Hazlehurst Cemetery( Old Section)

Hazlehurst Cemetery is located in the town of Hazlehurst in Copiah County, Mississippi. It is one of the older cemeteries in the county. It can be reached from Interstate Highway 55 by taking exit 61 and going east for 0.7 miles. Then turn right on old highway 51 and go south through town. After you pass the Courthouse in the center of town go 0.3 miles and turn right on Fair Street. Go one block, and the cemetery is on the left. The oldest recorded grave is 1858. The new section of Hazlehurst cemetery is across the street from the old section.

There are approximately 812 identifiable grave markers. There are additional graves with no markers. The author made this listing on March 31, 2000. The information comes from the tombstones. In addition reference was made to World War I registration data, the Social Security Death Index database, the Federal Census, and the Copiah County marriage records. Where tombstones list birth dates and no death, that information was recorded. The individual may still be alive. Reference was made to a previous listing made in 1953 by Miss Francis A. Cook. Every attempt was made to ensure accuracy, but some stones were very difficult to read

A Simple Explanation of Cloud Computing

The following is a Plus Edition article, written by and copyright by Dick Eastman. 

Many of the articles in this newsletter refer to “the cloud.” Feedback from several newsletter readers indicates that not everyone understands what a “cloud” is in the Internet world. I thought I would publish this introduction to cloud computing and also explain how cloud computing is used to provide digital images of census records to millions of online genealogists.

Contemporary documents usually list the thirteen colonies of British North America in geographical order, from the north to the south.

New England colonies

• Province of New Hampshire, later New Hampshire, a crown colony

• Province of Massachusetts Bay, later Massachusetts and Maine, a crown colony

• Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, later Rhode Island, a crown colony

• Connecticut Colony, later Connecticut, a crown colony

Middle colonies

• Province of New York, later New York and Vermont, a crown colony

• Province of New Jersey, later New Jersey, a crown colony

• Province of Pennsylvania, later Pennsylvania, a proprietary colony

• Delaware Colony (before 1776, the Lower Counties on Delaware), later Delaware, a proprietary colony

• Province of North Carolina, later North Carolina and Tennessee, a crown colony

• Province of South Carolina, later South Carolina, a crown colony

• Province of Georgia, later Georgia, northern sections of Alabama and Mississippi, a crown colony

Other divisions prior to 1730

Dominion of New England

Created in 1685 by a decree from King James II that consolidated Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay Colony, Plymouth Colony, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Province of New York, East Jersey, and West Jersey into a single larger colony. The experiment collapsed after the Glorious Revolution of 1688–89, and the nine former colonies re-established their separate identities in 1689.

Massachusetts Bay Colony

Settled in 1630 by Puritans from England. The colonial charter was revoked in 1684, and a new charter establishing an enlarged Province of Massachusetts Bay was issued in 1691.

Province of Maine

Settled in 1622 (An earlier attempt to settle the Popham Colony in Sagadahoc, Maine (near present-day Phippsburg and Popham Beach State Park) in 1607 was abandoned after only one year). The Massachusetts Bay Colony claimed the Maine territory (then limited to present-day southernmost Maine) in the 1650s. Parts of Maine east of the Kennebec River were also part of New York in the second half of the 17th century. These areas were formally made part of the Province of Massachusetts Bay in the charter of 1691.

Plymouth Colony

Settled in 1620 by the Pilgrims. Plymouth was merged into the Province of Massachusetts Bay in the charter of 1691.

Saybrook Colony

Founded in 1635 and merged with Connecticut Colony in 1644.

New Haven Colony

Settled in late 1637. New Haven was absorbed by Connecticut Colony with the issuance of the Connecticut Charter in 1662, partly as royal punishment by King Charles II for harboring the regicide judges who sentenced King Charles I to death.

East Jersey and West Jersey

Settled as part of New Netherland in the 1610s, New Jersey was captured (along with New York) by English forces in 1664. New Jersey was divided into two separate colonies in 1674, which were reunited in 1702.

Province of Carolina

Founded in 1663. Carolina colony was divided into two colonies, North Carolina and South Carolina, in 1712. Both colonies became royal colonies in 1729.
