The children are said by secondary sources to have been born in "Holly Springs, [Marshall Co.,] MS." There is no Holly Springs in Tunica County; yet, based on the census, that is where they were in 1840. There is a "Hollywood" in Tunica County. Have the names Holly Springs and Hollywood been mixed up? Was there once a Holly Springs in Tunica County? GNIS says, no. Tunica Co. was formed in 1836 from Washington Co. and Choctaw/Chickasaw land, while Marshall Co. was formed in 1836 from Monroe Co., so it is not the case that Holly Springs, Marshall Co., was ever in Tunica Co.
