Just received your message.It sure seems as you say they used the same name over and over,My Grandfather was John Wesley Adcock (Dock) born 1848, who I remember they came in through N.C. He had brothers and maybe sister who went in different directions.I don't know any of his family except I think he had a couple brothers Webb and Warren Who Settled around Smith and Simpson Co. Ms. close to Mize and Magee.I think one of his brothers was a preacher with red hair.He had children and some of their names are John, Frank,William Ervin(Bill)Who was my dad.,James Oscar, Timon Virgle, Tommie,Margrett Ann,Samantha, Dora who must have died young.and several more. My dad has 22 children but was from two marriages. There is a lot of Adcock and Adcox in this area.Some of my family spellstheir name Adcox.My dad Was born in 1874. I'm trying to get birth records of my Grandfather John Wesley. They should be in soon.I noticed in the 1850 census of Harrison Co. Ms Microfilm #432-372 there was a John Adcock 25yrs. born in S Carolina , wife Ann 21 yrs. born in Ms. Son 1yr born in Ms. his name was John W.Who might be my grandfather as their birth year was about the same.
