Driver, White--My descendant William J Driver and his family lived in Corinth from the 1850s until the end of the century.  Mr. Driver built what is now called the O.C. Smith House in Corinth (I think that's the name of it).  He had kids including my Great-grandfather, Andrew Howard Driver.  A. H. Driver had five kids...and that is the nature of my inquiry.  I have accounted for everybody with a lot of info, except for one of AH kids, who I have almost nothing on..I was hoping you might have a marriage or death record or something.  Her name was Mary "Mollie" Varina Driver.  She was born in 1865, the youngest of five kids of A. H. Driver (4 survived).  Her older sister, Eliza Driver, married a man named Frank White in 1883, but then died 7 months later.  White then married her sister, according to White Family records.  They have his new wife as sister Sarah Driver, but Sarah died at 11 months old.  The only sister he could have married was Mary Driver...the third sister is accounted for.  The last record of her is the 1880 census which has her living at home, albeit with incorrect age.  All I know beyond that is that Frank White ended up living and dying in Colo..presumably with his wife...  Also, there is an old family bible that lists her death in 1925..but with no explanation.   Can you help? if so, please email me.  Thanks a lot, Andy Brandon. andybrandon33@hotmail.com     ^09-03

Stuart/Stewart, Snow, McCullough/McCullock--I have been trying to find my Stuart family.  I have started with practically no info, but I have a few clues and I was hoping someone could get me through this brick wall.  Meredith Leonard Stuart was my great great grandfather.  I was able to find that Meredith was born in Iuka, MS, approximately 1858.  I found this from his marriage license to Ethinda Snow when they married in Mount Vernon, IL, December 25, 1880.  I was told when I tried to find the birth records in Tishimingo Co. that the records were spread between Prentiss and Alcorn counties for the1860.  I also need to add that Meredith had a sister Leona Stuart, but her birthdate is unknown.  Meredith died in Spokane, WA, and was mentioned with the name Charley...  Also, Meredith's father was Andrew Jackson Stuart, his signature.  Of course it is recorded as Andrew Jackson Stewart, A. J. Stuart, and A. J. Stewart and when signed up with the Mississippi cavalry he was listed as Jackson Stuart.  Andrew may have joined the Confederate cavalry, company K, 2nd regiment in 1863 in Atalla county.  While Andrew was away serving in the Confederate cavalry, his wife was killed and the children were left on a railroad siding.  What cities were on the rail road lines in that area?  The children, or at least Meredith, went to stay with a family named McCullough/McCullock where he was given the nickname of "Charley" Stuart.  When Andrew came home he couldn't find his wife or children.  So where did he go?  I understand there were pensions  issued to the Confederate vets.  Where are the records?  Another thought was that it was said Andrew was killed at Seven pines, but if he hadn't joined up until 1863, was that possible, since the battle of Seven Pines was in 1862, but in Seven Pines, Texas, was the last battle of the Civil War, and those that were defeated merely laided down their arms and went home.  Can someone know how to find the birth record for Meredith?  Find a census record for 1850, 1860, 1870 1880?  Have pension record info?  Find the wife/mother's name?  Andrew and his wife's birth places?  Anything to find the family and perhaps Andrew had a second family.  I would love to get enough information to find the living descendants.  Can anyone offer me help?  Chris Fox, Mount Vernon, WA.  foxhunt@gte.net    ^04-02
Who would I write for birth records for 1858?  I discovered from my great grandfathers marriage license that he was born in Iuka, MS, in 1858, Tishomingo County.  His name was Merideth Leonard Stuart/Stewart.  I know his father's name was listed as Andrew Jackson Stuart/Stewart.  I would like to find connections.  Merideth also had a sister Leona.  Possibly Andrew had a brother, John, and a sister, Leona.  I have no idea who Andrew's wife was or where he was from.  I am hoping that I can get information to break down this brick wall.  I was told that Andrew Jackson Stuart (his spelling) may have joined the confederate cavalry in 1863 at Attala county.  I have a service record.  It was also mentioned that Andrew's wife was killed and the children were left on a railroad siding.  They were taken in by a family named McCullough/McCullock... where Merideth got the nickname of Charley.  It is maddening to have names and dates but missing places to search.  This is about all I have for information.  Any help?  Thank you for your kind attention.  Chris Fox, Mount Vernon, WA.  foxhunt@gte.net    ^06-02

Carter, Lumbley, Hancock--I am looking for John E. R. Carter born in 1825.  He married Elizabeth Lumbley in 1844 or 1845.  I don't know where they married.  Elizabeth was born in Tennessee, maybe Hickman Co. .They are listed in the 1845 census of Tishomingo Co., MS, page #18.  They had a son Thomas Carter in 1845 in MS.  He married Mary Hancock in Alcorn Co., MS, in 1867.  John and Elizabeth had these children: Nancy Carter born 1846, MS, James Carter born in 1849, Mary Carter born in 1850, and John Carter born in 1852.  They are listed in 1850 census of Tippah Co., MS, image 119.  In 1860 Elizabeth is listed with her children and alone.  John E. R. Carter is listed in probate court, 1854-1855.  I would like to know where he is buried and why he died so young.  Can anyone do some research on this family.  I ordered 24 copies of probate court records, but couldn't read them.  Any help would be much appreciated.  I live in Oklahoma.  Thanks so much, Deloris. jpbranch@ok.azalea.net    ^04-02
