This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perry County, Mississippi was formed from the western half of Greene County, Mississippi on February 3, 1820, and was named after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, a popular naval hero of the War of 1812. It was the first county formed after Mississippi attained its statehood in 1817, and the sixteenth county to be formed out of the old Mississippi Territory. The first settlement in Perry County was Augusta, founded in 1812 on the banks of the Leaf River. Augusta would become the county seat, and in 1819 was one of the first land offices in the state to be established. By 1860, two more communities, Enon and Monroe, had been established. It wasn't until 1882 that Hattiesburg would be founded by pioneer lumberman and civil engineer, William H. Hardy. Shortly afterwards, Perry County's first newspaper, the Hattiesburg Herald would begin publication on Saturday with C. L. Adamson as the editor. It wouldn't take long for other newspapers to follow in the Herald's footsteps. This book is a compilation of the birth, death, and marriage announcements of the citizens in Perry County from those early newspapers that have been preserved on microfilm.

Download or read book 1850 U S Census and Historical Facts written by Robert J. McSwain and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1820, the first U. S. Census was taken in Perry County, Mississippi. However, this census only listed the name of each head of household only. It would be some 30 years later before each family member would be listed by name in the censuses. This is why the 1850 U. S. Census has become so very important to individuals who are researching their ancestors. Each individual's record has been carefully transcribed from the original one found on microfilm. Every name in this book is written exactly as the Census taker spelled it on the census. You may notice several different spellings of both first and last names in the census records. These various spellings occurred because the Census taker would often spell the person's name the way it sounded. Along with each individual's name is listed their age, sex, birthplace and occupation. Included in this book is also a historical overview of the major events that occurred in Perry County, Mississippi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 242 pages with 59 total maps Locating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Perry County, Mississippi, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . . 3910 Parcels of Land (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map) 44 Cemeteries plus . . . Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc. What YEARS are these maps for?
