Surnames: Ireys, Sutton, Gibson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DMB.2ACI/272.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Iva, I found the name "Island 76" in this book, "Papers of the Washington County Historical Society, Memoirs of Henry Tillinghast IREYS, 1910-1915." There is a reference to my 2nd great-grandfather, James Morris SUTTON, and this island on pages 65-67 and page 243. In James' will, I make the name of the island to be "Mare's Head Island" and it was to remain in his estate. All my records are in a storage room in another town, so I cannot give you the exact information about the island. Mr. IREYS tells how the heirs of James' estate had filed a lawsuit against Arkansas and Mississippi, in order to lay claim to the island if it surfaced in the future. My sister has a project going and is checking with people in Greenville and Washington County about the location and history. I will let you know of any info received. If you can find the book by the Washington County Historical Society, you may find info on your GIBSON family, as the book is indexed. Mr. IREYS' memoirs are rather gossipy. Good luck in your research.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DMB.2ACI/272.1.1 Message Board Post: It has been some time since I worked on my Gibson genealogy. I am sure I was grasping at straws since I have so little on my Gibsons. My aunt who was born in 1902 and has already passed away, told me about my great grandfather growing up on the Gibson plantation. He was William H. Gibson ,married Belle Dyer in Tenn. Migrated to Fisher County Tx.by 1880. Both lines have been so elusive . I knew they must have passed through Mississippi at some point. This was probably why I was looking there. Do you know the general location of this island, or what communities it might have been near. Do you mean the reference you found said this island is now under water? Where did you find your information. I can't remember where I was reading about the Gibson plantaion being near this island. I appriciate your information. When I get back to this family maybe I will find my references. I have been working full time again and not much time for my genealogy, which I dearly love.

Surnames: Turnbull, Jones, Kennard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DMB.2ACI/283 Message Board Post: I am researching the above surnames in Greenville,MS Washington County. Lula Jones was married to Henry Kennard sometime in the late 1890's or 1900 - 1901. They had a daughter, Elise Lucile Kennard who was raised by her maternal grandparents. I am assuming their surname was Jones given her mother's maiden name. In 1916 Lucile (she used her middle name) married Henry Turnbull who was born in August of 1884. They had two sons, The first, Frank died in infancy. The second Henry Turnbull Jr., later moved to Chicago upon turning 18 and eventually changed his name to Sam Brown. Any information would be helpful. Lucile's mother (Lula) was later listed in the 1920 census, living in the household of her daugher as Lula Perkins widow. Thank you
