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. My grandmother's sister married a Rivers, and I have a copy of a genealogy that I photocopies from the Neshoba County Library 2 years ago. There are some Sharp researchers who have sent me huge amounts of information. I haven't begun to input any of the Rivers information, and have some Sharp stuff. As I enter information, I try to input sources from the Neshoba County marriages (online), the Neshoba cemetery book, and census records. It's rather hit or miss; I'll work one line for a while, then get onto a different one entirely!

I have James Monroe Rivers' first wife as Annie O. Sanders and children: Willie Idoma Jack Mamie Eula Bell Lillie I have the father of James Monroe Rivers as Edgar Monroe Rivers and Nancy Pearl Williams. Is this right? I am looking for information on William Rivers b. abt 1806 - 1810 GA who lived in Marengo Co., AL in about 1840 and moved to Lauderdale Co., MS. He first married ____ and had two children: Dolly Ann Rivers b. 1834 AL and William A. J. Rivers b. 1836 AL. She must have died as he remarried to Mary Ann Ellis and had a large family.
