I have hit the proverbial brick wall. I am trying to find relations of my g-grandfather Allen Reynolds who shows up in the 1860 census of Tippah co,Ms at being born in NC in 1832. Possibly siblings of his or his wife Martha Whittington Reynolds. Allen Reynolds was born in 1832. He was a Confederate soldier and a member of Co. H.,34th infantry, Mississippi Volunteers. He died as a soldier in1863 and was buried in Myrtle hill cemetery Rome, Georgia. Allen Reynolds married Martha Whittington from Jefferson County, Alabama. Martha was born March 5, 1837 the daughter of Wilburn Whittington and Mary Goolsby. Allen and Martha had two sons Jacob Allen born April 1862 and John Francis born December 2, 1859. The sons were born in Tippah County, Mississippi. Martha and the two sons moved to Van Zandt County ,Texas in 1873. Martha later married Mr. Harrington . There was also a daughter of Martha's, Mary Sanders . Martha Whittington Reynolds Harrington died October 24, 1922 and is buried in Liberty Cemetery on FM 2339 about 5 miles west of Callender Lake in Van Zandt County. Thanks, Roy Reynolds

In answer to 4gkids@elltel.nt who is searching for McBrides, I notice one married William Gibson Blair. Although this Blair is not in my line, I noticed some info on him and Sarah Cornelia on Rootsweb's message board's Blair -L Archives. The following info was posted by nelles@mtc.net : Some Blairs settled in Mosinee, Marathon Co. Wisconsin in about 1851. William G. Blair ran a hotel, the Falls City house, until he left for the Civil War in 1861. He was captured and held prisoner during Civil War, and exchanged at Nashville, TN. Too weak to travel home he died in 1864. He is buried in Chattanooga, TN. He was born in Glascow, Scotland, 1808. He married Sara Cornelia, and they came to Mosinee with three children, Lusy F Blair, b 1845 in IL. Charles B. Blair, b 1851, drowned playing in the river July 23, 1860, and William G Blair, b. 1849, who drowned with his brother. Three children died before they reached Mosinee. They had Helena Margaret Blair May 20, 1853, born in Mosinee. She married Ovando Hosford, son of William Hosford, and moved to Lawrence Kansas around 1879. She died in Lawrence Kansas. One of her six children was Clitus Blair Hosford (there is a good article on him on the internet). Clitus S. Blair b. March 28, 1856, in Mosinee. Married a Ella M b. 1853 in PA. Clitus S. was a druggist and for a while, the postmaster of Mosinee.

Hello, Wyn -- Here is the information I have on Elias HOVIS. I'm wondering if there are two different Eliases or if this Elias had two wives and two sets of children. I don't have listed any of the children you mentioned, but I do have nine listed for Elias and Eliza Ann, as follows: Elias HOVIS, died February 1873. Married (ca. 1825-26?) to Eliza Ann UNKNOWN born 1807; died 11 January 1847, Tippah Co, MS; buried at Ripley Cemetery, Ripley, Tippah Co, MS. Children of Elias and Eliza Ann: 1. Lawson Berry HOVIS m. (in NC) Laura S. "Laurie" PHYPHER (5 children) I have some further information on this family. 2. Annie E. HOVIS m. Unknown CAMPBELL, lived in Carroll Co, MS in 1873 3. Fannie HOVIS m. James NEAL, lived in Carroll Co, MS in 1873 when her dad died 4. Harriett HOVIS m. Newton MISKELLY 5. Nancy HOVIS m. Henry SAUNDERS 6. S.G. HOVIS (no further info) 7. Taylor HOVIS [NOTE: 1870 Tippah Co, MS Census: Taylor Hovis 22 M Wks. on Farm MS. 254 Fentin 27 M Wks. on Farm NC. Fanny 16 F MS. (These appear to be the grown children of Elias HOVIS and siblings of Lawson Berry HOVIS. I don't have "Fentin" which I imagine is Fenton -- but could be a cousin or other relative.)] 8. J.W.B. HOVIS b. ca. 1835, NC (based on 1870 census); d. May 1880. Shown in 1870 census as J.N.B. HOVIS; Left a widow, must have married a second time) Had 3 children I know of: Ann, L.B., and Pink. 9. Joseph E. HOVIS b/ 24 Nov 1844; d. 25 Dec 1906; bur. Ripley Cemetery, Ripley, Tippah Co, MS; m. Mary E. KING, d/o Pinkney G. KING & Mary UNKNOWN. Mary was b. 1845, Ripley, Tippah Co, MS; d. May 1931. They had six children: Walter J., Rufus, Ollie S., Nat Carter, Mary, Joseph H. I have some further info on this family. This is information I've gathered but I have not verified all of it If anyone notices anything they know to be in error, please let me know. My interest in the HOVIS family is that a daughter of Lawson Berry HOVIS & Laura PHYFER married one of my TIGERT cousins and a daughter of my gg grandfather David Porter TIGRET married a son of Lawson & Laura. (There are various spellings of the TIGERT name through the generations & sometimes in the same generation.) Hope this helps someone. Becky Smith

Thanks for your response! It appears to me that you have an Elias Langham that I do not have any data on. Gosh! The Elias Langhams I have researched are: Elias G Langham b.1795 spouse surname 'Padget' Elias L Langham b.1829 Fayette, TN spouse 1: Amanda Wood 2. Mary Felder, 3.Amanda Southwell Elias Nyde Langham b. 1847 spouse Ann Wright Elias Thomas Langham b.1777 VA spouse unknown to me (But he is father of George Simeon Langham who married Clarissa Nichols) Elias Thomas Langham b.1749 Essex Co., VA spouse Mary McDonald Now, does your line fit into these anywhere? Is your Elias also named Elias "L" ? It looks like my offer to help you has fallen on it's face! Because you mentioned George Simeon, and the subject was Elias L Langham, I was sure were were talking about the same people & I could compare data with you. Hopefully, we can yet. I just don't know where to start. :-) Always searching, C A Blair ----- Original Message ----- From: Wyn110@aol.com To: MSTIPPAH-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 1:42 AM Subject: Re: [MSTIPPAH-L] MSTIPPAH--Hovis In a message dated 2/7/05 7:05:11 PM Eastern Standard Time, pblakep0@flash.net writes: > I have quite a bit of information on this family.

In answer to your query, I submit the following; In the cemetery book, I found 7 Hovis, all in the Ripley Cemetery. The only one I saw that might relate to you is; as written; Hovis, Eliza Ann, wife of Elias, died Jan. 11, 1847 age 39. In the "Death Notices" book, there were 9 Hovis mentioned, here's one; Hovis, Elias (dec. Admin. Bond, Feb. 17, 1873) Daniel Hunt, Admin. I don't understand the entry, maybe someone can help. Joe Mercer

Hello and good Monday evening, Does anyone have a Tippah County cemetery book. I am searching for Elias Hovis, born about 1800 in NC and his wife Mary J. born about 1826. I have no date of death for either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Wyn
