There is a fellow at the MS State Archives who has recently written a book on the men from Mississippi who were in the Mexican War. All the muster roles will be included and he has many pics, bios etc. I am not sure of his name but he was an employee who worked at the State Archives. Does anyone else know of this gentleman?

Hello All: Thought this site might be of interest to those of you that are searching for ancesters that served in the MAW. <A HREF="http://www.dmwv.org/mwvets/vgindex.htm">http://www.dmwv.org/mwvets/vgindex.htm</A> Bev Thomas

Bev, Thank you so much for the link to MAW site. Unfortunately none of the Mississippians are listed yet on the site. I will try the LDS History Center. I know there is a CD with these rosters and was hoping someone in Wilkinson Cty might have one and be able to do a look up for me. Everyone on this list are so helpful. Again, thank you.

If anyone has access to muster rolls of persons that served in this war I desperately need a lookup. I am trying to find Henry Pascoe. I have found his brother Charles & family but Henry is elusive. I know he married in Wilkinson Cty to a Margaret Algoe but I have nothing else. If anyone can help please contact me.

I found information on a Richard Newton who served in the War of 1812 as a Private. Under company is reads: 10 and 20 Cons. Reg't., La. Mil. I have a NARA nearby. When I can, I will see if I can pull his record, if it's there. I found in the tax records of 1797 a Richard Newton in Greene co., GA, Harper District. Who is the Richard Newton in land records in LA? Whose son is he?

I get a little jittery when the "romance" creeps in-I can tell you in the records I have seen, his name is "Richard Nuton." These have been the various list of those who served in that war. As for Willis Newton, there seems to be an abundance of Newtons with this given name. One thing of interest which may be unavailable because of it's source. A dear lady in the genealogy section of our local Library acquired a copy of the New Orleans City Directory of 1855. Apparently, growers of both sugar and cotton were solicited and Willis and Permelia are in this list as cotton growers with a location of "Newtonia." Willis never lived outside of West Feliciana, so far as I have been able to tell, thus my assumption that this is where "Newtonia" was located. Since I am doing this from memory, I don't remember the year, but in Wilkinson Co., there is a usfruct transfer of their property made by William H. Tabor in which their children are named. While I have this opportunity, I might as well add a couple of my simmering conumdrums. Permelia and Wm. H. married in 1811 and it is a puzzle to me that their children were born so much later. Second, I am having difficulty accepting that Permelia is the daughter of Richard and Susannah, given her age and the ages of the three children named after the parents death. (My hard headed Irish, I guess.) If either of you can add anything toward these two issues, it would be sooo welcome. I am looking forward to working and sharing with both of you. ==== MSWILKIN Mailing List ==== How to Unsubscribe from the digest: To: [email protected] Subject: unsubscribe Message: unsubcribe

This is all so interesting. With so many children it is easy to mix and match in genealogy, isn't it?? This is the only info I have at my fingertips right now but Permelia Newton Tabor was born in 1797, her nearest sibling was born in 1803. However, this sister's name was Betsy and down the line there is also an Elizabeth Newton, born in 1809, so Betsy may have died. Willis was born in 1806 and Celia (or Sela) in 1811. Permelia was the only one born in Greene County..the others were born in West Feliciana Parish,La. Newtonia (or Whitestown) is between Woodville and Centreville. in Ms...if this is the same town. My Comfort ancestor lived there. Willis Newton married Lucretia Phares in 1827 and they had: John Newton (1834), Elizabeth Newton (1836), Thomas Newton (1836(?)),Permelia Bell Newton, (1838), Mary C. Newton (1838), and (yet another) Willis Newton (1840). Now for the puzzler to me: Since Willam H. and Permelia were indeed married in 1811 she would have been only 14. It was not uncommon for people back then to live in one place and have their cotton or sugar cane property somewhere else. I really had difficulty beginning this family because there were also several William Tabors in the region. Thanks to the internet and LDS and those who share so readily, I found "mine". Let's keep the faith...more will suface when we least expect it.

I will attempt to dig into this and see how it looks to me. I know that a fresh pair of eyes can sometimes catch what we ourselves often overlook. I will start digging and will stay in touch.

