This is the best I could find for you.I had to go check your posting history, where I found a few more details to go by.
Need info for Julius Murphy Clark, my grandfather, died circa 1962 in De Quincy, Louisiana.
My Uncle says that he was born in Mississippi, child of William Lafayette Clark and Gertrude Pressridge, but I can find no record.

Ger* Pre*g* was not a surname that showed up on any census.When soundexed, nothing comes up close to Ger* Pressridge for any year.However, on the Lincoln Co MS Genweb, there is a live person showing up named Prestridge... and that surname was found there in later years (1890's and later).
Lincoln was formed on April 7, 1870 from parts of Lawrence, Pike, Franklin, Copiah, and Amite Counties, in the Piney Woods soil area of the southwest part Mississippi.
