List, this doesn't have much research value but I was curious if any of you knew anything on this person listed below.

I do have pictures of the graves, but not sure we have any information on who the parents of Benjamine, will ask one of my husbands sibblings, altho he is the oldest child of 10, he would be the most likely to remember.

Lynda I have a Benjamine Prentiss Vaughan in my database but no Benjamin Franklin. I just recently started my Vaughan research because my husband's great-grandfather was orphaned as a child and was raised by relatives and it has been extremely difficult. Do you have any dates for these people? Or parents of the Vaughans? I will be glad to keep an eye out for information.

Don't be surprised to find someone in Jackson, Mississippi or even New Orleans. A lot of time they had family in the big city. Diane Hall

this was a very poor poor family, and I dont think they were in Jackson or New Orleans, this mother Annie Macey Jones Curbin had two girls, which were given away, she was in the hospital when this happened, and she left looking for them, and was found dead, in Fayette in the winter, of 1922, now to find out where she had been prior to her death, is just one more thing we hope to learn, before her grandchidren all die with out knowing who she was, and where she came from, thanks At 11:24 PM 01/28/2001 EST, [email protected] wrote: >Don't be surprised to find someone in Jackson, Mississippi or even New >Orleans.

trying now to concentrate on when Annie Macie Jones Curtin died, and what hospital she was in before her two girls were given up or given away..one went to the Vaughn family who lived in Redlick, and the other went to a Horrace Spain, both girls are now dead, and we are trying to fine out about the grandmother Macie, she would have had 30 grandchildren At 05:00 PM 01/28/2001 EST, [email protected] wrote: >Linda >In 1922 the folks from the Fayette area probably went to either Natchez or >Vicksburg ...

Linda In 1922 the folks from the Fayette area probably went to either Natchez or Vicksburg ... Union Springs ... I think you probably mean Union Church, they would probably have gone to Brookhaven or McComb..... Church Hill area probably went to Natchez. Ann Brown

Not sure. But would guess it would be Natchez Charity Hospital in Natchez.

Would anyone know where the closest hospital would have been in 1922 in reference to the Fayette, Union Springs area God Bless Lynda

There was the Chamberlain Sanitarium in Natchez, between the Eola Hotel and Franklin Street, which was used by paying customers and the Natchez Charity Hospital next to the Natchez City Cemetery on Cemetery Road for those who could not afford to pay. Later, probably around 1929, the Natchez General Hospital was constructed. Lots of people in the Jefferson and Franklin County areas also used the hospital in Vicksburg by choice. Perhaps some also used the King's Daughters hospital in Brookhaven. Tony Miller
