CANANT / CANNET / CONANT / CONNANT
My husband's great grandfather, William CANANT, was born in Mississippi 17
Feb 1843, and we do not know which county, but think it may have been AMITE
Co. He died 20 Apr 1821 in Cullman, AL. He was married to Amanda Missouri
YEILDING b 5 Mar 1845 in AL, d 30 Nov 1943 Cullman Co, AL. Their son, John
Melton CANANT b 26 Jan 1865 Walker Co, AL, married Mary J RATLIFF b 6 Sept
1865, d 24 June, 1929 LaMarque TX. I have found several RATLIFFs, which I
believe are members of the same RATLIFF family, who went to Amite Co, MISS. I
know this is a long shot, but do any of you RATLIFF descendants in Amite Co
have anything at all on the CANANT family? Thanking you in advance.

COBB
James Cobb 1850 Amite Co, MS.
This man and wife Martha A. were in the census for 1850 with children
Samuel J. and William G. Does anyone know anything about these folks.
I've also found Cobbs in Wilkinson and Franklin Cos who are listed in the
census as being born in Amite Co. I find also a William L. Cobb b. c
1779 in Franklin Co, Ms in the 1850 census with wife Arminda and an
Easter Cobb age 65 b. GA. There is an Albert Cobb age 18 in the 1850
Amite census that says he was born in Franklin Co. Anyone know how these
folks all relate? BJ
MCMORRIS
I am looking for information on Alexander McMorris (b. ~1771, d. 1841)
who was born in Fairfield County, SC and moved to Amite County in the
Liberty city area around 1810. He was married to Elizabeth Baxter and
I think had nine children, of which I am interested in William if you
have any information pertaining to him also. Any leads would be
greatly appreciated.
LUNDY
I'm looking for information on the Lundy family of Amite,MS
Drury ( DOD 1816) & Elizabeth ( DOD 12/25/1837)Lundy both died there. Where

If anyone has info on this family, I'd appreciate the help. This is family
on grandmothers side that none of us ever knew anything about.
BERRYHILL / CAUSEY / DIXON / JACKSON /
RICHARDSON / TOLER
I have found two separate versions in print of who the parents of
Isaac and Thomas Jackson were. Do any of you thousands of cousins
have definite information on this? The Sumter Historical Society, SC,
has a different version from the John Jackson cited in our cousin
Minnie Lee Crum's DAR research.
BASS / MCCOY / ROLLINSON / STERLING /
TAYLOR
My great-grandmother, Eliza Jane Sterling, was first married to John
Rollinson, who died in the Civil War (We have long generations.). She
married Samuel Carlos Sterling in the 1860s. Her maiden name was supposed
to have been Taylor, according to my grandfather, Elias Hyde Sterling.
I believe her parents were Elias Taylor and Lavinia Bass, who were married
in Amite County in 1818, for several reasons. My grandfather and his
sister have the same names, Elias and Lavinia, and my grandfather once said
that his grandmother told him her daddy was Moses Bass. Lavinia was a
daughter of Moses Bass. I've never been able to find a record of Eliza's
marriage to John to confirm that her maiden name was Taylor. Does anyone
have a record of the marriage of Elizabeth Jane Taylor and John Rollinson
(Rawlinson)?

Kneeland/Neyland / McCraine / Rawlins / Shropshire / White
Brothers John & Joshua Kneeland born ca 1770 to father John Kneeland, probably
in NC. Migrated to GA, then Amite Co., MS where both sons married, John to
Martha Williams. By 25 Oct 1817, John has died & 3 or 4 of his sons go to
live with John's brother Joshua. There were 5 sons; Gilbert born 1795,
Middleton born1796, Williams born 29 Aug 1803, Robert born 1797 & John born 23
Apr 1812. It appears Gilbert married 8 July 1819 & so wouldn't have lived
with Joshua; Middleton also married about that time to wife #1 Sallie McCoy
perhaps 27 Feb 1817, which leaves Williams, Robert & John to live with their
uncle. Now, some researchers say that this child John is actually Joshua's son on the
1820 census. John marries Elizabeth Owens then he dies 1867.
Does anyone have any proof as to whose child John actually is?

Gardner, Goldie and Gary. Young children Will and Hazel are buried in the old
Cemetary in Caldwell, Texas. It is believed that William and Eola are also
buried in the old Cemetary in Caldwell, Texas. Thank you.
Also Interested in corresponding with anyone researching surname JOHNS. W.F. and
W.D. JOHNS are shown on 1880 census in Liberty Village, Amite Cty. MS. My
ggrandmother Eola Victoria GARDNER was listed as living with W.F. and his
family. Her Marriage Bond to William Franklin GAY was witnessed in 1881 by
W.D. JOHNS. I'm trying to find out the relationship between the JOHNS families
and my "Granny GAY" Thanks a lot. Rex
