HOLLIS posted by Rex Hollis on Thursday, April 27, 2000: My GGGrandfather was BRUNSON HOLLIS, and is listed in your 1841 census for TALLAHATCHIE COUNTY. I have tried for years to find information on the name of his wife, and your listing is the first time I have even seen a reference to her. I believe her name may have been Eleanor, but had no document that confirms this. Brunson is listed in Marion County AL in 1850, with no wife. She gave birth to a son Daniel in 1841 in MS. Any help you could give would be most appreciated. My name is REX HOLLIS, RexHollis@msn.com.
