Looking at the Walton side of my small family tree and found some info from the 1880 Bolton,Hinds,MS Census.

It includes William Walton(30), wife-Arnette Walton(25),son-Eddie(6), sson-Henry(10), other-Ella(6), Caldwell(5), & Betsy(8mos). Seems Wm. is my ggr grandfather and little 6yr old Eddie will be my gr grandfather.

I also have an obituary for a Gaddis Walton(1894-1962),youngest son of Bill & Ida Walton, wife-Laura Walton.
In a great aunt's obit there is mention of one uncle Wren Walton and one aunt Lydia Fields of Memphis TN, inferring a brother & sister of Rev Edward Walton.

My grandfather's (Edward D Walton Jr) parents are Rev.Edward D Walton Sr and Beatrice Walton. They had ten children. I believe everybody was born in Bolton MS. Then they came to Chicago. I only knew of four-Granddaddy, Uncle Ivory, Auntie Josie And Aunt Ida. It was my understanding that the others were already deceased before 1963. And as of 2002, these last four are now also deceased.

Josephine Walton Rubin had two daughters, Geraldine and Doris Jean, both deceased. Ivory Walton had two sons, Ivory Jr and Arthur, both deceased. Arthur had two sons, Darrell and Lamonte Walton, who may be out there somewhere. And Edward Walton Jr had three daughters, Yohauntas(deceased), Josephine "Jo"(deceased), and my mother, Jeanette, age 76.

If there are any other long-lost cousins out there and you can add to our family tree, please don't hesitate to contact me at psblkwll@yahoo.com.
