the education of young women,
and under the special auspices of
the Methodist church. The walls
of this academy are still stand

of the state capital to Jackson,
the shifting population. and 9TH

Port Gibson. Another -four
ishing city which had its small
beginning as a station on the old
historic Trace is Port Gibson, in
Claiborne county, known on the
old maps as Gibson's Port. 1t
was located at the point where
the Trace crossed the Bayou
Pierre. When Claiborne county
was organized in 1917, the resi-
dence of Mr.. Gibson. a pioneer
planter, which gave the name to
the station, was about three
fourths of a mile from the Bayou,
in what is now the upper part of
the town. The devastating tide
Of war passed over its site and
made it's name immortal, but at

passed the city advanced rapidly
to its present rank and influence
in the commerce of the state.

The Tupelo journal., 1913-08-08

here that the mother of the his
torian. Claiborne, was married to
the Rev. David Cooper, and many
of the distinguished men of early
Mississippi history spent a por-
ton of their time at this then inn
portant place, the seat Of justice
for the county. Among these
were George Poindexter, Joseph
Davis. CHRISTOPHER Ranklns Ed
ward Turner and others. 1t is
said that Jefferson Davis went to
school here when a little lad,
boarding in the family Of Sheriff
Jordan. 1t may cause some of
the warm friends of Old Hickory
to scott to recall the accredited
fact that he, in those early days.
for a time followed the business
OF a negro. trader at this place.
A proof that this fact was not
taken with the best grace at that
day is that in several political
campaigns, his followers were
compelled to swear by the etern-
al that he did not. 1t was near
Old Greenville t that General
Jackson is said to have married
Mrs. Robards, at the home Of
their mutual friend, Thomas M.
