James Bennett(Jim) Mallard
I am looking for information on James Bennett (Jim) Mallard, who migrated to Clarke Co., Mississippi from Jesup in Wayne Co. Georgia around 1868 or 1870. He was approximately 17 years old at that time, and the story goes that he did not get along with a new stepfather that his mother married after the father, ? Mallard, was killed in the Civil War, so he and a brother, Joe, left Georgia to homestead land in Mississippi. I would like info on the Mallard family back in Jesup, as I come from the Mississippi branch and have learned all I can there.
