Hi Group, Len has a rather extensive photo collection of various family members who lived in Neshoba County between 1839 and 1944. These photographs (tin-types, albuman prints, carte-viste, modern type photos) were taken between the years 1862 and early 1930s. Fortunately all of these photographs have writing on the back identifying the person(s) in the image. The handwriting is both that of my great grandmother and of my great-great grandparents. There are several "identified" individuals that I can't place in our family "history". These names have been posted on the web. Len is in the process of having them scanned! Check it out in First Families, Misc. Photos! Happy hunting, Marsha http://us-gen.com/ms/neshoba

Hi List Members! Just wanted to let yall know that my power went off Wednesday evening from the ice storm in Raleigh, NC. It came back on for an hour and a half Friday night--- Just enough to tease us! Finally, after almost a week without power (and NO COMPUTER!!!) we got power at noon today (Tuesday). I will get to everything just as quickly as I can! Sorry that I haven't been able to answer people or get information posted! If you've sent me something, and don't find it online by tomorrow evening, please let me know. Thanks again, Marsha Kemper & Neshoba, MS Warrick, IN Pemiscot, MO Bibb, AL

You might want to check out Duty Honor Valor by Steven Stubbs available from Dancing Rabbit Press in Philadelphia MS. It is a very well researched book (nearly 1,000 pages!) about the Mississippi troops in the Civil War, particularly Neshoba County.

Isn't there ANYBODY out there who knows ANYTHING about the Civil War unit that was raised in Neshoba Co. - better known as the "Neshoba Tigers" a unit of the 40th Mississippi Infantry Div.? I finally had my brother write to the MS Dept. of Archives & History (or whatever the correct name is) and they did say they had the Compiled Service Record for my great grandfather, Joseph Abner Johnson/Johnston, but did not know where he died or where he was buried. This is the info I'm really looking for. I truly believe that he did die in the Civil War because his widow - my great grandmother, Mary Undine Brown, remarried much too soon. I'm sure that she was probably nearly destitute and had two small children, so she married Judge Samuel McNeil in 1865, I believe, and he was much, much older and was himself a widower and a neighbor. Any help appreciated. Thank you.
