My connection to Tippah Co., MS is the name MCALLISTER (MCALISTER): Albert Broadus HOLLEY McAllister married my great aunt, Mary Josephine MCKINNEY, November 22, 1868. I don't know if they married in TX or MS. Her mother and siblings were in Hill Co., TX by 1867. A H McAllister was a Dentist in Blue Mountain, Tippah Co., MS. I understand he was also an inventor. He met my grandfather, John (J J) McKinney and his brother William Henry McKinney, during the Civil War. Through them he met their sister, my mother's Aunt Josie McKinney. These three men served in the Confederacy, in BALLENTINE'S Regiment, ARMSTRONG'S Brigade, JACKSON'S Div. They were in Co. E. Albert and Josie are buried in Union Co, MS in the McAllister Cemetery. Speaking of coming from St Clair Co., AL and moving to MS - our GREENLEE family made the same move. My husband's great grandparents were married in St Clair Co., AL, September 3, 1822. They were Hugh Greenlee (spelled Greenlie on the record), and Catharine (or Catherine) SHOEMAKER. Catharine's parents,we think, were John Harmon SHUMAKER and wife Elizabeth Shumaker. A brother of Hugh, John (David) Greenlee married Mary Ann MCKNIGHT, August 16, 1823 in St Clair, AL. Both Greenlee families moved to the area of Winston and Choctaw Cos. MS, by 1850. I understand the Shumakers were in the same area also in MS. We "think" David Greenlee was the father of Hugh and John. A David Greenlee, born 1772, was in the household of John Greenlee, Choctaw Co., MS census for 1850. If you have any of these family names, I would love to hear from you.

Melissa, The date of birth for Cynthia D. Arnold should be 8 January 1782. The last name is Arold on the tombstone. (For some unknown reason I have a picture of this tombstone). This is the date also recorded by Don Martini and Tommy Lockhart in 1974/75 when they compiled CEMETERIES OF TIPPAH COUNTY. At that time, they recorded 4 white burials; Cynthia D. Arnold, James H. Finger, William Shannon and Ada Finger.

Are there any records of an epidemic during 1858? Either flu, yellow fever, pneumonia, or epidemic of any type. Many thanks.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice on the Yellow Fever Epidemic. I am going to the Memphis Library to research the Commercial Appeals. Thanks again, Marsha

I did know he was buried there, probably learned it from the Tippah site. I have loved using the Tippah County site you have, all the free info on marriages and deaths is most helpful. Lois

The history department at the Memphis Shelby County Library on Poplar has all the old Memphis papers on microfilm. You might contact them and see about getting someone to do a lookup for you. http://www.memphislibrary.org/ Melissa -----Original Message----- From: OpusLola@aol.com [mailto:OpusLola@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 10:19 AM To: MSTIPPAH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MSTIPPAH-L] Yellow Fever Epidemic Marsha, sorry I cannot remember just where I saw that information. I think the Commercial Appeal, the Memphis Newspaper, published lists of those who died during the epidemics. Many of those were, of course, from Mississippi. Maybe you can find the information at the newspaper site.
