William G. LITTLE married Lucy BOYKIN in Noxubee Co. in 1857. His first
wife, Dulcina
Little, died about 1856. Elizabeth A.FREEMAN who married John TIPTON in
1863 may be William Little's sister. [A check of the 1860 census was requested.

Linda Jenkins <[email protected]> asked a good question, of which I do not have an answer:
While traveling through Macon on my way to Atlanta....My GGGrandfather is listed at being named on the Confederate Memorial and I wanted to see it. However I was not able to locate his name - C. TOLE. Are there some on the list who are not inscribed on the monument or did I just miss his name? He was medically discharged in Jan. 1863 and died Nov. 1863 in Summerville MS. Not knowing where Summerville was located Linda asked if she could obtain a list of cemeteries nearby. [I was able to tell her that Summerville "became" Gohlson.]

Marleen Van Horne <[email protected]> has many resources and volunteers to do some look ups for our county. In one of her posts, she gave the following info. on relatives just to the south of Noxubee.......she also has these same surnames in Noxubee:
My family lived in Kemper County from 1834 to about 1907. The first to arrive was Elias ODEN and his brother, George. They were followed by their father, Thomas Bussey Oden and another brother John Harvey Oden. Elias Oden acquired a substantial amount of property about a mile south of DeKalb. He is mentioned in Pioneer Days of Kemper County.
My WHITE ancestors arrived in Kemper County about 1838. John W. White purchased property in Section 33, Township 10-N and Range 14-E. John W. White married Nancy Oden about 1848. It is believed that John's sister, Mary, married Nancy's brother, James.
The Oden line is well documented. The Whites are a bit of a mystery. John had six sisters and two brother. The brothers, Willis D. and Samuel are believed to have died in the Civil War. They last appear in the 1860 census. Of the sisters, Henrietta married Levin C. WATKINS; Harriet married Ervin BROWN, the step-son of Michael ROSS; Leann married Wm. C. MEEKS [?]; Mary married James J. ODEN [?]; Lucinda married Benjamin C. GERMANY. The only one I have not identified is Martha who married a BARKER or PARKER.
Most of the courthouse records prior to 1880 have been destroyed.
Janice McCoy <[email protected]> had some questions on a family she is tracking, then Marlene (from the listing above this one) had some answers:
Searching Noxube Co, Ms for Mathew MYERS b about 1844?? possibly died
in 1900. A daughter Anna Jane MYERS born 1-21-1864. Wife may have been Mary,
Mary was divorced,
could be under MARLER/ MCCRORY/ OR LANG by 1870. Have no idea what happened
to Mathew. Anna Jane was married by 1900 and living in Scott Co.MS
Then, Marlene gave this report: In the 1850 Noxubee Census, there are
no listings for MYERS, MARLER, MCCRORY or LANG, according the the SK index.
There is on entry for
MCCRARY, Household 156:
Mathew McCrary 30 M Mechanic SC
Mary M. McCrary 22 F Ala
Marleen Van Horne <[email protected]> sent the following interesting story:
The 1854 McKee Deed is on our GenConnect Deed Board.
William McKee was my ggg-grandfather. My own analysis of
him is that he was a hard man, probably lacking compassion for his fellow
beings. His children seem to have left home as soom as they came of age,
and some did not maintain contact with him or their brothers and sisters.
In 1849, when his wife's mother applied for her husband's revolutionary
war pension, she did not know if her daughter was alive or dead.
I have tried to find out the circumstances of the murder mentioned in
the deed. Unfortunately, the criminal court records for Noxubee County,
covering 1854-55 were lost in 1950, after the courthouse burned down. They
were apparently thrown out as trash. The Macon
newspapers are also missing for that period. The information may be in the
newspapers of Kemper Co., or Sumter Co., AL, but I do not have easy access
to those, here in California.
I make the assumption that William McKee was not found guilty of the murder, he appears in the 1860 census, more prosperous, and with more slaves than those listed in the deed. He died in 1867 without a will.
My ggg-grandfather William McKee owned property on both sides of the
Noxubee/Kemper County boundry. In December of 1854, he was indicted for
murder in Noxubee County. A
bond of $10,000.00 was posted on his behalf. In order to insure the bond
holders against default, he placed all of his property in a trust, until
the trial was over.
The Noxubee County Criminal Court records were apparently lost in 1950. There are no Noxubee County newspapers available for the period from December 1854 to June 1855.
Does anyone know of Kemper County newspapers covering this period that might have covered the story?
Lastly, for those of you researching you black ancestors in Noxubee Co. I sincerely hope you find them in this document,[the deed]. If you do, please contact me, I can give you more information on the McKee family that might help you trace you family further back in time.
One name in the deed, which I transcribed as Jamotane was unreadable. If you know the correct name, please advise and it will be corrected.
If you make a connection to any one mention in the document, please let
me know, I really want to hear from you.
E. Annette Rose <[email protected]> responded:
Love it! This is what we need to have us all do, share these precious documents amongst us and while doing it, learn some wonderful history!
Just for the record: The John H. Gear mentioned is in fact John Haynes Greer. (*he is one of mine, and I got his middle name from Land Records) H.O. Beasley, is Henry Oscar Beasley, brother-in-law to John Hudson, my great great grandfather (John's wife was Elizabeth). The Simpson families, the Beasleys, and the Greers, all lived near Shuqualak, or just to the east and southeast of it. My Hudson family lived just south of Shuqualak, sec. 22 & 28 of T13R17 ....(later, in other sections as well). There are Simpson family members buried in the Hudson Family Cemetery on the Hudson Plantation. The Greers were bordering them to the east, the Hardiman family lived just to the northeast of the Hudsons according to land records. This puts the McKee family within "riding" distance of my family.
Jim Adams <[email protected]> has names, but not sure which is which?
Actually I am trying to trace my gg-grandfather John ADAMS born 1815 in North Carolina. He married Parnetta ANDLETON Dec. 30, 1846 in Noxubee County. Then I found him on the 1850 Leake County Census where he died in 1872.
I found a marriage between John T. ADAMS and Mary W. PORTER July 12,
1838.
I am trying to determine if this is my gg-grandfather John Adams. I have
never known his middle initial, but he named a son John T. I am told neighbors
often married in those days.
I do not know the name of John's father, but I think it was either Abraham Adams or John Adams which are both shown on the 1840 Noxubee County census. My question for you is-------please see if either of these men had a Porter family living near them. [Would need access to land records to comply with this request....ear]
1840 Noxubee County Census:
1. Abraham Adams on Page #097. The 1850 Census gave his place of birth as
South Carolina in 1791. He was the son of Francis Adams that was born 1763
in Ireland and died 1846 in Noxubee County.
2. John Adams on Page #101. He moved to Leake County before the 1850
Census. He was born 1770 in South Carolina. His wife's name was Rachel.
[ There was another, John T. Adams, who was on the 1840 Federal Census at age 70. Not sure, but I think he is my John's uncle and a brother to Francis.]
I am trying to prove one of these men is the father of my gg-grandfather, John Adams. He was born 1815 in North Carolina (county unknown). He married Parnetta Andleton Dec. 30, 1846 in Noxubee County. He moved to Leake County before the 1850 Census and died there in 1872.
The following could be my gg-grandfather's brothers or cousins (I do
not have proof).
1. William Adams born 1819.
2. Amos Adams born 1822
3. Wiley Adams Birth date unknown
They were all born in North Carolina
These three and my gg-grandfather John were shown on the special 1845 Noxubee
County State Census. William & Amos was on the 1850 Noxubee County Federal
Census.
[email protected] <[email protected]> posted this to the Monroe county, Mississippi mail list. With so many WHITE and NEAL reserachers checking Noxubee county, and knowing that just prior to the formation of Noxubee, some of the land was considered to be Lowndes county, I thought it be "appropriate" to list it here.

