Marriage Record

MaryGordonSmith — 2013-04-24 22:36:19Z

My father told me many years ago that my grandpa (my Moms dad) took them to Lucedale MS to get married 10 Dec 1944. My Mom passed away 1987 in Mobile AL while I was living in CA. Years later when some of my siblings and I were going thru some of her papers (my brother still in her house) we found many papers but to this day no one knows where the marriage certificate is. Is there a possibility that I could get a copy of this? Not sure what could have happened to the original but if her father had it Mom would have when he passed away ten years later...sure hope I can find it..
Thanks to anyone for anything..

Re: Jansan family

GeorgiyH — 2013-04-10 19:33:01Z

Hi Lanie,
George Jansan was my great grandfather. Through slaegtogdata.dk I have found the following information which is likely to be the Jansans we are after, they lived near Esbjerg which is where my grandmother always said they were from. In the 1890 census we have father: Jens Christian Jensen of Hammelev, Haderslev age 37. Mother: Mette Marie of Jernvedlund, Ribe, age 34, children: Jes Christen age 7, Ellen Marie age 6 and Georg Frederik age 3. The names seem to fit, and the timing is similar. Maybe this is them!

I am a resident of Bexley and am familiar with the old post office and store. I was wondering if the shelves you have are from the original post office before it burned? I was also interested in knowing if you have any pictures of the Greene County Lumber Company Hotel?

Hi, I understand this is a church that no longer exists. It was located on the far western part of the county, almost on Stone County. Is there anyone that has any info about this church? I can't find anything online.

Miss Bilbo - piano teacher

Bellesou — 2012-07-25 20:17:37Z

i am working on memory book for my mother's 80th birthday. she lived in Lucedale around 1945 and took piano lessons from a Miss Bilbo in Agricola. (Hope I don't have it backwards). Does this sound familiar to anyone and could anyone provide any information.

Also my grandfather was the pastor at Agricola Baptist Church around that time and i would be interested in any information about him, Glenwood L. Taylor.

need to locate an obituary for my great grandmother who died 1 Mar 1943 in Leakesville and was buried, according to the death certificate in Lucedale. Can anyone assist me. Her name was Mary Elizabeth Young Lyle and I believe she lived with her daughter and son-in-law at the time (Tina or Tiny and Jessie Campbell).

County Records

frenchgirl999 — 2010-09-29 01:06:51Z

I was there recently doing some research on land records and discovered the records only go back so far in the county. I'm trying to find old records for the Bexley area. How far back do the records go for this town and are they all in George county or are records prior to 1901 in Jackson County for this area?

Elizabeth Jones Murder 1935

kalypso56 — 2010-07-08 17:54:56Z

Elizabeth (Lizzie) H. Jones, maiden name Gibson, was murdered in Gulfport, Mississippi on Feb. 25, 1935, wounded twice in the chest with a .32 cal firearm. The circumstances are unknown to me except the family story that her husband's girlfriend shot and killed her. Her husband's name was Albert H. Jones. If possible, I would like to obtain a copy of her obituary as well as a newspaper account of the incident. She is buried in Lucedale, Mississippi in Macedonia Cemetery, near her Gibson relatives. Any suggestions on where to search for such information is greatly appreciated. She was the great-grandmother of my children. Their grandma was only 7 years old when her mother was killed. Thank you so much, Cathey Cline

This is an ideal event to attend if you have roots in George, Greene, or Jackson Counties in MS.

Re: Dickerson Sawmill in Lucedale, Rocky Creek area

JanetWaltersEubanks — 2009-10-04 10:27:15Z

Well, it's 3 years later, but if you have not yet found William and Abigail Welford in the 1880 Census, I can understand. I finally found them in 1870 in Greene Co., MS, listed as Wm. and Abagal Wilford; in 1860 as William and Abbigil Willeford; in 1850 as Wm. & Abigail Welford; and in 1840 as Wm. Wilford. All the sources around here have him dying before 1880; the one I have listed is March 6, 1881, but I don't have a written source for that.

I do have, however, the obit for Abigail Dickerson Welford, and I'd be glad to send you a copy by e-mail if you're still interested.

Re: Obit - MARGARET HARLESS

BMarshall1592 — 2009-09-25 01:18:53Z

I am sorry that was a TYPO ERROR. I used to copy all the obituaries from the George County Times for the George County Library before the identy law doesn't allow us to type living relatives any more. They can appear in the paper, but I can't transcribe them to the web site any more. The obituary was typed from the George County Times and I made a mistake on the Hwy. 613. I knew your grandmother she was a dear friend and next door neighbor to me. She was a good lady. I live next door to her daughter and have lived there for over 30 years.

Sorry again for the typing error.

Re: Obit - JAMES LOYD PEACOCK

I am sorry that I can't help you. I was once a volunteer with the George County MS Library and posted the Obituaries that appeared in our local paper. I do know that Shirley Moss did live in Lucedale and probably still does. That would be his sister. Perhaps you could contact her. She is still listed in the phone book 601-947-1197 or 206 Cedar Ridge Lucedale, MS 39452.
If I can help you with any other research, I would be glad to try.

God Bless You,

Children of John L Cockrell, Winston, MS

thewatkins_1 — 2009-02-19 20:11:49Z

My grandfather's name was Chester Cockrell. His father was C. Abraham or ABE, OR Abraham B. who was born in MS, with father from NC.

I keep coming back to this line for possible connection. I noted John had a son with Chester as the middle or first name. The name "Chester" is found so rare, it is leading me in the direction of a relative of some sort. John L's father was John C. Could this be "Chester."????

I have come to a brick wall in finding Abe's parents. He married Laura Ann Clark, and they are on the 1880 Winston, MS census. He is listed in TX, right before he died but NO LINK to prior to 1880. There is a "Sam" Cockrell on the same page - could be a brother.

Name: John L. COCKRELL
Sex: M
Birth: 24 JUL 1819 in Nash County, NC
Death: 6 MAY 1867 in Winston County, MS

Father: John C. COCKRELL , Jr. b: 1789 in Nash County, NC
Mother: Temperance BAKER b: 1801 in Nash County, NC

Marriage 1 Sarah Jane HYDE b: 4 DEC 1835 in MS

Re: Havard

JanetWaltersEubanks — 2009-02-04 22:02:25Z

You are correct. It is Thomas Jefferson HAVARD, not Eubanks. Unfortunately Thomas Jefferson is a common name in that time period. I goofed.

Thomas Jefferson Havard is the brother ot Alley Elizabeth Havard and David Havard who are my ancestors.

I do apologize for the mistake.

Greene County Lumber Co., Bexley, Mississippi, USA, 1898

phillipeclarke — 2009-01-04 18:27:27Z

Around 1978, under a garage apartment where we lived on Shell Belt Road in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, I found a store token dated July 1898. The store token was issued by the Green Co. Lumber Company located in Bexley, Mississippi and was good for one dollar in merchandise at the company's store (non-transferrable). I spoke with some of the decendants of the store owner years ago, but have forgotten who these people were. I wish I could contact them so that I cold get some infomration on the store and its owner since I'm sure Uncle Angus (my great-grandfather's brother) more than likely shopped there.
