Ann Brown - (1850 Census info supplied by Tony Miller.) Dwelling #333, Jimerson Liddell and family. #334, Thompson B. Shaw and family, Richmond Hill Plantation. (Tony's ancestor.) #335, J. R. Comfort single, overseer, age 25 born KY. Does this mean they were adjacent neighbors, or did the census taker zigzag back and forth? My patchy records don't show a name for the Liddell place. Personally, if I owned 750 acres (1 square mile = 640 acres) I'd sure give it a name. "Bruce's Kingdom." Grin. Jimerson Liddell was born in NYC 1800, lived in Plattsburgh NY and Pittsburgh PA before moving to Jefferson Co. MS about 1828. Nothing in his history suggests any connection with Indigo, a dye-plant grown in coastal SC and GA. Until long-staple cotton arrived about 1810-1820, indigo, tobacco, rice and hemp were the top exports from the South, and Natchez District was tobacco country. "Those are my theories. If you don't like them, I have others." (Apologies to Groucho Marx.) Bruce D. Liddell, BDLiddell@yahoo.com --- Anebec@aol.com wrote: > Now I am curious about Jimmerson Lidell.
