Hannah-Brannan Cemetery/Brannan Family

MSTrail — 11 Aug 2008 2:42:24 GMT

I recently recieved Samuel Rishon Brannan's military file from National Archives. Included in the file along with his widow's War of 1812 Pension Application was an affidavit by James & Robert Byrd filed in the Mobile County AL courts as a proof of death of Samuel Rishon Brannan.

This affidavit states that Samuel R. Brannan was buried at the Hannah-Brannan "Graveyard" and that they helped with the burial.

I am looking for the Hannah-Brannan Cenetery. Please contact me if you have information pertaining to this burial site or conections to the Brannan lineage.

Samuel Rishon Brannan was born in 1792 Fairfield County, SC, died 10/15/1868 Mobile County, AL. Married Celah "Seely" Mason on 9/5/1822 Mobile County, AL.

Marriage Application mentions Thomas Brannan, and looking for connection of Samuel R. Brannan & Thomas Brannan also.

Thanks in advance for any information you may have.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Zula LOTT, looking for grave

Ruthie Carpenter — 8 Dec 2000 12:00:00 GMT

Hello All, I am trying to find the burial location for my g-grandmother, Zula LOTT. Tha last place I know she lived was in Leakesville, Greene Co., MS. That was around 1900. I don't have any of her dates (b. or d.).
My father remembers being shown the headstone and thinks that it was fairly close to town. So that would mean it is somewhere in Greene Co. or just over the state line, in Mobile Co., AL, most likely. Zula's son, Charley LOTT, my grandfather, was born in Citronelle AL. 10-Dec-1898. Zula's father, Houston, is buried in the Bethel Cemetary, on Prine Rd., Citronelle, I was told. I didn't learn that until I was back home though, so I wasn't able to verify that either.
We tried to find Zula's grave when we were down there, but had no success. If anyone should happen to find my Zula LOTT, please let me know. I've been looking for her for 4 years now.
Thank you for your time. Happy Hunting! Ruthie

County Line School

ribs1 — 30 Apr 2008 2:36:58 GMT

The Committee to restore the County Line School in George County is seeking any information about the school. County Line School was established in 1880 and used as a school and church until 1924. The school building was moved to the Lucedale City Park over 30 years ago and is located there today. The name county line was given to the school because it was located in Greene County near the Jackson Greene County line until George County was formed in 1910.
Then the school became a part of George County. The school was located near Evanston and might be referred to as Evanston School. The committee would be interested in pictures of the school, names of students, and teachers.

1850 Greene County census question

bobkatnan — 10 Apr 2008 6:25:18 GMT

Does anyone know why there were so many "students" listed in the 1850 census--specifically in District 7 around pages 47 and 48. A lot of these "students" had different surnames from the head of household and were from other states. I ask because my great grandfather, Edward Casey, born and orphaned in New York prior to 1850 was in Greene County in 1850, living with James Plott (or Platt) and his family. I presume this was too early for the "orphan trains".

JENKINS-PAYNE-PERKINS

raysal_1 — 4 Feb 2007 10:10:35 GMT

JENKINS-PAYNE-PERKINS Trying to locate ancestors and the burial location for Darrell Payne (b. ca 1835, AL, probably Marengo Co.) Darrell m. 1-25-1855 to Martha Ellen Simpson in Washington Co., AL. He d. 12-8-1906 in the MS State Mental Hospital after 35+ years of being institutionalized for "Chronic Mania." The cemetery where patients were buried when the family did not claim their bodies is in terrible shape from what I am told (in Jackson on North State Street). As a professional counselor, it breaks my heart that Darrell may have had difficulty with the Civil War atrocities and was not understood. I have not been able to find any trace of a grave for Darrell in AL to date.
Darrell and Martha S. Payne had 2 daughters and only 1 son=John W. Payne b. Jan., 1860, TX who m. 12-24-1885 to Fannie Perkins. John W. Payne and Fannie settled in LAUREL (JONES) MS and raised a family [5 children: Wm. M., Evelyn, Ethel E., John A. & Valeria] Daughter Evelyn Payne m. Alexander A. Jenkins b. 3-4-1883, AL and they remained in Laurel. Alex was a Policeman for the City of Laurel on his WWI Draft Registration. The family is on the 1930 Census with widower, John W. Payne living with them. There were 2 Jenkins children: Clyde b. ca 1913 & Gladys b. ca 1911. I highly suspect that many of these folks died and are buried in or near LAUREL. Are there any census inventories for cemeteries in or near Laurel that I could check. I hope and pray that Darrell is buried with family. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

I am seeking information on a John Hall who is listed on the 1812 Miss. Terr. census in Greene County. My ggg grandfather Clem (also known as Clement and Clemson) Hall, born in the Carolinas ca. 1789, may have originally lived in the Green Co./Washington Co. areas of the old Miss.

Volunteers during the War of 1812 according to bounty land claim. Am trying to find any connection between Clem Hall and the Halls who settled in the Greene County area before 1816.

Tucker Family in early to mid 1800s in Mississippi

rooke194 — 30 Aug 2006 5:40:11 GMT

I am looking for a John, Thomas or possibly Alfred TUCKER that might have been living in Mississippi before 1845. The Tucker I am looking for might have married an Elizabeth Badeau from LA or MS. At one time we thought we had them connected to Jane Humphry, but that is not correct.
John Jefferson Tucker was born in 1845 in McComb, MS, the son of the above query.J.J. Tucker married (in 1875) Anneta Whitcomb of Covington St. Tam., LA. JJ. and Anetta named one of their sons, Thomas Brinsfield Tucker. There might be a Brinsfield connection. We are having a devil of a time finding out about his parentage. Family lore is very confusing and contridictory!
HELP, HELP, HELP!
Thanks,

William Alexander Prentice and Mary Rainey

JDewald0865 — 4 Jan 2006 11:15:25 GMT

For a number of years have been attempting to trace the ancestry of WILLIAM A. PRENTICE . We know from Greene County census and other records that he was b. c. 1814 in the State of New York. That information has not helped much because during that period there were some 30 Prentice/Prentiss families scattered throughout that State and most had children in William's age range.

At some date before 1838, William, with or without his family, moved to Mississippi.
WILLIAM married MARY RAINEY/RANEY on 9 Nov 1838 in Hinds Co., MS. She was b. c. 1823. They appear a year and a half later in the 1840 Hinds Co., MS census. By 1860 William and his family were living in Leakesville, Greene County. His known children include:

1. James Alexander Prentiss, b. c. 1840. He married Sarah/Sally Roberts.
2. Mary Prentiss, b. c. 1842. She married Richard Pipkins.
3. Sarah Ann Prentiss, b. c. 1842. She married James P. Williams.
4. John Alexander "Alexander" Prentiss, b. Aug 1848. He m. Catherine "Kate" Williams.

William died August 1849 in Greene County of consumption. He may be buried in the Licksville Cemetery. We have a reasonably complete family tree showing most of his descendants, but have had no luck in identifying William's parents and roots.

We would surely appreciate any help you can provide in identifying William's parents. In exchange for your kind help, and if you are interested, we would be pleased to send you our information about his descendants as well as his ancestors if we can identify his parents. I have some 35,000 Prentices (Prentis, Prentiss) in my database and think it probable that with his parents' names I can trace his roots back additional generations.
