I am sending this to several list, so if you get duplicates, please forgive me. Samuel H. GRADY, b. 1843 in probably Chambers Co., AL. married Tecusah/Tecusia C. SMITH in 1893.

Itawamba Co. is right on the MS/AL line. Does anyone know anything more on my SMITH? This is all that I know. Thanks for any replies. Kay in FL.

I am looking for any mention of a Gober family that passed thru Itawamba Co in 1888. They were in Prentiss Co in 1880. Madison Pitts Gober was married to a Harriett Garner there in 1874. I found him and his brother W.S. Gober on the tax list for Itawamba Co in 1888. The next mention I found is 1900 in Jefferson Co. where "Pitts" is married to Martha Jane Taylor. I need to find when and where Harriet died (if she died) and when and where Pitts married Martha. Any help would be a God-send. Thanks Frances

My gg-grandmother Nancy Weir/Wier married Henry Brown Pate on October 29, 1846 in Itawamba County. I have no information about her parents or siblings. Any information would be appreciated. Barbara

Is anyone working on the Waldrip family? More particularly, I'm trying to find out something about the parents of Sarah (Sallie) Waldrip b. 7 Aug 1861 in AL, d. 18 May 1936 in Itawamba County, m. Charles E. Chamblee. Both are buried in Providence Cemetery. According to Itawamba: A History, Sarah's parents were Nelson Waldrip and Matilda Chamblee. Thanks Bobbe

Bobbe, Desdamona Weaver, daughter of Thomas Paton Weaver, married William Jasper Waldrep Nov. 2, 1872. He died June 1917. Could there be a connection? Martha "Bobbe J.

While we're on the subject of old cemeteries, does anyone know how I can find out who owns the farm where my g.g.grandfather is supposedly buried. Somewhere in all of my notes I have information that says he is buried in an unmarked grave on someone's farm near Mud Creek. Elijah Swindle was killed in 1897 in Itawamba Co. The last information I have is that in the 1890 Tax List, he was shown on p.13, and shows to be living in the town of Pleasanton. I don't know what happened to his widow, Irene Swindle (maiden name Davidson, sister of Benjamin H. Davidson who was in Prentiss Co. in 1910). The last time I found her was during the 1897 trial of the Steele brothers - who were accused of killing Elijah. I could not locate her in the 1900 Itaw. Co. census. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Billie

Ann: I have quite a bit of Shelley/Shelly information. My branch was from KY, Hardeman Co., TN, and then Tippah Co., MS. I'll gladly pass it on it you if you think it will be of any use. Billie
