Harris--I found a 1850 census index on the web, but I can't find the actual census on line. I'm trying to track my gr-gr-grandfather Henry Harris'  migration from Walker Co., to  Georgia to Bell Co., Texas.  Henry was born in Georgia, his wife Sabrina (_____) Harris was born in Tennessee and my gr-grandfather Jacob Harris was born in Mississippi in 1849.  If  you draw a straight line from northwest Georgia to  eastern Texas they would have gone through Choctaw county.  I realize this is a stretch, but my only info is the family Bible and the 1860 census for Bell County, Texas.  They were living in Texas in 1860, but not 1850.  Is there anywhere in Choctaw county where I could check the 1850 census records? Is there an archives or maybe a library with them on microfisch?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Pat Welsch,  Florida.  welschti@bellsouth.net     ^02-04

Staggs, Campbell, Fondren--I'm looking for info on William Staggs and Ellen Campbell of Choctaw Co.  They were the parents of Dovie Belle Staggs, born April 14, 1893, and died January 14, 1929.   She married Henry Felix Fondren May 13, 1909.   Most of WilliamStaggs' family is from South Carolina.  Ellen Campbell is, I think, from MS.  The only clue I have concerning her is a brief notice in the Co. newspaper edition of 1847 indicating that a J. J. Campbell was the County Clerk that year ("J.J. Campbell, Circuit Clerk"). Don't know if there is a connection.  Dovie Belle and Henry Fondren are my Grandparents and close kin to, "the Crippled Boys", who once worked at the Choctaw Co. Courthouse in the '30s. Any info on  William Staggs, Ellen Campbell, or Dovie Belle will be greatly appreciated.  Cordially to Family and All.  Fred Bean.   fbean60@bellsouth.net     ^02-03
