Dear Louis, I am trying to get information on the Dawkins, the Gilletts, the Bouchillons, and the Whites. My great-grandmother Warner was Susan Dawkins (Dane Dawkins family of Betheden), who married Levi Anderson Warner. Their son, my grandfather, was Willie Allen Warner. My grandmother Warner was Leona Diana Gillett, and her mother was Celia Bouchillon. My great-grandmother Jeffries was Dixie Anna White, who married John Henry Jeffries. I will appreciate any help in finding information on these families. John McCully 1214 Wilson Avenue Ames, Iowa 50010 515-232-6755 [email protected]

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Crosby, Christian Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GMB.2ACI/766 Message Board Post: Looking for my ggg grand parents, William Crosby, they were living in Winston County, Mississippi in 1840. I need some one to check the 1840 census in Winston County, Mississippi and see if William Crosby is listed and how many in the home. Thank you, Pamela

Would any one know the history of the Catholic Church in Winston County. I know from the 1880 census there was a priest there living in the home of W. B. Hudson. His name was J.E. Vanhovorer white 30 born France. Margaret

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Eaves, Haggard, Carr Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GMB.2ACI/765 Message Board Post: I'm looking for parents of Anna Eaves, wife of Leon Lorenzo Haggard of Winston Co. I have thought her to be a sister to Joel Elisha, John M., James, Emma, Lilian, and Ella. But I don't see her included in the family trees that include these people. Any information apreciated.

Van Of the three surnames you mentioned one was Carr. I have been searching for information on any Carrs from Winston Co MS about 1860. Family records indicate only the names Nancy Carr b. 1860 MS, d. 1892. Calvin Carr d. 1878 and Mary Jane Carr d. 1891. The 1880 Tarrant TX census shows a Nancy living with the family of James Golden or Holden Hendricks Elizabeth (Garner). A cousin who knew members of this family only remembers that the name of Carr was important with the Henrick family. Do you have any info on these people or ideas who they might have been? Thanks Richard

November 6, 1903 Mr. and Mrs. Dancy have moved into their new home, the McGraw residence one mile east of town. Mr. Dancy is the Engineer on the G. & C. and spent a day or two here this week. Dr. H. H. Davis was down from Winona this week on a visit to relatives and paid our office a pleasant call. Mrs. Dr. Hooker of Hamburg, Ark., visited in our town this week, the guest of Mrs. J. W. Montgomery. In this issue we publish a franchise granted by the town for a telephone exchange, which is being organized by home people. There are two features about this enterprise which should appeal to each and every citizen of the county. One is that it is very much needed, and the other is that home people are getting it up. We hope that nothing will impede the progress of the Company to establish it at an early date. Those good patrons paying us calls this week were: J. M. Ivey, R. J. Atkinson, J. H. Hathorn, R. N. Crumpton, J. W. Hopkins, B. K. R. Dempsey, A. H. Fulton, O. L. Crow, J. D. Jolly, J. M. Tucker, J. A. McGe, J. W. Williams, J. T. Thomas, J. M. Fulton, B. F. Ray, A. B. Ray, Dr. T. F. Kilpatrick, J. H. Stokes, Wil H. Thomas and J. R. Furgerson. We are glad to add S. J. Hopkins to our list of new readers. Hugh is now in South Carolina in the service of Uncle Sam. We regret to note the death of Mrs. Zander Marsh, who died at her home four miles east of town last Tuesday, October 29, 1903. She leaves a young husband and children to whom we extend sympathy.

H is now living in Facoma, Washington, where he has been for several years and where we are glad to know has been very successful.
