Hello, Bill; May I post this information on the Lafayette Co MSGenWeb page? I thought perhaps you had posted it there when you were the CC and webmaster, but, can't find anything about WEBB and SHAPE families there. There is a Shape timber company in that area now, in fact, they have found many of the abondoned or lost cemteries in recent years, I believe they were the ones who uncovered the OLD Huckaby cemetery several years ago. Waiting for your reply, Evie Crocker CC and webmaster; Lafayette Co., MSGenWeb Project Yalobusha Co., MSGenWeb Project --- spencer4488@sbcglobal.net wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to > this mailing list. > > Surnames: WEBB, SHARP, WARD > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AKB.2ACI/375.377.461.494.573.753.1.1 > > Message Board Post: > > The 1850 census, page 289, Lafayette County, MS, > indicates that the WEBB and SHARP families lived > next door to each other, as shown below. > > Dwelling 882 > Sharp, John J. 50 M Farmer 1300 SC > Elizabeth 47 F SC > William W. 22 M Laborer AL > Ezekiel 20 M Laborer AL > Elizabeth 18 F > AL > Lucinda 16 F > AL > Ellen 15 F > AL > John J. 14 M > AL > James N. 9/12 M AL > Charlotte D. 10 F AL > Elijah P. 9 M > AL > Elisha A. 6 M > AL > John Sharp 85 M Farmer 500 SC > > Dwelling 883 > Elisha Webb 26 M Farmer 500 AL > Mary 24 F AL > Elijah 5 M > AL > William W. 1 M MS > John G. 9/12 M MS > Nathan 21 M Laborer AL > > On the 1860 census, these two families lived at > dwellings 63 (SHARP) and 65 (WEBB).
