I recently attained the Southern Claims file (1878)for my gg grandfather, Shadrach Bray of DeKalb Co. AL In his deposition he state that his brother, "Allen", (John Allen Bray) was in the Rebel Army and lived three miles from Corinth, Alcorn Co., Mississippi. They may also have had a sister in nearby Tishimingo Co. Her name was Sarah Bray Gasaway. I'm needing to contact any descendants of these people. Please, if you run across these names in your research in this part of the country, your help would be most gratefully appreciated. If you are family, I have a lot of information that I am willing to share. Grasping at straws in Georgia, Linda |

MARTIN, EMMONS, PINKSTON, FARRIS, McCollom, George I am researching these families, but am particularly interested in the Martin family. Solomon Breckenridge Martin was my gg-grandfather. He lived in Alcorn county and married Margie Texana Emmons. Anecdotal to historical info welcome. I know his parents were James or Jim C. Martin and Margaret H. George. I believe Jim was previously married though because on 1860 census he has children too old to belong to Margaret. |

Hello Alcorn County, I am researching the PERRY family of Crawford County, PA., and have one small connection to Alcorn. It is possible that my 2nd-gr-uncle, George W. PERRY died about the time of the battle of Corinth. His death date is listed as 23 MAY 1862. I found a memorial marker in CRAW that is no longer fully legible. I can just make out his name and Corinth. Since there is a GAR flag holder next to this stone I am guessing that he was there. I can find no information on this gent either in CRAW or in any of the PA Civil War books I have looked in. If anyone has any ideas on where to find something about him, please let me know. Sincerely, Beth Perry bthmbl@centurytel.net |

Neither of them have marked graves though we know that Victoria Venanda Puckett (Docia's sister, also Berry's dau.) is along beside them as well. Minnie was V.V.'s dau.aand is also there.Berry died 5/9/1912. Docia died Circa 1902 giving birth to Jessie Ward Ables...Lillie's sister. Lillie was 101 years old with a good mind, and hopefully still alive this moment! Are there any lists to compare? |
