Hi, I'm trying to determine when a Reed family I'm researching left Pontotoc County. They were in the 1910 Pontotoc County census, but not in 1920. Does anyone on the list know whether there are any tax lists for Pontotoc County for the period 1910-1920? Or any other records that might help determine when a family was (or wasn't) in the county between 1910 and 1920? This family lived in the Stonewall area. Thanks. Mike Landwehr
