>>>>>>The current town square of Coldwater, Mississippi is located about two
miles south of the Coldwater River, hence the name. The original town
actually began as the village of Elm Grove in 1856.<<<<<<<

Does anyone know what the name of the area was before Elm Grove became
Coldwater? Before the village of Elm Grove...where would have been considered
living?

His granddaughter Georgia Ann Elizabeth Waldrop Thornton lived in DeSoto
County but when she died buried he was then living in St. Franicis, Arkansas. I
understand the Arkansas line moving overf. But I am lost as to where Green
Berry Waldrop might have lived in DeSoto County before Elm Grove was renamed
Coldwater.

Is there anyway anyone someone ask arond and find if there is a list that
names the families buried in the Waldrop Cemetery in St. Francis, Arkansas.

My gr gr grandpapa Rev. Green Berry Waldrop lived in DeSoto County
1840-1854.
He and his family lived in DeSoto County. Does anyone know the name of the
town he might have lived in? What the name was then in the 1840s.

Thanking you in advance.
