My husband is a direct descendant of Richard Eskridge of Duck Hill, MS.My mother-in-law, who is featured in Stephen Hank's book, is the granddaughter of Mary Rebecca Eskridge and Drury Wilkins.Mary Rebecca was the granddaughter of Richard Eskridge.
We enjoyed meeting Stephen when he came to MS to research the history of his family.His quest for uncovering the truth of his family is a reminder that our ancestry, no matter the nationality, was instrumental in building this great nation we live in today.It was their struggles and triumps that enable us today to come together as one whether on this forum, in person, or in spirit. His book is a gift, not only to his descendants, but to the descendants of Colonel George Eskridge.
Thank you, Stephen, for all your hard work!
