You will have better luck with the 1880 or 1860 Census. The 1870 Census is almost illegible.

Is Springfield still around? I am looking for info on my mother-in-law. Her maiden name was Edith Dyess, b-14 Feb. 1913 in Springfield, Jefferson, MS to Richard Lineback Simmons, b-27 Sept. 1910, d- Jan. 1965 in Ann Arbor, MI. No date on when they were married.

CD-ROM 5 shows the marriage of David G. Bullen to Elzamira Torry on 14 Sept. 1853 in Jefferson Co., MS. A Joseph Bullen married (Mrs) Mary Damon in Jefferson Co., MS, on 16 Dec. 1821. I'm sending you a file (directly) on Bullen/Bullin marriages in MS plus the 1840 Census listing. George R. Lewis

Tammy, I have some Bullen information, but it seems to differ considerably from what you mentioned. I have David Gideon Bullen, b. 18 May 1825 Jefferson Co., MS; m. Elizabeth Ann Torrey on 14 Sep 1853 in Jefferson Co.,MS. David G. Bullen's parents were David Bullen, b. 12 Dec 1778 FL/d. 23 Mar 1864 Jefferson Co.,MS & Anna Maria Hackler, b. 22 Dec 1798 Jefferson Co.,MS/d. 19 Oct 1889 Jefferson Co.,MS. I have more information which includes a Joseph Bullen, but I am unable to connect David Gideon Bullen to Joseph Bullen. One batch of Bullens was from originally from MA and the other bunch seems to have been from SC. I will be happy to exchange files with you as long as they are not going to be provided to others for commercial purposes. Tony Miller in Calabasas,CA

Looking for Bullens in Jefferson County. Particularly Joseph S. Bullen and David G. Bullen. Joseph was supposedly born in Fayette, date unknown (middle 1800's) David G. was his son. David was married to Lena Lenora Turrentine. David and Lena had a child Thomas David Bullen. All of the above information is unsubstantiated. It comes from family members who may not have all the facts correct, but it is a starting point. If anyone has information on this family, please contact me. Thank you, Tammy Bock [email protected]

Lindsey and they had 10 children, this was all in and around Crystal Springs,he owned and operated the J.B. Lindsey andSon Slaughter house on the old highway 51 between Hazlehust and Crystal Springs, it is now owned by Wilsons. we have the 1920 census from Fayette and found them, Annie Macy Curbin, here husband George Curbin, and one child Lula May Lula May is what became Nell Vaughn Lula May had a sister born in 1920 and in 1922 Annie Macy died at the age of 22, her girls, were given away by her husband George, she was ill, and in a hospital someplace, and left the hospital looking for her two girls, and was found dead in the streets of Fayette.
