WAX, STARNES, BURCH, DAVIS, STENNIS
Hello there! I'm hoping to find some interesting info about the families:
I was born in Aberdeen, MS in 1948, and Nina, my sister was born in 1951.
My father, John Andrew Wax, was born in Maben, MS in 1910 and Mama (Mary
Lee Starnes) was born in Mathiston, MS in 1915 or 1916. Her Mama was Bessie
Burch (from the Indianola area) and she's a bit of a mystery. Mother's father
was "Tuck" Starnes who owned a lumber mill in West Point. Daddy's
father owned a merchantile store in Maben. Daddy's mother was Lela Davis,
I think. She had a sister, Nina Stennis. It would be nice to find living
family. Oh, there is a Wax in Amory. Daddy had a brother, H. O. Wax, who
lived in Starkville. My mother had a sister, Jennie, and brother, Bill.
There is also a lady that I met only once, Wyatt (?) Starnes, Mama's cousin.
She may still be living and I'd really love to see her again
