Speaking of Corinth, MS. My ancestor, Cain Lowrance, moved from McNairy County,TN to Burnsville, MS about 1850. He married Martha Louiza Patrick in Corinth a few years later. I have a copy of their marriage license, but I am looking for information about Cain and his uncle, Walter. Information such as land they owned, wills, etc. Can the person in Corinth who helped someone else, as listed in yesterdays Digest also help me with this info? If not, is there someone else who can help? Thanks, Jim _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Until age 18, Philip Littlefield was born and lived in Adamsville area near Bethlehem School. JAMES PHILIP LITTLEFIELD (6); NEIL BOLTON (5)LITTLEFIELD; JAMES LUTHER (4)LITTLEFIELD; LUTHER RICE (3)LITTLEFIELD; WILLIAM (2)LITTLEFIELD II; WILLIAM LITTLEFIELD (1) His obituary appeared in the Monroe, La. newspaper, News-Star on June 28, 2006. http://www.thenewsstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060628/OBITUARIES/606280342/1023/NEWS17 Article published Jun 28, 2006 PAID OBITUARY JAMES PHILIP LITTLEFIELD Cox Funeral Home in Oak Grove, La. James Philip Littlefield, 91, of Kilbourne, LA, died Saturday in Bastrop, Texas, after a lengthy illness. He was preceded in death by his soul mate and wife of more than 70 years, Inez Scott Littlefield on April 3, 2006. Services for Mr. Littlefield will be at 10 a.m. Thursday, in the Kilbourne United Methodist Church with the Revs. Linda Shepherd and Byron Putnam officiating. Burial will follow at the Kilbourne Cemetery under the direction of Cox Funeral Home in Oak Grove, LA. Visitation will be Wednesday from 5PM until 7 p.m. at Cox Funeral Home. A well-respected, retired West Carroll Parish businessman, Mr. Littlefield was born July 7, 1914 in Adamsville, TN, to his parents, the late Neil Bolton and Zella Lucretia Phillips Littlefield. At age 18, his family moved from western Tennessee to the northeastern Louisiana town of Kilbourne in hopes of escaping the throes of the Great Depression. Soon thereafter he met Inez Scott and they were married in 1935, a union that would last over seven decades. In the late 1930s, he purchased a service station along Highway 17 and remained in business for more than 35 years, operating under the Sinclair, City Service, Esso and Exxon brand names. After a May 1977 tornado devastated most of the businesses and churches in Kilbourne, his station remained standing and served as a command center for relief efforts. The great-great grandson of Revolutionary War soldier William Littlefield II, Mr. Littlefield was drafted into the U.S. Army during World War II. At age 27, he left his loving wife and three young children for basic training in California and service in the Pacific Theater. He served in the signal corps attached to the U.S. 8th Army and was awarded three battle stars for his service in the battles of Leyte, Luzon and New Guinea. He was joyfully reunited with his family on Christmas Eve 1945. Mr. Littlefield took special pride in that, through diligent attention to serving his customers, he was able to provide each of his three children with a college education. Even Mrs. Littlefield, in 1962, was able to complete a degree in elementary education. In addition to his business, Mr. Littlefield was a former Kilbourne town marshal and West Carroll Parish reserve deputy sheriff for more than two decades. He also served as a member of the first Kilbourne City Council. He was active in the Kilbourne United Methodist Church for decades, serving as chairman of the board, steward, lay leader and as teacher of the Adult Men's Sunday School class. He was a Master Mason of the Masonic Lodge, having received his 50-year membership pin. Mr. Littlefield also was a significant source/contributor to the recently published "A History of Early Kilbourne, Louisiana." He was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Leonard Troy Littlefield and Hubert Roy Littlefield of Adamsville, TN; Clarence Gerald Littlefield of Oak Grove, LA; and one sister, Mary Elizabeth Littlefield Holley. Survivors include his three children: daughter Mary Pat Littlefield Tharpe and husband Dwain, of Crowville, LA; son Dr. Robert Philip "Bud" Littlefield and wife Janie of Dallas, TX; and daughter Terry Jane Littlefield Conrad and husband Marvin of Bastrop, TX. Seven grandchildren: Steven and Connie Tharpe of San Antonio, TX; Michael and Michelle Tharpe of Kansas City, MO; Cherie and Mark Anyan of West Monroe, LA; Jamie Lynne and Danny Stroud of Fort Worth, TX; Mark and Jennifer Littlefield of Austin, TX; Ben and Chrystal Littlefield of Dallas, TX; and Kelly Shea and Steven Bender of Bastrop, TX. Nine great-grandchildren: Kirstie and Abby Anyan; Michaela Tharpe; Katie, John Philip and Taylor Stroud; Grace Littlefield; and Noah and Will Bender. He also is survived by a sister, Mamie Lorie Littlefield Organ of Shreveport, LA; and numerous nieces and nephews. Pallbearers will be Leonard Best, Michael Best, Bill Langston, Blaine Littlefield, John Dean Malone, John Stanley, John A. Tullos and Scottie Connell. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Just an idea, but my grandparents lived in Selmer in McNairy Co., but they wed in Corinth, MS, about 15-20 minutes from Selmer. I don't know if folks went to Corinth in the mid 1800's but it could be worth looking into it. --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.

I am trying to locate ANY information about Levi SMITH, his parents, his siblings. Levi married Lucinda in 1848 and they lived in the Gravel Hill area. In 1860 they bought 1/4 section of land in Polk County Arkansas. I think his father's name was James and I have a record which says Levi was born in 1828 in GA. I have no idea what Lucinda's maiden name was.

No, Our marriage records don't start until 1861. The courthouse burned and we lost of all them before 1861.

Can someone tell me if there are marriage records available for the years between 1830-1840 in McNairy County? I'm looking for a marriage between Matthew Anderson, born abt. 1800-1810 and "Hetty" or Hettie. Also does anyone know if Hetty is short for Hester? Or what would it be? She was born ca. 1820 in Tennessee. I found them in the 1840 McNairy census, with two girls under 5. They moved on to Johnson Co. Ark. by 1850 census. From there to Marion Co. by 1860 and then by 1870 to Boone Co. AR. Any help appreciated. Wilma

Hello, You may already have your question answered by now but just in case you don't the answer is Selmer, Tenn.

Hey gang, Just a short reminder to the vets and newbies at this site of my free research for the asking here at Andersonville. Of the 41000 Union soldiers on record from all states, 1618 are from Tennessee. Please email me directly at Frye@pstel.net with request so we dont tie up the county site.
