I'm unfamiliar with researching in MS and would appreciate help as to where to look for the following: Source: 1880 Federal Census for Jones, Ausburn (Osborne) jones, born in Pennsylvania, in 1842, occupation: school teacher, residence: Corinth, Alcorn County, MS.
At first I was going to limit my research to Alcorn State, formerly Alcorn A & M, but in looking at this college's locaton, I am seeking a major public library where I can review records and/or seek assistance to find this gentleman. Thanks for any assistance you may offer.
