Back to Mississippi, Part 4: Ancestors

On Saturday afternoon of our "Back to Mississippi" trip last weekend, we toured two old cemeteries and discovered our children's great-great and great-great-great grandparents. I'm sure we would find more "greats" if we knew where to look. Kristy's family goes way, way back in the Benton/Midway (near Yazoo City) community. The bottom picture is a photo of the Luby family tree (and yes, our three are on it). Those are some serious roots- or better, some serious branches! One grave was of a couple who lived in the Benton area in the late 1700s when MS was a territory on the frontier.
