Seaching for my Lunsford roots. I have documented back to my gggg grandfather Peter Lunsford b abt 1782 in VA and died 1852 in Putnam Co, IN. Married Sarah O'Neal in KY in 1810. I am descended from their son Alfred Lunsford. Looking to find the parents of Peter Lunsford. Believe he was the son of one of the four Lunsford Brothers (Anthony, Mason, Moses or George) who were wiht Geroge Rogers Clark in the Northwest Territories during Revolutionary War. Also looking to indentify the relationship between Peter Lunsford and William Lunsford (b 1780 in VA and died circa 1852 in Oldham Co, KY). There is a link between my gg grandfather William Monroe Lunsford and this William's son Peter Lunsford. If I can establish their relationship, it would give me a good number of clues to my Peter Lunsford's father. Thanks for any help. Ernie

Hi - Really like the way you put this web site together - great job! I am the site owner of Carolina Histories at MSN. Please stop by some time. Also, am the ggg-grand neice of Rebecca Foster, her sister Martha being my ggg-gm. Did you know Nimrod was someting like the gg-gf of Audie Murphy(WWII war hero and actor)? Dont remember through which wife but its published on the net somwhere. The Foster girls are the daughters of Isaac Foster of SC, but no one seems able to locate him in birth marriage or death. Please let me know if you have any info on this elusive character. Really enjoyed the site. Regards, DeannaT

It is so interesting to find your website, particularly since I moved from Forrest City AR to Alexandria VA about six years ago.

I am researching LEVI SMITH, born ca 1778 in NC. He was first married to ANNIS/ANNIE KENNEDY of Moore Co NC. It appears from census records that they migrated to GA and then to Lawrence Co MS by 1820. (I think he served in the War of 1812 from MS. I have ordered his records from the National Archives.)

Looking at the 1850 and 1860 Lauderdale Co TN censuses, it appears that he remarried.

Assuming that my Levi Smith (NC, GA, MS) is the same as the Lauderdale Co TN Levi, I know at least two of his children, ESTHER SMITH married MARTIN FLINN, and BAILEY SMITH married a JACKSON, both in Lawrence Co MS.

I believe my Levi did move to TN, since other younger Smiths in Lauderdale Co TN have the same first names as some older Smiths in Lawrence Co Ms, ISAAC, ISHAM, and EVERETT.

I would appreciate so much any information you can share about this famil

In reply to Vickie Petefish looking for an obituary or article on the death of Jimmy Lindsey. Is this the same Jimmy Lindsey who is buried at Gibson Bayou? If so, I would like to have his birth and death dates to add to the Gibson Bayou transcriptions.

As far as an article, you might try the Evening Times office at West Memphis. They have microfilm records of the newspapers from this period. The Memphis and Shelby County Library, located on Poplar in Memphis, would have microfilm records from the Commercial Appeal and Memphis Press Scimitar. Also, the Cross County Library in Wynne has copies of the Evening Times for that time period.

Good luck in your search, Debbie Yates
