Mississippi: 1838-1843, DeSoto County – early Board of Police Records appear to show 3 or 4

people: McAninch, A., 1; McAninch, James W., 1, McAninch, William, 3; McAnnich, Wm., 7

(1, 1, 3, 7 is the number of times that the name appears in the Records). This Index was published

as “Board of Police Record 1838-1843”, in “DeSoto Descendants”, Vol.10 No.2, May 1992,

pg. 63; pub. by Genealogical Society of DeSoto County, Hernando, Mississippi, 38632.

 

However, there is only one man here – William McAninch, born 1804-1805, (prob. Lincoln Co.)

Kentucky, son of William McAninch, who died 1813, Casey County, Kentucky, and named five

sons in his Will. In 1840 and 1850 Census records, this son William McAninch is in DeSoto Co.,

Mississippi (8 children, 1850); he died there, Mar. 1854, estate administered by Maria McAninch.

 

William McAninch settled on the Coldwater River, ran a Ferry service first (ca. 1838-1839), then

built a bridge across the Coldwater, which divided early DeSoto County (southern DeSoto County

was set off as Tate County, Mississippi, in 1873, with the Coldwater as part of the new boundary).

 

“McAninch, A” is really “A. McKissack”, a transcription error [pg. 117, Bd. of Police records];

“McAninch, James W.” is also a transcription error, from first McAninch entry in these records --

 

“Ordered by the Court that Mr. Wheeler be Overseer of the Coach Road from

Hernando to McAninch Ferry on Coldwater and that he work the following hands  

B. D. Saunders + hands, He[unreadable]and + hands, S. P. M[unreadable] + hands,

W. McAninch, [Cr.? P.?] Dockery + hands, A. F. Bailey + hands, John P[R?][unreadable], Benj.

Condry, + any others not allotted to other Roads” [pg. 42] [previous entry dated 11 Mar. 1839].

 

The hard-to-read script sequence “+ hands, W. McAninch” has a “lazy +”, run together “+hands”;

with the scrawled ‘+’, it looks like “Jhands”, and was mis-transcribed as “James W. McAninch”.
