1877réf. 32913Copiah County MS 1877. Broadside 4-1/4" x9-1/4". Illustration of American Screaming Eagle at head of title. Light wear Very Good. The unrecorded and probably unique political ticket is from Copiah County Mississippi: the candidates on the underticket-- Sheriff County Treasurer Assessor and Surveyor-- were all from Copiah County. They won the election. Mississippi Republicans-- whom white Mississippians viewed as pariahs-- did not nominate a candidate for governor in 1877. The contest was between the regular Democrats who nominated John M. Stone for governor and old-timer Albert Gallatin Brown who had been Mississippi's governor a generation earlier. Brown was nominated by the People's Party Mississippi's brief experiment with Populism. He lost overwhelmingly to Stone. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that the election results showed "that the Radicals have lost all their influence" and that "several negroes who last year voted the Radical ticket this year voted with the Democrats." The Times-Picayune Friday Aug. 31 1877 page 2 and Sunday Nov. 11 1877 page 11. Brown 1813-1880 had been Governor Congressman U.S. Senator and Confederate Senator. He had been an integral part of Mississippi politics for nearly forty years. Kinloch Kinlock Falconer 1838-1878 was a lawyer from Holly Springs editor of the Holly Springs Reporter and one time mayor. During the Civil War he served with the 9th Regiment Mississippi Infantry and was assigned to General Bragg's headquarters. He was Secretary of the State in 1878 and died that year during the Holly Springs yellow fever epidemic. Silvester Gwin 1830-1891 of Lawrence County was Clerk of the Circuit Court of the County before winning the Auditor's position. During the Civil War he was Captain of Co. A 22nd Mississippi Infantry. William L. Hemingway 1839-1925 of Hinds County was 2d Lieut. of Co. K 11th Mississippi Infantry. He held the position of Mississippi State Treasurer from 1875-1890. In 1890 he was tried on charges of embezzlement when he was unable to account for a shortage of over $315000. He was found guilty and sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary. Thomas C. Catching Catchings 1847-1927 of Hinds County Mississippi joined the Confederate Army in 1861; was admitted to the bar in 1866 and was a perennial politician. unknown
1845réf. 28130Claiborne County MS 1845. Folio manuscript broadside 8" x 13" in a neat legible hand. With a detailed plat drawing at head. Lightly tanned and worn. Small corner tear costing a couple of letters. A few expert tape repairs to fold splits no text loss. Good. The document shows several tracts along Kennison's Bayou which is likely what is now known as Kennison Creek running between Bayou Pierre River and Big Black River. Kennison's Creek was the site of a Civil War skirmish on May 3 1863 between Grant's Union forces and Bowen's Confederate forces. The 1850 Federal Census for District #3 of Claiborne Mississippi lists James A. Hutchinson as a planter aged 53 born in Georgia; and Wm. Dotson as a planter aged 55 born in South Carolina. Dotson Hutchinson Turpin and Shelby were all listed in the 1850 Federal Slave Schedules as owning slaves with Hutchinson and Turpin each owning more than thirty such. Shelby and Dotson are also listed in the Civil War Soldiers & Sailors Database as having served with the 1st Regiment Mississippi during the War. unknown
