I'm looking for information about my husband's grandmother. Her name was Mary Martha Smith "Mattie". She married first Thomas Hila James in Copiah County and second Luther Ernest Bailey in Lincoln County, MS. I am trying to find her parent's names. Some information gives her father as Joseph and her mother as Margaret Brooks. It looks as if she had a brother named Rowan and a sister who married a Parrott/Perritt.
She was born in 1877 and married very young the first time. She had two James children when she married Luther Bailey.
My husband also descends from the Vines Smith family who moved to Copiah County from Alabama. Vines daughter Sarah married Thaddeous Ferrell.
I'd love to find some connections to these families.
My families are mostly in Adams, Franklin, and Jefferson Counties. Among others, they are King, Dove, Dunbar, Stampley, and Swayze.

Emiko my grandmother came from Como, which is in Panola Co. MS. from what my fathers birth cert says, now my grandfather I don't know where he came from the 1930 Ark. census says that he was from TN. but the 1920 census says Ark. On my moms side the surnames are Polhemus, Hamous, Long, Keiths, Wood theres more but most of them came from Louisiana. Yea I don't know if they came from the same place or not, my grandfather was 30 yrs. old when my father was born according to his birth cert. Thank you for all your help
