In 1841 Col. J.F.H. Claiborne visited Jones Co, MS, recording his visit in his "Trip Through the Piney Woods," which was originally published in the Natchez Free Trader & Gazette.

He has 10 children, 13 grandchildren, & 15 blacks...His brother (Asa) had 15 children, has resided here about the same time, & never had a case of sickness."
