I am compiling research here in TN on Tennesseans who migrated into Southwest Mississippi Territory, i.e., Natchez District before 1820. I have developed a partial list of those folks who record a birth in TN on the 1850 census of Amite, Franklin and Pike. I am currently compiling a list for Adams, Wilkinson, and Jefferson cos. . I would love to hear from all who have ancestors from TN, or who migrated thru TN eventually arriving in MS. Thanks in advance for contributors.

Don, Are you just collecting a list of names and their dates of birth and death or are you looking for more complete information including parents and wife or wives. I have a numer of Guices and Corbans born in TN who moved to and resided in Franklin County, MS and I have Shaws who were born in TN who settled in Jefferson County, MS. How much detail are you after? I have a feeling that there are a lot of people listed in "Tennessee before 1800," by Marjorie Hood Fischer, Frontier Press, Galveston, 1997, who moved on to Southwest Mississippi.

I'm not sure exactly what you need or if I can even provide enough for you, as I only have family tradition, nothing concrete. My gg grandfather, Israel Franklin Chambers was born 1820-1825 in MS, but exactly where I don't know. On the 1810 Jefferson County census, an Israel Chambers is listed and he is in Wilkinson County in 1820. Through other sources I am pretty sure he is connected to my Israel, but I'm not sure how. Family tradition says that the Chambers family came from Kershaw County, SC to MS through TN. In looking at later MS census records, such as 1850, where birth places are listed, there are a couple of MS Chambers families with TN connections, which seems to bear out the story that they came through TN. I would like to see the results of your research when complete to see if any other Chambers information is listed. I will also be glad to help in any way that I can on my family.

Don, According to census records in Jefferson Co., MS my ggg-grandfather, Thomas Lee migrated to MS from KY. It is my assumption that he came through TN and possibly married there, for I cannot find a marriage record either in MS or KY for him and wife, Milly Gennette Barefoot. He and Milly first appear in Jefferson Co, MS in the census of 1810. Her place of birth is reported at MS, but all efforts to further identify them have failed. Thanks.
