Book excerpt: The family roots of thousands of Americans begin with those French men and women who came, willingly or not, to settle La Nouvelle France and La Louisiane. While A Mississippi First Family: The Sauciers from 1603 to 1865 is about a particular family, in a larger sense it is about all those who have left a known world behind to make a life for themselves in an unknown world. Though the lives of ordinary people go unrecorded, this lack does not discount their importance. Great men may dream dreams, but ordinary men are needed to carry them out. The story of the Sauciers begins with Charles Saucier, organist to Louis XIV, King of France. His son, Louis Charles, sailed to the wilds of Canada in 1665 where he sired the Canadian branch of the family. Jean Baptiste Saucier, Louis Charles' younger son, one of sixty Canadians under the leadership of Pierre le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville, founder of La Louisiane, arrived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 1699 to help establish the French there ahead of the hated British. Eventually, he married Gabrielle Savary, one of the Pelican Girls, sent by King Louis to wed the Canadians. Together they became pillars of Colonial Mobile and started a branch of the family whose descendants would settle along the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in Alabama, Louisiana, Illinois and Missouri. Their southern beginning in Old Mobile, called the first American city because its boundaries were not enclosed by a wall, a change that marks the beginning of the modern in this country, ranks this site, some have said, as being one of the most important in the region and in our nation.

Download or read book A Mississippi Family written by Mary Helen Griffin Halloran and published by . This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a plantation ledger, an abandoned graveyard, a fragile manuscript, and old newspapers, author Mary Helen Griffin Halloran has raised the bones of her ancestors and made them come alive in this memoir that traces the history of five generations of her Mississippi family. In A Mississippi Family, Halloran has painted a backdrop to the life the family lived. The story begins with the life and times of three men: Jonas Griffin (1762 1815), his son Francis Griffin (1800-1865), and his son Judge John Bettis Griffin (1826 1903). It ends with portraits of two remarkable women, Judge John's daughters, Mary Lane Griffin (1858 1942) and Helen Knight Griffin (1864 1949). The stories of these five people, whose fates and values shaped the lives of their children, capture the early history of the Mississippi Delta, Warren and Washington Counties, and the town of Greenville. Telling tales of river journeys and life on southern plantations, Halloran's meticulous research has provided a record of her fascinating family saga at a crucial period in the history of the county, state, and nation.
Download or read book Once in a Lifetime written by Elise Varner Winter and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once in a Lifetime reveals the broad range of Elise Varner Winter's activities as first lady of Mississippi during the term of her husband, Governor William F. Winter (1980–1984). Drawn from her personal journal, which she kept daily, this account includes the frustrating moments as well as the exhilarating ones, from keeping house to visiting the White House. The position of a state's first lady is one of the most public of roles. Yet few people know what a first lady actually does. In Elise Winter's memoir, her sense of history, her talent, and her perseverance to record her activities and observations provide a unique opportunity for the reader to understand what life in the Mississippi Governor's Mansion was really like on a daily basis. This book reveals her traditional roles—planner of elegant dinners, sophisticated hostess, hands-on gardener, and steward of the Mansion and its historic collection of antique furniture and decorative arts. But she emerged as a modern first lady, intensely interested in public education and in the state penitentiary, for which she developed several important initiatives. She recounts fascinating events from Governor Winter's administration, its tensions and its accomplishments, such as passage of the Education Reform Act, a success in which Elise Winter played an indispensable role. Many of the issues of thirty years ago remain critical today—insufficient funding for education, budget deficits, prison overcrowding, and the need for prison reform. Elise Winter observes everyone and everything with a fresh eye for detail and describes them all with honesty, clarity, and simplicity. Her observations reflect her intellect and insight, as well as her sense of humor. This is a woman's story, a human story, about hopes and doubts, about setting high standards and sometimes feeling inadequate, and about the imperative of continual efforts to make her state a better place for all who live there.
Download or read book The Jenkins Family written by Lucy Jenkins-Smith and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several definitions of a family, including the descendants of a common ancestor or individuals living in the same household. This is our story about a family, rooted in Mississippi. We will write about Mississippi and the descendants of Larthey Jenkins and Mary Johnson-Jenkins, born over 140 years ago, and about our father, Cecil Jenkins Sr. that was born over 106 years ago. Larthey and Mary's first descendant was born in 1903 and the last known descendant was born in 2021, 118 years apart. We believe that part of a strong family is knowing family history. In this publication, we will explore a few of what we believe to be factual things about the State of Mississippi; the celebrated, the good, the sad, and the horrifying but not innuendos. We intend to list some notable Mississippians and some historical markers. We will write about our family, the Jenkins, the descendants of our grandfather, Larthey Jenkins, Sr. (1878? - 1950), and our grandmother, Mary Johnson-Jenkins (1880? - 1977) on our father's side of the family. They were the first generation of our family members that were born after slavery was legally abolished in the United States of America. We will also identify the second and third generations of Larthey and Mary, identify Cecil Jenkins Sr.'s family, and provide a short story of the life of several Cecil Sr. family members from the fourth generation. Additionally, we will provide some information on our mother and her parents. Our mother died when Lucy was a baby and Cecil Jr. was three years old. Some of the good things about Mississippi include several Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), television personality Oprah Winfrey and National Football League (NFL) Hall of Fame Quarterback Brett Favre were born there. In 1825, Ben Jenkins was born into slavery in Lauderdale County, Mississippi. He married Mary from Georgia and to this union two children, Stewder and James were born. James Jenkins married Sopha Ford and our grandfather, Larthey Jenkins was born in about 1878 to that union. The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution legally abolished slavery in the United States of America. Although slavery was legally abolished, some Black people were still caught up in a predicament.

Book excerpt: This rich, leisurely tale chronicles the lives of three generations in the family of Kate Anderson, a young, genteel southern widow residing in the small Mississippi town of Homochitto. An intimate examination of the significance of family, this novel, Douglas' first, is a statement of how people survive crises not only through their own courage but also through the support of those who cannot turn away from them. The layers of birth, childhood, courtship, marriage, illness, and death - seen through the gradually maturing eyes of Anna, Kate's granddaughter - reveal the tapestry of shared experiences, joys, and sorrows that bond a family and build its history.
