I also have a lot of Deweese descendants. See what I mean about the family getting confusing! I show Chatman as Jones, rather than James. My grandma is a Jones also. The Breland (see Ina) family is pretty well known at the time in Neshoba County. There is a lot of info on them. I have especially gotten some good local flavor of the ancestors from Mr Breland's articles in the Neshoba Democrat. He wrote about a lot fo these common ancestors. I have found most on Cannon and DeWeese. I have heard a bit about the train wreck and William. One version has another relative also on the train. ANything about that in your records? Will have to look more closely at your wonderful data later. Thanks for sharing. J. Russell Adkinshg@aol.com wrote: >Gladys Clark: > Saw your note on MSNESHOB and though I would respond.

I have pictures of all of the Clark tombstones in Black Jack Cemetery if you would like me to e-mail them to you. A lady by the name of Lisa Duncan, I believe, who evidently lives close by and who goes over to that cemetery quite frequently, sent them to me. Let me know. By the way, Julie or Gladys, do either one of you live in Mississippi, most especially in Neshoba County, by any chance? Also, what about Johnson ancestors or relatives? I was, after all, a Johnson before I was a Howard, thanks to my Clark grandmother, Louisa Frances (Fanny) Clark, marrying John Randel Johnson.

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. Check on my stories about Cannons and see the photos I attached (part is in First Families, part in Cemeteries.) I'd love to add the photos to my collection though. suehoward wrote: >I have pictures of all of the Clark tombstones in Black Jack Cemetery if you >would like me to e-mail them to you.
