Can anyone tell me anything about this family? P. Y. SLOCUM = Janie E. Thompson 19 Sept 1850 Book B Page 36 Carroll, MS (This could be his first marriage??) Off. G. W. Robert, J. P. Pearson SLOCUM = D. A. Thompson 9 Jan 1856 Book c Page 52 Carroll, MS Off. Pecy L. Winglield, MBP (I have both of these documents) G. W. Slocum = C. J. Earl 8 Jan 1851 Book B Page 76 Carroll, Ms Off. G. W. Robert, J. P. (He could be the brother of P. Y. Slocum???) I found a very small town called Smiths in SE Carroll Co. It is on Hwy 51 South of Vaiden. Township 16N Range 10E Section 13 on my map of Carroll County. If he is in Smith's Mill in both 1860 & 1880 this is probably the town as it is known today. 1860 Census Smiths Mills, Carroll Co., Mississippi Precint 2 - August 16, 1860 - Page 6-Line19 39-39 SLOCUM, P.
