It was my understanding that they all setled in Green County about 1810.

Comments:I appreciate all the hard work you have put into making this website. Lots of great information. May have a few pictures to contribute. My grandmother was Melissa Jane Dunnam (1912 - 2011). I just recently (since her passing) traced our family (Dunnam) back eleven generations. Very interesting, to say the least! Thanks again.

Children of Melissa Jane Dunnam and Ed Douglas:
Anne Douglas
Mae Belle Douglas
Edward Douglas Jr.

I know the first names of all their children and some of the grandchildren, but not all of whom they married.

Thanks again and God bless you.

Wish I knew more about my grandfather and where his family came from. Was able to trace the Dunnam's 11 generations back. Lovin' it. Thanks again for all your hard work.

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!

I believe that Nicey Turner's family lived in Green County, Mississippi which leads me to believe that John W. Moore may have lived there as well.

Hope you are doing well and are in good health these days.
I recently (within the last 6-12 months or so) sent in some pictures of the Richard Samuel Henderson family,including picture of the Henderson Ole Place at Indian Hill,, and some other pictures of the individual family members. I believe I also sent some pictures of the William Drury Eubanks ole place in Vernal. I was wondering if these pictures are going to be published on your website? If you need me to resend the pictures, I will be glad to glad to resend them to you.

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.

Comments:Rev. Dunnam:
You are doing a great job! I contacted you several years ago when you were just beginning this project. I think my Williams ancestors lived on the MS/AL (near Mobile) line: my great-great grandfather, Jonothan C. Williams, b. 1810, m. Lucrecia Mason in Mobile, 1833. Great grandfather, son, was Francis Roundtree Williams, b. 1840, m. Mary Jane Lewis, also in Mobile. Francis was living in Greene Co. in the 1880 census, also his father, Jonothan. I believe that Jonothan died in Greene Co. because when I was visiting the court house several years ago, I found some land records after his death in c. 1891.
I will continue to check this excellent source and hope to find more information and connections. Pauline Barrow
