I know Alexander Montgomery married Cassandra Moody in Amite County
on 9/4/1823 but can get no further. A William Jones signed the marriage
bond and I'm hoping someone may have some information on Mr. Jones.
It's a long shot, but I thinking there may have been a relationship

McGEEHEE / MIDDLETON / WILKINSON
Mike Wilkinson
Tue 14 May 2002 22:15:29
My ancestor was Daniel King WILKINSON who was married to Mary LANGFORD who had single child Sarah Ann born May 1818.
Mary died and their child Sarah Ann moved to Duncan WILKINSON household. Sarah Ann married Mumford McGEHEE in 1838.
Daniel moved to Jefferson County in 1823 and later married Elizabeth Braiden.
Duncan WILKINSON brother to Daniel King WILKINSON was early pioneer in Amite County (have found statement that there was
an 1802 passport from Georgia to Mississippi and a listing in 1816 as residing in area.) His daughter Sarah Catherine married
Robert MIDDLETON. In his later years Duncan lived with Robert MIDDLETON and daughter Sarah Catherine.
Angus WILKINSON married to Catherine RAY moved to Amite County in early 1800s. I do not have much information on him.
I wish to correspond with anyone who has connections to the above names.
TESTON / WALL
I wish to correspond with anyone researching Frederick M. Teston and/or Elizabeth P. Wall.
Frederick and Elizabeth are both from South Carolina and settled in Amite county MS between
1810 and 1814. Fredrick was born in 1789 and Elizabeth about 1788. They married abt 1809,
possibly in South Carolina. Their children included: Mary Ann b. 1813; Rebecca Caroline b.
1815; Stephen Elbert b. 1817; Mary Elizabeth b. 1820; Lemuel Wiley b. 1823; Gideon Elisha b.
1824. There may have been another son named Frederick M. Teston Jr. but, I cannot yet comfirm
his birth. I am particularly interested in obtaining information concerning the Teston or Wall
families in South Carolina. Corespondence with other researchers, indicates that Elizabeth may
have been related to the Wall family that settled in Amite, MS in the early 1800s but, nothing
has been confirmed as yet. I have a fairly extensive DB of the Teston family from MS to
present day and will be willing to share information with anyone interested. Vero Beach, FL
