Hello Marci, Do you have any idea what Ransom�s parents names were? There is quite a list of Boswells in the cemetery book. I checked several but didn�t find any with a death date that far back. Listed at Liberty Cemetery are the following Boswells. They are not the only Boswells at Liberty, but they are grouped together in this order. Boswell, Johnie Lou 8 Mar 1875 � 11 Jul 1959 Boswell, R. J. 7 Jun 1841 � 23 Mar 1929 Boswell, Mary Elizabeth 12 Jan 1844 � 1 May 1926 Boswell, Mary d/o R.J. & M.E. 16 Jan � 16 Jul 1873 Boswell, Infant d/o R.J. & M.E. 15 Jul 1887 � 16 Jul 1887 Boswell, Joseph J. s/o R.J. & M.E. 5 Jan 1877 � 9 Jan 1877 Boswell, Infant d/o R.J. & M.E. b & d 15 Jan 1876 You may already have this information, but just in case� In the Marriage Records of Winston Co vol. I 1834-1880 Bridegroom Boswell, Ransom Bride Higgason, Miss Elizabeth Date of Marriage 13 Apr 1845 Bondsman R. M. Fox Performed by Jo Bell Book & Page 2-115 Have a good evening.

Tim, Thanks for the marriage info on Ransom and Elizabeth! I had the date, but not the other info! Ransom's parents were James Madison Boswell, Sr. and Sena Mullins. I'm not sure who R.J. Boswell is...I don't have him listed yet, but I'm sure he'll somehow fit into the puzzle. I'm thinking that my Boswells are probably in Boswell Cemetery, in Louisville. Thanks again!

I checked the Boswell Cemetery first and the earliest burial listed was Florence Speakes 2 Oct 1874. (Her mother was a Boswell.) There is a marker listed as �Boswell family one marker for six unmarked graves� No dates. The only James M. Boswell died 18 Apr 1897 � aged 68 yrs 5 mos 2 days ME (That would put his date of birth as 16 Dec 1828) ((Maybe Jr?)) There are two James Bs but they don�t fit your time frame. There are no other J's or M's. There are no Sena�s listed. Just in case I checked Neshoba & Choctaw Counties. They wern't there. --- Marci <[email protected]> wrote: > Tim, > > Thanks for the marriage info on Ransom and > Elizabeth!
