Am searching for info on Norris, John Henry, and his wife, CARLOCK, Dicey E.  No dates available.  Their children were Curtise, Ebb, Bill, Jim, Johnny, Florence, Elmer, Jane, Bessie, and Fannie.  My best guess is that they were married around the turn of the century (1900).  Any info would be greatly appreciated.  Also, how can I get info from the latest Franklin County Census? I'm VERY new to this.  God bless you all!

I am looking into an ADAM CAR(R)AWAY I found on the 1850 Amite County Census:

Family #170:
Adam Caraway, 42, M, Farmer, $1500, born: TN married Judia Ann Coleman
J. A. Caraway, 35, F, born: Franklin Co., MS
Wm. J.M. Caraway, 19, M, born: Amite Co,. MS
John H. Caraway, 3, M, born: Amite Co., MS
Cascinda Caraway, 7/12, F, born: Amite Co., MS
Monroe Currents, 21, M , born: Amite Co., MS

I just learned that Adam Carraway's wife is Judia Ann COLEMAN born about 1815 in Franklin Co., MS. They married about 1829. She died about 1851 in Amite Co., MS. Now I am looking for the parents, siblings, etc on Judia Ann COLEMAN.

I can find no marriage record of J. A. in Amite Co., so I thought I'd query Franklin Co.
