| Comments: | I've just read your guestbook and enjoyed it, as well as exploring your website. My great-grandfather was Osborn Hillman, married to Missouri Turner. I found the Turner family, but nothing on the Hillman side. And, two of their sons married sisters in the Sowell family, Hydle and Allie, and they are related to the Dunnam family. Perhaps you and I are related! I will be visiting Greene County soon, so perhaps we could meet. |

| Comments: | Hello, my name is Tonya Moseley Jones. I just read your "Descendants of Edward Davis" chart and I have to tell you that I was quite upset about one part of it. My brother-in-law is (#89 on your chart) Billie Ray Dunnam, son of Bilbo Dunnam. The reason that I'm upset is because you have Billie down (not spelled Billy) as having 2 wives, but he has only had one. She is Rosemary Moseley (not Mosley) my sister. The person you have down as his second wife, is his ex- daughter-in-law Robyn Dalton, wife of Jonnathan (not Jonathan) Wayne Dunnam. This could cause very much damage in the years to come to Billie and Rosemary's grandchild Temple Dunnam, because it will be on the internet that her grandfather is actually her father. It really upsets me to no end for people to post unsubstantiated material over the internet, mainly because people just take it as fact. Please sir, do your research before posting, and if possible....please correct the mistakes that I have mentioned. Thank you |

| Comments: | Hi, I'm just begining research on my Noel Turnerb. 1764 NC family that settled in Greene co., MS in the early 1800's before migrating to Mobile co., AL I'm descended from Noel's son John "Jack" Turner b. 1805 SC and his wife Melinda Denny b. 1804 GA(d/o Walter Denny Sr.and wife Lucinda Faggart) I'm also descended on my mother's side from Noel's daughter Sarah Turner who married Jacob Pierre Baptiste of Mobile co.,AL Noel Sr. stated in his pension application that he had lived at "Leaf River, Mississippi Territory, Greene county for 5 years and "Chickasamba (Chickasawhay?) Greene co. for 2 years moving to head of Seder (Cedar?) Creek in Jackson co., MS before moving to Mobile. Noel Sr. brother John Turner died in SC 1805 and John's son William Turner moved his widowed mother to Greene co., MS. Two of the early land patents in Greene co. were to John Turner, one issued 9/1/1846. I believe this to be land of John "Jack" Turner and wife Melinda nee: Denny. Jack died young in 1843 and left Melinda a widow with six children. I can't find death record or newspaper account for Jack and I'm thinking it may be in early Greene county records or newspapers. If anyone knows anything about this family I'd love to share! |

| Comments: | Great site. Hope someone from Greene can give me information on Ezra Lukee Brewer (b 1917) or his family line of Bazilla J Brewer (b 1885)or John L Brewer (b 1857) or Nathan Brewer (b 1826). Particularly interested into what happened to Ezra after returning from the UK following WW2 as he was stationed in my local town, Wem, Shropshire and was known to the family.
Many thanks in anticipation. Ann |

| Comments: | Love your site. I am a desc of Thomas Sumerall & the Slays. I am working on the Davis Family of Greene Co, MS. As the years go by, I still return to your well researched info & my books from Strickland/Edwards. Any leads on the James Davis Jr B. 1804 marr Elizabeth (not Elizabeth Worthy)& his parents (Sr & Lydia) needed. Seeking of course Edward & Jane McCann Davis. Trying to connect all the Rosier Davises. Seeking Bible records/photos. I saw you grew up in Indian Hill. People talk about the old Paulding Rd (now Shady Hollow) & the Devils Backbone (huge hill that was a nightmare for wagons). And of course the female ghost that walks Paulding Rd- she just comes right out in the road & crosses. Anyway, I love Greene Co- I live in Wayne Co, MS near the county line. |

| Comments: | I would like to commend you for a job well done. I can't imagine how much time it took you to get this together. My grandmother and grandfather as well as my mohter's family all came from stateline Miss. I'm an African American searching for my roots and as you probably know it is extremely difficult to track down info. As far as I know my grandmothers name was Lucy Johnson and her mother was apparently married to a white man who's family owned some kind of a general store and perhaps a mill in Stateline or somewhere in Greene County. My fathers last name was Smith but apparently his family originated in Mobile. I would be interested in communicating with you further about the history of Greene County. Further, I would like to know whether this was an area where people owned slaves. My research so far seems to indicate that many of the people in the county did not have the means to own slaves and that the land did not appear to be condusive for large scale farming.
I would like to thank you for your facinating site. I will keep reading it. God Speed. Sincerely, Larry T. Hunter |

| Comments: | Mr Dunnam,
Your website is a great contribution to the history of Greene County. My maternal grandparents were Richard S. Henderson and Idus Smith Henderson who lived in Indian Hill. I have many stories to share of their old place, and the good times had had there. (I have put together some recollections of that era and entitled them "The Indian Hill Tom Tom.) Keep up the good work and I am still looking for the picture of the Henderson old place. |

| Comments: | Hello, Rev. Dunham. I have not corresponded with you for years. I started working on the McLean/McLain line again this week and came upon your website. You have done an amazing job putting all of that information together. I am descended from Alexander McLean through John Alexander and Nathaniel Alexander, whose youngest son was William Nelson McLain, born March 1, 1915. William Nelson is my father. I have always hoped we could get the McLean line back to Scotland, but it looks like we are stuck with Angus. Keep up your wonderful work. |

I grew up with a cousin named Bill Dunnam later shot by his crazy wife. Bill and my Uncle Charles and Claude Smith were best of friends. Bill and I hunted together. I hunted in what we called the old bay right by the old Dunnam place. As a child I remember a large artisan well across the road from the Dunnams. Spent as much time in Greene Co. growing up as we did living in Mobile. Relatives includes Smith, Turner, Neels, Averas, Kittrells, Brewers, Byrds, Dunnam, Daughtrill |
