Good Morning: just saw your post on the net for Busby's of Tishomingo Co, my grandfather Busby was from Alcorn Co, and his ancestors were from Tishomingo before it changed to Alcorn.  His name was Oliver Newton Busby 1880-1963, am trying to research his lineage, his father was John Henry Busby known as Jack and his spouse was Nancy Jane Long known as Nan.  Going back further is a little sketchy for me, I believe  ( Jacks ) father was Micajah Busby, any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, any publications that may have this info in it would do nicely.  Thank you in advance,,,Craig Brees

Hello Judith

I'm looking for information on the Goodwin Family from the Trussville to Pinson communties in Jefferson County, Alabama. My G-Grandfather was Thomas Wright Goodwin Sr. His first wife was Rachel Ferguson (Catherine Weems' sister) and his second wife was Lydia Presley. I been trying to trace all his children's families to help me figure out my own line as well. I live near to the above locations. I have access to alot of local records as well. I'd love to talk with you. If you can write me at plowboy34v50@yahoo.com , I will send you my phone number.

Hello Judith,

I think that your husband's Walker family is related to me!  I have been looking for my Walker family that still lives in Iuka, Tishomingo Co., Ms. and the surrounding area.  Please contact me via my e-mail:    wirwin1758@wmconnect.com   so we can talk back and forth! I'm not sure which Walker he is from, but I'm sure it's the same family.  Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Wow! It is so interesting hearing about my Grandmother's family. My Uncle Julian lived near JP Coleman Park. If I'm not mistaken, and I'll have to check with my mother, but he sold the land to the state for the access. He married Tenie Rae and I can't remember her maiden name. He lived in Iuka. He passed away in 1997 and is buried in the campground cemtary. GG Tishie and GGpa Joseph had 4 children, two girls and two boys. My Uncle Julian was the oldest and my Grandmother, Ruby Ann Busby Smith was the youngest and just recently passed away, in March. I'm so shocked at the information I'm finding that I'm drawing a blank on many things. Overload I guess. I'll speak with my mother tomorrow. She'll have a lot of information. One thing we always joked about was if my GGrandmother was so old the County was named after her or if she was named after the county. My oldest daughter is named after her, Tishamingo but we shortened it to Tisha. Grandma Ruby met and married Royal Smith in Pascagoula, Mississippi. He was in the Air Force and she was welding ships during WWII. There are so many in my family, Shannan Marlar, Sandy, James, Donnie. I'll really have to talk to my mother. Everyone was aunt and uncle because of southern elder respect that I'm not sure who's a cousin and who's a real uncle. I'll get as much information as I can to help you. Thank you so much!! I always wondered about my mother's family.
