As I wrote you before for the Neshoba
site, I have a rather extensive photo collection of various
family members who lived in Neshoba County and Kemper County
between 1839 and 1944. These photographs (tin-types, albuman
prints, carte-viste, modern type photos) were taken between
the years 1862 and early 1930s.
Fortunately all of these photographs have writing on the
back identifying the person(s) in the image. The handwriting
is both that of my great-grandmother and of my great-great
grandparents. There are several "identified" individuals
that I can't place in our family "history". I was hoping you
could list the names on your site under 1st families and see
if descendants of these people recognize the name(s) and
respond.
Here is one of Kemper county resident Sadey Spinks (a
neighbor of my Germany
g.g.grandparents near Moscow) from the late 1860s or
1870s.... as you will see, it is handcolored.... but
unfortunately handcolored by my grandfather or his brother
back in 1905 or so! the actual photo is full length portrait
by W. C. Brookshire photographers of Meridian (as many of my
other photos are).
Sudey Spinks and her family are shown on the 1880 Kemper
county census:
Household Record 1880 United States Census
Census Place Moscow, Kemper, Mississippi Household of Sudie
Spinks:
Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace

Sudie SPINKS Self M Female W 32 MS Farming MS MS
Mary SPINKS Dau S Female W 8 MS --- ---
Windsor SPINKS Son S Male W 3 MS --- ---
Morde SPINKS Son S Male W 1 MS --- ---
With some work, this photo of Kemper County resident Sudie
Spinks can probably be restored.
I noticed you have some othe much later photos of spinks
family members on the site... perhaps Sudie is one of there
g.g.grandmothers.
