• Notes

  Harriet Echols, also came from Pittsylvania County, Virginia to Marshall County, Mississippi, in the late 1830s. Jeremiah and Harriet were third cousins. Their line of descent goes back to "Old" John Echols and Mary Cave; Jeremiah descending from John and Mary's son, William I, through William II and William III; and Harriet descending from John and Mary's son, Abraham, through Joseph Echols and Elizabeth Street and their son, David Echols and Dinah Tribble who married 3 June 1802. When Jeremiah and Harriet married in Marshall County, Mississippi, on 12 October 1841, they made their home in the adjoining cunty, which was then DeSoto County, Mississippi. Tate County was formed out of DeSoto County in 1873. The children born to Jeremiah and Harriet were Joel Turner, Susan Luvenia, Mary D., David E., and Frances Jeremiah. Jeremiah and Harriet lived on land owned by his brother, John, until Jeremiah's death, at which time John, who had moved to Texas, sold that land so he would have no holdings in Mississippi to see about. Harriet, being a strong person in both personality and perserverance, managed to buy 300 acres of land in the Crockett area, and later bought other land connected to the 300. The Echols' had donated a plot for a Baptist Church and space for a cemetery in that area. It was in that cemetery that both Jeremiah and Harriet were buried. In the 1990's I went into that area to locate the land and the cemetery. The church had been gone many, many years; but I learned that the cemetery had been destroyed in abut 1937 when a new road was cut through. An elderly gentleman who owned and lived on some of the land that Harriet had bouhgt in 1856, showed me where the cemetery had been. He lived there in 1937 when the road came through. I asked him about the tombstones, and he told me they were simply covered over with dirt scraped from the hillside as the road was made.
