I have many ancestors that moved to Scott County in the 1800s. My great grandparents John William Evers and Hannah Ann White were married there in 1862. Their families traveled there together from Georgia. Both families had deep roots in NC where some members remained. Other family members stayed in Georgia and Alabama along the way.
Hannah’s sister Susan Maria White married Absalom Taylor Beasley. Another sister Eva Nespa White married David Allen Singleton. Yet another sister Hellen White married Jackson Kight. The parents of these ladies were William White and his second wife Sarah Ann Robertson. Their brothers have been harder to track down. Most of the family stayed in the area and are buried there.
Parents of John William Evers were William Evers, Jr. and Mary Ann Sessoms. I haven’t been able to locate the graves of my grandparents or great grandparents. I believe many family members died in the yellow fever epidemic of 1875 or 1878. My grandfather and his brothers moved on to Yazoo and Holmes Counties, the area that eventually became a part of Humphreys County.
