I saw this site on another list. Great basic information on Mississippi counties. It can maybe help some people new to genealogy. www.segenealogy.com/mississippi Brian

Hello, I'm new to the list and would appreciate help on my Warren ancestors from Mississippi. Florence Catherine WARREN was born in Mississippi on April 16, 1863. Her death certificate lists C.C. WARREN and Ann SMITH as her parents, both of whom were born in Mississippi. The 1850 US Census for Jefferson Cty, MS, lists C.C.'s age as 31 with a Mary, age 70, in the household. Does anyone have any idea who C.C.'s parents were? Was Mary his mother? Possibly Ann SMITH was C.C.'s second wife? Any help on this family will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ann

Ann, Charles C. Warren was b. 7 Feb 1820 in Union Church,Jefferson,MS and I think he died in Texas. He m/1 Lenora Scott on 13 Jan 1842 in Franklin Co., MS. She was b. 7 Jan 1825 in Franklin Co., and d. 5 July 1849 at Union Church,MS. Her parents were Nehemiah Scott and Margaret Lee. They had two boys, Nehemiah B. Warren, b. 1843; and John Winfield Warren, b. 1846. At the time of the 1850 census C.C. Warren did not have a wife. Mary Warren shown in the Census is probably his mother. Charles Warren m/2 Ann Smith in Jefferson County on 17 Sep 1850. An infant daughter of C.C. and Ann Warren was born and died on 21 Nov 1854 and is buried in the Union Church Cemetery. Also, they had a son, Archibald C. Warren, b. 4 Apr 1853 and d. 27 Jul 1854 who is buried there. This is all I have. I know about the other Warren family who was in Union Church that was from Vermont, but they are not related. Tony Miller in Calabasas, CA

I am sorry. I don't recognize any of these names as being a part of my line. Sue

George, Thank you ever so much for this information on the Slaters. You have filled in some gaps for me. I did not ever guess the family moved to Pointe Coupe, LA as early as 1773. Evidently some of their children returned to MS after becoming adults leading me to believe the elder Slaters were still there.

Her name was Annie Macie Jones Curbin, my mother in law was Lula Mae,born in 1919 there was a second daughter born in 1920, these two girls, were given away by there father George Curbin, because Macie was ill, when she learned about this she left the hospital where she was looking for them and was found dead it the street, either in Fayette or Natchez, Fayette didnt have a hospital that early, but she is burried in the C emetery in Fayette.

Sally (Sarah) Jones married John W. Slater on April 7, 1817 in Jefferson Co. She was the daughter of my ancestor, George Jones, who died in Claiborne Co. in the 1830's. In George's will, he names John as one of his heirs. The Jones property adjoined the property of Hugh Slater. They lived in the three-corner area of Claiborne, Jefferson, and Copiah, so records may be in any of those counties, and Adams, too. Sue

Does anyone have ANY information on James Blair who was in Jefferson County from around 1875-1900. One of his children married a Kelley, I think. Also one was named Henry Blair, who married an Oliver. Any information would be appreciated. Mattie
