So wished I had been able to attend your address about The Free State of Jones. Bennett Jackson Rushton is my husband’s ggg granduncle. Your work has been extremely interesting reading. We are searching for information about the location of Bennett’s pottery factory near Laurel, Mississippi. Do you have any information that might be helpful?
