Parents of Dovie Ressie Rushing 1892-1978 Oxford, MS?

[LongTooth]

She married: Dewitt Talmage Harmon in Tate County, Mississippi. They are Buried at the Cambridge Cemetery in Lafayette County, MS.

Maybe someone here has access to 1900 Census records and can find her family? Possibly Ressie is Teresa??
mollyflan; Thanks you nailed the correct family. This will make a soldier fighting in Afghanistan quite happy as he had hit a brick wall.

TBD: Thanks for adding data and source citations

jan51601: WOW! thanks for so much work. I don't know which to pick as best. Thanks to all of you good people, It means a lot!
