I am making a research trip down to Jennings County today but before I go, I wanted to send a sample of what the transcription looks like per person. I chose this one because I see the name Pettiford on this list. Spacing did not copy correctly but this is the information as it was on the transcription. I will try and see the original today to verify it is complete.
