ATT: <A HREF="mailto:Bjmmlm@aol.com">Bjmmlm@aol.com</A> You are more than welcome. You never know when the one you have been researching for years might turn up in another's front yard. I researched my great grandpapa Joseph Ryan Waldrop death for years and years , then one night at our local Library I open a book in Library . Muscogee County Death 1832-1932 and looked for the name Waldrop , just to see if there had been Waldrops in my area, since my Waldrops settled in Mississippi and Alabama, sure enough, there was my great grandpapa's obit. Since my great grandpapa was ambushed and killed his obit was in the Mobile Register Newspaper and my Muscogee County had picked up the obit since he was State Rep. of Escatawpa, Alabama, Washington County. His death was ruled as a radical murder. He was ambushed shot in the chest with a shotgun at 12 yards. I didn't have the date to research the Mobile Register Newspaper, so I accidentally ran across the obit August 13, 1870 in my own home town Library in Columbus, Georgia. I also found out where one on his (JRW) brothers was born in the County next to mine, his brother was born outside of my back door in Harris County, Georgia. The Waldrop traveled thru Georgia in my surrounding Counties areas 1828 thru the early to mid 1830s. My point, never leave a book unopen.Our ancestors can show up anywhere.

I suspect this quote came from one of those county history books, which are notoriously inaccurate--often based on faulty memories and myths. The reporter may even have mixed up families. The Waldrops were not Dutch or Deutsch (German) and as far as I know, and, yes, they were Baptists. I know of no other Waldrops in that area at that time. If there were others, they must not have been there very long.

No, but it sounds interesting...will you let me know if you find out? Best Wishes Karen jkscott2000@aol.com

I have found reference to the following: "In 1853, a group of Dutch people came to Smith Co MS from South Carolina, making their first settlement at the present site of Trenton. They were members of the Luthern Church, and brought with them a young preacher. Rev. Waldrop, who was unmarried." Does anyone have any idea who this Rev. Waldrop was?
