Natchez Yazoo City Brookhaven Vicksburg Hattiesburg Columbus Meridian Jackson Greenwood Carrollton Oxford Tupelo Pass Christian Ocean Springs Holly Springs Pictures are beautiful and town histories are well written and interesting. The chapters on Brookhaven and Natchez brought back some nice childhood memories for me. It's published by Quail Ridge Press, Brandon, MS, 1999.

Sorry ED, I'm not your Aunt Marie writing under a pseudonym. LOL. I would appreciate any help on Mary Margaret "Mattie" Smith. My King is David King who came to Franklin County, MS. in 1808. So far, we have not been able to connect him with any of the other Kings around. He only had one son, also known as David King. Although I'm not your aunt, I still appreciate your work and any help you can offer. Marie Bailey [email protected] P.S. Do you have any Smith information on the Vines Smith family who were from Alabama? Their daughter, Sarah, married Thaddeous C. Ferrell about 1851. To my knowledge, this is a different line of Smiths from Mattie Smith of my earlier note. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward J.

Sorry Tom, all I know about Elizabeth Montgomery is what I posted in my previous message. If I should find anything I will let you know. Hazel The roots of our family tree were planted deep in American soil. The trunk of the tree grew strong and it has many, many branches. Some branches are still bare and need your information.

Does anyone have a Elizabeth KING married to a Benjamin HADLEY? They had Joshua, and Mary both born in 1790's North Carolina. No idea Elizabeth's KING's parents, or any other information. Family lore says, "her mother was one of signers at the "Resolutions of the Edenton Tea Party", Chowan County, NC 1774. Thank you very much, Vickye White Rt. 1 Box 96 3477 N. FM 1212 Stanton, TX 79782 Please visit my website: http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Park/2777/footstepsbackintime.html

There are two(at least) Clarence Emfingers in the information I have received on the Emfingers in Meadville. There is Clarence E. Emfinger and Clarence L. Emfinger. Clarence E. is the son of Henry G. Emfinger and Catherine Foy. He married Lula Foy on Sept. 8, 1906 and I don't see any children from this marriage. Clarence E. then married Lonie Foy on July 23, 1909 in Franklin County. Two children are listed from this marriage, Zelma and Roy. I said all of this only to say, that's not my grandfather. Clarence Levi Emfinger, son of William M. and Julia Ann Weatherly, was my grandfather. I do not have a date that he married my grandmother. My father, was their second child, born May 27, 1919. Grandmother was Lula Arnold(birth name Lou Lea Arnold, which she hated and never used as an adult). My mother does remember(I just talked to her in the middle of this message) that Clarence L. and the first wife divorced, and the daughter stayed with the mother. The daughter's name was Mary, and the dates are about right, but she died in Vivian, Louisiana. We are sure of this because Mother attended the funeral. So, I'm still looking, but I don't think the reference to Mary Magdaline is her.
