Winston County Kin
published by Louis Taunton in
the Louisville Journal.
Lanita Sconce Miller, 3117 South Wichita, Wichita, KS 67217,
email:
<ozarkn@southwind.net> is searching in Winston and Noxubee Counties for
the
parentage of three boys: Elias "Eli" DETHROW (born 1825-26);
David DOTHEROW (born 1825 - settled in Noxubee County); and Joseph C.
DETHERO/DETHERROW (born 1821 and settled in Winston County for a while).
All three were products of their father's first marriage. When their
mother died (drown in a boating/raft accident, after 1826 and before 1840), the
father remarried. When the father died, the stepmother sent the boys away
because she had children from her marriage to this same father.
Mrs. Miller is also searching for three DETHROW children born to Eliza A.
S.
ALSUP DETHROW and Eli DETHROW. The children got separated from their
father after 1860 when their mother died in 1859 in Calhoun County, MS.
Their names were: Susan (born 1852); Mary A. (born 1849); and Thomas
(born 1853); all
were born in either Calhoun or Yalobusha Counties, MS. Last name could
be
spelled DETHERO or as many as 50 different ways. The children may also
have been
sent to be raised by the ALSUPS, and their last name may have been changed
to ALSUP.
She is also searching for any descendants of Joseph C. DETHERROW (born 1820)
who married Mary JOHNSON on 29 Dec 1841 in Winston County. Mary died in
childbirth, and his second marriage was to Sarah McCRACKIN in 1850 in Winston
County. She is looking for his descendants, as well as his final resting
place or any information on his death.
Jim Huffman, 1230 Stemwood Drive, Picayune, MS 39466,email
<huffman@ametro.net> is looking for photos of Henry James GULLY (of
"Bloody
Kemper" fame) other than the one published in the recent Kemper County history
book, which is presumed to be H. J. GULLY, but is not substantiated.
Mr. Huffman knows because he is the one who originally found the picture!
Henry died in Louisville in 1913 and is his GGG-Grandfather. Mr. Huffman is
also ten years into researching the 43rd MS Infantry (in which H. J. GULLY was
a captain) for a regimental history. He believes several vets of Company
K from Kemper County moved to Winston County, as did Henry. Any letter,
diary, or photographic material retlated to these 43rd MS vets would be greatly
appreciated.
<www.43rdmississippi.homestead.com/index.html> is the web site for the
43rd MS and Mr. Huffman will be willing to answer any questions that he can
about this regiment and its soldiers.
Gary Aikens, 203 Channing Trail, Warner Robbins, GA 31088, email
<gaikens1@home.com> is looking for any information about the AIKENS
family. He wants to know if anyone knows the history of the parents of John
Howard AIKENS (born 28 June 1850 and died 19 July 1932). John Howard
AIKENS married
Martha (Mattie) CHANDLER HAYNES on 3 March 1880 in Winston County.
Mr Aikens wonders if there are any cousins who may know interesting facts
about the AIKENS or HAYNES families.
Lisa Stark, Route 3, Box 166A-1, Pauls Valley, OK 73075
email, <starky@brightok.net> is seeking information about her
GG-Grandmother, Frances (Fannie) WEIR BARRON, born about 1824-26. She
would like to know anything about Fannie's family and what happened to
them.
Fannie married Almon BARRON in Winston County in 1847, he died in 1863
after
Vicksburg. Fannie had to sell their farm in 1866 and Mrs. Stark then loses
track of
Fannie after that. She wonders what happened to Fannie and all her
children
after 1866 and where did they do and how did they get by?
Billie Michelli, 4666 Lake Lawford Court, Baton Rouge, LA 70816, email
<billievenure@home.com> relates that two sons of Clarissa LeFLEUR WILSON
and
John James WILSON were accused of trying to kill Alfred LEECH (their mother's
new husband) after the death of their father. This happened in Winston
County in the 1830s. Any information on this family would be greatly
appreciated.
