HI: I'm researching the murder of my great-great-grandfather, Charles Brown. He was lynched in September 1879 near Woodville, Mississippi. I have documented his death in 3 ways: U.S. Mortality Census for 1880; his wife was a widow according to the 1880 Census; and a newspaper article reporting the lynching. He was building a house for Wilbert Phares, son of a renowned doctor in Woodville, David Lewis Phares. He arrived at the Phares house and started arguing with Wilbert's wife Mary and reportedly threatened her with a hatchet. Wilbert and a worker, Louis Swift, subdued him and held him at the house for the sheriff. Neighbors came to the house that night, took him away and hanged him. I am exploring the circumstances of Charles' death, and I want to find out as much as I can about his life. I just returned from a research trip to MS this week, but as I expected I couldn't find out much at the state archives. My question to the list is whether I'm on the right track and are checking as many sources of information available. Should I check circuit court records in Wilkinson Co., MS? I have the names of the mayor and sheriff in Sept. 1879. I'd also like to find out the newspaper's sources for its article (they only said "this is what we were able to find out." What records should I check in East Feliciana Parish, where he lived? The local paper reprinted the MS article. I am also thinking of checking LA deeds (because he was a carpenter and owned $100 in property according to the 1870 Census), churches that may have existed at the time, and would like to find out where he is buried. I do understand that the lynching of a black man in 1879 in MS is very likely not to be prosecuted, but I still am pressing on and researching anyway. (I was told that I wouldn't be able to document his death, and I did.) Thanks for all help. Kberry

Looks like you've pretty much covered the subject.

Mrs. Hannah PHELPS, wife of Dr. David PHELPS of Connecticut, is buried in Old Burial Ground, Groton, MA. Part of the inscription on her tomb: she died 1833 age 72. Her father Mr. Ithamar ANDREWS died in West Florida, now the State of Mississippi, at age 84, 1811. In the same place, AD 1812, her mother Mrs. Hannah ANDEWS died at age 72. Mrs. PHELPS daughter (still from the tombstone inscription) Rossalixde PHELPS died at AGE 26 and is buried "in that state". Any information concerning this family will be gratefully received.

When the weather turns a tad cooler in the fall, we plan to visit Woodville for several days hunting for my BAUM. MILLER and ANDREWS ancestors. I understand that Woodville has a lovely Bed and Breakfast but, because of a pulmonary problem, my husband has to carry some equipment with him so we would like to know the location of the nearest motel. Any suggestions? Floreda

You could stay at the Best Western St. Francis by the Lake in St. Francisville which is 30 mins south of Woodville.

Can anyone identify the female Catherine Miller?

And I do appreciate the information. There are so many Perrys around and not all are connected. Have you ever heard of a Jemima Perry b. in LA. Someone use to write me wanting to know if she was part of my Perrys but I had never seen her mentioned. I believe she was born in the mid 1800s before children were included in the census. She was either married, or lived, in Amite co. Ms. Sorry I don't remember all the details but thought she might be part of your Perrys.

Miller 9 Feb 1860 not > sure this is his marriage." > Hope this answers what you were wondering about. > Sandra > >
