Note N287On 5 Jan 1841 John Parks of  Jasper county MS purchased 77 acres in section 13 and on same date Isaac Hollingsworth of Neshoda county MS purchased a number of parcel. Some of the land was in section 13 which means it was less than a mile to John’s land. Isham of Newton cty purchased land in 1859.

Isham owned land prior to this since he owned slaves prior to this since Isham owned slaves in 1850. 1

In Ancestry I found in 1850 that Isham owned 2 slaves in 1850 and I could not find any the 1860. Isaac owned 4 slaves in 1850 and 14 in 1860. The numbers may be slightly off. I did not find any Parks in Newton cty that owned slaves in 1850 or 1860.

The numbers may be slightly off.

Note N289He was a prominent man in Newton County. There was quite a discussion about the moving the court House of Newton County to a central location. This would have been half mile south of the Isham Holingsworth place on the road from Decatur to Newton. This is a very broken, hilly place and some thought not very suitable for a town. However, some town lots were sold. At old fashioned barbeque was given and a great amount of people attended. However, when vote was taken the court house remained in Decatur. This happened between 1842 and 1845.
