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.
