I published a book following my 30 years of collecting data on the Stevens and some related lines. I made trips to Yazoo County and found the fragments of what's left of the Joel Stevens Family cemetery at Benton, MS. All of that is in my book. Are you near a library with a genealogy section? If you tell me which one I can tell you if a copy is there. I also have copies for sale. Thank you.

Re: PEARCE FAMILY

spbork2 — 2013-03-18 16:49:45Z

Hello Janet,

I am trying to find the connection between HENRY PEARCE b c 1913, listed on 1930 in Yazoo Co. and FRANK COLEMAN with whom he is living, listed as COUSIN. I believe this Henry is the same as JAMES HENRY PEARCE bd. in Bethany Primitive Baptist Cemetery, Yazoo Co. and James Monroe was his father. Ideally, I am looking for information on how/when this PEARCE family connects to the line of FRANK COLEMAN, who is proving to be very elusive. FRANK's mother was HETTIE (various spellings) OWENS. Oral history indicates Frank's father was not necessarily a COLEMAN, so perhaps it is the OWENS name that intersects with PEARCE.

Thank you for your help.

Re: My Great Grandfather Richard Bridges

dpowell8163 — 2013-01-04 02:51:13Z

Richard Bridges was my great, great grandfather. He lived in Yazoo, MS. His daughter, Apolonia, who is my great grandmother, is my father's grandmother on his dad's side of the family. Apolonia raised my father and was a good woman. She is half Cherokee indian. Her mother's name is Melvia. I am have been working extensively on tracing our Cherokee roots because i find it very interesting. Have driven to Telaquah, Oklahoma, home of the eastern band of Cherokees once, and have traveled to Cherokee, NC twice per year for the past 20 years. I found a Henry Collins on the Dawes Roll but have come to a dead end presently. Henry Collins was my father's grandfather and married my great grandmother, Apolonia Bridges. Apolonia was born in 1860 and if I remember correctly, Richard was born approximately 1740's.

Re: My Great Grandfather Richard Bridges

dpowell8163 — 2013-01-04 02:41:38Z

My great great grandfather, Richard Bridges lived in Yazoo, MS. You are right that he had a son named Samuel, but he also had another son, Dick and his daughter's name was Apolonia Bridges. She married my great grandfather,James Henry Collins. Apolonia was my father's grandmother, and she raised my father. I have pictures of them. She lived to be 108 years old, just 2 weeks before her 109th birthday she passed on from pneumonia. They,Apolonia and James Henry, are buried in Greenville, MS. That is where they lived after moving there from Yazoo, MS.

First, although the stone for Nellie Mae Inez Richardson does not show a date of death the 1999 booklet shows it as 11/10/1998.

I find two Welton Martins, presumed to be Sr. and Jr. see attached. There is no date of death on either the marker or the database for the Sr.

Re: John Gilbert Glass

milesholloman — 2012-12-28 14:54:46Z

I do not work in Glenwood. I live in North Alabama but we have a farm in Yazoo Co and spend quite a bit of time there. Yazoo City published a listing of those buried in Glenwood in 1999 but nothing since that I am aware of although they have a data base that is more current. About a year ago I reviewed the 1999 listing an found that the few relatives I had in the cemetery were not listed. Taking the 1999 list as a start and a bit of other information I photographed some 10,000 markers and made my own data base. It appears there are some 12,000 buried in Glenwood some 1-2000 unmarked but found in the database. I can check my listing for your other family if you wish.

Lisa,
Find attached Sallie and Arthur William. These along with John are in the same section of the cemetery. I have also included a marker for W.O. Glass which is in another part of the cemetery. These are the only Glass entries I have.

From the information I have gathered on Glenwood I find a Nellie Mae Inez Richardson, double stone with Oscar, born 1922, with no date of death. The stone only shows Nellie I.
Is this the Inez you are interested in?

Do you have exact death dates for his parents? If so, you might email the Yahoo City library - it sounds like the staff would be willing to do obit look ups. That can help locate his siblings, which could lead to present day relatives.

PDF maps for all 82 counties and many cities in Mississippi are available on the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) web site. Go to:
http://mdot.ms.gov/portal/home.aspx
Then click on MAPS.
You can save the maps to your computer, view, enlarge, print, etc.
They give Township, Range and Sections.
I drove through Tinsley yesterday. Denbury Resources has breathed a bit of new life into the oil field community. Tinsley lost its post office a few years ago. Thompson Creek had just a little bit of water in it -- probably has a good bit more after today's downpour. Unfortunately most of the folks I knew from the area have moved on or died.
If you can get Yazoo City or Jackson, microfilms of the newspapers are available in the Yazoo City library or the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. They are a wonderful resource.

Hello Barbra can you tell me a little more regarding the oil fire in Tinsley. If you can will you share more information about the other family's on or around Tinsley. I was born in Yazoo myself and like you I left at 3 years old and never returned til 2007. So I dont remember Mississippi at all. I have heard thing about Ms. And rying to research the history of areas like Tinsley Perry Creek Rd. and oil city and the old highway 3. If you know what Townships and sections are around there it would be very helpful. Plese send me an email at claibornet@ymail.com. Or fill free to call 651-214-2896. If there is any history or documentation records you can share I would be very blessed. Thank you.

Re: BRIDGES Yazoo Co. MS

paxton14 — 2012-12-20 18:20:29Z

Hello Kathleen,

Henry Newton Bridges is my great great Grandfather and Matilda Sharkey Henderlite is my great great Grandmother.

For a while I have been researching Henry's parents. I believe his mother to be Sarah "Sally" Purvis.

Today, my Mother called to say she had received a check from an oil company for benefits under mineral rights passing to her from our "Bridges" ancestor. A subsequent land search on Ancestry using the oil company's land description revealed a land record of the same description held by John "T" or John "J" Bridges and a man named "Hamer." So I believe this John to be my GGGGrandfather. To my untrained eye his name seems to be John "T" Bridges.

Since your post was so long ago I hope we can communicate.

Take care,
Mary

I can tell you his first wife's maiden name was Moore, they married in Oglethorpe, GA on 9 Jan 1825 and had 3 children; John R; Robert Alexander and Georgia Ann. From his second marriage to Elizabeth Henry Murry, I know 2 of the children - Leander you know, a daughter Louisiana married William R Jones and they also moved to LA. Another of their daughter's Dicey she married William Harrison JOhnston, but appears to have died before 1880. I don't know about his other children. But since he married Sarah Moore in Oglethorpe, it is a starting place to search for his family

He was shot by Jessie Hodnett in front of the Bank of Anguilla. The suggested reason being Jessie was in love with George's wife Sarah and wanted to marry her himself. I don't know if this happened or not,my aunt said George's son RJ Powell told this to her before he died..Jessie and Sarah were married in 1909.They had 2 children,William"BILL" Hodnett, and Callie Hodnett. George and Sarah's daughter Katie Leona Powell is my grandmother b.Aug.02,1898,Straight Bayou,Ms. married abt 1921 to J.K. McNeil,she died sept. 1992 in Vicksburg,Ms. Buried Mound cemetary,Rolling Fork,Ms

it was drill for the union producing company, They pumped 5 milliom bags of drill mud in one year O M Cutright was field supertentant .Luther Winchester was the field foreman
on the well. Everyone at tinsley worked on that job. Thar sand was never drilled back into to this day. I am sure the oil and gas board still has the file folder
