"My grandfather Roy Scott left this book to me. He inherited it from his father Emmett Scott, Emmett got it from his father John Wesley Scott. John's parents, Gabriel and Abigail Griffing Scott are mentioned in the book for the work they did at Cane Ridge Church in Jefferson County.  This book offers a rich history of the 1700's in the south, and mentions many of the earliest settlers." - Bren Cloud

DESCRIPTION
.
This book chronicles the experiences of the Rev. Tobias Gibson and his successors in the Natchez Territory during the period ca. late 1700's early 1800's.  Included are many names and descriptions of early families, and of the area.  In addition to being extremely interesting reading, this summary provides a factual and unusual look at the era, and of the families who, in spite of the wilderness and inherent dangers, migrated into and settled what is today Adams, Amite, Franklin, Jefferson, and Wilkinson Counties, in Mississippi.

For ease in navigating the pages, hypertexed general topic headings have been added.  Photographs have been inserted for interest, and links have been added for those readers who would like more background information on a particular subject.  Use the "Back" button on your browser to return to these pages after visiting linked sites.
