On the first row of men, seated, the 4th man from the right looks exactly like my great uncle Will Trotter, who married Agnes Rushing. He lived in Alcorn County until his death in the early 1900's, probably around 1910 or 1920. If anyone can identify this family or my Will Trotter, please let me know. |

James Thomas Duncan and Nellie Johnson Duncan (born 4 March 1880, died April 1969) were my great-grandparents, and so far as I know, they lived their entire lives in the Corinth area. Their children were Maude, Clara Sue, Thomas J. (Tommy), Lucille, Mildred, Hattie Velma, Loretta, and Joe. I am looking for any information about the ancestors of James Thomas Duncan and Nellie Johnson Duncan. Here is what I know so far: Nellie Johnson was the child of Greenberry and Cynthia Lumpkin Johnson. Cynthia Lumpkin and Greenberry Johnson were married on 12 April 1877 in Alcorn County, MS. Cynthia had a sister named Ellen Lumpkin who married Greenberry Johnson's brother Alfred N. Johnson (born Rome, GA). Greenberry and Alfred Johnson had two other brothers, Andrew and William. The father of Greenberry, Alfred N., Andrew, and William was Van Buren Johnson (born 1829, died October 1901 near Corinth, MS). This is the complete extent of the information I have so far. I can find a long history of Duncans in Alcorn County, but I can't link any of them to James Thomas, so I can't figure out which of them are my family. I'm also interested in the Lumpkins and the J ohnsons, of course. Any help would be most appreciated. Regards, Kelly Sanderson |
