Hi! I'm descended from Itawamba County WARDS. Stephen Ward and wife Elizabeth--Stephen born in SC about 1809 and Elizabeth (?) born in Alabama. I don't find your Jackson Davis Ward in my files--but then I don't have the siblings of Stephen (or his parents, either). Mike Cobb (MCBB1@aol.com) is a Ward descendant--he has a bunch in Alabama that we're inclined to think might be brothers to my Stephen. I haven't communicated with him for a while, but you might email him. Let me hear from you if you want more details on my Stephen. I have his children. Regards, Jean Moore Murphy Ardmore, OK Stephen Ward/Elizabether ? (SC, AL, MS) > Sarah F. "Sallie" Ward/Mark Cook (MS) > Ella Cook/Jefferson A. Patterson (MS) > Hattie Patterson/Leonard Moore (MS, TX, OK) > Dallas Moore/Lucille Reid Moore (OK) > Phyllis Jean Moore Janaskie Murphy (ME!)

Also check with them for Old pictures they may have.... You may also be interested in getting copies of Obits from the newspaper, see below: Subj: obit inquiry Date: 7/27/00 9:56:41 AM Pacific Daylight Time From: itimes1@yahoo.com (C Wolfe) To: DPate80296@aol.com Dear Mr. Pate, Thank you for your recent inquiry about old past copies of newspaper obits. I apologize for not responding sooner, but we've had Internet connection problems and just worked those out - I'm now responding to numerous e-mails that were holding. We do not have a database with obit information that is easily accessible to readers - we only have our old bound volumes of each week's newspaper. Most people just come to our office and look through those volumes and we make copies of obits that they want. The charge is simply for copies - 50c a sheet. Are you in the area where you could come by our office? If not, do you know specifically what dates you're looking for on these obits. We don't spend much time in researching, but if you knew specifics, we might be able to assist you and it would only be a small fee for doing that. If we can help, please feel free to contact me. My personal e-mail at The Times is itimes1@yahoo.com or you can use our regular paper e-mail which is itimes @intop.net. Sincerely, Charlotte A. Wolfe General Manager/Editor The Itawamba County Times

If you find where to order the book please let me know. Both sides of my family were from the Itawamba area. I live in Washington State, and it is difficult finding out a lot of information. I am looking for information on the Gillentines, Moore, Simmons, Morgan, Lawson and Yielding families. Thanks, Wanda

I also am interested in the book.. Linda

I would also be interested in the book. Doris Mitchell mitchdor@aol.com

Mr. Pate said there are a few softcover copies available of the book "Sesquicentennial Edition: Itawamba Co. Mississippi Families (1836-1986)". Can anyone tell me where to order a copy? I have sent out several e-mails asking about this and some people wrote back that they don't know about it, and others never answered my e-mail. Those of us living in other states have to really work to find out about our families in MS. Thanks, Deborah (Johnson) Maston Descendant of Stephen & Elizabeth Johnson of Itawamba Co. (area that became Lee Co.)

The sign pointing the way to Harden's Chapel Cemetery reads "Hardin's Chapel Cemetery". I realize the name is used interchangeably, but could't it say "Harden/Hardin's Chapel Cemetery"? Ann

Thank you for confirming my suspicions. Now to find a complete roster of members of that unit.

Is anyone looking for John and Elizabeth Flannigan Phillips family? John b. 1805 NC d. 1888 Itawamba county. Who were their parents? Their son, John W. Phillips, married Manerva Buchanan in Itawamba and John and Manerva's daughter, Martha Jane, married Thomas J. Franks. Sandra

Thanks to each of you who have sent sites on the Civil War Unit's. I really appreciate it.
