Need parents of Sarah Caradine, b. 1832 MS m. Reuben W. Barrett about 1856. Reuben was the son of Arthur Barrett and Mary Caradine of Neshoba Co. Reuben and Sarah were in Neshoba Co. on 1870 census, in Scott Co. 1880 . Rueben died in Smith Co. 1894 and Sarah was living with their son Ruffin in Simpson Co. in 1900. Other children were Mary Burt Barrett, Jasper, Leondas, Lycurgas and Nancy Sylvester Barrett. Sarah Caradine Barrett was at least half Native American.

My grandsire was AARON LEE, born Johnston County, NC 1780>Conecuh County, AL> Lowndes County, AL>Neshoba County, MS where he died about 1857. His wife was MARY UNKNOWN, born VA 1782. Their son in law, LOVARD INGRAM was marr to MARTHA E. LEE who died before the clan came to MS in about 1840. He left many descendants in Neshoba. WILLIAM WASHINGTON SALTER was born in GA 1803. His parents were SAMUEL SALTER and MARY CUMMINGS.

Looking for descendants of BARRETT in Neshoba County, in particular William Grant Barrett b. 1831. There are quite a few BARRETT researchers around the country, but I don't know of any still in Neshoba County. Thanks, Jean

Currently researching the descendants of John Curtis Hardy (1829-1907) and Mary Delilah Swearingen (1836-1894).

Hi Group, Sorry about that, I left out the MS part!... the address is: http://us-gen.com/ms/neshoba Please try again! Also, for those not knowing what a roll call is: Place the surnames you are researching in the subject line. In the body of the letter, add any significant details (married, dates, etc.) This way, we all know who you are searching for. Maybe one of us is researching the same family. The note is VERY SHORT! No family trees in it... Just major names & dates. The reason you put your surnames in the subject line is we can see who you are looking for without opening the note. If we have no ancestors by that name, we can just delete the note without opening it. If there is someone we are interested in, we can write to that person for more details. Your note might read: Subject: ROBBINS, HOLLEY, BRYAN Searching for parents of John Robbins, b. 1850, married Mary Holley in 1875. 5 children. Susie Robbins, b. 1876 Neshoba, married Henry Bryan 1895. Marsha

Hi Group, It's been a long time! I wanted ya'll to know that Neshoba has a new look. Check it out! Also, it's been quite a while since I've seen a roll call for researchers on Neshoba. What do yall think about having a roll call this week? Remember, if you have any information you'd like to submit to Neshoba GenWeb, I'd love to have it! Happy ancestor hunting, Marsha Bryant Neshoba County Coordinator- MS GenWeb http://us-gen.com/neshoba

I am told that I have a long lost relative that helped out in the Treaty Of Dancing Rabbit Creek. My surnames are Adcock/Adcox and Runnels/Runnells. Thank you for your time, Cynthia Lynn Adcock Williams

Hi Group, Just thought I'd let you know that I've given Neshoba a "face lift!" I hope you like the new look. If you can't find something that was always there, please let me know. With over 200 pages to link, I might have missed a page or two. If a page looks really "Funky", please let me know that too. I'll fix it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on how the web can be better! Marsha us-gen.org/ms/neshoba

Hi Group, Bryan McRaven sent in the cemetery list of Jones Cemetery! Thanks Bryan! Find the link on What's New or in the Cemetery Section! Marsha http://us-gen.org/ms/neshoba

Dear List, It was brought to my attention that I didn't even mention our military. Can you believe it? My 27 year old son is in the Air Force and returned to American soil only six months ago. I know that many of you list member have sons & daughters and other relatives in the military an of course we are very proud of them and now they need our prayers more than ever. Especially remember those in foreign countries since in many cases they don't have their family around them. Our military bases were put on the highest alert yesterday. I have inserted a message from another concerned mother and she put is so well I wanted to share with you. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.. Ann.....I just wanted to say Amen to your email and to bring to your attention that there are other ways that this catastrophe has affected people that are not at the disaster sites. --------- I would like to request that you put our military personnel, as well as their families, on your prayer list. This dastardly attack on our country could resonate all over the globe. Until the relatives of those in the midst of these "bombings" get information about their condition, they, too, will be biting their nails. The waiting seems to be unbearable. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> God only knows what lies ahead for our country and we all need His guidance. God Bless America Ann

This you might say is off subject but I feel it is very much the subject today. As list owner I will ask that you ask God to bless our country as we have experienced the most devastating single day in the history of our county. If you have another religion please understand that I respect your right and ask your God the same blessing. Let's not post any thing to our mail list but quietly in our own way ask Him to supply strength for our leaders who must address this tragedy. I will pray for each of you and yours tonight who might be directly or indirectly effected. Our families who are scattered across this great country need our prayers. God Bless you all and God Bless the USA Ann Bohannon McDonald, Web Mistress Malden, MO
