of the migration of 50 or so families from Amite Co, MS to Sabine Co, TX
in the 1840s and 1850s. I primarily have information about the following

ANDERSON / DEMPSEY / GREENSBERRY / WILLIAMS
I am searching for descendents of my ggg-grandparents Sandy ANDERSON
and Mariah GREENSBERRY. I have found traces of the family in Bolivar,
Amite and Washington Counties in Mississippi. I am unsure if the
couple ever married. It is my belief they did not.
Mariah married Louis Greensberry in Pulaski county Illinois. The only
known child of Sandy and Mariah was Peter Anderson.
I believe I may have found Sandy in census records in Amite County,
Mississippi in 1870 and 1880. I would like to make contact with his
descendents for verification. This family consisted of the following
members in 1870: Anderson, Sandy age 41 born in LA, Caroline, wife age
27 born in LA, Lacruse age 17 born in LA, Taylor age 11 born in LA, and
Ellard or E Loyd age 4 born in LA.
Peter Anderson was born Dec 25 1843 in Mississippi. He married
Rosetta DEMPSEY. She was born in Arkansas probably in the 1840's or
1850's. They resided in Bolivar County, Mississippi in the 1880
census. A court documents states Peter was from Mound Bayou, MS. In
the 1880 Bolivar county census children of Peter and Rosetta were
Fred, Preston, Rosetta, Sandy, Mariah, James (female) and Silas.
There was another daughter named Peter that I am especially interested
in. I have been told she married and remained in Mississippi when the
family migrated north to Illinois. Daughter James married James
WILLIAMS and had one daughter, It is not know what happened to her
after that. I would like to correspond with anyone having information on these
ancestors.

I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather, Winfield Clay Travis.

1880 census shows Beatrice as head of household. Winfield moved the entire
family to Louisiana before 1890. I am searching for the names of their
parents. I believe that they were born in Amite Co. also. Absolutely any
information would be appreciated. Thanks. [Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70820]
ANDERSON
Want information about a James Anderson who died in April, 1822.
He was probably born ca.1850 in TN. or N.C. He had a son Isaac, b. 1785 in N.C.
and sons Asa and John and a daughter Sarah born in GA. He might have married a second
time to Elizabeth and had two more children. Thanks for any help. Someone has
questioned whether the James Anderson who died the same time as our James Anderson
(in Bible) in Amite Co. could have been the same.
