Cheryl Higgins Tue Feb 18 10:37:21 1997 I am looking for information that may confirm/elaborate a family story about an antescendant named Charles HIGGINS - one of seven sons of a "well-off Mississippi family". According to this tale, six of these sons rought on the side of the Confederates during the civil war, and the seventh fought on the side of the Union. This seventh son was supposedly disowned, and some family decendants today reportedly still refer to the "six sons of the family Higgins from (Jackson?) Mississippi" when asking about a Higgins' background. We always respond that we are decended from the seventh brother Higgins. Charles Higgins was perhaps a captain in the Union army, may have been quite a drinker, and is supposed to have joined up with Kit Carson after the war setting up saloons in Kansas. He married one of Cary Nation's girls, and we think not much came of this marriage, at least in the way of children, as she is buried in Utah, and he is buried in Illinois. Any info?

SWTesh Tues Sept 16 14:44:28 1997 My G-G-Grandfather, Samuel LEIST owned Mound View Plantation is Issaquena County, MS, where the Little Sumflower River and the Yazoo River meet at the edge of the Delta National Forest. I have his passport (Swiss) where his father Jacques LEIST and moter Marie REBER along with many siblings immigrated to this country in 1846. I am fortunate enough to have pictures of him and his plandation, but do not know any information regarding siblings, Jacques, Jr., Marie, Elizabeth, Catherine. I do not know anything of his father Jacques or mother Marie or how they ended up in Mississippi. As many other people, I am intensely interested in knowing as much about my father's family as possible. For anyone interested I do have a complete family tree of Samuel LEIST and all the children he had, which were many. I am new to this pursuit, so I don't know what to do next.

Dave Thompson Sun Nov 23 23:14:24 1997 THOMPSON, TATE, FORESHEE, ROSS, McCLURGE, HIGGENBOTHAM Searching for the family of ELISHA MONROE THOMPSON, son of David Sherrell and Mary Brower Thompson. Elisha was born 15 JUN 1848 or 1847 in Winston County, MS and died Nov 1903. He married three times, lived in the MS Delta area, perhaps after the death of his first wife.

He had seven children, of which we have only five with names: Thomas M., Lillie, Dewey, Floyd or David and Fannie. The other two married a Gaither FORESHEE and a Vara ROSS. Fannie married A. J.