Hi all, I am on a number of the other Mississippi lists - but recently came into possession of one of the Woodville Republican books - which "sort of" solved a mystery or two - but created many more! (I am in Wyoming - so can't come there and do research!) First - found this - which finally gave a wife's first name for Zacheus Davis: The Woodville Republican Mississippi's Oldest Existing Newspaper Volume 1: December 18, 1823 - December 17, 1839 compiled by O'Levia Neil Wilson Wiese September 11, 1826 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SARAH DAVIS, adm'x., of ZACHEUS DAVIS's estate ____________________________________________________ Then a it later this - which tells me that Sarah Davis - is actually Sarah Edwards: The Woodville Republican Mississippi's Oldest Existing Newspaper Volume 1: December 18, 1823 - December 17, 1839 compiled by O'Levia Neil Wilson Wiese June 2, 1827 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Died June 1, Miss JEMIMA EDWARDS, and on the 4th, her sister, Mrs. SARAH DAVIS, having devised effects to the amount of more than a thousand dollars to the children of her sister, ELIZABETH DUNN, living somewhere in the state of Mississippi. (This notice was requested by THOMAS EDWARDS of Columbia City, Ga., April 10, 1827) (now the date of the "request" by Thomas Edwards seems to be "off" - I can interprit it two ways - he request a copy - but how could he BEFORE they died - or requested they run this - but again - how could he BEFORE they died?????) Sarah Edwards family was easy to find - and I suspect the Jesse Edwards in the Wilkinson/Amite area is her brother listed below: Bible of Benjamin & Mary Edwards The Benjamin Edwards Bible is very small, about 3" x 6". It was printed in 1759, in Cambridge, England, by Joseph Bentham at "His Majesty's Special Command". Handwriting used for family data was distinguished, even elegant. Entries were obviously made at time of births, for old fashioned forms of letters were used, as f for the double s, as in Jesse. Only births were recorded. The births of five of the seven children of "Benjamin and Mary his wife" were recorded in the Bible. Micajah Edwards son of Benjamin Edwards an Mary his wife was born October the 8th day 1762. Salle Edwards daughter of Benjamin Edwards an Mary his wife was born May the 12th day 1764. (Sarah) Jesse Edwards son of Benjamin Edwards an Mary his wife was born March the 8th day 1766. Elizabeth Edwards daughter of Benjamin Edwards an Mary his wife was born November the 11th day 1767. Jemima Edwards daughter of Benjamin Edwards an Mary his wife was born January the 21st day 1770. ____________________________________________ What I am wanting to know: Who is the Dunn that Elizabeth Edwards married? I found a listing for a Sylvester Dunn - but other researchers have a different maiden name for her. Sylvester was in Amite. (could the other researchers be wrong - none of them have a family for Elizabeth - so suspect that it may not be rock solid) Who is the Jesse Edwards in Wilkinson and Amite Counties? And after Sarah's death - did he take her kids to raise? (I haven't found Dunn, Davis or Edwards household in 1830 with an increase to account for the Davis orphans) Does anyone connect to Zacheus Davis and Sarah Edwards - and who is Zacheus' father?????? Everything is pointing to Zacheus being born in Georgie - like where the Edwards' came from - but not finding any bunch in Georgia that claim him. The descendants have first names of Jenkins, Jeremiah, Jesse, Champion, Gilbert & Elbert - which appear in a line in Georgia - but can't find any ties to them - and suspect that he may tie some other Davis in the Wilkinson area. Here's what I do know about Zacheus Davis. b. probably between 1760-1794 and probably in Georgia. Probate info from Louisiana: Probate #25, Book A-2, Page 21 dated March 12, 1847--Zachius Davis's sons, John M., Jesse E. and Jeremiah S. are selling two slaves which they had inherited from the estate of their father late of Pike County, State of Mississippi; deceased to Jenkin E. Davis a resident of St. Tammany Parish, LA. It is dated February 15, 1847. It states that John M. Davis is from Washington Parish and Jesse E. and Jeremiah S. Davis are from St. Tammany Parish. Probate #101, Book A-2, Page 217 dated June 27, 1848--Jenkins Edward Davis, unmarried, is selling a slave to Jeremiah Sampson Davis. Jenkins Edward Davis states that it is the same slave which he had inherited from his father, Zaccheus Davis's estate. It is the same slave which his brothers John M., Jesse E. and Jeremiah S. had sold to him in 1847. ______________________________________________ Shown on the 1820 Pike County Mississippi Census Zach Davis Free white males under 10 1 (Jenkins) Free white males 26-45 1 (Zaccheus) Free white females 17- 26 1 [Sarah] # of persons engaged in agriculture 1 ____________________________ >From "Source Records from Pike County, MS 1798-1910" 13 Regiment (Nixon's ) of MS Militia: DAVIS, Zacheus 1820 Census of MS Zac Davis: 100010 - 00100-1-0 [1 male 0-10 & 1 male 26-40 - 1 female 16-26; 1 engaged in agriculture] 1825 Tax List Pike Count, MS Zacheus Davis; 160 [acres] Bo.

Does anyone know how far back the probate records go in Wilkinson County? (I know that Pike burned - so had given up hope - til the info in the Woodville Republican turned up) Does anyone on here - have a connection to Davis, Dunn or Edwards?

