greg, what yanceys are you looking for???ruth

Jay, goodness, I have several files of Ham(b)let(t)s namely my Yalobusha Co MS Hambletts, the Lafayette Co MS Hambletts, one of the many TN Hamletts, some GA and NC Ham(blet(t)s etc.I have even looked at some of the FAR northern Ham(b)let(t)s. Looks like many maybe most or ALL of our Southern Hambletts do go back to VA roots, but I haven't seen the proof yet. And everything I have is available various RootsWeb sites. Email me at [email protected] and we can share information. Audrey

Are there any Yancy's in the picture? Thanks, Greg wallace

I have a copy of my mother's high school graduation class. She went to College Hill so she would be able to attend the University after H. S. graduation. On the back of the picture is a list of graduates apparently compiled in 1955 I don't know if the list would be too long to share here, but I would be happy to share the list and could e-mail a copy of the picture to anyone wanting it. She called the school the Lafayett County Agricultural High School and it was located at College Hill. There are 34 graduating students in the picture and it appears that there is at least a name and usually a little more information relating to each. My mother was Nola Denton.

I am researching the Rankin family that lived in Lafayette and Calhoun Counties. Theophilus Rankin lived in the Sarepta area at least from 1860-until his death in 1912. He buried in the Sarepta Cemetery. His children: Joseph Marcellos Rankin married the Emma Lewelling, daughter of Rev. G. W. Lewelling and Catherine Salmon, in December 1891. The 1900 Census lists them in Calhoun county and the 1910 census in Lafayette County. Mertillar "Myrtie" Rankin married fiirst a Mr. Porter then William Burris. The only census records that I have located thus far for this family is in Lafayette County. Theodocia Rankin married a Benjamin Ritchie. Theophilus had a brother, Benjamin Harrison Rankin that lived in Lafayette county from probably 1850 until 1878, when he moved to Texas. Another brother, Patton H. Rankin, lived in Lafayette County, near Oxford. His sons included Harrison Alvah Rankin and Walter Edward Rankin. I have only very basic information on these families such as DOB and DOD, place of burial. I am looking for any information to add details to these families. Also, I found in one of the cemetery record books, the name Marvin Alvah Rankin, it did not have a date of death. Does anyone know of this man? Is he still living? Any information is greatly appreciated.

I am looking for information on C.H. Wells who lived in Lafayett county Ms. in 1868 Thank you

Need information on family of Ida T. Irby who married Ernest Eugene Keene of TX and had my grandmother "Elaine" in Phoenix abt 1900.

Seeking information on lady who married E. E. Keene of TX named Ida T. Irby. Her husband was born in 1875. No idea when she was but came from MS. Help, please!!!

Did your Park people move to Comanche or Eastland County in Texs. James William Holleman married Martha Melinda McNeil in Lafayette Co, they later settled in De Leon, TX. One of the cousins from Mississippi was Dovey Park. Would like to make a connection,

Those children seem awfully young to be the offspring of Jonathan and Rosanna. Could they be grandchildren, or nieces and nephews, do you suppose? I have a Permilla (Penny) Dodd in my family tree who married a Knight closely associated with Hollowells in TN, I believe it was. Coincidence that the association seems to continue in MS?

Lafayette Co., MS census, family # 543 Jonathan Fuller 58 NC Rosanna Fuller 50 NC Virgil L. 10 TN Ferdinand S. 08 TN James T. 07 TN John R. 05 TN Marcela 04 MS I know there were other children of this family as another son mar. a daughter of John Hollowell and Jane Dodd. Donna Hollowell

I am related to Nancy Hamilton. She was daughter of Hance Hamilton. Do you have any information on Hance Hamilton and family? Would like to trade information.

Terry, thanks for the information. Yes I was wanting to know about this family. Hoping to find out parents of Mary Ellen McGonigill, my great grandmother. Her father may have been Squire McGonigill. Have you heard of him? This will help me. Amanda

I just started working on my Wilson line. My grandmother, Mary Ella Wilson, was born in Abbeville,MS in 1872. Her father was George Henry Wilson who might be the George H. Wilson in your line. The dates look okay. If you have any additional info, I will be off to a great start. Thanks!
