I noted there was a ROYAL N. CLAY listed among the members. I am not sure which ROYAL CLAY he is. In the 1850 Itawamba census, there is a ROYAL listed as head of household, born abt. 1806. He is my 3rd great grandfather. He had a son, ROYAL, born abt. 1838. Three other sons are listed as members of the James Creek Volunteers, 1st Miss. Now, the problem, there is also a cousin ROYAL G. CLAY, born abt. 1812, living in Monroe County in 1850. I don't know if he had any children by the name of ROYAL. Royal Jr. of Itawamba married a McNeece. I noticed there was a McNeece listed as a member of the unit. Hopefully, with this new info, I can find out which ROYAL had an N. for a middle initial. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any biographical info, please let me know. Again, many thanks for your 15 years research and also to Don for all his help.
