My search has brought me to these two counties. Though new to the Issaquena/Washington Co. lists, I've been working on TN & NC counties for a while now. Please review the following and see if anyone is interested in Emedicus Murphey or Eugenia Bertinatti, wife of Council Bass. Emedicus died abt 1865, maybe in the war. He was on the 1850 Issaquena census and an 1840 Washington Co. jury list. He may have resided in Panola Co. at one time. His brother was William B. Murphey in Maury Co. TN.

The enemy took off everything, but one negro girl and a small amount of personal property worth about $2,000, and since 5 months have passed since he decd., she requests to be appointed the Adm. of his Estate.

Hello, I will be traveling to MS soon and was wondering if there is a cemetery book for Washington county? I have a Uncle James E.

List: this is a reply I recvd. from someone who has an interest in post office history. ...." Allen -- as best I can tell, you are correct. The one map that I have from 1883 shows Westburgh on what is now US 61. It appears to be just south of what is now Hollandale and just north of Percy even though neither one appears on the map. I haven't read the microfilm for Washington County in which the postmaster for each new post office gives the exact location of the office. I have only done Bolivar County so far. The map also indicates that Westburgh was on or very near Deer Creek. " ----------------------------- the info was sent to me by a Matt Dakin. Thanks Matt. AR./Greenville

I visited the library in Greenville today and found this information on the Westburgh post office. Apparently, it was indeed near Hollandale, MS. A post office was established at Westburgh, 1 February 1877 and was discontinued 21 September 1886. The first postmaster there was A.C. West.

Could the inquiry about a town know as "Westbug" possibly have been a mispronunciation of the location known as Rexburg, which is in Washington County, Mississippi (just north of Leland) Hope this helps.
