I am researching my family lineage in Shelby and Panola Counties and could really use your help. My line includes Hoopers (Richard & Isabella, and their sons John Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, to name a few) as well as Cockrells, May and Parker. In particular, I am trying to gather information on the following: Thomas Parker (served in Major Truitts company and was the second husband of Nancy Richerson Smith) and Linnie May Ryesinger (I have also see her listed as Lillie). Any help is greatly appreciated!
