My great uncle Irvin Clark EVERETT (1881-1926) was married to Leone ROBERTS when Irvin died at a young age she married James Monroe RIVERS (1874-1954). My mother has always referred to him as uncle Jim Rivers. On his mail route he would take orders for thread, material, seeds etc. In turn they gave him things out of the garden or orchard. -----Original Message----- From: Susan Marston [mailto:smarston@mn.rr.com] Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2003 12:04 PM To: MSNESHOB-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MSNESHOB] Beginning Research in Neshoba County Probably any Sharp or Rivers in Neshoba County would tie in with mine... collateral lines.

Yes, there are problems with any index. Since I have a subscription to ancestry.com, I usually will look at the original as well. But in general, I think the index at familysearch.org is a bit better than the one on ancestry.com... plus it's free!

Susan & others, A word of advice about the 1880 census at family search, make sure that you check the adjoining households.

Probably any Sharp or Rivers in Neshoba County would tie in with mine... collateral lines.

Sally & All, First welcome to the MSNeshoba list. What a great bunch of people we have on the list. Everyone is so good at trying to help with some very sound advice. I have 1 WAYNE in my database and they are in next door in Newton Co., MS. Alvin Denton Adams & Florence Elizabeth WAYNE had a daughter Lurline Adams (b-1910-d-1995) who married my grand uncle Wilbur Howard Everett 14 Apr 1934, at the Baptist Parsonage, Union, Newton Co., MS. I realize that this is about 100 years later than you are interested in but you never know when you might have a break through. Good luck in your research and in controlling your new addiction---GENEALOGY.

Susan; You sure gave some wonderful advice and wish I would have received the same when I first started several years ago. You actually gave me reviving thoughts on sights to research again. Seen families you were researching and wonder if any of these connect that are on my lineage of Clarks: Mechum Annie Coats Sharp m. Andrew Clark (show 2 children), Thurston Rivers m. Dora Clark, Willie Dean Rivers m. Dan McDonald, and I only show "a" Jackson m. Patsy Gibbs? Just caught your names there and thought I would check. Thanks, Gladys Clark, Arkansas

Sue; I, like you read all the messages, just hoping constantly for any little sign or connection. I have no Wayne's on my listing in Neshoba, either. My Clarks have been a lot of hard research and I am only up to 1,905 folks where on some of my other family lineage I have many thousands. So I keep hoping for any connections. All you folks keep up the good work and Happy Holidays. Gladys Clark, Arkansas

To Sally, and others new to research: A few years ago, when I was just beginning to do my actual research (as opposed to entering family lore into my database), I asked an experienced genealogist what her first steps were when she found new people to research. Her answer: find them in the census records. I have found this to be an invaluable tool, as it places them in a specific place at a specific time and, beginning with the 1850 census, with specific other individuals. If you can afford it, a subscription to ancestry.com's census collection is wonderful, as they have most of the US censuses transcribed. Many years are indexed, with a couple having all-names indexes. (Don't get tripped up by exact spellings, however! Names are often spelled wrong.) The 1880 census is online at familysearch.org for free, with every name indexed. The USGenWeb Project has a project for census transcription located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/cen_img.htm which you can check to see if your counties of interest have been transcribed. Otherwise, you can use borrow census films from the National Archives http://www.archives.gov/publications/microfilm_catalogs/how_to_rent_microfil m.html Speaking of the USGenWeb Project, that leads to specifics about Neshoba County. http://www.usgenweb.org/ is the link for the main project. Click on the state's pages, find the county of interest, and you'll be amazed at what all you can find online. Counties vary as to the content available. The Neshoba County GenWeb coordinator, Marsha Bryant, has done a wonderful job of soliciting and obtaining information from volunteers and Neshoba County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~msneshob/ is the home page for the site, which also has a search feature. Plugging in "Wayne" I got 19 hits, which would lead to the individual pages on which Wayne is found. You've already found a third method: the Rootsweb email lists. Did you know you can also view the archives ( http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ ) for the lists as well as do a search ( http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl ) in email list archives? Also, explore Rootsweb thoroughly. There is a wealth of information here. There are lessons to learn how to do genealogy research, submitted databases (WorldConnect), message boards, etc. Another good search tool is www.cyndislist.com, which is basically a catalog of web sites, broken down by topic. Just about everything you wanted to know can be found here. What information do you KNOW about your Elizabeth (Betty) Wayne? Birth date? Death date? Marriage date? Is Wayne her married name or her birth name? Who did she marry? In what locations can you specifically place her? In general, one should start from what is KNOWN and work backwards to the unknown. Good luck in your searching. Genealogy is an addicting hobby!

