I have a book, 'WE CHOOSE AMERICA', A GRADY Family History, by Jackson Lee GRADY. It does not have them in it. Kay

Hello Listers, Today I opened my e-mail to find some messages on this list which had subject lines regarding the "Famous" Itawamba County book -- but the messages appeared to be of a personal nature and did not reference the book. Please be sure to enter an appropriate subject line. Thank you. -- Diane Scannell Wichita, KS dscannell@kscable.com Rootsweb Sponsor and Proud Donor http://sikes-sykesfamilies.rootsweb.com http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~inthetrees/

No, but my mother does. I really need to talk to her sometime when I am in Fulton. Does she still live at home? Carol

I am looking for parents of Martha M. (Mattie) Robinson born about 1890 She married William Edward Johnson Do any of you Robinson researchers have her in you files?

Does anyone show a connection to: Hortense Grady (b: 1899) md. Elmer Hallmark Annie Lucille Grady (b: ?) md. Thomas Oscar Shook on 12/24/1912? Karen

Deborah Eaton: We may be in luck here. I do show a Robinson married to Ruby Nix, dau of William Luther Nix and Frances E. Horton Nix of Gordon Co. GA. Is this yours? If so, I can send you the info compiled by Wanda Gregory, the "Nix expert" who lives in TN. Nearly everything I know about the Nixes comes from Wanda. My Nix family was not in Itawamba Co., but some of them were as close as Monroe County, MS. My direct line goes like this: 1. Joseph Nix, b. 1730-40, lived in Union Co. SC. 2. John Nix m. Sarah ?, lived in Franklin Co GA in 1801. Moved to Monroe Co. MS in 1831 where John died leaving an estate. 3. Joseph b. 1782 4. John J. Nix b. 1809 SC m. Edith Adams 1839 in Habersham Co. GA. 5. Benjamin Franklin Nix b. Dec. 4, 1849, m. Mary Isabelle Wilson in Gordon Co. GA in 1872. They later moved to Cooke Co. TX and are buried in Marysville Cemetery. 6. Finis Boles Nix, b. 1887 TX 7.

Do you live in Itawamba County? My grandfather was Elzie Hankins and I spent time on his farm as I was growing up. I never lived there but have a lot of fond memories. I remember my greatgrandmother, Orpha Robinson Hankins, who died when I was about 5.

Fellow listers, The S-K Pub. Co. is putting census records on CD. I've signed up for the 1880 census for Itawamba County. As soon as 6 more people sign up, they will produce the CD. I think it's a neat idea, and the price is reasonable. Check it out at <http://www.skpub.com/genie/census/ms/itawamba.html>. Linda Wood Parrish Researching WOOD and THOMPSON 1840-1895
