Seeking any info about THOMAS and CATHERINE GARY. Both were born in South Carolina and presumably died in Tishomingo Co. We don't know the birth or death dates, but they were probably born by 1800. They migrated from South Carolina to Alabama by 1837, and then to Mississippi after that. Their daughter Martha Nelson GARY was born 24 May 1818 in SC, married Obediah CLAY on 27 July 1837 in Greene Co., AL. Thank you for any help you can give us. |

John and Sarah Davis migrated from old York County, SC to a northern Mississippi county in the 1830's or 1840's. They had a 2 sons Marshall and Lawson. They also had 3 daughters. Lawson Bedford Davis was my gggrandfather. He was back in SC in 1860 and mar ried Mary Louisa McDowell. In 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate Army. On the tax roles of 1887, I have seen a Mrs. Sarah Davis listed in Tishomingo County, as well as M.M. Davis. Could this be Lawson's mother and brother? There was a John Davis who was enlisted in the Iuka Rifles in the Civil War. Maybe this was Lawson's fath er? How do I get more information? An old family bible says that this family lived near Ripley, MS. I can't find any familiar family names in Tippah County, but have seen several in Alcorn and Tishomingo counties. My father's name was Robert Carroll Davis. Carroll was said to be passed down as an old family name. I've seen this name among some of the Davises of theses counties. Any possible connections or just coincidences? How do I find out? Any help or advise appreciated. Thanks |
