My maternal family has roots in the state of Mississippi.
The earliest members of the family came to Mississippi
through the slave trade from Viriginia to Natchez, MS in
Adams County during American westward expansion.
Other branches are traced to Hinds County, Wilkinson
County, Panola County and Marshall County, Mississippi
and Southwest Louisiana. Surnames associated with
Mississippi are Thompson, Galmore, Rounds,
Washington, Boyd/Perkins, Moore, Gordon and Owens.
