BUSTIN: Would someone who lives in Lauderdale Co. be willing to go to Salem Baptist Church cemetery and look up a marker to be sure the transcription of a name & dates to the cemetery record book I looked at is correct? My gg grandmother was Amanda Elizabeth BUSTIN b Oct 2, 1845 d Jul 6, 1888. She married William Washington COATS May 1, 1867 in Lauderdale Co. My great grandfather William Pollock COATS was born in 1868 in Lauderdale Co. On the 1870 census, Amanda & William were living with her parents James & Elizabeth. We had always been told that Amanda died & William was raised by James & Elizabeth. But this tombstone says otherwise and even says she married an EASON (This may really be BUSTIN, the lettering is so similar I think it just may have been hard to read.) So I really would appreciate it if someone had the time to take a look. Thanks so much. Kay Parker McCary, Milam, Sabine County, TEXAS

CROOK & WILLIAMS...My great-grandfather was Lewis Edmund Crook, the first CPA in the State of Mississippi, who lived in Meridian from approximately 1887 until his death in 1931. He was also president of the Meridian Rotary Club and participated in the stage productions and musicals in the early 1910's. One of his sons (my grandfather) was Robert Hall Crook, also a CPA, whose office was in the Threefoot Building. He was married to Agnes Stuckey in 1920. I am seeking information on another great-great-grandfather of mine, Samuel S. Williams, who was born in GA in 1836 and died in Meridian in 1921. He was married to Frances Richter in 1866 and came to Meridian shortly after. They had three girls...Anne Eliza (1868- ) who married Robert A. Hall; Mary Elingus ("Ellie") who married L. E. Crook; and, Frances Richter ("Fannie") who married William Newton Jones. SS Williams was engaged in manufacturing with a Mr. Golden. Samuel Williams was with the 46th Mississippi Infantry Regiment during our War for Southern Independence. Is there anyone who knows more about his service as a RR engineer for the M&O Railroad during the War?

OTT - I am researching the OTT family of Dale and Clarke counties, Alabama. A descendant of my OTTS - Richard Ott b. 1805, SC, and his wife Ann (?) were listed on the 1860 Lauderdale Co., MS. censu record. Children listed on the census in this household were William, Martha, Mary, and Daniel OTT. Daniel, the youngest child, was listed as age 3 and born in MS. So, Richard and Ann OTT must have left Dale Co., AL., before 1857. By the 1870 Lauderdale Co., MS census, Ann was listed as the wife of Andrew JOHNSON. I would like to correspond with anyone who has information on this family. I am willing to share my information. May 1, 1997.
