Theresa, Thanks for your reply. I have visited the Crenshaw Cemetery. Would Crenshaw be considered in Splunge? The death certificate states that burial was in Splunge and another family researcher says William Lewis is not buried in Crenshaw where the Civil War tombstone is located. Yet they didn't know where. Do you know of cemeteries in Splunge? The only cemetery in Splunge I have seen listed is Splunge School Cemetery and it has only one grave. I guess I could just accept that he is buried in Crenshaw where the Civil War tombstone is located.

Clyde Wilson editor and owner of Tombigbee Country magazine was found dead in his home when he didn't show up for breakfast at a local restaurant on the morning of July 30, 2009. I first met Clyde 10 years ago about the time he started TCM. I looked him up for help on a project. I asked for help and he helped me, simple as that. It didn’t matter to him that he had never seen me before. Down through the years, when I called Clyde for help, I always got more help than I imagined. I learned much from him about writing and about living life. He was a true Southerner and I loved him for it. I mourn in the passing of Clyde, but I know in my heart he is in the “Great Beyond” and he is researching the best story he has ever researched. Tombigbee Country Magazine has been sold. I talked with the editor today and he is enthusiastic about the opportunity of getting to serve the readers of TCM. This first issue since Clyde left should be in the mail around September 16th. He apologizes for any inconveniences to anyone during this time of transition. It is the intent of the new editor to strive to keep Tombigbee Country Magazine as Clyde would have it. Any questions or concerns that you have, you may email [email protected] or write Tombigbee Country Magazine P. O. Box 621 Guin, AL 35563. I know he will welcome your stories and input just as Clyde did. The issue coming out next week will explain the sell of the magazine but I wanted to give you a heads up and tell you I am excited about the purchase. Life does continue and Clyde, if he were here, would want us to get to know and help the new editor and owner. How do I know that? That's what Clyde Thompson Wilson was all about, "helping and sharing". Barbara Woolbright Carruth

Several years ago, I made contact with a great granddaughter of Mary Mathilde Strong & Warren Montgomery Ellis named Maria Elisa Byington.  She was born and raised in the American colony in Brazil.  She made a discovery in an old trunk theat had belonged to her aunt, Sally Strong.  It contained a number of love letters that had been written to her by a young Confederate officer.  He had courted her before the war but her heart belonged to another soldier who was killed in the Civil War.  His letters continued even after the war ended and she decided to accompany her father to Brazil. Sally's suitor told her about post-war life in MS snd begged her to return so that they could be married.  Sally's heart remained true to her deceased love and she remained unmarried in Brazil for the rest of her life.  Mrs. Byington wrote a book about Sally Strong based on the letters.

That is very interesting. Should you find some names, please post them to the list here, so others can continue researching should they match their ancestral surnames. I had never heard this, but it makes sense. There was a movie, "The Undefeated" with Rock Hudson, aka Roy Harold Scherer, Jr, and John Wayne about a group of Confederate families moving to Mexico after the Civil War, and I always thought that was just fiction. Perhaps it was based on fact.
