One of the many possibilities is, he died at someother location and was returned to Tishomingo county for burial. My thoughts are based on the following data in my family tree. There is a family story about a member of my family tree, who went to texas with her husband and hated the area and wanted to be buried back home in Jones County, MS. Her husband returned her body back to MS by horse and wagon. This would have been a 1200 mile + trip in the 1870's. supported data. She is recorded as living in Texas on the 1870 census. She buried in the family cemetery in Jones county in 1873. [no day or month] Her husband signed a deed to some land in Jones County, MS, he sold in July 1873. Her husband is buried in the family cemetery in Texas in 1878. There is no supported data on her death as to time and place. There are unsupported stories of her death like "she died of accidental drowning, while at home in MS" "she was killed by her husband" for various reasons like she refused to go back to Texas with him.
