I am Sylvia Scrock i like your blog, but there is a definitive error in the article about Henry Jr.'s wife. He married Mary Fletcher in South Carolina. in 1834 he moved to Ms and never remarried. He was my great, great grandfather. I am also in the middle of my book about the family. I have a cousin who has completed the family tree since 1755.

Very interesting. I was passing by this cemetery one morning a few minutes after 7am, and saw the strangest mist over a certain part of this cemetery. I also found out from a friend that she also saw this same strange mist in the cemetery 4 days before I did. The strange thing was, I never gave her details on what I saw. Are there reports of this historic cemetery being haunted ?

Very interesting journey of discovery.

I heard this story about the lady in red from the father of a young lady I was visiting in the hospital up in Jackson who just had a baby (I am a Catholic priest serving in Yazoo City and Belzoni.) The father asked me if I was related to the family in Egypt because he said I resembled them so much. I found your blog entry very interesting. Thank you.

I do not know how Jerry Clower is related to this group. Nor Martha E Pickett. But I am in the process of finding out. I am a descendant of William Clower who was married to Purity Rasberry (Purity R Berry.) I do know that Jerry Clower is not in my direct group.

At the time, it was thought that Egypt Plantation was a stop for river boats coming up the Yazoo River to Greenwood. There was some speculation that the Lady in Red could have been a passenger on a paddlewheel riverboat when she died.

I love your blog. I also descend from Rebecca Clark and John Baldridge, through their daughter Margaret, widow of Moses Henry, that next married Jonathan Gullick in North Carolina. Jonathan and Margaret's son, James Clark Gullick married his first cousin, Jane Angeline Baldridge. Jane was the daughter of Margaret's younger brother, Alexander Baldridge and Sarah McMurray. Keep up the good work!!

Yes, he is John Baldridge 1715-1766. There is an entry for his gravesite at findagrave.com. There's not a picture of his headstone though. Only one of the cemetery plaque. The entry is at: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=22270877

This is a great blog. I'm actually trying to locate the headstone of Aaron Boggs, Rebecca's second husband. I have yet to determine with certainty who his father was(rumored to be William Boggs who supposedly died FEB 1745 in Lancaster) and I'm hoping to connect his line to a Scotland line. I have found a clue that his first son with Rebecca may have actually been born in Lancaster, PA and not in North Carolina as many researchers list. I also discovered that Aaron may have settled in Upperstrasburg for a while via images of a book called "American Revolutionary Soldiers of Franklin County, Pennsylvania", on page 21. It is imaged on He supposedly served in the Revolutionary War as a sergeant from 1780 to 1782. Perhaps this is why there is a lapse of children during that time. What confuses me is that it is reported that his date of birth is abt 1718 in Scotland. That would make him 62 when he enlisted. And what was he doing during the first part of his life before he married Rebecca? I'm starting to look at the Baldridge children to see if I can find clues since some of them were small when their father died and would have known Aaron more as a father. Surely they would have known what had become of him. The search goes on...

2010-01-07T16:06:37.261-08:00

Would you like me to find his grave and photograph it for you? Is he John Baldridge, 1715-1766? When the weather isn't so bone chilling, I'd be glad to do this for you. Also, I do volunteer at the Lancaster County Historical Society, so if you need any information that they may have, let me know and I'll see what I can find.

Outside of canton... on some backroads off of hwy 43 there are lots of woods that border the natchez trace. A friend and i were wondering thru the woods next to the trace and found an small, VERY old graveyard.. many of the tombs were broken and sunken into the ground, there may have only been 15 graves there. Looked undiscovered.. certainly not cared for at least. Have you seen any like this by chance?

Thanks for reading Cemeteries of Dancing Rabbit Creek and also for your comments and questions. Unfortunately, I have no information available about the Blackmon family members you named. One suggestion for you is to check census records for the periods of time your ancestors would have been enumerated - much information can be gleaned from that. Please contact me via email if you would like to discuss your questions further.

2009-09-29T12:56:25.461-07:00

Hello Janice, My name is Melissa Blackmon and I was born and raised in Carroll County MS. Over the years I have been told so many things about my family history but I do not have any proof. My father's name is Robert F. Blackmon, grandfather's name was D.F. Blackmon and his father's name was John Blackmon and his father's name was Thomas Blackmon. I have been told that our Zachariah Blackmon was apart of our family history and he also owned slaves and gave them his last name. I have found so many Blackmon's that say that they are kin but I am not sure. I would love to find out some of my history. I do not want anyone to get upset about my post but I really would love to know any information that you may have. Many of my older relatives have died or can't remember so if you will please help me if you can. Thank you

2009-08-01T23:24:40.524-07:00

My great-great grandparents - Jethro and Ann E Holley - are buried in Fellowship Cemetery. The Holleys came to Attala Co from SC by way of AL. Jethro served in Adam's Cavalry Regiment during the Civil War. As I understand it, Jethro's father David Mark Holley operated a tavern in the Attalaville area. He is buried in Suggs Cemetery, which I have no information about. I visited Fellowship Cemetery in the late 90s - was hard to get to back then. Thanks for your research! Would love to see your photos of the cemetery.
