Abraham--my guess is that he married Malinda Mullins on October 10, 1819 and
moved to LA where there appears to still be decendants of the Lobdell

second wife.
While I wish all of the Lobdell's well, I am trying to document whose
daughter Malinda Mullins was. If, as I think, she was the d

Where would I look for land records for the following 2 situations:
1. Beginning in 1836 on to 1852 William Prather, in partnership with Turnstall, of Turnstall and Co, merchants in Grand Gulf, MS. began selling off house lots in Grand Gulf--records properly recorded at the Courthouse.
Now, where would I find when and how these men got possession of the land (city lots) that they sold? I checked the direct and reverse land deeds transactions from 1805 to 1850. I checked the url for the US Bureau of Lan
In reference to the Simon Lobdell genealogy, a typescript of a letter written by John L. Lobdell of West Baton Rouge, LA in 1859 to a John Lobdell states that James Lobdell died before 1821. James had married Mary Venable in Stephenstown, NY before coming to Miss. His daughter Mary married 1st John Walker, and 2nd John Gorman. One of James' daughters was reputed to have married a "Stotts" and moved to Texas.
Abraham married Sarah Kennard apparently in Miss. then moved to the Parish of E. Baton Rouge

Have you seen anything on Shirley's in your research. We recently found that
my husband's grandfather was born in Mississippi and we have reason to
believe it was in the Claiborne/Jefferson/Adams Co area. He was born about
1865.
Thank you, Mary

So true; it is truly heartbreaking; with our ships there I wonder how long
our gov't thought it was going to take before a terrorist group
tried/accomplished a vicious mission? I thought we were out of there.
There's nothing that can be said to console those parents/families-nothing
said or done can take away the heartache and it will always be there. Only
knowing their babies are with God is the only consolation. My younger boy
starts his service in June and I realize all I can do is pray for him and
all.

Here is one answer:
The record that I have indicates that:
One Mary Lobdell married John Boles in Claiborne County on February 8, 1819.
Another Mary Lobdell married Wm Estes in Warren County on August 21, 1828 and
Mary Ann Lobdell married Elijah Harper in Warren County on September 19,1848.
Sounds like a winner! frances

Among the attractive homes near Port Gibson is Hollyrood, which is on a site
about 2 miles south of Port Gibson on the old Natchez Trace. The land on
which it stands was once a part of a tract of land known in the records as
"Abijah Hunt's Bayou Pierre Plantation". After various partitions of this
huge estate, what is the present place became the property of Israel Spencer,
a pioneer from Connecticut, who built the present dwelling about 18

Seriously, if you're interested, call Brigham Young University, in Provo,

Keeping in mind...ten (10) yrs ago there was little *genealogy* on

I replied privately (I think) to another person on the list about how we can
show some appreciation to those who serve our country. Perhaps others can
add to this, but when service men & women are away from home, little things
can mean a lot. If you have a family member in one of our Armed Forces and

and send it (with a letter of introduction) to the unit commander to

I've noticed, as time has passed, that the name 'Keziah' is one which is

and/or its origins? I had previously thought it rather unique.
Thanks so much for that explanation. I'll have to make a special trip to
the library now!
