Surnames: Piney Woods & Wardell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XJB.2ACE/558 Message Board Post: Hi: I Notice several Queries mention "Piney Woods." I am curious at to where and what was Piney Woods? My wife's Father and Grandfather had a sawmill in what they referred to as "PineyWoods" in Rankin county. Their names were, Thomas Daniel Wardell and Karl Thomas Wardell, (Grandfather and Father respectively). Thomas Daniel Wardell is buried in a cemetery (named Wardell Cemetery I think) in Rankin County. The exact location I can not remember now. Any Information about the above will be greatly appreciated. Andy Miller
