Stephen Ivy Family Choctaw Co AL- Missing Son Found?
Posted by: Sylvia Dees (ID *****7454) Date: September 27, 2009 at 17:06:15

To all Stephen Ivy researchers - I have a "speculation" regarding a missing child of Stephen & Mary Ann Ivy. Family tradition has it that there were 13 children, but only 11 have been accounted for.

A possible candidate for another sibling: Moses J Ivy.

1) In 1850 Moses age 22, worked for Joab Beeson in Jasper Co MS. Therefore he would not be listed in the home of Stephen Ivy in Choctaw Co AL..

2) In 1850 Moses future wife Eliza Savell's family lived only a couple of HH away from Stephen Ivy (Moses' father)in Choctaw Co AL.

3) In 1860 Lauderdale Co MS, Moses & family live next door to Jacob Rowell family who has a dau Sara age 23. Moses' bro Joshua Hall Ivy will marry Sara Rowell in 1861 who died shortly after. Sara is buried at Beulah Baptist Newton, Mississippi, USA
. . . The first complete listing of early church members found in the church minute book in 1867 as follows: James Rowell 11; William Rowell 13; Jane Rowell 21; F. Rowell 22; SARA IVY (dead) 23; J. Rowell 33; E. Rowell 29 . . .

4) Moses was in 36th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry, the same regiment as bro, Hugh W Ivy.

5) Moses and his family lived their life in Tunnel Hill, Lauderdale Co MS. Bro Joshua Hall Ivy also lived in Tunnel Hill area in 1910.
