Tonya, I was lucky enough in 1944 to marry a beautiful Oxford girl. She was the daughter of Charles R. Nelson, who was Principal of UHS, and I lived in Oxford for 15 yrs. The Civil War still has a lot of mysteries. Chimborazo Hospital was located on Chimborazo Hill, which is part of Church Hill in Richmond, VA, and it started operating in 1861. The doctors and the women of Richmond worked around the clock in an effort to meet the overwhelming needs of the wounded Confederate Soldiers. During the War, Chimborazo passed 76,000 patients. The mortality rate, despite the difficulties, was slightly over 9 percent, a figure not equal in military hospitals until WW II. It was oftenly 150 well-ventilated single story buildings, each about 100 by 30 ft. There were also 100 "sibley tents" in which 8-10 convalescents could be cared for. Most of the dead was buried in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, and, of course, there are no marked or engraved tombstones. Thousands of Confederate dead were buried free. Later in the war, the dead were buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Richmond. My source of information is taken from a book written Virginius Dabney titled THE STORY OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND. If you know the company and regiment and the State, the National Archives in Washington, DC may have the information you want. The Mississippi State Library, Jackson, MS, should also have information on each of the Confederate Units from Mississippi. There are many sites on the internet that you can go into. Just enter CIVIL WAR, or you can test other entries. If you have never been to Richmond, it would be a wonderful trip, and if you are interested in the Civil War, you could spend a week doing the battlefields and the White House of the Confederaby, and, of course, there is Monument Avenue where there are many monuments of the Civil War heroes. If you come this far, you need to visit Williamsburg. There is a lot of history in Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown, as well as our famous Busch Gardens. I hope this information can be of value to you.

These web sites might help you locate the information you are looking for. Good luck. http://www.misscivilwar.org/ http://www.misscivilwar.org/resources/bib-comp.html The following web site is maintained by the National Park Service and has a lot of interesting information on civil war soldiers/sailors, cemeteries, etc. Note, however, that this is still a work in progress, so not all states are listed yet. They do have the MS records though. http://216.88.32.142/cwss/soldiers.htm Harriet

I am looking for a marriage bond which should be listed in the MARRIAGE BONDS OF LAFAYETTE COUNTY, MS, VOL. II, 1882-1900 book. If anyone has a copy of it and can do a lookup for me for the year 1883, I would greatly appreciate it! The marriage (in case anyone else is following it and would like to exchange information) is: Thomas Lewis Hill Hart to Emma Jane Brown, 15 Jan 1883, in Lafayette, MS. I am compiling records for admission into the DAR, so I need a copy of the page in the book, as well as a copy of the cover page of the text. THANKS SO MUCH for any help you can offer!! Sincerely, Stacey Cox St. Louis, MO _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Roger Was there a specific cemetery that the hospital used in that area. I'm curious as to what all the company that he was in did. Do you know how to go about finding that. This is what I know on him. Also do you know where to get any information on the hospital. "Pvt. Thomas W. Nunn, Company E, 19th Mississippi Regiment, McClung Rifles, Lafayette County Enlisted by Capt. Vaughn on Feb. 25, 1861 at Oxford. Age: 17 yrs. Admitted to Chimborazo Hospital No. 5, on May 12, 1862 with "cont. fever". Died there on June 4th, 1862. No further information. (The Source is " Confederate Soldiers of Lafayette County" by Walter Coffey.)" Thanks Tonya

Robbie As far as I know they never divorced. She had children up until 1867 and he died in 1868. They had 10 children. I haven't found where she is buried or even William for that matter. Tonya

Thanks Don't think that's the same one, but possibly a sister to Hiram Ray, that was father of my Nancy Ray. I believe Hiram had the following brothers and sister: Robert Ray, James Ray, and Mary Ray Cook Lakey. They were all born in North Carolina or South Carolina. The family seems to hvae traveled from N. C. to S. C. then to Georgia, into Alabama and then to Mississippi. There is another Nancy Ray listed on the 1850 census with the above mentioned Robert Ray (25 born S. C.). She is listed as 59 and born in N. C. This is possibly the mother of Hiram, Robert, and James, but I don't have proof or anything... Could the older Nancy Ray listed have been the one to marry the William Nunn and he have died and she taken back her other name, or could they have divorced?

My uncle married a Tiny Ray from Marshall county try it ,they might have come there peggy billings

Robby, I have a Nancy Ray. But this Nancy Ray married William A Nunn in Lafayette Co in 1843. Tonya

Does anyone have any information on the Hiram Ray and Margret that are listed in the 1850 Lafayette County Census. Margret is listed as head of household in 1860. I am from the daughter named Nancy Ray. Nancy had a child with a man named Gus Carroll. The child's name was Ross Carroll. He was born in 1882 in Panola County, MS. Nancy later married a J. R. Wakefield in the latter 1880s in Lafayette County, then they moved to Texas. I can't find Margret or Nancy in any census I've checked. I have no idea who Gus Carroll is, but I have wondered if it could have been a Giles Carroll from Yalobusha County. Does anyone have connections to these Rays or Carrolls?

Can anyone tell me where Chimborazo Hospital No. 5 was. This was a hospital during the Civil War. Tonya

(I sent this Monday evening ... and never saw it posted. Not sure why it didn't make it the first time.) The Thaxton Cemetery is in Thaxton, MS. I've been there and photographed stones there. Take st. rd. 6 east out of Oxford. About half way to Pontotoc you'll find st. rd. 336 & take it north to the very small town of Thaxton. Ask someone in town where the cemetery is. Easy to find. Big sign at the entrance. Nice cemetery. By the way: Thaxton is in Pontotoc County.
