Surely, it is not the one I have in my files--Richard Leake Gillentine? He was born in 1806! Can someone tell me if this Richard L. Gillentine is one in the same or is this a son, or a nephew. I am not showing another Richard L. Gillentine other than the one born in 1806 who marries Sidney Leona Stovall. Thank you, Karen

Thanks.

Mary: If by 2nd MS Cavalry, you mean the 2nd MS Cavalry in the Civil War (not the Mexican War), then, yes, I do. Go to www.mississippiscv.org and click on "Mississippi History." Look for the tab for "2nd MS Cavalry." I put these capsule histories up in conjunction with fabled webmaster Henry Irving. If you like the site, please shoot Henry a "thank-you!". If you have photos of any MS Confederates in uniform, please contact H. Grady Howell, 103 Trace Harbor Road, Madison, MS 39110, so that Grady can include those photos in his next volume of MS Confederate portraits! Thanks! -- Jim H.

Cliff: See H. Grady Howell's Mexican War research ad at www.mississippiscv.org (click on the "Links" tab and look for Grady Howell). Grady is the state's leading expert on the Mexican War. -- Jim H.

Sorry about the 2nd MS Infantry mistake. Went back over my paper work on James A. McCarty and he was first in Capt. W.C. Bromley's Company, 2 Reg't Mississippi Volunteers and this was changed to Company C, 2nd Regiment Mississippi Infantry. It appears he was with this outfit until sometime after Jun 1865. Now all I have to do is find out more on the Second MS Infantry during the Mexican War in 1842-1844.

There is no direct relationship between the 2nd MS Infantry (Mexican War) and the 2nd MS Infantry (Civil War). The designation "2nd MS Infantry" was not reserved for troops from Itawamba. -- Jim H.

About 2 weeks ago this book was mentioned on our Itawamba net and I would like to say more about it. During 1905 and 1906 Col. W.L. Clayton wrote articles in the Tupelo Journal newspaper about life in Itawamba County during the 1840's, 50's and 60's. In these articles he tells about old timers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, ministers, merchants, and others who lived in Itawamba County when he did. The title of these articles was Pen Pictures of the Olden Time. Later after he discontinued writing the articles he would occasionally write an article when a friend died or when something important happened in the county. I have copies of articles from 1905-1908. Not only will you get vivid pictures of life in the county, but you will see the influence of Latin, Greek, and French that they learned in school and the type of literature that was read and the type of writing that was done back then. It is really fantastic to read these articles, especially if you are interested in the whole county, and not just your line. I came upon these articles in the manuscript section at the MS Archives during the late 1980's. Later I purchased the 2 rolls of microfilm of the Tupelo Journal and transcribed most of them and a lot of them have been printed in the Itawamba Settler quarterly. Later I learned that a book had been printed on the articles. As the author of the book states she has purposely edited the articles.. If you are interested in reading these articles there are several things you can do. One is to get the Tupelo Journal film by interlibrary loan from your local library. Another way is to purchase back issues of the Itawamba Settler. I purchased the book in March of 1992 from the Cottage Bookshop, 214 N. Madison, Tupelo, MS 38801, 662-844-1553. The book was printed in 1982. Keep in mind that the book doesn't contain complete articles. Also the microfilm that I purchased was donated to the Itawamba Historical Society. I remember the excitement I felt when I found these articles. If you are only interested in your family then this is probably not for you. But if you enjoy reading about the whole county then you will really enjoy these articles. It is my hope that with all of us working together we can find more writings, diaries, letters etc. on Itawamba County. We are so fortunate not to be researching a burnt county and that there is a lot of info. out there on the county if we can just find it. Thanks Martha Bone

I am looking for information about the family of Jesse L Williams and Mary Jane Johnson born 1840 daughter of Richard and Nancy Jane Johnson who were in Itawamba Co. 1850 and 1860 and Lee Co. 1870 and 1880

I am not sure if this has been discussed on this list before or not, but I am going to see if others have heard similar family stories. In my McKay or Oswalt families that lived in Itawamba Co. there are family stories that we are related to Jesse and Frank James. I didn't know that until I found some old photos of some James people in some of my grandma's old photos that have been hid in her old trunk for many years. Two of them are identified as Jesse and Frank James, on back of the photos, but are too young to be THE Jesse and Frank James. A McKay cousin told me that she had heard family stories that we were related to THEJames gang. The ones in the photo are too young to be the notorious one. Any James Family researchers out there that can shed some light on these family stories. Thanks, Nancy Bible nbible@datasync.com

Memorial at the old Payne Family Cemetery in Mooreville, Lee County, MS will be held Sunday, September 10th. If you are related, Please come! contact me at slknight@prodigy.net for more information. Sandra

this is a site of the cousins of these families. www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/1422 Wanda Yielding Polston
