David,
My paternal grandparents, Hampton Hilliard Smith, b. 1833/34 AL and Margaret Luticia/Letitia (Pearson) Smith, b. 1851, AL lived in MS around Moselle, in Jones Co., and may be buried in that area or around Lauderdale or Forrest Co. I found Margaret with her daughter Minnie and Tom Merritt on the 1910 census there in Lauderdale Co. My father and his first wife, Ella Odom, were also listed on the 1910 census there in Meridian, MS in Lauderdale Co. I also found them listed in the 1910 City Directory. I have not located the gravesites of Margaret Luticia nor Hampton's burial places. Margaret was listed as a widow on the 1910 census and maybe Hampton died there in AL in Talladega or Childersburg, AL prior to their moving to MS. Hampton was a Confederate soldier who was with Hilliard's Legion the 59th Regiment. The Merritts later moved to Miller Co., Arkansas, Texarkana where I found them in 1920. If you could locate my grandparents' gravesites, I would be most appreciative. I do have relatives, a half nephew, a son of Preston Smith, Tarver Smith who owns T. Smith Tractor Trailer Sales and Western Store there in Hattiesburg, MS with whom I have contact. My father was J. C. Smith, b. 1891 in AL. You may contact me at
