Subject: [MSJEFFER-L] Dueling places

A duel occured in 1810 between Daniel Beasley, the sheriff of Jefferson County, and Samuel Frye, a lawyer. According to a letter from Samuel's brother, the duel occurred "opposite the mouth of Coles Creek a great distance from Port Gibson." Beasley lived in old Greenville.
I know that men often fought across the river on the Vidalia sandbar. Can anyone tell me where "opposite mouth of Coles Creek" is?

Thanks,
