    3. Georgia Ann Elizabeth Waldrop , daughter of Joseph Ryan Waldrop and Nancy Heard was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, but was married in DeSoto County, Mississippi. Dose anyone in the Heard/Waldrop/Thornton/Scott and Walker know why Nancy and J. R.W. were in Tupelo? DeSoto County was where JRW's family lived. (Rev. Green Berry Waldrop). Dose anyone have any information where Nancy Heard and Joseph Ryan Waldrop was married? Is there anyone on the list who knows about Emily Isabella Smith, who was married to J. R. Waldrop in Tippah, Miss- issippi and Sarah Alexander who married Joseph R. Waldrop in, Caddo, Arkansas. We stand now with J.R.W. having ten children if not more. I am reaching out to anyone that may know of or related to Joseph Ryan Waldrop and his wives.(which includes my great grandmother, Sara Baxter Waldrop.) My great grandmother has now been bumped from third to fourth wife..and may not stay there to long. We have their marriage cert. This "Scalawag" either married or married them while he was married to another, was considered an impostor, and running from a duel, which was a rightful shooting, but since dueling was outlawed in the early 1850s, he left the County, rather than face the Law. Most of my information in DeSoto County, Missisippi was researsched by Robert Joyner. He sent me tons of information on the Waldrop/Heard/Scott/Thornton families. Robert Joyner found quite abit of information in the DeSoto/Tate County, Journal , entered by Jimmy Walker. Joseph Ryan Waldrop and Nancy Heard Georgia Ann Waldrop (Thornton) Jimmy Ann Thornton (Scott) Lula Scott (Walker) Jimmy Walker Joseph Ryan Waldrop was Jimmy Walker's great great grandpapa. This is the way I read it......and, as always I stand to be corrected , if you find me wrong. We Waldrop cousins are looking for any documents, letters and oral stories we can find to get closer to our Joseph Ryan Waldrop. Jimmy has information and pictures. I am grateful for the work that Jimmy Walker has done for the Waldrop family so we can get one step closer to J.R.W. 1.Faye, 2. Ann, 3. Carol 4. Norma, 5. Jimmy, 6.
