Burt Family of Carmichael, MS
Hopefully one of the Burt experts here can help me. I am looking for information on my great-Grandfather John Franklin Neal. After the Civil War the Widow Neal caught a ride with a Dr. Holloman from Alabama to Mississippi. She was unable to support herself, JF and his sister so she gave him to the Burt family of Carmichael, Clarke County (John was about 8 when she gave him away - 1866?). They reared him, taught him farming and educated him. I have tried to find a census listing for him under the Burt's to no avail. He would not talk about his family so we have no clues as who his parents were or their names. If anyone has any info or clues I'd be eternally grateful!!
