My grandfather, Jeff Truly from Fayette, MS, married Mattie Whitney in 1889 and became an avid genealogist interested in both the Truly and the Whitney lines. I have the bulk of his research which I used to compile and publish two books on the Truly family. Grandmother was interested in her Whitney background and was instrumental in forming the James Rex (Rix) Whitney Chapter of the DAR in Fayette. I have some Whitney papers and Bible records that I think would be helpful to researchers. I also have lists of tombstones that my cousin compiled by walking through small cemeteries in Adams and Jefferson Co.
