Hi, I am looking for the JONES family from Newton County, MS. Family story is that family came from the community of Old Hickory. Celia (Sellie) Elizabeth Jones was born 1863/64, supposedly in Newton County. Henry Newton Jones was born April 11, 1855 Jonathan (John) Mathias Jones was born in Scott County on February 18, 1852. We do not have their father's name, but their Mother was Martha Jones (nee MATHIS) according to family records. John's obituary indicates that he left Scott Co. by 1865 for Arkansas, spending 3 years there, and then on to Louisiana where he lived and died. I have located Martha (Jones) House in the 1880 census in Arkansas. Thank you! Lori

I am searching for information on Armstrong Smith and wife Susan Brazella/Brazilla Erial or Enal who came from Sumter Co. Al. by 1850 to Newton Co. I have them up to 1870. Two children were listed Wright born abt. 1838 in Al. He is not in the home in 1870. Is he married or deceased? Armstrong and Brazella had a daughter/Sally/Sarah born abt. 1845. She is not in the home in 1870 either.Is she married or deceased. Are there any descendants of this family? I believe through circumstantial evidence beginning in Sumter Co. Al. that Armstrong is a brother to my gg grand father Elihu Smith . Some of Elihu's descendants include the lines of Rigdon ,Stephens,Nelson ,Richardson,Pierce and others in the Newton Co. area. Some migrated to Ar. and married into the Barnett family. One of Elihu's daughters ,Mary Jane, married Franklin Dansby (my great uncle on my Dansby line).Franklin's first wife was Mary Elizabeth Threat. Another daughter Elizabeth,known as aunt Betty married George Leroy Nelson. George Nelson's first wife was Millery,(Milvery,Melley) Ellen Howington. I have hit a dead end on Armstrong and hoping to find some one who knows about this family. bobbye@microsped.com

After thoroughly examining the dates and names of the Threat's and Dansby on the 1870 Census of Newton Co. I realized that Francis was my great uncle Franklin Sylvester Dansby is in the home of his future father in law. Franklin's first wife was Mary Elizabeth Threat and they married about 1872 probably in Newton Co. bobbye@microsped.com

It is known by Dansby Researchers that the Dansby/Threat Family is connected. On the 1870 census of Newton Co. Twp. 8 Range 13 I find a Francis DANSBY age 20 Male born in Ms. Can anyone identify who the parents of Francis may be? bobbye@microsped.com

On the 1870 Newton Co. Census TWp. 8 Range 13 I found a Savana DANBSY age 17 born in Ms. She is listed in the home of P (?) Tounsend and wife. Does any Tounsend (Townsend) or Dansby research know whgo this person is. I am a Dansby descendant. bobbye@microsped.com

I am searching for any information on Thames in Newton County beginning around about 1840. Thanks, Versie

Elizabeth and Brazilla (Rozella) appear on the 1880 census in Newton Co. Ms. Where were they between 1840 and 1880? Who are their children and heirs? I find a James C Howington, age 46, b NC, with wife Elizabeth on the 1870 Newton CO MS census. Several people are listed in the house, but I'm not clear on whose children they are, as there is also the surname McElvay. Fran Bolton

I am searching for connections to Amelia Ann Elizabeth who married James Howington and her sister in law Brazila Erial who married Armstrong Smith .I know that Armstrong and Brazila married in Sumter Co. Al.May 16,1835 Both Armstrong and Amelia Ann Elizabeth may be siblings of my gr.gr.grand father Elihu Smith. Elihu (Eli Hugh) Smith married Milly Quimby in Sumter Co. Al. July 7,1840. All were in Sumter Co. census in 1840. Elizabeth and Brazilla (Rozella) appear on the 1880 census in Newton Co. Ms. Wwhere were they between 1840 and 1880? Who are their children and heirs? Is James Howington related to Leo Howington who married Sophie M. Dansby. Dansby is also my line? bobbye@microsped.com

I would like to make contact with Stephanie Beeman who posted information under two e mail address on the Joseph Oliver Beeman family. If any one knows of a current e mail address please contact me. Thanks bobbye@microsped.com

Why not help the list members, too? Take down the remembrances of your grandmother's roomate about Newton County and post them on the list. Ralph Poore 3440 S.

Vern, You asked about an online data base to check for Rosa Alonzo Brown's property. I do not know of one, but the Newton County Historical and Genealogical Society, located in Decatur, MS, are acting as "custodians" of some of the old Newton County court records. We have only recently moved into our quarters and taken on this responsibility. We are staffed with volunteer members of NCHGS, but if there is something that we can help you with, we will be glad to do so for a small charge. If you live near enough to Decatur, please pay us a visit. Our telephone number is 601-635-2350 or you can email me at bh330plms@aol.com. Bess, Secretary of NCHGS

I'm trying to find out where my great-grandfather Rosa's farm was in 1920. I'm sure he paid the usual and normal property taxes and such. Is there an online database of any kind that I might search to determine the legal property description and therefore it's location? As far as I can tell, everyone between us in the tree has passed so I have no living source for any information like this. Thanks in advance for any help you provide. Vern

Thanks for correcting the death date Carol. I looked at your web site too quickly and had too many ancestors on my mind. I know Wesley didn't die in 1821, or he wouldn't have had my great-great-grandfather. Lee Anne

I have looked and found no will. Wesley Boler died 1882. His father William Bowler died 1821 in Clarke Co, AL.
