My great grandmother, Phoebe Elizabeth "Lizzie" Barlow was the daughter of Christopher Columbus and Mary Jane Mahaffey Barlow. Mary Jane died 1886 and he married (23 Aug 1888) Jane Austin, not sure if this is her maiden name. He died in 1897 and Jane married J.N. Bankston 23 Sept 1898. All of this took place in Hinds County around the Utica area. C.C, also called Lum had a daughter Elenora "Nora" who married Edward Joab Salter in 1887; another daughter Indiana "Nan" married Charlie Eley 1875 (lived near Whitfield); Nan's twin Louisiana "Lou" married John Homer Tompkins 1874, all in Hinds County and lived around Utica area. I have a picture of Jane with the Eley family. She continued to visit our family even after marrying Mr Bankston and they called her Gran'ma Bankston, which has intrigued me to find more about her. Any help would be appreciated. Carolyn
