MEGGINSON OF ALA, NC AND VA

My gggrandfather, Alexander Megginson was b abt 1824
in NC. He married Martha ?(b in TN)and their first child,
James Henry(or Henry James) was b 1848 in MS.
On the 1900 Benton Co., MS census, Alexander lists
his mother and father as born in NC.
Alexander's other children are Ann Eliza, Charles B.,
and Sally(?Sarah C.).I believe he later mar. Sally
Clifton abt 1876 in MS.
I'll list James Henry's children's names in case anyone
might recognize a family name assoc. with your NC Megginsons:
Martha
Hugh Alexander
William Fuller
James Manning
Leland P.
Frank B.
Russell
Vera Viola
Oma Lillie
Carrie(or Carrice) M.
I've really met a brick wall with the Megginson's.Most
of James Henry's children did not have many children and
are spread out all over the U.S.My grandfather, James
Manning Megginson was estranged from the family in the
early 1900's and moved to California, so I haven't been
able to find any contemporaries who might have info on
Alexander.
Hoping for a breakthrough!
