• Notes

  Cannnot find in the 1930 census. Headstone in old family burial plot, Coffeeville, Miss. Information gathered June 1989 by Claudia Milstead. Words on headstone: GEORGE W. MILSTEAD JUNE 29, 1861 APR 18, 1938 "Bette" (Milstead) Tomlinson has copy of marriage certificate. Much of the family information from James Milstead (?-?) records. "Yalobusha County History," by the Yalobusha Historical Society, 1982, page F-226. "G.W." operated the family farm in the Pilgrim Rest section of Yalobusha County. Milstead family bible gives marriage date 21 Feb 1876, but dates are apparently hard to read. Birth date as 29 Jun 1851. On a sheet of paper in the bible his death date is given as 18 Apr 1938. 11/13/2006 (Sent e-mail to him this date) Robert Durwood Bellew / rbellew@houston.rr.com <http://genforum.genealogy.com/murphree/messages/514.html> On same page for the 1920 Fed/MS census are Murphrees, Milsteads, and Browers On same page for the 1880 Fed/MS census Milsteads. On the preceding page are Milsteads. On the following page are 2 sets of Murphrees.
