we know that he was a prison “captain” at the Baton Rouge
penitentiary. William E.

The 1900 census of Lowndes County, MS. has Mary C. Clarke and children Sarah Lee (Sallie), Annie B. and George Clarke living on the Wright farm near Caledonia, MS. with Joseph Frank and Lucy Clarke Wright, her daughter. It further shows that Mattie D. Clarke Wright, also her daughter, and husband, Reuben Hollis Wright were living next door on the Wright farm owned by Elias Garner Wright. Mary married James Thomas Clarke on 18 Nov 1860 in Mayhew, Clay County, Ms. James was born on 20 May 1826 in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina.

The
family settled in the Tibbee Creek area near Mayhew Junction, Lowndes
County. They had one child, Sarah
Lee before James T. Clarke joined the CSA. After his capture at
Vicksburg, MS. on July 4, 1863, he
was parolled and returned to his farm where they had 9 more children.
After James T. Clarke was killed
by a farm hand in 1885, Mary Catherine Clarke apparently moved to the

He returned to his farm in what is now Clay County (formed in 1871 from part of Lowndes County and had 9 more children after the Civil war. According to family information passed from his daughter, Anne B.

Lowndes County, MS. Joseph married Laura Ann Alford daughter of James Thompson Alford and Ann Eliza Clayton on 17 Dec 1868 in Lowndes Co., Mississippi. Laura was born on 27 Jan 1849 in Clay Co., MS.

I do see she is buried in Lone Oak. Her tombstone as recorded in the 1980's says Dora Lee Mays Randolf May 29, 1858 June 11 1890. Others buried in the same plot are:
Albert
Sidney June 3, 1890 Sep 13, 1890 I got lists from a reading of the cemetery in the 80's by a group of gals in Lake Co. who read most of the cemeteries over about a 10 yr period. Then I went around 2002 to the cemetery and copied the names they had listed in their office. Next we will be walking the cemetery to see which has the correct info when there are discrepancies as there are in your case with the last name. Hope this helps. Check back again to see if we have completed the cemetery. It will probable take a couple of months at least as it is one of the largest cemeteries in Lake.
I
would love to have a bio on any of these you would care to share with
me for the bio page on the Lake Co
Site. Pictures are appreciated as well. Dora married Joseph Henry Randolph son of Joseph Tucker Randolph and Susannah Marion Reed on 25 Dec 1879 in Oktibbeha, Mississippi. Joseph was born on 18 Aug 1859 in Oktibbeha County, MS. He died on 3 Jul 1927 in Lake Co., FL. He was buried in Lone Oak Cemetery, Lake Co., FL.
Not
sure if this is the right Dora Mays. She was born about 1858 which
would have put her at age 21 in 1879. Joseph and Dora had the following children: 28 F i. Lucy Lee Randolph was born in Feb 1882 in MS.
29 F ii. Callalilly Randolph was born on 2 Aug 1886. She died on 26 Oct 1897 in Lake County, FL. She was buried in Lone Oak Cemetery, Lake Co., FL.

The
family has very little knowledge of D. B. Mays. He was born in the
middle of the Civil War (1863). Dallas married Alice Rowena Goode on 26 Jan 1888 in Clay Co., MS. Alice was born on 25 Oct 1866 in Jackson, Jackson Co., Mississippi. She died in May 1958 in San Saba Co., Texas. She was buried in Richland Springs Cemetery, Richland Springs, San Saba Co., Texas.
The
Goode family is well documented by other researchers. The family can
trace it’s lineage well back to about
1200 A.D. Alice Rowene Goode of West Point, MS and Big Spring MS was
the daughter Charles Augustus
(Gus) Goode and Susan Coggin Goode. This family had the following
children: Leona Bandy Goode,
Ellen Wade Goode, Laura Wade Goode, Betty Aycock Goode, Clarence
Goode, Ned Spaudling (Ed)
Goode. Her mother (Susan) died on 27 JUL 1886 and her father (Gus)
married Mollie Coggins. A recent reference to this family was written by Louise Goode Shannon. Entittled "Goode Family", it can be found in special collection libraries at major universities and libraries. Bob Goode of Texas A& M and the Washington Redskins was Alice Goode's nephew. [2.6.1] Robert L. Goode is listed in the Texas A&M Association of Former Students. He graduated in 1949 with a degree in physical education (PHED). According to the Letterman’s Association, “the last information we had on him showed his address in Cambridge OH. He has since moved and we do not have his new address”. Tom Goode of West Point, MS is the son of WALTER L. GOODE was born 16 Aug 1915 and died 24 Mar 1995. His grandfather was Walter L(eslie) Goode. Tom also claims that he thinks they had a “Gus” in the family. Walter L. Goode was the son of Charles Augustus Goode and Mollie Coggins Goode and therefore a half-brother to Alice Rowena Goode. After her husband’s death, Alice Rowena lived with several of her children including Emmett Hilary, Ora Lee, and others until her death in 1958. Dallas and Alice had the following children: + 32 M i. Rev. Emmett Hilary Mays was born on 12 Mar 1889. He died on 12 Dec 1970.
