Chapel Y. Hudson NC - MS descendants
If you are a descendant of any of the following HUDSON family members: Chapel Y. (b.1805 NC; d.1869 MS), Lucinda Hamilton (b. 1820; d.1901), George Washington (b.1854; d.1929), John Hamilton (b.9/15/1852; d.2/25/1936), Susan 'Sue' Johnson Hudson (b.3/30/1853; d.9/5/1929), John W. (1/29/1880;d.9/8/1886), and Ann O. (b.9/15/1827; d.2/26/1887), please contact me.Also, an infant daughter of Luthur & Modena HUDSON is buried in Old Peebles Cemetery.I am in the process of organizing a restoration/preservation committee to take back this cemetery located in Webster County, approximately 4 miles NW of Stewart, MS, from mother nature and the land owner who owns all of the land surrounding the cemetery.He has indicated in so many words to me that he will only allow access to the cemetery which is located about 1/4-1/2 mile from the main county road, when it does not interfere with his or his guests' hunting plans, etc.He has gated & padlocked an old county road leading to the cemetery.I would like permission to use your name on a 'petition' as a concerned descendant/member of the (unnamed) 'Webster County Old Peebles Cemetery Preservation Association' in requesting that the Webster Co. Board of Supervisors open this road back up. This may actually be the first cemetery in the area since the people buried here have been documented as the first settlers to this area - called Choctaw City in the early 1800's. Although the Hudson heastones have been replaced, many of the other headstones are in need of repair. We would like to be able to clear the underbrush from the graveyard (ourselves) and eventually fence it all in. Several cousins accompanied me to the cemetery yesterday; we realize this project will be a long-term undertaking, but we feel we owe it to these pioneering ancestors. If you can help in any way or offer ANY advice, please contact me. Thanks, deb in MS -> [email protected]
