Littleberry Thompson was my ancestor. His daughter Sarah married Chas. N. Wood (my line). I know where the old homesite was located top of mile hill, and where the cemetery is located (or was located- Story here). His wife Patience was buried in the Thompson plantation cemetery, but there is another story as to how her headstone became located in Evergreen Cemetey in Woodville. There is also a story about "mile high hill" which also is confused at times with the high hill in Fort Adams on which the Fort was built. I do know the location of plantation called "Walnut Grove". It might be the one someone was searching for not long ago. All this information was given to me by a friend before I subscribed , so I do not know exactly "who, what or where" everyone is searching for in Wilkinson County, MS.. I live in Woodville, and can go back 5 & 6 generations on most all of my ancesterial lines here in Wilkinson Co.. I am going for sugery next week, but will be glad to try and help whenever I get back on my feet, if anyone wishes to get in touch with me. Other Surnames I am interested in are: Wood, Thompson, Jennings, Henderson, Lanehart, Chisholm, Haynes, Harson, Posey, Cage and others. Thanks, Honey

Surnames: Scott, Bolls, Mayberry, Stewart Honey, If you are familiar with the Ft. Adams area I hope you can help with my search. My William Scott's family made a Land Claim to the US Senate February 15, 1827 to the Committee on Public Land. The purpose was to "reclaim 200 acres of land, obtained from Don Estevan Mire, Gov of the Province of Louisiana and certified by Wm. Vauadam, deputy surveyor under the Spanish Government(Nov 23, 1787). That 200 acres was "situated in the District of Natchez on the east side of the south fork and about 17 miles from the Fort on the Homochitto River." I need a contact with any one who is familiar with this part of Wilkinson County and has work land records of the county in that timeframe. I have not contacted my local LDS library yet. William & Clara Scott's daughter, Mary Elizabeth Scott Bolls, was my gggg grandmother. She had three siblings, Thomas, William and Gabriel. These siblings made and received the above claim with the US Senate.
