If your Wages left Chester County, SC to go to Mississippi, then they are definitely related to ours. Ours did not leave SC. We have traced my husband's Wages line back to the following: James Craig Wages, 1948 James Arthur Wages , 1924 Julian W. Wages , 1896 Benjamin Jacob Wages, 1854 John Wages, 1819 Andrew Wages, 1790 William Wages, ( we think, no proof yet) abt. 1770 We think some of William or Andrew's children went west but are not sure which states they settled. Other children remained in SC. Some of the Wages that still live in Chester County, have married into the Roberts family, even today. I had heard that when the migration took place to Miss., Ark. and Texas, that many of the Wages, Roberts and Pannel families left SC. Again, thanks for sharing your information Anita Wages
