Descendants of Elisha, Elijah, and Joseph Nettles in Mississippi

I am a descendent of Thomas H. Nettles son of Elisha (Elijah) Washington Nettles and Lucretia Adeline Arnold.According to what I have, Joseph Ferguson Nettles (b 15 Aug 1859) was Thomas's brother.If this is your Joseph, then we have the same line.The 1860 Franklin County census shows E.W. Nettles (age 39) with Lucretia (age 33) and lists Martha (age 14), William (age 13), Thomas (age 12),Napoleon (age 6) and Theidore (age 4).Don't know why they didn't show Joseph.The marriage records of Franklin county show Elijah rather than Elisha but I think spelling depended upon who was doing the writing.
Anyway, you can find a lot about many Nettles from Paul Walker's website:http://txnetwork.net/walker/gedcoms/pauls2/html/pauls2.htmlhttp://txnetwork.net/walker/gedcoms/pauls2/html/pauls2.html
just click on the N.
He shows that Joseph F. Nettles was married to Caroline Thorton and lists Joseph Napolean Nettles as their son.
Hope this helps.I was really into this a couple of years ago but haven't been doing much lately, just happened to check the family names and saw your message.Check out the Walker website first and let me know if I can help with anything else. (Ed)
