California. They also had a son, named Howell S. Baxter, who married Ruth Wallace and moved to Jackson, MS. Ida also had three children that died young.
3.	Olive Bell “Dora” Rankin - bom June 3, 1883, and died on July 19, 1941. She married George W. Bilbo, and they lived on the old Thomas Baxter place which is located on Hwy. 13, about four miles south of Baxterville, MS, in what is now Lamar County. Olive and her two old maid aunts, fell heir to the old place after their older cousin, Nathan Land Baxter, died in 1911. Olive and George Bilbo had: Vida (fem), Velma, Herman,
R.T. (son), D C. (son), Elbert, Houston, and Hubert Bilbo.

They had: John, James, Robert “Haskell,” Scott, Richard H., and Hollis. Haskell and Richard lived near Columbia and were very helpful to us in researching this group of Stanfords.
5.	Nathan Dewitt Rankin - bom January 7, 1889, and died on July
14,	1941. He married Della Holston, and they lived in the old Rankin home. They had: Mary Jane (she married a Russell) and moved to Gulfport, Susan (married a Mizell), David L., John

IX.	Delila Stanford - bom August 16, 1816, according to the John Stanford, Sr.
Bible. She appears in the 1860 Harrison County, MS census as bom in 1816 in Mississippi and again in the 1870 Harrison County census as bom in MS. She was no doubt bom in upper Hancock County or lower Marion County shortly after her parents left Georgia. She married Allen Hudson on February 4, 1844, in Marion County. Allen was previously married to Frances Rulner Flaherty who died on June 14, 1843, according to Mrs. Calvin Entrekin. By his first marriage Allen had: John Franklin, Martha Matilda, David Lemuel, Pocahontas Randolph, Allen Bolivar, Marcella Flurry, and Julia Josephine Hudson that married Thomas
G.	Entrekin, the son of Matilda Stanford Entrekin as discussed earlier in this paper. Delila Hudson appears in the 1850 Walker, TX census with husband, Allen, her children, and step-children. She is listed as age 34, and bom in Georgia. Next she appears in the 1860 and 1870 censuses of Harrison County, MS with her husband and children. Based on these two censuses, Delila and Allen Hudson lived in “Mississippi City,” now part of Gulfport, and later north of Pass Christian. Delila appears last in the 1880 Harrison County census living with her son, Claudius Hudson. She says she is 53 years old, and bom in Georgia. A descendant told us that they finally settled in the northern part of Harrison County, west of Lyman. The question is, where was she bom? Two censuses say in Georgia and two censuses say Mississippi. We feel she was probably bom in MS and will use this until something more specific can be found.
We will now name Delila and Allen Hudson’s children. The following dates and information came from two sources. First is a descendant, Mrs. Leo
