I am trying to find out the cause of death for a relative that died before death certificates were required in MS. He is buried in Decatur Cemetery. How can I obtain this information? Love this site - has so much detailed info. Thank you! Name: Danny Nicholson HomePage: dnic51@gmail.com City: Leander State/Province: TX Country: United States Sent: 09/29/2013 01:02:02 pm Hello, I am researching Horace Malone Nicholson and Eunice Simmons Nicholson and any information available. I am the grandson and my father was Lewis Franklin Nicholson. I am looking for information on their old homestead five miles out of town. It was a working farm. Any information will be most appreciated. Name: Chris Sent: 09/06/2013 12:41:58 am How long does it normally take to have your comments added here? Name: Chris Sent: 08/31/2013 01:48:29 am There were indeed more black Chapmans in Newton at the time of Emancipation. Immediately I can think of Frank and Dilcey/Dilsey Chapman. I also know that Moses/Mases Chapman was there with his family. Both of these men and their offspring enumerated consistently up until the now published 1940 census. As a black man Frank Chapman later owned, through homesteading, some of the land where the early settler Chapmans once held patents and he a slave. Elias Chapman who is actually acknowledged here remarried. I assume that Louzer passed on but would love to know if she had children with Elias. Elias is my 3rd great-grandfather. If you consult the 1880 census for Topeka, KS you will find Elias enumerated with his other wife, "Cytha," and their 3 children Elbert, Henry, and Fannie. As brother and sister Elbert and Fannie both married a brother and sister pair with surname Bender. Name: Lisa City: Eros State/Province: LA Country: USA Sent: 07/04/2013 04:45:49 am My great grandfather was Nathan N. Parker son of Jonathan Parker; I believe that Nathan's half brother was Jesse; I also think that they lived in Newton County before my great grandfather moved to Louisiana. I do not know a lot about our family history. Name: Lisa City: Eros State/Province: LA Country: USA Sent: 07/04/2013 04:45:45 am My great grandfather was Nathan N.

They made the assumption that a great Indian battle had taken place there; however, there is no historical evidence to that fact. Dr. Harold Graham
