Mississippi Map 1839 Excerpt

This map represents the direct route north from Pike County Mississippi to the Copiah/Hinds County Line where the Rhimes, Ferguson, Clower, and Haley families eventually settle ( a few offsprings of the original pioneers remained in Pike County)

In 1820 we find Little John Rhymes just south of Silver Creek at present-day Simmonsville near Willis Simmons the progenitor of the "Silver Creek Simmons"

Brothers(?) William 'Rymes" and "James Rymes", along with brother in law(?) Samuel Ferguson were all in Pike County in 1820

Interesting to note that two of Williams's daughters married two sons of Willis Simmons.

In that decade this group proceeded to move to Copiah, from a Choctaw Indian word meaning calling panther, which was organized in 1823 as Mississippi's 18th county [5]

The first in this extended family group that moved to the area was Jacob Haley who surveyed the townsite of Gallatin. His daughter(?), Permelia Haley, married into the Ferguson family and daughter Elizabeth Haley married Joseph A. Ferguson ; Abraham L. Ferguson married Matilda Haley February 1825. A nephew of Jacob, Elbert Haley, married into the Rimes family. There are other possible connections.

Samuel Ferguson, husband of Mary Ann Rhymes, was perhaps the first family to make the trek north to Copiah since Elizabeth Haley was married to married Joseph A. Ferguson in Copiah County on the 13th December 1824. Elizabeth or "Betsy" and Joseph gave 3 acres of land to County Line Baptist Church. This donation of land to the church is recorded in a deed signed by Joseph and his wife 22 September 1835. [6] County Line is on the Hinds/Copiah county line is notated on this Post Office map as Line Store

LittleJohn Rhymes and Miriam (Clower) Rhimes settled north of present-day Crystal Springs and the Copiah/Hinds county line. Possibly in the vicinity of Rhymes Road.

William Rimes purchased land in Pike County just north of Silver Creek on Love Creek (present-day Dykes Crossing) and died the same year in Copiah County.

It is possible (but not yet proven) that Kennedy P.O. indicated in Copiah County was establish by Williams daughter's family. Mary Rhymes, born 1814, who married James B. Kennedy in Copiah, Ms
