There is a small cemetery that I have noticed on the property of the Jackson, Mississippi International Airport. I stopped today to take a look at the gravestones and they are very-y-y old. I jotted down some of the family names and would be willing to supply gravestone info if any families are interested. I noted the following names: Hicks (probably Civil War dead as their ranks were listed), Neely, Steen (including a Judge), Paschal and Price. Many of the stones were for infants. Please respond if these may be your families. Sincerely, Joann PS This is in Rankin County, Mississippi

I have PRICEs from that area. Please send what you have for that name.

The Hicks individuals buried in that cemetery are part of my family members.

I have ancestors named Steen and Neely from the Jackson area and would love to have details of these graves. Thanks Ann

Are there any Evans buried there, as my family Evans family had land in the area, very near or within the area of the present Jackson airport.
