Hello Rusty, I may not have any specific info. that will definitely help you but I do have a list of all the WOOD/WOODS in MS extracted from the 1840 & 1850 Census Index (Family TreeMaker CDs #316 & #317). Let me know if want me to it to you. In the 1840 Census there are two George WOODs listed in Jefferson Co. and a George W. WOODS listed in Marshall Co.. In the 1850 Census there are two George WOODs listed (1-Lauderdale Co.; 1-Panola Co.) and a G. A. V. WOODS in Yalobusha Co. Good luck in your search! Regards, Jesse Lee "Jack" WOOD,III Powell OH, (Formerly from TX) jwood1@mindspring.com P.S. BTW, I have been trying to find the parents/siblings of my great- grandfather, Rev./Dr. Jesse Lee (Leonidas?) WOOD who was b. 1839 in Duck Hill, Carroll (now Montgomery) Co., MS. He doesn't show up anywhere until age 21 yrs. in the 1860 Census in rural Dyer Co., TN. Nothing is known about how or when Jesse left MS and went to TN or about his parents/siblings other than he claimed to have had three brothers (names unknown) that fought for the CSA in the War although Jesse enlisted in the 7th Tennessee Cavalry Reg., US Army. Jesse's parents were reportedly also born in MS(?). His father's name may possibly have been Jesse also and his mother's name possibly Mary BRAZEAL(sp?). According to family hearsay and by appearance, Jesse is also reported to have been part Indian (probably Choctaw or Chickasaw from his mother) but Jesse was probably no more than 1/4. Thank you for any help you can give me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rusty Woods wrote: Hi, I am trying to find info on a George Washington Wood(s) that was possibly born around Choctaw or Winston County, MSaround early to mid 1800's. He was married to a "Marthie" Malone. Don't know how many children they had, but one was a George Carlisle and possibly a Jim (Male) and Mattie (Female). I have found a George Washington Wood in Winston Co., MS who was married to a Martha Malone, but so far their kids do not show a George Carlisle Wood(s). Does anyone have any idea's here? or know any info that may help? THanks, William R. Woods MIS Major wwoods@olemiss.edu (662) 281-0161
