I've done just a touch on Thompson in Tippah County. Joe W. Thompson, born August 6, 1875 in Mississippi - I know not where but raised his family in Tippah and Benton Counties and is buried in Benton. Connections to the Edwards family of the same general area. Joel and Jane Thompson citadl65@earthlink.net

only was going to send Tippah web sight to you. I really wasn't asking for help. Most of mine are from Tippah. Thank you though.

I have been researching a Thompson Family from Tippah/Union County for many years and may be able to help in your search if you provide a hint or two.

Have you checked on the Tippah County Mississippi Connecting Family's? There are 11 Purvis' and 1 Thompson, maybe they are part of your family. Good luck!

Surnames: WARD Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iJB.2ACE/1002 Message Board Post: In a military statement my great great grandfather Laurel L. WARD says he was born in Tippah Co. MS. on Feb. 14, 1842. The first I have found of him on any census is in 1860 at age 18 he was enumerated in Memphis, Shelby CO. TN In the 1860 Shelby Co Census he is listed as a "teamster".The HOH is "John WARD" age 49 "farmer" b. ALABAMA. I believe this to be his *father but have no proof. There are 5 other WARD sons listed as labor: Henry 17, John 12, Wm 10, Duke 9 and Jerome 3 ALL the children are listed as BORN IN MISSISSIPPI so I can surmise that they moved from Ms to Tn no earlier than 1857. I am trying to find this family in any 1850 MISSISSIPPI census...so far without luck. The logical locations would be Tippah, Marshall or DeSoto Cos. If anyone can do a lookup for "John WARD" I would appreciate it Laurel returned to Mississippi and served there in the Civil War was severly wounded at Shiloh,married my gggrandmother Anna Eliza SCHRIMSHER in TATE CO, MS in 1877 and was enumerated in DeSoto Co.MS in 1880. The family had re-located to Madison Co AL by the 1890's. I'm desperately trying to find out more about the elusive John WARD and to prove he is Laurel L. WARD's father. Thank you for any and all help. Melissa Ellis Co TX NOTE:* my great grandfather was named John William Lemuel WARD...Laurel L Ward and Anna Eliza SCHRIMSHER's first child born in DeSoto Co. MS in 1878.

Just as a guess, I would suggest that the original land your family obtained was possibly in the disputed territory with Tennesee and thus was originally thought to be in Mississippi, before the re-survey was completed and the property claims settled. Certainly the family names you mention are/were common in Tippah Co. between 1840 and 1860. Ron

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iJB.2ACE/214.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Nancey and William were my gggg grand parents. Here is the information I have. William Maxwell was born 3 Aug 1786 in NC He died 9 Aug 1842 in Tippah MS. Nancey was born 15 Feb 1795 in KY. I have a marriage date of 6 Aug 1812 in TN Following William's death, Nancey and several of the children moved to Hardeman County, TN. near her Daughter Nancey Jane Maxwell who married my ggg Grandfather Daniel Wilson Lowrance. I have this Nancey listed as born 14 Feb 1825, married 29 Sept 1845 and death 1916. She is buried in the Corinth Cemetery, Grant County, Arkansas. The best I have figured so far is that they moved to Arkansas before 1870 they were listed on the 1880 census for Saline County Arkansas and Daniel died prior to 1877 and my gg grandfather John married in Saline County in 1874. They were still in TN in 1848 because my gg grandfather John Wilson Lowrance was born there. Her Mother Nancey Reed Maxwell is listed with the children on 1850 Hardeman County, TN census as Mancey Maxwell it was noted on this census that she could read and write. The children listed as living with her at that time were Celia 13, William 13 and Rebecca 18. all of these children are listed as having been born in TN. Nearby lived a John and Sarah Maxwell. John was listed as having also been born in TN. I have only just begun searching out this family. There seem to be many brick walls. I am checking Indian records on this family as I have located similar names on the Guion-Miller Rolls.(several Nancy's and Nannie Reed's born both in TN and NC and also Maxwell's) I also found on the Son of William listed in the census in the area of Benton County MS (near Tippah) as have Reed children living in the home. I'd appreciate it if you would continue posting updates as you find them and I will to. Perhaps we will be able to track down other members of the families.
