| Comments: | I am related to the Kittrells and Brelands through Nancy Kittrell Johnson (1884-1957) daughter of Johnathan Kittrell (1842-1912) and Matilda Catherine Breland (1847-1900). Nancy Kittrell was my grandmother. I'm interested in the Avera community and Mutual Rights Church, is there anything left of Avera ? How did the church get its name ? Are there still Brelands and Kittrells living in the area ?
Thanks so much Brett Johnson Rapidan, VA |

| Comments: | I am researching William Womack Blankenship who was a resident of Greene County in 1816 until his death in 1831. He was approved for a Revolutionary War Pension for service of three years in Virginia, was also prisoner of war to the British. His burial is in Mobile. His son William A Blankenship was also a resident of Greene County at that time. I am also researching Henry Snelgrove. I believe his daughter Theana was married to William A Blankenship. Henry Snelgrove and Womack Blankenship appear on two census records as neighbors. I am finding limited records on the internet, so hopefully in a month or so I am planning a trip over there to try to search at the courthouse, unless you know any volunteer lookup people. I can find no evidence of marriage or land records on the internet and not sure if I should search records in Leaksville or the Mississippi State Archives. Any advice would be appreciated. |

I grew up in Leakesville, graduating in 1969 and still have many family ties there and in Vernal. I am part of a family team researching history on the William D. and Emma Williams Moulds family of Vernal. His last name could possibly have been spelles Moles. Your work provided a lot of insite into the history of the area. I went through most of the pages and found links to some of my relatives. It was really interesting to see how the area came to be. I can imagine it took you quite some time putting this together and I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate and applaud nyour efforts! Thank you for the good work. |

| Comments: | Thank you so very much for a wonderful site! I'm researching our family tree, which goes back to Alexander Fairley. You have provided great, accurate information and a very professional website. Many larger communities could profit from your expertise. Any additional information concerning the "Fairley Clan" would be appreciated. It's difficult when the courthouse and records are destroyed, as apparently happened far to often. Again, thank you for all future generations searching for their roots. The Mississippi hospitality shines thru! |

| Comments: | Good website and good work. However, it is a know fact that the McInnis's were the first settlers of Leakesville and either you did not think it was worth mentioning it (maybe it wasn't worth mentioning), or you did not know what was and is common knowledge but most old timers or who knows!
Anyway, The first family to settle in Leakesville was the McInnis family. J. J. McInnis, familiarly known as "Jack" or "Uncle John" had originally come from Scotland. He lived 7 miles east of Red Hill place where he was the only white man in the vicinity for some time. Numerous Choctaws and other Indians occasionally paid him a visit. The next settlers of Leakesville were the Greens, Francis James Green, who had the first general store in Leakesville. The first post office was established in Leakesville in 1840, and John McInnis ran it. |