Sylvester Dunn Jr., son of Sylvester Dunn Sr. and Sarah Jannet (Barr) Montgomery, is my GGG Grandfather. He was born 3 Oct 1775, South Carolina and died June 1852 in Amite Co., MS. His spouse was Elizabeth Lowry, daughter of Robert Lowry and Penelope (surname unknown), born 1775 in South Carolina and died 1835 in MS. Sylvester Dunn and Elizabeth Lowry were married on 5 June 1797 in South Carolina. This line is a substantiated and proven one. However, there were other Dunns who came into Amite Co. from South Carolina who may have married an Elizabeth Edwards. Sylvester's brother, Henry, married an Elizabeth Scott. I do not know whether she was a widow or if Scott was her birth name. Good luck in your research! Regards, Barbara Barbara Dunn Chandler Bell Canyon, CA

Barb, Several years ago I corresponded with James Stuart whose aunt had done extensive research on Richard Newton of Greene County, Ga.. James was descended from Sophia Abigail Tabor. I have the website in my files for the lineage chart (Newton) but right now WHERE IT IS is a mystery which I shall tackle after Christmas and get back to you. This is exciting as there were many children. I do know that Willis Newton also lived in East Feliciana, La. when Permelia and William did. I do not know when or where Richard Newton died.

This is exciting as there were many children. I do know that Willis Newton also lived in East Feliciana, La. when Permelia and William did. I do not know when or where Richard Newton died.

Oh bless you for responding! In the 1860 census of Wilkinson county there is listed with Christian and family, a Pamelia Tabor aged 63 b. GA - I take it she is Elizabeth's mother? I had thought that she probably was a relative to Elizabeth, listed as Eliza in the 1860 census, and I documented her in my notes and have a copy of the census. This is so cool! I have that the oldest son, Joseph D. was born in LA, so what you mentioned about LA makes sense to me with what I have already discovered. When was your Margaret born? What documentation is there for Elizabeth's middle name? The 1860 census lists her as Eliza A. giving me the impression that her middle was probably Ann, but that's just a guess on my part because it's commonplace "Elizabeth Ann". This is just....you never get info on the wife's lines! It's almost always on the husband! Thanks so much! This makes us cousins, IF I can prove a connection back in the line. I have it on the authority of a cousin who is in his eighties that this is my father's family. I just have to locate the documentation between two men and that cinches it. Blanche, you are an angel! We shall probably talk again. I will be digging for documents to prove the lines. I love the paper trail.

In Wilkinson Co. on 25 March 1829, Jacob Chambers, John Connell, and Robert White posted a bond of $5,000 for Jacob Chambers to be the executor of the estate of Robert White, deceased. All of these names were found in the 1800 census of Kershaw Co, SC. Other names from 1800 Kershaw Co, SC, found in early Wilkinson Co, some of them associated with one another or with those named above, were: William Newell, Jacob Bethany, Joseph Wright, William Nettles, Edward Collins, John White, and Samuel Ross. It is apparent that families from 1800 Kershaw Co, SC, had associations in Wilkinson Co, MS, after moving there. There were connections by marriage between the Chambers and Wright families in MS. Does anyone know of relationships between other families listed above? Best regards, Ron Bullock

We are researching Daniel Tousinau and his family. Daniel married Mary Ann Moore widow of Calvin Moore on 19 Oct 1852. She died in 1854. After her death he married Elizabeth Jackson McCartney widow of Lewis McCartney. In the probate records for Mary Anne Moore Tousinau is states that she had 3 daughters by her husband Calivn Moore. Their names were H Catherine Moore, Sarah E Moore and Mary A Moore. It also gives Robert and Elizabeth Simms as guardians of the children. Could these be relatives? Daniel and Mary Ann had no children that I can find. We descend from his marriage to Elizabeth through their son William Daniel Tousinau. We would like to find out what happened to the children and what Mary Ann Moore Tousinau's maiden name was. We know that Daniel was married while still living in LA., as his land patent application shows that he was a man with wife and child. We have not been able to find a death record for the wife or the child in Point Coupee Parish where his land was or West Feliciana Parish where we feel he was married. He shows up in Wilkinson Co on the 1850 census. We think his wife in LA was named Margaret Fauner. Also we are looking for any documentation that shows that his first name was William. Every thing we have found in court records in LA and MS show him as Daniel. There is no mention of his name being William Daniel. We are also still searching for information on the parents of Sarah Cornelia Owens who married William Daniel Tousinau, son of Daniel and Elizabeth Tousinau. Her father was James Jackson Owens and according to her death certificate her mother was Nancy Calcote. We have found her listed as Emma Sarah, but have not been able to find any other documentation other than Sarah Cornelia Owens Tousinau's death certificate for the first name of her mother. I am trying to find out if John Calcote and Franky Johnson were the parents of Nancy/Emma Sarah Calcote (whatever her first name really was). Any push in the right direction to document her first name and her parents would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Billy Tousinau

Thank you, Virginia. You are a peach. I was hoping someone with information about those families would respond. I have access to the records, but I didn't happen to write them down. I have them now, though! (Thanks!) Maybe I can ask Sidney when I call him.
