Streat Karen M Raichle Sun, 29 Nov 1998 18:43:17 Searching for any connections to the James Barnett ALLEN family who was in Rena Laura, Coahoma Co., MS sometime between 1900-1910. Traveling with James B Allen was his mother in law, Rhoda A DENNIS, his mother America E ADCOCK Allen, his sister Ina ALLEN and husband George W BROWN. Would love to hear from anyone who might know something about these people during their time in MS. They had come from Jackson Co., TN to pick cotton. Perhaps they ended up in Coahoma Co., MS because they had family already there. Please contact me if you have anything to share on this group. Thanks in advance.

ELISHA married Louisa (Louisanna) Jane ALFORD, one of the daughters of WILEY ALFORD and SOPHIA VALENTINE DRAKE in Wilson Co., on or about April 16, 1827. They were divorced May 3, 1834 in that county. He was in serious financial difficulties also, for which his brother, ROBERT CRUDUP (my direct ancestor) was security. ROBERT later moved to Perry County, TN, representing that county in the TN State Legislature. Elisha appears in the 1850 census of COAHOMA COUNTY, MS. He is supposed to have migrated from MS to TX. A number of present day Crudups claim descent from ELISHA. The divorce decree refers to no children and the will of Wiley Alford (in which he made generous bequests to children and grandchildren, including Louisa, who was then remarried to Benjamin B.B. Walker) mentions no Crudup grandchildren, while mentioning other motherless ones. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Chandra Duncan-Scott  Sun, 1 Mar 1998 01:09:48 I am looking for information on the "STIMAGE" family. More specifically, Calvin T. STIMAGE. Information indicates they may have lived on the King Anderson Plantation (Friar's Point) in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Family lore has it that a flood in that area, occurring around 1928-29 caused a separation of some African-American slave families. Many Stimages are said to have remained in this area. Since Clarksdale is in Coahoma County, I decided to try a search for information here. The King Anderson Plantation is supposed to still be in existence (at least about 3 years ago it was). Ruth Trevathan Delvige Thur Dec 04 00:41:36 Re Tom DELLVAGE or Tom DELVIGE The Family Tree Maker shows a Tom DELVIGE married 9 Sep 1872 to Nellie Hardy. The Latter Day Saints Family History Center shows same marriage, but spells name as DELLVAGE. My husband's grandfather born May 4, 1850 William Henry DELVIGE, is as far back as we can go. He came to Texas as a young kid maybe 10 yrs. old. He couldn't read, write or spell. When asked his name, he told them, and they guessed at how it was spelled at the Clerk's office in Bastrop, Tx. Can you please advise me how I can go about finding this Tom DELVIGE/DELLVAGE. Since he married in 1872, and William Henry was born 1850, they could easily be brothers or cousins. Will appreciate your reply.

By that time, Willie was married to Maebelle and we do not know what happened to Annie TAYLOR.

JOHNSON, en electrical contractor there. Susan Thomas GILBERT was my mother's mother. I am also looking for information on my father's family - the JOHNSONs from around Neshoba County.
