Deep in the Monroe County woods, fading like an old memory, lie the homes of our ancestors.  Is that the wind in the trees or ghosts of children's laughter ringing in the woods ? Laughter long dead and turned to dust; soon to be joined by the houses in which they lived. This site is dedicated to those ancestors - who they were, who they loved, some of their sorrows and some of their joys. 
In seeking and finding them, we find ourselves.

Easter Valley is a real place that lies along the Bartahachee River in Eastern Monroe County, Mississippi.  In the 1830's a group of families moved into that valley along the old Trace Road where they settled, farmed, lived, loved, died, and were buried.  This site documents what is known of those families and their descendants.  It is intended to be a living site - constantly changing.  Additions or corrections of information are welcomed by the author.