[email protected] <[email protected]> offerred some ADAMS info. in the attempt to aide in the search:
I have Lemuel Morgan Adams, Jr. m. to Louise Stuart. They were married March 04, 1886, I do not have his birth date or any other information on him. The Stuart line is my line.
I believe that there are a lot of Adams buried in the Old Salem Cemetary
outside of Macon, MS in Noxubee County. Perhaps someone could do a lookup
in a Cemetary book for you. I also have a Madison Adams in Kemper County,
no birth or death dates, his daughter Levicie Rebecca Adams was born in
1846.
M. Elizabeth C. Zimmer <[email protected]> shared a bit of history:
My mother always said that her father, John Wilkinson Wootten, was Mayor of Brooksville when the sidewalks were laid. [Anyone know when this was?]
I also have my grandparents Family Bible if anyone was interested. They were John Wilkinson Wootten and Charlotte Helen Beck who married in Brooksville on November 15, 1882.
She also volunteered to do lookups in publications of the Historical Society.
Jo Ellan <[email protected]> has a problem with the "correct name" of an ancestor:
I have ggg-grandparents, ELIZABETH DABB and Warrin Robbins whose marriage is registered in the Noxubee County Marriage Records for 1835. They were in Pontotoc Co., MS from 1840. The problem is this:
Family bibles record that Elizabeth was a COBB not DABB. I have searched
high and low to establish Elizabeth's parents' identity. They MUST have
been with her in Noxubee prior to her marriage in 1835. Some later census
records suggest she was born in 1817, others say 1823.
Linda <[email protected]> is searching:
Does anyone have a list of cemeteries around the area of Summerville, MS (now extinct) I am searching for burial place of Charles TOAL who died Nov. 1863. [This area is now known as Gohlson...ear] Then, Marlene gave us some information in regards to cemeteries:
Just a word about Noxubee Cemeteries. All of the known cemeteries in
Noxubee county are listed, and the graves inventoried in the Nocubee County
Cemetery book published by the Noxubee County Historical Society.
If your ancestor is not listed there, he or she was buried
in a private family cemetary and the location is not known.
My McKee and Dew ancestors lived and died in Noxubee County from 1834
to 1900. Not a single one is listed in the book--we know they had private
cemetaries, but no one knows where they are.

