Thank you so much. I was raised in Jackson MS and have been in Denver, CO for 25 years. My fathers line comes from Laurel MS, via Meridian MS, via Sumter AL, via Mecklenberg VA, probably via England, still have a dot to connect first. My maiden name is Poythress. I am coming to MS in July for a family reunion. The heat and humidity are going to KILL me, but I am looking forward to my visit. The South is so beautiful. I miss the gorgeous flowers and of coarse the food. Look out Krystal Hamburgar's and boiled peanuts, here I come. Have you browsed the archives at [email protected] Everything they have found on the Poythress' is posted in the archives, and if you see that you have additional Poythress information that is not in the archives, we would all be thankful, if you would post it on our website. Sincerely, Elaine
