Publisher's Synopsis
This final volume covers twenty-seven newspapers published in the southern half of Mississippi between 1813 and 1850. The people named lived primarily in southern Mississippi, although there are frequent mentions of people from northern Mississippi and surrounding areas. In addition to the names of the subjects, the entries also include the names of ministers, witnesses, relatives, and dates and places of residence, to the extent that this data appears in the original notice; citations to the sources are given for the benefit of those who wish to search the originals. The abstracts are arranged chronologically by newspaper, and there is a complete full-name index.
