Mary Lois S. Ragland is already a well-known author of Heritage Books on Mississippi, namely Fisher Funeral Home Records, Vicksburg, Mississippi, 1854-1867 and Spreading the Word: Mississippi Newspaper Abstracts of Genealogical Interest, 1825-1935. In the latter, compiled for the Vicksburg Genealogical Society, Jane J. Williams was credited for her contributions. In this book, Williams and Ragland present the names of the complainants (the plaintiffs, decedents or minors) in alphabetical order, usually grouped on the surnames' first two letters (i.e. Ab, Ac, Ad, Ai, and Al, All, etc.). The unique probate number (the book covers numbers 1 to 9999) assigned to each complainant by the court appears next to his or her name, enabling the researcher to request a copy of the right file directly from the Warren County Chancery Clerk, or to look it up on microfilm. As an extra service, the authors have prepared an every-name index to the names of the defendants, administrators, or guardians who appear in a column next to the complainants. This index in particular may allow the researcher to find an ancestor acting in a hitherto unsuspected role, as guardian to a minor for instance, towards someone whose unfamiliar surname might give a clue to a forgotten branch of the family.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMary Lois S.

Established in the county seat of Carthage in 1872, \u003cem\u003eThe Carthaginian\u003c\/em\u003e has chronicled happenings in Central Mississippi since that time. This book consists of chronological abstracts of genealogical value gleaned from the earliest existing issues to the turn-of-the-century. The author cites more than births, deaths, and marriages. Among the types of items appearing in the book are: social notes on visiting relatives, or Leake Countians traveling to visit kin in other places; notes on illnesses, accidents, fires, and other disasters; comments by the editors or the correspondents referring to the character of individuals; articles on new homes, businesses, change of occupation, or people moving into or out of the area; advertisements of local businesses and products; elections, poll workers and public officials; school events and honor students; club meetings, church events and veterans reunions; court cases, court notices and homestead notices. Although the abstracts do not start until the early 1870s, references to the early years of Leake County are found in the letters to the editor, death notices, and other items. With the references in the homestead notices, the researcher may obtain land patent documents through the National Archives. Also valuable are items showing the movement of people from place to place in the late 1800s. These give clues to their whereabouts between the censuses and often give hints or reasons of why they moved. People from many other locations are mentioned in the book, since the newspaper copied items from other weeklies about happenings in the neighboring counties of Neshoba, Scott, Attala, Holmes, and other parts of the state.

With its colonial genesis rooted in indentured servitude, first as servants, then later as masters, the Perkins family rose to heights unattainable to them in a rigidly structured seventeenth and eighteenth century English society. As entrepreneurs and landed Southern colonial planters, they first acquired white servants, then Negro slaves, and eventually the affluence and privilege which rewarded their energy and determination. Separation from the social constraints of the mother country had thus allowed these later generations of Perkins men in America to progress and achieve. In America the family's success and wealth, both self-made and inherited, had increased through the decades with each generation laying the foundation on which successive generations flourished in Virginia and later in Tennessee and Mississippi. Tracing this generational story provides not just a historical glimpse into an evolving American world of entrepreneurship, affluence, and privilege, but also into the particular nature of the eighteenth and nineteenth century slaveholding American South. Indeed, the Perkins family exemplifies the caste of slaveholding Southern planter-aristocrats (heralded in the South yet often maligned in the North) whose limited numbers belied their significant contributions to the development of the agricultural South and to the texture of a maturing America. Their successes, limitations, faults, and failures became a part of the many personal and generational threads woven into the great American experience that they all shared.

In an effort to be as accurate as possible, the author listed each possible name spelling. Some wills are recorded in more than one county, the county of the testator and the county of an heir. Only a small number of people left wills and some were lost in courthouse fires or through other circumstances. Also wills were found in probate books, marriage books, inventory books, and other unusual places, so it is possible that some wills escaped detection.

Some entries also have notes concerning further bequeathals, names of the will trustees, etc. Chapter Two consists of data compiled from the Port Gibson Property List, 1846-1858, and documents the slave's first name, the owner's names (both husband and wife), the slave's age, the date the information was recorded, and the slave's parents and siblings, if applicable. Additional notes here, again, concern further bequeathals, names of the will trustees, etc. The final chapter focuses on information found in Certificates for Slave Sales, 1858-1860. Here the author found slaves who had been purchased in Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee who were then taken to Claiborne County to be sold.

Each record gives the name of the original grantee, the present claimant, date of the grant, patent or commissioner's certificate, acreage, location of the grant, evidence of grant fulfillment, and remarks. Not every record comes with embellishments; however, those that do, provide evidence concerning the age of the grantee, date of original survey, names of relatives, and\/or witnesses. Researchers on the trail of 18th-century ancestors in the American southeast will encounter over 1,000 in this work; however, they must consult the name index at the end of each of Mr. Smith's three original booklets in order to find them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClifford Neal Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(1996), 2004, 8\" x 11\", paper, 156 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806352411\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e102-9836\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32100482318454,"sku":"102-9836","price":35.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-9836.png?v=1745011050"},{"product_id":"117-ms17","title":"History of Grenada County, Mississippi","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrenada County, Mississippi was created from lands ceded from the Choctaw Indians in 1833, even though the county was not officially created until the 1870s.
