I must agree with Ann. Eddie Mikell does nice work, and it is sometimes very interesting, but it seems to confuse Jeff Davis County and Lawrence County with Jefferson County, so it really is "off topic". I still keep my subscription to the list because of posts from my friends like Ann Geoghegan, Nancy Brister, Sue Moore, Ann Brown, Joyce Shannon Bridges, Ona Patrick, and many others, but I sometimes wonder if Eddie's posts are appropriate. At the same time, I remember the civility and friendliness I found in Port Gibson on my visit in March, something quite refreshing, and hope we all can remember to be polite. I'm also excited Ann got the Warren County rootsweb site. Geography is everything. My great grandfather's brother Thomas Kimsey Daniel moved from Tennessee in 1844 and married Joliann Boren in Claiborne County, and by 1850 was working as an overseer in Warren County. Thomas K. Daniel died 3 Jan 1851, and it seems my great grandfather H.P.K. Daniel came down from Tennessee to settle his brother's affairs, and ended up marrying into the Boren family too. So I have deep roots in this part of Mississippi, where my grandfather and father were born. All near the "Trace" and Port Gibson, in the Brandywine District [5] of Claiborne County, not far from Jefferson County. Some of the Borens are buried at Union Church. But none of my ancestors are from Jeff Davis or Lawrence counties. If I wanted information on these counties, I would have joined the lists for Jeff Davis or Lawrence County. So while I wish Eddie Mikell the best, I don't find his posts to be pertinent. Respectfully, Clay Daniels