I've just finished transcribing an excerpt from "A Concise History of the Introduction of Protestantism into Mississippi and the Southwest," written by John Griffing Jones, over 140 years ago. Richard Curtis, Jr., on whom this excerpt is focused, was the brother of my 4-g-grandmother, Martha "Phoebe" Curtis Stampley, wife of John Stampley. The Curtis and Stampley families were early pioneers of the MS Territory. Richard Curtis, Jr. was the first Baptist minister in the "wide region of the Southwest, below the Cumberland settlements in Middle Tennessee." He organized the first church of that faith in approximately 1788. His story, and the story of all of the settlers of Cole's Creek, in what would later become Jefferson County, MS, is a tale fraught with peril and filled with adventure. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I have: www.geocities.com/twincousin2334/History_Protestantism_Mississippi My favorite part: "Their families and neighbors hastily collected and prepared such supplies as they would need on their long and perilous journey through the various tribes of Indians inhabiting the vast region between the Natchez country and Georgia.......all things being in a state of readiness, a new and unexpected difficulty sprang up. Not a man could be found willing to risk the penalty of 'aiding and abetting' in the escape of the refugees. Their absence from home a single day or night might throw suspicion on them and lead to disastrous consequences; and the question was asked, with increasing anxiety, 'Who will take the supplies to their place of concealment on Bayou Pierre?' The question was soon answered. There lived in the vicinity a noble-hearted and daring woman by the name of Chloe Holt.......who was in every way suitable for such an adventure as was now on hand. Aunt Chloe had a kind and sympathizing heart, but an iron will, was determined and bold, and withal was a little eccentric. While she was all aglow to have the pleasure and honor of conveying the needed supplies to the exiles, she wished to hit a backhanded lick at what she considered the cowardice of the men in the neighborhood. 'If the men in the neighborhood,' said she, 'are so fainthearted that not one of them can be prevailed upon to take Dick Curtis and his companions in exile their promised supplies in order to secure their escape.......if they will furnish me with a good horse, surmounted with a man's saddle, I will go in spite of the Spaniards, and they may catch me if they can.'

I've been receiving emails about the McKees of Neshoba County, Ms. I am looking for information about the Waynes of Neshoba County. My great great grandmother was Elizabeth (Betty) Wayne. I think her husband died in the early 1800s, possibly during the Civil War. I am "brand new" in genealogy and would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks, Sally Hicks

Thanks much for checking. The mystery continues but that's what makes genealogy so challenging and interesting. Bob, AL

Bob: I have always wondered who is this James P. Adkins, living in the household with the Wilsons. I have searched my line of Adkins and there is no connection to my knowldege. My line of Adkins came from Surry County, Virginia; to York County,South Carolina; to Henry County,Georgia; to Neshoba County, MS; and some went on to Louisiana. However, my GGgrandparents were Benjamin Franklin and Eliza J. Tinsley Adkins, and they disapeared after the 1860 census. One of their sons was John L. Adkins, born in 1846, and married Susan Davison. He and his line stayed in Neshoba & Newton Counties. Sorry that I could not help. Howard G. Adkins Ona, WV

Ona, WV Would you, or any other Adkins family member, have anything on the family of James P. Adkins who was born in Mississippi (probably Neshoba County)? He is listed in the household of Colonel James Wilson on the 1860 Neshoba Cty Federal Census. In 1870 James P. Adkins is shown in his own household with wife Elizabeth who is Elizabeth Combs, daughter of Mary Jones Combs. Mary Jones Combs married Colonel James Wilson after her first husband, William Combs, died in Georgia. Also on this census in his household is listed one son, William L. Adkins, born 1867. James was born about 1846 and his wife Elizabeth was born about 1845 in Georgia. From older Combs family members (now deceased), they believed James and his family moved to Louisiana and perhaps to Texas. I have not been able to locate James P. Adkins and his family after the 1870 census. I do not know if he was still in Neshoba County on the 1880 census. My relationship is through the older brother of Elizabeth Combs, James Deck Combs, who remained in Neshoba and Lauderdale Counties. Her younger sister Sarah Ann Combs who married Richard Henry House also remained in Neshoba County. Colonel James Wilson lived at Muckalushia near House in the southeast part of Neshoba County. Also I have information on the Combs family, Colonel James Wilson family and Mose Wilson Adams family of Neshoba County if anyone is researching these families. Thank you very much, Bob, AL

I have a cousin and a real distant cousin both in Philadelphia who sometimes go to the library for me. Another cousin lives almost to the TN border, but still in MS. Sometimes she can get down that way. Will check on Johnson names. I've got some but need to take a closer look. It would probably be great if you can send the tombstone photos from Black Jack tothe Neshoba county web site.
