Overstreet/Hipps connection

mitch0411 — 2009-08-13 21:24:08Z

I am inquiring to your posting on the internet of the Henry Overstreet Family Line. I have recently started trying to come up with some of my grandfather's (Leo Hipps) family tree information so I googled his name and your site came up. I found buried in the extensive research his name listed on page 28, entry #117. You have listed the same siblings but the parents are different that what I have documentation on. I have a typed sheet about the family of William Thomas Hipps which states that he was born on November 29, 1870 in Arkansas and died on March 17, 1928 in Electra, TX. He was married to Virginia Mae Ricketts in Arkansas (or possibly in Paris, TX). She was born May 4, ?? and died in February 1915 and buried in Anson, TX. It does list her as having siblings but none of them are named Overstreet.

I'm new at doing geneology so I can easily get lost on a rabbit trail but thought the listing of the children in your report that gives my granfather's information as I have it in documents that there must be some connection.

I commend you on your extensive Family tree. I would love that this is part of my tree to know that someone has taken it all the way back to the 1700's would be phenominal.

Thank you for any information you can give me as I begin this journey climbing my family tree.

Lisa Hipps Mitchell

Clardy family

strictnurse — 2008-10-02 15:16:51Z

Could someone do a cemetery look-up for me on James R. Clardy born 1850 and died in Stone county, MS December 12, 1930? According to his death certificate, the undertaker was "Dees and Co. of Perkiston, MS" and the body was removed to McHenry, Mississippi. Does anyone know if the funeral home records of this undertaker still survive? Thanks!

Your story about the O'Neals is so interesting. This is the
first hint of anything that has come close to my great grand-
mother that I am searching. It is said she was born in Ms.
is of Indian descent, and came from the state of Ala. back
to Ms.and married my great grandfather, James E. Marshall.
Her name is Mary Elizabeth O'Neal b 1851 d 1921 in Lamar
Co. Ms. I never knew her or any of her siblings or parents,
but would very much like to find her origin. Could your line
of O'Neals be the line my Elizabeth came from. Would love
to correspond with you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Tucker Family in early to mid 1800s in Mississippi

rooke194 — 2006-08-30 17:40:11Z

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,

John E. Stone

2006-07-01 23:18:33Z

John E. Stone (have seen John H. Stone) is my great grandfather on my mother's side. His son Tilden John Stone
married Malinda A. Crabtree and are my grandparents.
My mother was Mary Ann (Atta) Stone. John E. Stone's
father was born in New Jersey and his mother in Canada.
No one seems to have much more information. John E.
Stone may have been born in 1841 in Ohio. He lived out
his life in Brown County, Illinois ( west of Springfield, IL) .
There are many many various names used for his wife.
None seem to agree or able to find information relating to
John E. Stone. John E. Stone may have been a Miner
as a child (coal mines?) and a farmer as an adult. John E.
Stone was a Civil War veteran on the Northern side. Like
most families who have lived in the USA we have folks from
both sides during that war. I am hope someone has some
information on this man. If you do or even think you do
please contact me at DIGPPA@aol.com. I will share any
information with the several cousins of mine who are also
doing research on our greater family. Thank you!!

Re: Cemetery Question: Wiggins

2006-05-29 02:28:09Z

Thank you! I had wondered whether that might be the case since I'd seen the name "Wiggins Cemetery" in searching obituaries, but I wasn't positive since sometimes people use town names for the largest cemetery in a town instead of using the specific cemetery names -- e.g., I've heard people say "Vicksburg Cemetery" for Cedar Hill or "Lexington Cemetery" for Odd Fellows. I was worried that "Wiggins Cemetery" might be a reference to Woodlawn Park.

Cemetery Question: Wiggins

2006-05-24 19:37:43Z

What is the name of the cemetery a block or two south of Woodlawn Park in Wiggins? I'm not talking about the two parts of Woodlawn that are on different sides of the street. This one is separated from Woodlawn by a block or two of houses. The cemetery covers approximately a block in a residential area (I think I was on 5th St. when I saw it, though I'm not positive), is fairly shady, and is well kept.

I was in Wiggins a few days ago fulfilling a photo-request somebody had made on findagrave.com (for Woodlawn Park) and stopped and took a few pictures at this other cemetery the name of which I don't know. It does not show up on GoogleEarth. I can't do anything with the pictures if I don't know its name.

Thanks.

Re: Trying to find out if our son & his family are ok after Hurricane Katrina

2005-09-02 03:46:43Z

Through a freak of nature or whatever, one of my dipshit cousins was able to get through to me tonight to tell me that all of the family made it okay. There is a lot of damage, the only word from Pop was that he was riding around town trying to find a chainsaw. Mom told me that there were a bunch of trees down at their place before we lost contact.
I asked what we could send or what was needed in Wiggins. Cuz said "gas". We don't have gas here in North Carolina, it comes from there. He said that they had no way to keep frozen foods. Red Cross is trying to deliver Ice, it just doesn't last long enough. Water was restored, electricity was not. Generators are working when they can get gas. Most buildings, houses and such have been damaged. Wal-mart is pissed becaused Piggly Wiggly opened before they did.
There are no hurricane related deaths in Stone County that we know of.

You mentioned in a responce to a query, you had the book "The Batson Family", Would you be able to check if there is a Willam Batson born in IL appox 1826, died 1913 Parnell, Worth Co. MO mentioned in the book. I have been thinking of purchasing the book, but have been told it doesn't contain information on the MO. line of Batson's. I would like to know for sure before passing on the book, as it is no doubt a wealth of information!
