Prewitt 1800N.W. 81st St. Des Moines, IA 50325 1995 FAMILY HISTORY LIRRARY Uifc/W 35 NORTH WEST TEMP! F f >?. ^-73 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 64150 f> ^ f rM MISSISSIPPI Territory- 1798 State-1817 The first attempt to found a colony was made in 1699 by Pierre Lemoyne, who brought 200 immigrants from France. They established colonies on the Gulf Coast at Old Biloxi in 1699, and on the Mississippi River at Natchez in 1716. The entire Mississippi Valley was called Louisiana. In 1763, France ceded the territory east of the Mississippi River, except New Orleans, to Great Britain under the peace settlement that ended the French and Indian War. Britain also received Florida from Spain, and divided the entire area into East Florida and West Florida. When the thirteen Colonies revolted in 1776, the Natchez District remained loyal to the Crown, and a number of Tories of the seaboard colonies moved their families to the district. In covered wagons, on horseback or canoe, the trek was started following Indian paths, stage coach routes, military and post roads. A great number crossed the Savannah River at Augusta or Ross's Landing, Georgia. The Georgia State Road was used by many, who went through the northwest corner of Georgia into North Carolina and then into Tennessee. The Natchez Trace, or Chickasaw Road, was an old Indian path, the southern portion extending from Nashville, TN to Natchez, MS, a distance of some 500 miles. Between 1779 amd 1781, Spain asserted her authority and took over the government of the Natchez District. Beasley Pruett (a Tory in South Carolina) was in Natchez District as early as 1783, and received a Spanish Land Grant in 1789. By 1798, pro-American sentiment had overthrown the rule of Spain and the Mississippi Territory was created by an Act of Congress. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 opened the Mississippi River and brought about a land boom in the Mississippi Territory. Thousands of settlers came from the eastern and northern states to claim the new lands. Petitions for statehood soon began and the State of Mississippi was created in 1817. The eastern half of the Territory was cut off to create the Alabama Territory. By 1820, the land ceded by the Choctaw Indians was divided into many counties and rapidly settled. Dunbar Rowland, in his history of Mississippi, makes reference to some old South Carolina counties being almost depopulated by the rush to the new territory. ADAMS CO. MS.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PUBLISHED-1952 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATE.S OF AMERICA. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND THANKS Family histories are never finished, and though this one was started more than forty years ago, it is still unfinished, and has many omissions, and perhaps mistakes, but may serve to inspire members of the family to send in data they may have, which will help to complete the record. Thou­ sands of letters have been written, in preparation of this history, many trips made to far away inaccessible places and cemeteries, and hundreds of interviews held with in­ terested people. Court Records have been searched, old wills read, and Bible Records unearthed which had been forgot­ ten for generations. Some letters have been answered promptly, with accurate information, while others have failed to reply or if they did reply, gave meager data. To those of you who have been gracious in your replies, and generous in sending in your family records, the Author is eternally grateful, but it is to your own descendants that you have made this contribution of time and effort, and it is a tribute we all should pay to those worthy ancestors of ours who paved the way for our liberty, our prosperity and our happiness. It would be impossible to mention all of the people who have made this history possible, but my deepest debt of gratitude is due to Eleanor Davis McSwain, and her husband, Horace L.

  • Country Cousins Volume 1 Descendants of William Davis (Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, Wales)
    COUNTRY COUSINS VOLUME 1 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM DAVIS (WELSHPOOL, MONTGOMERYSHIRE, WALES) RELATIVES OF JERALD, LOWELL, AND BOYD DAVIS BY ERA JOSEPHINE MORGAN DAVIS (EDITED BY JERALD MORGAN DAVIS) 1 December 2013 Version 1.0 A MEMORIAL This volume of Country Cousins is dedicated, as all of the many subsequent volumes of the family history will be, as a memorial to Curron David Davis and Era Josephine Morgan (parents of Jerald Morgan Davis, Lowell Kenneth Davis, and Thomas Boyd Davis) for the excellent genes they passed on to their children, the superb values they instilled in us (sometimes forcefully if that was needed), and their dedication to assuring that we were well prepared to face the challenges of life with a constructive, positive, can do attitude that has permitted us to meet the challenges of life and enjoy life with confidence and a smile. These volumes are also a memorial to the lifelong passion of Era Josephine Morgan Davis to discover and preserve our family history and to help others do the same with theirs. We did not get to vote on any of these things before we were born but we are deeply indebted to our parents for who they were, what they stood for, and what they did for us with the limited resources they were dealt in life. It is with love and affection and with deep respect and admiration that we dedicate these volumes of our family history to them. Our parents and all of our extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and close cousins were experts at doing the very best they could with the cards that life dealt them while accepting the things they could not change, changing the things they could, and trying hard to understand the difference between them.