[email protected] <[email protected]> after helping so many, put in a request for help that gives us more names:
On a recent trip to Noxubee County MS, I found some information on my ancestor William E. COTTON. I had hoped to find something to prove his middle name - but did not find that. I found probate records beginning in 1843 and going until about 1854. Some names mentioned in the estate papers of William E. Cotton are: John R. Cotton (administrator), A. D. Cotton, W. R. Cotton, J. T. ROBERTSON in right of his wife Nancy (my ancestors), Arthur ANDERSON? in right of wife Martha, J. R. Cotton guardian of Caroline Cotton, J. R. Cotton guardian of Priscilla Cotton, Margaret Cotton, James R. WATTS and his wife Jane, Minerva FERGUSON, N. C. Cotton, J. F.? Hanoly or Hunely, James F. DUGAN and wife Frances C. Dugan (late Cotton) and other names that I have not been able to understand at this point.
The guardianship papers for John BREEDLOVE, Mary Ann BREEDLOVE and Lemuel BREEDLOVE in 1838 were signed by William ROBERTSON, Thomas ROBERTSONand Lemuel WYNN.
Sheryl Ellerman <[email protected]> posted only the following...when posting, you might want to give what little "history" you know, or how you make the connection?
Levi WARTSON married Jane TEER on December 22, 1876 in Noxubee, Mississippi
R. Davis <[email protected]> posted these names and questionable dates:

Allen b. 1878
Elaine Oakes <[email protected]> was surprized to find her ties to Noxubee county:
I found information on Geneology.com that indicates that my grandmother's grandparents, Robert Glover LANHAM and Caroline Elizabeth HARRISON, were married in Noxube Co April 7, 1864 (this was something of a shock, since he was from South Carolina and I think his regiment was in Virginia). I will be getting a copy of the records, but am looking for more information on this Harrison family. I found census information for 1840 on-line showing three Harrison families at that time, but Caroline was probably not born until a little later. Robert and Caroline moved to Greyson Co, TX around 1870 and since it looks like the Harrisons left Mississippi, it is possible that some of them went to Texas, too.
Again, [email protected] <[email protected]> came up with:

Joelyn James <[email protected]> wrote an interesting piece:
William DOOLEY. I believe that his daughter Mary Elizabeth married Francis C. JERNIGAN in 1849 in Noxubee county. He was listed in the 1870 census in Noxubee county and had a William V. Dooley age 30, Henry G. Dooley age 22 and Thomas Jernigan age 21 living with him. William and his wife are in their 60's in this census.
Elaine Oakes <[email protected]> had something to say about the Harrisons after receiving my census look-up:
Even though it turns out that my family doesn't show up in 1850. Surrounding counties are possible. I guess the RAGSDALEs were in Noxubee when Caroline Ragsdale married Jonathan HARRISON, but he may not have lived there, or they may have moved where more land was available some time after the wedding (and that doesn't tell us whether they were the right couple or not). And if it happens that Jonathan and Caroline were the parents of my gggrandmother, it is also possible that they died and she was living with her Ragsdale grandparents or other relatives by 1864 (of course, that could apply to one of the Harrison families, too).
Harrisons from the 1850 census of Noxubee County:
Mary Harrison, age 75 f, b. Va in the household of Horatio N Spooner
Household #826/826
B.A. Harrison, age 42, m, Planter, b. Va

That is all the listings for the surname of Harrison in the 1850 Noxubee
County, Ms. census.

Bettye <[email protected]> has ties that several on this list may find interesting:
