Inverness Named BY Member Of
Local. Family; McInnis Plantation

The following feature article
which recently appeared in the
Delta Democrat-T Times of Green
vile will be of interest here where
the families mentioned have long
been identified With the history
of Moss Point.
Miss Addie McInnis was the
late Mrs. Jourd Rollins and until
her death lived at her home To-
Gated on McInnis Bayou on the
River Road which was rebuilt on
the site of her girlhood home
which burned in 1919.
Miss Hattie Mcleod, who de-
spite her advanced years still
takes an active interest in the af-
fairs of the clan, lives with her
niece, Mrs. Mellien McInnis
Turner on Bellview avenue.

die McInnis, whose eforefathers
came from Inverness, Scotland"
We were wrong.
II all started when the Delta
Democrat Times published a let
ter on January 4 from Robert
Bayne, overseas editor Of til e
Peoples Journal, a Dundee, Scot
land, newspaper. He wanted to
know how the Mississippi town
happened TO get the same name
as the one in Scotland.
Senator Jones wrote US on jan
uary H. He mentioned Miss Nc
Innis' nephew, William McInnis,
Jr., who is now living in Green
vile. So we called at the McIn-
mis- home.

There we found Mrs. William

to be Nellie Lee of the Virginia
Lees. Yes, she used to live at
Inverness with the accent on

Scottish %ancestors) and sh e

ABERDEEN, Wash.s- Dan'l
Boone, partly remembered for
having killed a bar in a tree, had
the right idea, in the opinion of
Jack Ekstrand.
Ekstrand, ~ veteran big game
hunter, says bears are getting so
thick in this coastal mountain
area they have become a menace
to the timber crop.
The bruins go after second
growth fir when food Is short in
the early springs They pick on
go to 70-foot trees and rip the
bark away. The raiding was heav-
Ter this year when the berry crop
was late.
The hunter believes the bear
population hereabouts has in
creased from three to five times
in the last quarter-century. "They
are becoming more destructive
than cougars, picking on livestock
and poultry as vii as the tim !.
ber.h saws Ekstrand.
The state regards bears as game
animals. Ekstrand thinks bruins
should be classed as ~predators
and hunters permitted to bang
away at them freely.

thought 1t was Miss Adde'S moth
er, Mrs. Addie Mcleod McInnis
(also her husbands mother) who
named the little settlement that
began soon after a railroad split
the old McInnis plantation almost
so years ago.
She wasn't sure, so she wrote
to Miss Hattie Mcleod, 94-year-
old first cousin of the late Mrs.
Addie, who could remember it
al. She did. Miss Hattie said
"it was Big Cousin Addie (the
mother) who chose the name In
verness for the town in the Delta
because she admired the Scottish
Inverness so much. A castle was
there and she thought the name
lovely. She was very proud of
her Scottish blood.
But Not Ancestral Home
There Is no connection, how
ever, between the McLeods and
Inverness, Scotland. John Nc
Leod came from the Isle of Syke,
Scotland to South Carolina be-
fore the Revolutionary War, in
the 1760's. The McInnis clan came
from Paisley. near Glasgow,
Scotland to North Carolina be-
fore they moved to the Delta"
This should settle for the time
being anyway the mystery OF
