My great-grandfather Jeff Davis Carter was born ca.1860. Son of Green B.(Berry) Carter and Nancy Ann Crews. Green B. and wife married in Bolivar, Hardeman cty, Tn. Found Green B. in Alcorn, Tishimingo and Tippah Cty census' until 1880, and not able to go farther. Jeff Davis moved to Texas and married in 1898. Family history says Green B.lived to be 108 yrs old, and was supposed to be buried in Alcorn "Cemetery" with land he donated. Also was told by my mother that in the early 1920's, that "grandpa Green Berry's land" was being sold for back taxes. At the time, my father, Walter and his brother Green was unable to come up with the money, and it was lost. Would like to find the grave of Green Berry and Nancy Ann, but have not had any success. Green Berry was the son of Jesse and Lucy Carter who moved from N.C. to Hardeman Cty, Tn in the 1830's. would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about my Carter family..Betty Fontaine..Lampasas, Texas |

Looking for information on Isaac George W. Mallett who was in Alcorn Co in the town of Corinth in 1870 with his wife Matilda and children. Isaac at one time was a Baptist minister and then a hotel keeper and back to the Baptist ministry. I can't find him after the 1875-1876 directory for Corinth. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has Mallett history that might include him . Matilda was his 3rd wife and she was Matilda Nuttal when she married Isaac in 1860 in Marshall Co and it is there that he was listed as an hotel keeper. In the census just one family before him is a Nuttal family that were hotel keepers also and I believe that Matilda was probably a widow when she married Isaac and that this Nuttal family were her inlaws but this is just supposition. Please E-mail me if you want more information on this Mallett line as I don't get back to this place very often. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. Florence Mallett .

I am in hopes of finding someone willing to obtain copies of papers in the Chancery Clerk's Office in Alcorn. I drove there from San Antonio Texas only to discover that the records I needed were evidently upstairs and there was no handicapped access. I know that the papers are supposed to be there and I believe I have the correct book and page number. Is there anyone who is willing to do a look up there and send me a copy? Naturally, I will gladly cover any costs. I am looking for the guardianship papers for a Charity Fowler as the mother of numerous children under age back in the 1840s. This would be in the Tishomingo County records that went into Alcorn. I will send additional info to anyone who might be willing to do this. Thank you. A Willis Dougherty appears on this paper as security or bondsman. Jimmie Ruth Eash |
