Thomas James McNutt
I am looking for descendents of Thomas James McNutt.He was born in Mississippi circa 1853 and died in Texas in 1892.Thomas's first wife was Mary Elizabeth Stephens and they were the parents of 4 children one of whom is my grandmother Albertine McNutt born July 22, 1878, in Itawamba Co., MS.After Mary Elizabeth's death in 1881 Thomas married Laura Langston circa 1883 in Itawamba Co., MS.I believe they had 4 children.
Sometime around 1890 they moved to Pecan Gap, Delta Co., TX.Both Thomas and Laura died in 1892.After their deaths I think most of the children returned to MS to live with relatives.I have documentation that Thomas left his children with a friend named Bill Ross and went to south Texas on business and died during the time he was gone.Since I live in SE Texas I know south Texas could encompass a very large area and I would like to know more details about where he went; was it truly to South Texas or was it south of where they lived in Delta County?
Any help with finding where my great grandfather went and supposedly died would be much appreciated.
