He was my Great, great, great grandfather through slavery. He had relations with one of his house slaves named Sue. A talented, beautiful seamstress. She had twins. A boy and a girl. They took the last name Levy. They were probably sold to Chapman Levy. One of the largest, Jewish slave owners and close colleague of McWillie. You will find Chapman Levy's headstone buried in the same resting place as McWillie.

Many of my own ancestors are buried in this cemetery, so I am very familiar with these family names. Among the names appearing on gravestones there are Gilmore, Hoover, Neatherlin, Neatherland, Netherland, Wigley, Winpigler, and Ziegler. Most gravestones there have been photographed and appear on www.findagrave.com. And some family histories are on my other blog, Mississippi Memories. There is a very good book that contains family history about some of these individuals. If you are descended from the Netherland family, some of your relatives may already have copies. The book was written by Gena Ayers Walls (search for her on my other blog) and is entitled The Netherland, Leatherlin Legacy. Gena lives near Houston, TX, and she can be reached by email at hrfrsearch@aol.com. If you live in the Lexington area, there is a possibility that Laura Gilmore Lawson, librarian at the Lexington Library, may know someone in the area who has a book. Gena did a very good job of documenting and writing about the history of the family, specifically as family members traveled from Wilkes County, Georgia to Alabama, and on into Mississippi, with some later leaving MS for Louisiana and Texas. You may want to watch for a book I am writing about Holmes County, entitled The Juke Joint King of the Mississippi Hills: The Raucous Reign of Tillman Branch. The book primarily is set in Holmes County and contains a fair amount of regional and family history. Publication is scheduled for April 1, 2014.Janice Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418381065941525964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686622481811476884.post-88942670451086274612013-12-08T14:45:39.250-08:002013-12-08T14:45:39.250-08:00I would like to see a history of Coxburg if one ha...I would like to see a history of Coxburg if one has been written.

I have a tale of my own to enter here. My great grandmother lived just north of that area around Cruger when she died shortly after childbirth. I know they said they thought civil war era, but bear with me a moment. There was a flood of high water the year she died around 1900, no place dry to bury her, so they put her in a boat and went out to find a spot of dry land. The location at Egypt was 7 miles down from where she lived. They would have drifted that way in a boat. The story goes that they found a dry spot and buried her in it. Now here is why I think they may be the same - she was a petite woman, my grt grdmtr was very petite. My own grandmother and her sisters were all under 5 ft. The lady in Red was estimated in her mid 20's - my grt grd mother was 26 when she died, very small feet. The right age, the right size and taken by boat to that dry ground south of Cruger - Also Hattie was caucasion. Both had red hair. How many caucasion, petite under 5 ft, with small feet, in their 20's do you think would be buried in a field below Cruger instead of a burial plot? This Lady in Red and my great grandmother Hattie was buried there somewhere too. And according to the description, they could have passed for the same person. According to their story and mine, they both were brought to their burial on a boat. Now figure those odds for me.<br />anniefanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11873321864575746949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686622481811476884.post-9300512681527049322013-09-11T06:47:48.750-07:002013-09-11T06:47:48.750-07:00I'm a descendant of Jean Baptiste Elzear Burel...I'm a descendant of Jean Baptiste Elzear Burel and Patience Hannah Bird through Margaret Epps Burel Hunter, their only child to remain in SC.

I, of course, heard this story too, mostly from my Uncle Sanford who has a tendency to embellish his stories - It was told to me in childhood as an eery ghost tale. The origin of the Lady in Red's story is a mystery to us too -- John from Tchula, I've heard both of those hypotheses, both seem probable. Egypt Plantation used to have a fairly busy port on the Yazoo up until the 1920-30s, and she was likely an affluent traveler who died unexpectedly. Emily Thomasnoreply@blogger.com
