I was wondering if there are any newspapers with obituaries for the years of 1884-1900? If so, where are they? Are they indexed? Can I get them through inter-library loan? Thanks for your help, Denise Price, Utah

Karen: Sorry, I don't have that information on Bertie Files handy. I may have it in my notes somewhere, but offhand, I don't know who she married. Billie

I descend from the Manley Files that d: 1840. He's the one that's giving me fits. I am having an awful time proving that he is the son of Manley Files, Sr. Billie

Karen: Here's what I have: Willie Florence Files, dau. of William Manley Files, m: Gean Moore. Their children were: Bertie D. Moore, Luta Y. Moore, Boyd Moore, Cordie Moore, Condie Moore, Cummings Moore, and Arthur Moore. Minnie Files, also a dau. of William Manley Files, m: J. Less Moore. Their children were: Ruia Moore, Roy Moore, Raymond Moore, Dallas Moore, Odessa Moore, and Loualle Moore (m: Leroy Sheffield). Those are my Files connections. Billie

The FILES, MOORE and STEPHENS families were close to each other in Itawamba County. All three families have members buried in the STEPHENS Cemetery.

I can't find a registry on the two cemetaries.Last I talk with cousin Tony, Beulah son she was still alive and live in Dorsey, he lives just out of Tupelo.

This is not a direct line for me, so I haven't spent a great deal of time on John. I thought he died in 1922 in Montgomery, AL. I guess I just assumed he was buried in Montgomery or in Clarke County somewhere. Do you show he died in Montgomery? Karen

Karen, Do you know where this John Sheffield that was married to Netty Pritchett is buried? Thanks, Anna Prestage

I am interested in any Files that married into Campbell/Lindsey/Stephens/Montgomery/ families of Itawamba County and or Tishomingo County. Karen

I can't find William Roger Sheffield in my files. I have several William without middle names. Do you have William Roger's parents' names? I how one Beulah Moore, but I do not know to whom she married. I do not have a middle name for her. Her parents were Ben W. Moore and Martha (Della) Sheffield. Could this be the Beulah Francis you are looking for? Della Sheffield was the daughter of William "Bill" Sheffield and Charity Truett Brown Sheffield. Karen

Could you send me what you have on your line My e-mail is WLPSnugs@aol.com Wanda

Wanda: I am related to the FILES family - they married into the MOORE family. Billie

Hello, Please, if anyone on the list has the Itawamba County, MS Cemetery records, I would appreciate a look-up for John Henry Ford and his wife Martha C. Streetman. I would like to contact anyone researching these people. I believe John was my g'grandmother Winnie Ford Nichols' brother. They were the children of Elijah Walker Ford of Marion County, AL. Any help appreciated and I will share. Jimmie

I am looking for information on John Sheffield m Netty Pritchett. William Roger Sheffield m. Beluah Francis Moore. Netty was my gr gr grandmother and Beluah is my mothers cousin. anything you have and are willing to share would be appreciated Wanda
