Does anyone have any information on Isaac Briggs. All I know is from my gggrandmother's death certificate........her name was Margaret Ann Briggs and her parents were Isaac Briggs and Caroline Rochester. Margaret was born in MS, possibly in Tippah or a nearby county. Margaret was born in 1854. Shortly before 1900 she and her husband, F.A. NOLEN moved to LeFlore Co., OK. If anyone has any suggestions of where I should look, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Kathy

Seeking any info on the marriage of: John W. RIGGS to Martha C. PROCTOR, 5 Mar. 1861, in Tippah Co., MS. This marriage is shown at the Tippah site marriages for 1858-1899. Just below the entry for John and Martha is a marriage listing for Martha RIGGS and James H. PATTON, on ll Nov. 1869. I'm wondering if these two marriages are for the same Martha? Also, what does the initial "W" in John's name stand for? Any help is gratefully appreciated. Peggy Riggs Kopp

"Hello again Cousins!" Might any one of you happen to be familiar with the below individual? Name: Eliza Lavinia GLENN Sex: F Birth: Abt 1840 Place: ,,SC Chr: Place: Marr: Spouse: Marr: Spouse: Marr: Spouse: Death: Place: Burial: Place: Father: Milton GLENN-154250 Mother: Mary E. KENDRICK-153861 Notes------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is she the individual who m. W. L. JACKSON, 16 Jan 1866, Tippah Co., MS? Or might she be the Elizabeth GLENN who m John PARK, 4 Mar 1876, in Tippah CO., MS? Am hoping to learn whether she was indeed one and the same individual as married either W. L. JACKSON or John PARK, or just exactly who if she did indeed live to marry, and if so what happened to her family's descendants down through 1920 or so. Will gladly share what I know of this family's ancestry with anyone whose family might happen to descend through this GLENN family! Keeping my fingers crossed here!

I'm curious abour a Willie Shankle of Tippah Co. He was in the 1850 & 1860 censuses(born about 1800). In 1860 my gt gt grandfather's brother is listed in Willie's household, and I am wondering if there is any connection. My gt gt gt uncle was Samuel Noah/Noe and he was 17 in 1860. Samuel's brother, my gt gt grandfather Thomas R Noe, married Martha Perkins of Tippah Co. in 1861. (We dont know where Thomas was in 1860). Martha's maternal grandfather was Fredrick Collins of Tippah County-in 1850 Willie Shankle is enumerated in the census directly next to Fredrick Collins. So, any information on the Shankle family, and particularly any possible connection to Noe/Noah, Collins, or Perkins families will be much appreciated. Thanks, Jack Noe

Hello List, I have lewis N. Dawson marrying of Tippah Co marrying Mary Treece (Treas) on 7-18-1846. They relocated to Covington Tn In Tipton Co. Their children were: Julia, George, James, Martha, Frances, Nora, and Charles. Chuck Treece

Hello List, My oldest DAWSON ancestor and brick wall, James C. DAWSON, was one of the earliest settlers of Tippah County. I'm looking for any info on him and his descendants, especially where he might be buried. He's not listed in the cemetery books. James C. DAWSON Sr. (sometimes called John Sr.) was born abt. 1775. Believed to have married a Mary MARTIN in TN, though no marriage record has been found. A cousin tells me James' will was proven in Tippah County in 1845 - I'd love to know if there are any original papers still available. According to Goodspeed, James DAWSON was a "Home Guard" member in Hardeman Co., TN, 1838. I have a "feeling" that his father was a Revolutionary War patriot. A family Bible lists all 9 of the children of James and Mary, born between 1801 and 1819. They are... Drucinda (married John GOAD 18 Sep 1823 Williamson Co., TN) John Martin (my ancestor, married Phoebe Rhoda REYNOLDS 19 Aug 1825 Williamson Co., TN) William H. Robert Anderson (my cousin's ancestor, married Sarah N. McCALL), Elizabeth Lewis W. Nelson C. (married Martha \\ bef. 1840) James C. (married Sarah BROWN 8 Jan 1839 Hardeman Co., TN) and Nathaniel Nicholas (married Julia Ann CHISM 14 Oct 1841). Is there anyone on the list who is in Tippah Co. and is willing to do research for cost or maybe a small fee? Chandra Dawson Martin
