Question:

What are the names who the Indian tribe that lived in the Mississippi state?

I have a great-great-great aunt whose last name was Casey. She lived in Mississippi. She is buried on the top of Casey Mountain, in Mississippi. The mountain and alot of the land in the area belong to her. Her father was well-off. He gave each of his children 40 acres each.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The best thing to do would be to trace your aunt's genealogy. Do you have the date of her death? An obituary? Those would be good places to start. If you live in MS, go to the county seat of the county where Casey Mountain is located. Go to the library and ask if there is a local genealogical or historical society. They can tell you what tribe lived in the area, and may be able to tell you if your aunt was a member of that tribe.

If you don't live nearby, go to www.usgenweb.net/ms and click on the county name where Casey Mountain is located. You'll go to a genealogical website that should give you general information plus links to researchers and historians. There should also be a link to a query page where you can ask your question there.

Good luck!
