Hello,

Would like to connect with my family. I am doing family research and have hit a brick wall. I know my Weathersby's came from Mississippi. Countys are Copiah, Lincoln, Lawrence and Claiborne Countys.

Scott's came from Ireland to South Carolina?

Please fill free to correct any info. Because this info I have is from research I did and not sure if this is right. As I said I have hit a brick wall....thanks!

Howard Weathersby Jun 1892MS-1936LA
+Addie Coleman ca. 1893MS-1964LA
I believe Howard & Addie moved to LA to work on the farm of Howard's nephew. They had a hard time in LA. Howard died out in the fields in 1936, leaving Addie to raise 5 kids on her own. Addie remarried at age 83 to a Mr Smith, dont have any other info on him, wish I did. And he passed away, she outlived both her husbands. She died while living in Delhi, LA, I think.

Addie had a sister, Ovie. She married Archie Damico. I believe they owned a store in Brookhaven in about the 1920's?

Howard & Addie's children:
Ruby B. + Fred Driskil
Eva L. + Sam Cherrier & Bill Curry
Elsie H. + John G Higgs Jr (my grandparents)
Mildred + Johnson
John H. + ??????

I hope this finds my family and I hope to reconnect with them...or find new family members. I hope to hear from someone..
Thanks,
Dawn
