Ms Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ms/Lawrence/605 Surname: Martin, Stegall, Reid ------------------------- Nicole, Family and other information states the following: Sara Elizabeth [or Sarah E.] Martin b. 30 May 1855 [poss.

Reid 3 May 1883 in Lawrence co, MS [listed as Sarah Stegall] known and supposed children: Jeanettie Georgiana Reid b. 19 Jul 1884 m. Letchworth poss twins born betw 1886-1887 Plez Z. Reid b. 30 May 1888 b. Monticello, Lawrence, MS Baz E. Reid b. 9 Aug 1891 b. Monticello, Lawrence, MS Sara Martin Stegall Reid d. 1 Jan 1900 prob. MS is buried Bethel Baptist Cem.nr Monticello, Lawrence co, MS George M. Reid b. 14 Dec 1857 poss. nr. Wesson d. 21 Feb 1934 poss. Lawrence co., MS bur. Bethel Baptist Cem., Lawrence, MS George's parents Elbert W. Reid and Elizabeth Mullins I don't have easy access to any MS census except the 1850 MS census which is online. I believe George in in Pike in 1910. Leah Martin Wakefield's father shows Sarah E. Martin m. George Reid or Reed as daughter of John Anderson Martin and Mary Elisabeth Pate. This family shows up in Smith co [state?] in 1860. But he also shows Sarah d. Aug 1886 in Crystal Springs, Lincoln co, MS. I don't know if this information is correct except for the death date OR if this is entirely a different person. There is consensus among grandshildren of our Sara[h] that she died in 1900. I have not found George and the children in 1900 census. George and Sarah were not yet married to each other in 1880. The 1890 census is not available. I don't know if there is a 1900 mortality index. I have not found Benjamin and Sarah in 1880 and don't know if Benjamin died before she married George. I don't have further details on Benjamin Stegall. Would love to find more information. Do you need any other specifics? Darlene
