I'm glad you pointed this out to me because the way I initially read the census was that Thomas' last name was Lewis. Now I can see that it is indeed Cobb. Do you have any idea what happened to Thomas and wife Emma? I've looked everywhere for them on subsequent census' and can't find them. I sure would like to get my hands on Emma Cobb's death certificate to help prove my Dodson/Dotson connection. Thanks again!

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AKB.2ACI/1271.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Sue, I know Nancy has been searching a good while for the parents of her great grandmother, Sallie Ann Webb Crocker. Like you and she I believe she is related to Elizha and Silas Webb , since she was born in AL. I guess I will look in Pontotoc and Calhoun Counties for her Webbs, since she and GrandUncle James Alfred Crocker married in Lafayette County in 1875 (this is the correct year, I errorously stated 1878 in earlier post). She may have been living with relatives here in Lafayette County or her family could have lived in Pontotoc or Calhoun County and the Crocker men worked in both counties. I found where my Great Grandfather Miles Crocker was in Abbeville in 1877 buying a Shroud for a son. who I think was up there working and was killed. Oxford was closer to Paris, the home of Miles Crocker's family, to shop for a Shroud , why was he buying it in Abbeville. While doing other research Friday I discovered Abbeville was pretty rowdy in the 1870's. It had many saloons where men were often killed. Miles and Betty Crocker had a son Thomas Crocker who we thought died in S. C. before they came to MS in 1867 simply because he was not counted with the family in the 1870 census, but knowning many children were left off the census for some reason or another, I believe this son who he was buying the burial shroud for was Thomas bn in 1860. My point being that the men sometime met their spouses in their travels. But, what confuses me is this fact , they usually marry in the Bride's home or county. James Alfred Crocker's uncle and name sake, Alfred T. Bryant performed the cememony. He was a J. P. of Lafayette County at that time. Back to Elisha, Silas and Sallie Ann Webb all from AL., please, keep me informed and I shall do the same for you. Evelyn

I also found the 1880 census for Sallie Crocker. I can't make a connection to our line--Elisha. But, I also can't make a connection to Silas either. Barbara Pruitt in Tupelo, MS, is in the line of Silas. She provided me a copy of the family history and there is no daughter named Sallie. There were two other Webbs in Layfayette County as well--James Lewis Adrien Webb (Lafayette County History Book--page 600) and William Webb. William was there in 1850. Married Elizabeth; children John Davis, Wm. James, Susan, Thomas Wilson. This Thomas was killed at Battle of Jonesboro, GA and is buried in Atlanta. I don't know anything else about him. William Webb came from the line of well-known Webbs from NC. William married in Granville City, NC, moved to W. TN then to MS. His father was John Webb (married Amy Booker) and his grandfather was James Webb (married Mary Edmonson). I believe he's in the line of James Lewis Adrien Webb. Whether Elisha, Silas, James and/or William have any connection, I have not been able to determine. But, since Elisha and Silas come from AL to MS, I feel certain there is a connection between them. I have spent hours on this line without much success other than being able to find Elisha's history connection to the Webbs in AR (where I live). I just have not be able to find out the parents of Elisha. But I'll get trying. Any help would be appreciated. Sue

Nancy thinks SALLIE ANN WEBB CROCKER'S father was JOHN WEBB of the Potlocona WEBB CEMETERY WEBBS. He and his wife Sallie Brown Webb are buried in the PARIS MEMORIAL CEMETERY. I am doing the local research for Nancy here in Lafayette County. I found the WEBBS in the Skipwith His/Gen Society 1984 publication of Lafayette County History. I could not find a daughter named SALLIE ANN WEBB although TOM aka John Thomas Webb's wife was Sallie Brown Webb. She was younger than Nancy's Sallie Ann Webb Crocker also John Thomas aka Tom Webb was only a year or so older than Sallie Ann Webb Crocker. The 1880 US Federal Census MS Lafayette Co list Sallie Ann Webb Crocker as being borm in ALABAMA, so the older SILAS WEBB you mentioned in this post could very well be our SALLIE ANN WEBB CROCKER's father since he was found in ALABAMA. Did he bring his family to MS. since SALLIE ANN WEBB and JAMES ALFRED CROCKER married in LAFAYETTE County in 1878? We thought Sallie Ann Webb was from Lafayette Co, now, I think she may have been in the northern part of Calhoun County. Can you do to help us here. Yes, I agree with you that the older Elisha and Silas are related most likely brothers. blessings evelyn

Thank you Bill I appreciate it. Rachell

Rachell, I just checked the county cemetery listings and found that all the LYNCHes were buried in the Lynch - Ragland Cemetery, where many of my HODGE ancestors are buried, which was on the Harwell farm in 1978, near Delay, Dallas, Paris communities.

His wife’s name was Malena. The 8 kids were McDonald 16, Ella May 15, Idella 12, Eva 9, Doyle 8, Floyd 4, Earl 2, and a 2 month old listed as “Babe”. Also living in the house was John King age 69, who was probably Malena’s father. He was there on the 1910 Census with wife Malena and now with 9 kids. The oldest kid, McDonald, was gone but 2 more had been born since 1900. The kids were Ella M. 25, Idella 21, Eva 19, Doyle 18, Floyd 14, Earl 12, Wes (this was the kid listed as “Babe” in 1900) 9, Claudis 8 and Tommy 5. On the 1920 Census he was still living in Lafayette County with wife Malena. 4 of the kids had moved out and the following 5 were living at home: Floyd 23, Earl 21, Wes 19, Claudis 17 and Tommy L. 15. William Malone must have died between 1920 and 1930. He is not on the 1930 Census, but T.L. Malone (Tommy L.?), age 25, is. And living with T.L. is his wife Mary 19, his mother Malena 68 and his brother Floyd 34. His full name was William Jefferson Franklin Malone. I believe if I can learn this man's ancestry it will help lead me to some information about my Great grandmother, Alice Mae Moman. If anyone reading this knows anything about this Malone family I would appreciate you sharing it with me.

Yes! Wm. I never thought about Moorman and I bet that is it, the census taker left the other "O" out. "MOORMAN" could be it. So many Surname spellings were changed due to the nationality or ignorance of those early Census Takers and the common pioneer couldn't spell other than Biblically due to the lack of free schools, most were subscription schools.

I echo what Evelyn said about the possibility that the MOMAN surname was morphed into something more anglican, like MORMAN or MOORMAN. Proving this is another question, in view of the circumstances surrounding the childrens' birth. Bill

Morning Bill and all; I fully believe this surname is suppose to be Morman and they were from around Coffeville in Yalobusha Co. , how this arrived on the Lafayette list was she married a Ramsey and lived in Lafayette Co. for years. I think Paul posted on the Lafayette Board instead of the Yalobusha . He said the family thinks the mother was not married. That the children were using the mother's name. I spoke with a lady at the Lafayette Co. Skipwith His/Gen Library who was a member of Calhoun Co His/Gen Society and had been researching Gen. in all three counties for years. I ask her about the Moman spelling and she said she believe it should be Morman , there was a William Morman around Coffeville for years. There was a son , William mentioned in this query. blessing : Evelyn Paris MS. --- William Ward <spencer4488@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > I checked Marriage bond book 2, which covers the > period 1855 through 1865 and did not find even one > marriage where the groom's name was MALONE. > Bill Ward > > > > > ============================== > Search Family and Local Histories for stories about > your family and the > areas they lived.

So if anyone has access to the marriage records of Lafayette County during the period around 1860 I would appreciate a search to see if it can be found that a man with surname Malone married a woman with given name Winnie.
