Johnson III Thursday, February 10, 2000 I am looking for exact locations of former dwellings that were built
and occupied by my ancestors in Wilkinson County.
(1) The original SEMPLE house "Desert" still exists in Pincneyville,
MS. It was built ca. 1811. Currently a B&B. No problem to find.
(2) Another SEMPLE Mansion- "Wyoming"- was built
ca. 1840. It was a beautiful 3 story plantation home that burned in early
1900-10. All I know is that it was located 10 miles SE of downtown
Woodville. Possibly some bricks remain from what once was a beautiful
house!
(3) "Bowling Green" was the McGEHEE Plantation. It was burned
by Yankees in 1864. Three of it's columns still survive today. Thanks to
the markers and Ms. Mary McGEHEE's efforts, it is easy to find.
(4) "Elleray" was the BURRISS home. It is located near Bowling
Green as Judge McGEHEE gave this land to his daughter (Sarah HOUSTON) when
she married John BURRIS. My parents have a painting of this home dating
from 1850. "Elleray" was built ca. 1831 and burned sometime between
1870-1900. Family members have been to this site in the 1980's, and
the land is now owned by a nice retired couple in Wilkinson Co. However,
no one can remember how to find the exact location.
Any Ideas Would Be Appreciated,,,, Thanks.
