A reservation still exist in a neighboring county. I think the Blackwater Baptist Church is still in existance.Most likely the associations referred to a group of baptist churches. I am also researching the Mosley, Holloway, Dew, Johnson, Pettus,Prince, Meeks, and Weston surnames from Kemper and Lauderdale counties. I just discovered my connection to the Mosley and Holloways this week through the obituary of Holloway Mosley whoes parents were Wash Mosley and Anna Holloway. E-mail me direct: narbr10089@aol.com
