MITCHELL
Looking for information on my grandfather, Robert Taylor Mitchell, and on
his mother Jane Mitchell (don't know her maiden name). He was born Dec 29,
1878 in Peoria (Amite County), Mississippi. He died December 27, 1963 in
Hobart (Kiowa County), Oklahoma. He was married Dec 17, 1902 to Liller
Viola Roberts in Hempstead County, Arkansas. 1880 Pontotoc County,
Mississippi lists Robert at age 1. He and his mother (Jane Mitchell), age
36, were living in the household of Joseph and Martha Terry. Robeert's
mother, Jane, was listed as the mother-in-law. Martha Terry was age 20 so
apparently Jane was only 16 years old when Martha was born. Robert's
mother, Jane, was listed as a widow in the 1880 census. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Sue Steward

Searching for information about the parents of Elizabeth Bales b. 1862 Liberty,
MS. Sister of James A. Bales born about 1850. James and Elizabeth were

BRABHAM / MIXON
My great great grandmother was Mary Armadilla Annadella BRABHAM. I have had trouble finding her father.
I was told her mother was Thursa Ann BRABHAM, daughter of Joseph BRABHAM. In the 1870 Amite census Mary
is listed in the same household as her mother, but her name is Annadella MIXON and Thursa last name is
still BRABHAM. This leads me to believe her father must be a MIXON. Mary was born in 1864. Her mother
was born in 1846 so I think Mary's father may have been around the same age as Thursa. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. Denham Springs, LA
BROWN / EVERETT / MARTIN / McGEHEE
We have gotten back to John McGehee (b: about 1842) married to Milissa McGehee (b: about 1845)
don’t know her maiden name (we believe they were from Amite County). It is our understanding they
had 21 children, we were able to locate 12 of those names in the 1880 census [Ellen (F), Mary Jane (F),
Marthia (F), Joseph (M), Georgiana (F), Johnie (M), Isaphine (F), Perler (F), Thomas (M), Andy (M),
Babe (M), Lucy (F)] Andy McGehee was about 2 years old and the last two children, Babe and Lucy we
believe are twins of 2 months. We are unable to figure out if the other 9 children were born before
or after those 12, we are wondering if some of them were born into slavery and sold prior to 1865?
Andy would’ve been born about 1878 and he eventually married Mary McGehee (b:?) (maiden name Martin).
They had 10 children: Estella (F), Eula (F), Ishman (M), Joe (M), L.H. (M), Mary (F), May Bell (F),
Melissa (F), Pearle (F), and Sam (M). Ishman McGehee married Emma McGehee (maiden name Everett) and
they had three children together: George McGehee (deceased), Rosia Lee McGehee (deceased), Ruby Lee
McGehee (married name Brown) – our family ancestor (deceased in 2000). Ruby Lee McGehee Brown had 13
children, of which 10 are still living. Those descendants of Ruby Lee McGehee Brown either live in
Pike County, MS or have moved out of Mississippi, most to Pennsylvania. If anyone is able to help me
find out more about Emma McGehee (Everett), find out more about the 9 children missing from John and
Milissa McGehee, and/or figure out if they were slaves and if the family goes back further than John
and Milissa or possibly a ship they were brought over on…it would be most appreciated. Look forward
to hearing from anyone out there, thank you so very much!
