I have updated my Franks Family of Caney Fork web site. I also discovered a problem .... the data base was too large and all of it was not visible. That has now been corrected and all of the names are now visible. http://members.tripod.com/~dickdfox/index-caneyfork.html Dick D. Fox http://members.tripod.com/~dickdfox/index-dickdfox.html

Do you have any information on a Laverne Conwill who married Guy West? Guy was a Baptist Minister. His parents were George Thomas West and Zora Digby. They may not be related to your Conwills. -----Original Message----- From: DPate80296@aol.com <DPate80296@aol.com> To: MSITAWAM-L@rootsweb.com <MSITAWAM-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, June 23, 2001 9:35 PM Subject: Re: [MSITAWAM-L] 1880 Itawamba Census images online >In a message dated 6/23/01 3:33:14 PM Pacific Daylight Time, cridge@ncia.net >writes: > > >> Sarah Elizabeth Parker, their daughter, later married Isaac Brinkley >> Conwill, my great grandfather. >> >> Any matches? >> > >Descendants of Sarah Elizabeth Parker > > 1 Sarah Elizabeth Parker b: March 12, 1851 in Itawamba Co., MS >d: April 24, 1950 in Itawamba Co., MS Burial: Providence Cem., Itawamba >Co., MS >.. +Issac Brinkley Conwill b: May 20, 1845 in Franklin Co., AL m: >November 13, 1867 in Itawamba Co., MS d: May 28, 1912 in Itawamba Co., MS >Burial: Providence Cem., Itawamba Co., MS Father: George Washington King >Conwill Mother: Elizabeth Prestridge > > >Marriage Index: AR, MS, MO, TX, 1766-1981 > >Itawamba County, Mississippi > >P626 s: PARKER, S E CONWELL, J B 1867-Nov-13 >

You might try the Itawamba forum, it has some Wiygul cemetery information. And I think the Old Spinghill Cemetery is near Saltillo in Lee County, don't think its online?

Callie, Your are welcome, but I am also a little people!! I'm a new member of the IHS and I'm just trying to share what is going on with us, with everyone that is on the internet. I'll send you some cemetery tips privately. Wayne

Wayne: Thank You for keeping me updated on the meetings. I appreciate all the hard work you and your colleague's do for us little people. If it wasn't for the Historical Society there in Itawamba County I would have never been able to get all the infro I have on my ancestors. I visited Tupelo and Fulton last winter and enjoyed meeting some of the members and got to attend one of your meetings. I enjoyed it so much that I became a member myself (long distance member that is). On the topic of Cemetery Experiences by Mary Wages could you send me the tips she had on "Ways to Clean Headstones". I notice when I visit different cemeteries there are headstones that are not readable.

Does Mississippi have its vital records online from the word go til present like Texas does? Ann

John, I guess I missed your first post but saw it when Jenny posted her reply! I looked at my marriage's on CD and only saw one John D.Spradling (in any spelling) in Itawamba County and he married Sarah L. Gossett on 4 Feb. 1873. (but these CD's are not complete most times!)
