Lee,

Thanks much for the information. You said that Hannah and Robert are buried in
Union Co., MS. My question is, was it named Union County at the time they lived
there or has the name changed since then? Miller has it listed as "Tippah
County." Is that wrong, or is it just that the name has changed?

Thanks again,
Steven J. Coker
