GERALD / HAYES / HUFF
Would appreciate any help in determining what year THOMAS SUMPTER GERALD left Amite county and went to Hallettsville, Texas. Also did he take his wife ELIZABETH HAYES with him and did his children go with him. When did he return to Amite county? Also I am seeking information on Laura J.Huff born about 1840-48. She was married to Robert Sumpter Gerald who was from Amite county, so I assume she was from this area also. They lived in Hallettsville Texas and also Callahan County Texas,she died in Tyler county Texas after 1883.

They had thier first six children in South Carolina before moving to Amite/Wilkinson Co. ca 1807 or early 1808, for they had child eight Samuel James 6 Oct 1808 in Wilkinson Co. Francis is listed in Amite Co in 1810 but is not listed in 1816 census. He was apparently a member of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he or son Francis Abram was apparently baptized. He was dismissed in 1815(probably when he moved onto Lawrence Co.) Firstborn child Rhoda(b. ca 1790-95, SC) married John JONES there 17 Aug 1809. She is said to have died ca 1822,apparently leaving two children Benjamin and Elizabeth (b. ca 1812, MS; d. ca 1854). Elilzabeth married Eli H Turner, probably ca 1834. They had Elias L/Edward?(b. ca 1836), Lewis/Livingston?(b. ca 1838), and Virginia T(b. ca 1838) in Mississippi before moving to DeSoto Parish, Louisiana by ca 1834 when their next child was born. Elizabeth may have died in childbirth after her 9th child, Julia L was born. I have no further information on the JONES family and would like to find more on them, especially on Rhoda. I am also interested in the Nancy MARTIN(s) listed in the Ebenezer minutes. There are three references: "received by experience"(could be wife or mother??), baptized(could be daughter?), and died(by 1817). I would appreciate any help on this family. Thanks.

JACKSON / JONES / MERIDA / MERIDY / RODGERS / ROGERS? or RODGES?)
I wish to correspond with anyone who would have any knowledge of Mose Jones (born abt. 1890). Married to Anna Jones (also born abt. 1890). These are my Great Grandparents (maternal). Anna passed in 1979 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Mose is also deceased. My paternal gx2 grandparents were named Victoria (Rodgers?) Jones and Ila (Iler?) Jones. My maternal gggrandparents names were Millie and Jeff Jackson. They all would have been born around 1870 (that is a guestimate--going by the years my great grandparents were born). Anna and Mose had several children including my grandmother ]Eliza ('Liza') Jones who would have been born around 1925. She passed on in the mid 60's before my birth while my mother was still young. Eliza would have had her first child (my mothers older sister) with a white man by the name of Joe Westbrook. I have searched and found good information regarding some family members on Ancestry.com. Including a census record with my grandmother--and some of her siblings along with my grandparents (Mose and Anna) listed. I also found Millie Jackson on a census record. She was listed as being widowed. However, I found no information regarding my gggrandfather Jeff. I also found no information on Victoria and Ila Jones. They would have all lived in Amite County (Liberty), MS. Much of the family has migrated to Louisiana now. My family also attended and some still attend Galilee Church of God and Christ Church (I believe it is located in Gloster?? or Liberty). My family is sort of disconnected. As I stated before, my grandmother passed on early--leaving behind my mother and my mothers siblings. They were actually raised by a Daniel and Myrtis Robinson in Liberty. They had some contact with their family but were never very close with the aunts...etc. I believe my family members are buried in Cox Cemetery(??). So here I am trying to find out as much as I can about my family. I was able to also get a birth certificate for my grandmother Eliza. (That made my mother so very happy! Can you imagine?). I am currently about to send off for records pertaining to my great grandmother and father with information I found on Ancestry.com. I would love to gain as much information as possible. If anyone sees this and has any knowledge of my family. Please let me know. God Bless! I currently reside in Northern Va. I do plan to come down to Amite one day to do more research. Thank you.

ALSO: I am searching for anyone having information or knowledge pertaining to Victoria Meridy (Merida?). She is listed on the 1900 and 1910 census. Victoria would have been my great great grandmother. She was listed as 'next of kin' on a draft card I found for my grandfather Mose Jones. I was confused because I have always been told that her maiden name was Victoria Rodges (or Rodgers/Rogers) and that she married Iler (Ida?) Jones---father of my great grandfather Mose Jones. However, through my research I've learned that she may have married twice. Her second husband would have been Jacob Meridy (Merida). Jacob Meridy was also twice married and had children from his previous marriage as well. Those children resided with them. Mose Jones would have been living with his grandparents--parents of Victoria (Dock and Mariah Rodges) according to the 1900 census. At this time I am not sure what happened to Iler Jones---I am thinking he passed on soon after my grandfather was born in 1890. If anyone has any knowledge of the persons named above I would love to correspond with you.
