Hi Vikki,

Google has brought me back to your website once again. I was doing some online Tisdale research and it picked up the posts from Clark Tisdale. John Appleton Tisdale is my gr, gr, gr, grandfather and I would like to get in touch with Clark if you can make that happen. Please send him my email when you have the chance.

Thanks,

Eric Rawls

I got a look at “Who Married Whom in Jones County, MS” 1830-1880 by Patrica Edwards & Jean Strickland yesterday. It lists William Pleasant as born 1816 and marrying Martha Chatham in 1835. But also listed is William (Smt/D) with Susannah Carr and all dates mentioned previously. William (Smt/D) was also listed as previously married to La-Coh-Mah-La birth date (unproven). All of these entries were listed as based on family knowledge.

Thanks for the update on our Tisdale ancestors! Washington Sherwood Tisdale was my GGGrandfather, so you and I are the same generation–4th cousins, I believe?

Vikki,

William Pleasant Tisdale (1775-06-27 – 1848-05-??) and Susannah Carr (1785-09-20 – 1860-??-??) were the parents of Washington Sherwood (1822-10-22 – 1894-09-24) and John Appleton Tisdale (1826-03-01 – 1902-07-31). That seems to be the point where our genetic lines meet. Quite a way back!

William and Susannah were born in SC, the boys in Jones County, MS; all four appear to have died in Jones County.

John Appleton was my GGGrandfather.

You’re welcome, Clark. And If you figure out how we’re related, let me know!
