Really Great Webpage. For anyone on the Adam Sturdivant line, if you are interested in the ancestors of his grandmother, Sarah Perry, contact me. I have parents and grandparents, as well as brothers and Sisters. I helped one relative get in the DAR through her father, Job Perry. Would like to share what I have with any one interested in the Perry line. Virginia

I tried this and it worked. Drop the name Sturdivant and the ending up slash from the URL. This should take you to the site. Then select the name Sturdivant. Hope this helps.

Maybe a clue here? The May Wilson McBee Collection, Vol Two, of Greenwood, MS, compiler, The Natchez Court Records, 1767-1805, Abstracts of Early Records (Ann Arbor, MI: Edwards Brothers, Inc, 1953) The Natchez District consisted of territory that now forms five Mississippi counties, Wilkinson, Adams, Jefferson, Clairborne and Warren, as well as Franklin and part of Amite, which were taken from Adams and Wilkinson in 1809. Being one of a number of Districts in the Province of West Florida, Natchez was ruled by the British from Pensacola, the Capital of the Province of West Florida. In the Province of Louisiana, of which the District became a part when taken by the Spanish in 1779, Natchez was apparently also governed directly from its Capital, New Orleans, for more than a year. Note-The records in 1782 refer to "District of Natchez, in the Province of West Florida" When the United States acquired the Natchez District from Spain, it was agreed that all legal land claims would be recognized. To get this confirmation written proofs of title had to be submitted to the United States Government for consideration. These abstracts of title are recorded in seven large volumes under the name of WRITTEN EVIDENCES and are deposited in the Dept of Interior, Land Division, National Archives, Washington, D.C.

First the date you give for Wilkinson Co. is not going to lead you, I think, to any American records, unless they were compiled much later for the U.S. Congress. Why? Because the date you give--1787 or so--was before Mississippi was part of the United States. The Louisiana Purchase, if I remember my history, occurred in 1803 or so. Possibly, you will find your Scott fellow had a British or Spanish land grant. If so, then you may want to examine what are called American State Papers. This will be a learning experience, however, and the sources may not be readily available to you. To cut the matter short, however, there is a probable short-cut. Long ago, a man named Walter Lowrie [note spelling] pulled together some of these land claims for the use of the US Congress. This publishing company in the past few decades have published some of his works: Easley, South Carolina : Southern Historical Press, 1986 Search for author Walter Lowrie in the Family History Library Catalog on _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) If you are near a large genealogical library, ask the librarian to help you find an INDEX [not the land claims themselves] called Grassroots of America by Philip McMullin. At the bottom is what I found by using google.com and searching for *grassroots of america* Since I cut and pasted the formatting may be difficult.

Virginia couldn't you have picked a "better" name to research...the census takers couldn't even spell the surname White correctly ...and we are looking for the name Beauchamp (smile)!!! According to the 1860 Wilkinson County Census--which I'm sure you have.. 1860 Wilkinson Co., MS Census Nettles, William, age 38, M, planter, $600/$700, MS --Sarah A, age 27, F, SC --James, age 12, M, MS --Henry, age 10, M, MS --Wm. M, age 8, M, MS --Frances M, age 6, F, MS --Clarissa E., age 4, MS So, hopefully we know a Clarissa E. existed in 1860 but did she exist in 1870. The Wilkinson County marriage records state S.O. Beauchamp married C.M. Nettles....not C.E. Nettles in 1868. Of course, names were hard to read with the swirley handwriting on the marriage records--so that is iffy. In 1870 Wilkinson Co. Clarissa E is not in the household with her parents--stands to reason she got married or died. 1870 East Baton Rouge Parish Census Beauchamp, S.O., 22, MW, farming, $6,000/$1500, La --Cecilia M., age 16 (not 14), FW, keeping house, BORN LOUISIANA--not Mississippi And, in the 1870 census, the name is Cecilia--not Clarissa.... which could be another census taker oops. This is what I found this evening on the internet..... The following copied from Ancestry, John H. Poole, Jr.:ripoole1@juno.com S. O. Beauchamp, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana S. O. Beauchamp, one of the most influential citizens of Irene, Baton Rouge parish, La., is a native of Louisiana born in 1848. He received a good education, lacking two years of graduation. He was married in 1868 to Miss C. M. Nettles, who died in 1885. The first line of work in which he engaged after leaving school was the drug business at The Plains, East Baton Rouge parish. He afterward engaged in the mercantile trade, and carries a stock of $3,000. In connection with this business he finds time to superintend the cultivation of a plantation of 600 acres. The land is the most choice and produces a fine cotton crop annually. Mr. Beauchamp was married a second time, in 1884, to Miss Irene Netterville. Two children were born to this union, and two were born of the first marriage--one son and three daughters-all of whom still survive. The family are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Beauchamp is a member of the Knights of Pythias. He is the present postmaster of Irene, and has made a most efficient officer. He is a man of the highest standing in the community, and in every way merits the esteem in which he is held. W. W. Beauchamp, the father of our subject, was born in Louisiana in 1812, and reared a family of five children, of whom S. O. Beauchamp is the oldest. He was captain of the militia before the war. His death occurred in 1856.

Thanks for the information - it was something I did not have. If the "P" in Alex Leak's name actually stands for "Pickard", then that blows my theory that the "P" stood for "Paddock". However, the land patent lists him as "Leek", which we know is a frequent mispelling. If the name is actually "Pickard", it still sounds like a family name to me, although (for now) I'm going to stick with my "Paddock". How did you get a date of death for Lucy Davis? She applied a second time for a pension in 1916. I do know I spent a small fortune trying to get a copy of her death certificate, but one could not be located. I covered the years 1916-1925 without any luck. > Thanks again for your help.

S. O. Beauchamp md. Clarissa E. Nettles, 17 Sept 1868, in Wilkinson Co. MS. Clarissa was the d/o William Thomas Nettles & Sarah Ann Owens. I have nothing on this family and am hoping someone on the list will know where they lived. I did find an S. O. Beauchamp in East Feliciana Parish, LA in 1870 and in East Baton Rouge Parish in 1900 and 1910 but it may not be the same family. Any help would be apprecated. Virginia
