Semi retired pharmacist. Interested in ancestry, my great grandfather William B. Raiford fought in Civil War and was captured when Vicksburg fell in 1863. He was later paroled and went to fight again until end of war. Native Mississippian, my grandparents (the Williamsons) were from Covington County, MS as were my great grandparents. I am new at findagrave.com. My father, mother and brother are all buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg, MS. The Raifords (my other grandparents) were from Amite County dating back to early 1800s.
