The Rivers genealogy that I photocopied from the Neshoba Library in Philadelphia is titled, "Family of John Rivers of Neshoba and Newton Counties", dated October 1985, and was compiled by Mrs. Terry (Margaret) Rivers and Billy Flanagan. The cover sheet states: "This outline is an attempt to document all the descendants of John and Elizabeth Rivers who moved from Pike Co Georgia to Mississippi in 1836." This genealogy suggests two scenarios: 1) The James Monroe Rivers you have is from a line other than this one; or 2) The information on the James Monroe Rivers they have is incorrect. The James Monroe Rivers in this genealogy (the same one as listed in Ann's email) is listed as the son of Rev. Thomas Hayes Rivers (29 May 1853 - 11 Feb 1924). I suspect "your" James Monroe Rivers is from a different line. Susan Marston > 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?
