I found a couple of tidbits of information that you might want. First, George Zollicoffer (Zollikoffer) is mentioned in the book "Early Settlers of Lafayette County, Mississippi" published by the Skipwith Society; he was one of several men who bought lots in the newly established town of Eaton in 1837 (page 34). Next there is mention of William Zollicoffer as a landowner in 1850 who owned 580 acres of land valued at $4,00 with personal property valued at $1,670. He harvested 1,000 bushels of corn and 33 bales of cotton that year. Next, Lafayette Co., MS probate court docket 121 abstract reads as follows: GEORGE ZOLLACOFFER, dec's d843 (8 pieces) Will included dated 15 Sept. 1839, proved 1843. Abiigail C. Zollacoffer (widow) & Edwin C. Zollacoffer, Adm. Heirs: Amanda Nicholson m'd 1832 (now Sims), Nancy Lindsay m'd 1834 (Now James), Patsey Whitehead m'd 1833 (now Malone), 1st son William Ferdinand, 2nd son Edwin Christopher, 3rd son James Calvin, 4th son Oscar Mortimer & my wife Abigail. See No. 122 (James connection), 127 Box 89-136, No.404, 406 (Malone connectoin ?) Box 376-439, No 509 (Sims connection ?) Box 440-510. Based on the above, it looks like they had at least 7 children. I did not find any reference to Bostir Willade Zollicoffer. It looks like you now have all the children, with Patsey Whitehead Zollicoffer as a new one and confirmation that Edward was Edwin (or vice versa). In 1850 Abigail was living with her son James and his wife Mary ?___? With the married names of the female children, you should be able to track their descendants. I can't help with records of the marriages because the first marriage book (1833-1849) has been lost. Bill Ward

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I knew there had to be a record that I was missing. This info also tells me who the Malone children are that are living with Abigail in 1850. Patsy must have died or something. I will have to look on that to see. I could not figure out who the children belonged to but knew they had to belong to one of the girls. This helps and gives me some new places to look. Once again thank you so much. Hope I can return the favor someday.
