Descendants of James Riley Hood 1 James Riley Hood b: 1835 in Alabama d: Bef. 1870 . +Minerva A Bowen b: 1839 in North Carolina m: November 19, 1857 in Itawamba Co., MS d: 1861 in Itawamba Co., MS Father: William Bowen, Sr. Mother: Rebecca ??? .......... 2 William W Hood b: 1859 in Itawamba Co., MS d: Unknown .......... 2 John Henry Hood b: May 01, 1861 in Itawamba Co., MS d: Unknown ............. +M E Reynolds b: Abt. 1862 m: September 22, 1881 in Itawamba Co., MS d: Unknown

He was the son of James Riley Hood and Minerva Bowen. Minerva died when Henry was born about 1861 and he was raised by her parents, William and Rebecca Bowen. I think that he married a Reynolds girl in 1881 in Itawamba. Thanks Marilyn

Sandy, Do you have a John Henry Hood in your line? Marilyn

I am also looking for STEPHENS, Caleb and Mary Stephens. Doris Mitchell mitchdor@aol.com

James, Oh, OK, thanks.... I was looking for Daniel, Sion, Elender, Warren Wesley(Jake), and Eliza Jane Mitchell. There was also a Mary Mitchell Stephens, who was married to Caleb Stephens. Eliza Jane married an ALLEN. Also, there was a William and Louisa Mitchell who I believe were related to this other Mitchell family. If you don't mind, are any of these people in the book? Thanks so much, $25.00 for the book, if it doesn't have my family would be such a waste. Thanks again. Doris Mitchell mitchdor@aol.com

Hi, you say you had Stephens in Itawamba county, I did also, Caleb and Mary Stephens and their sons. Any connection? Doris Mitchell mitchdor@aol.com

Doris, The only referencde I could find was Joseph B. West married Mary Stevens. James On Mon, 31 Jul 2000 MITCHDOR@aol.com wrote: > I am also looking for STEPHENS, Caleb and Mary Stephens. > > Doris Mitchell > mitchdor@aol.com > >
