I notice on the McNairy Co. site there are two places to post and read Queries. One is at the Search This Site portion, and the other is at the bottom of the page a Gen Connect Site both appear to be currently in use. Should I continue to post on both board for the same Co., at the same site? I'm a little confused, but thats not nothing new. Mary, You may wish to add to the community names Cotton Ridge According to Deed Book H, Page 307 " For cash in hand at Cotton Ridge in McNairy County, Aug 2 1860, J.P. Blakely sold to J.P.Peeples: a two year old bay filly & two head of cattle" ( per Nancy Kennedy ) In a letter written by Thomas Benton Blakley dated Jan10,1931 he states " The first school I ever attended was the summer of 1865. the teachers name was John ?antiberry, a cripple caused by infantile paralysis. I did not know then what the cause but I know now. Well I continued to attend the COTTON RIDGE SCHOOL everysummer till I was 9 years old" I think It was around the Finger Area but not certain. Any one have any ideas. Thank's M.Peeples
