Our visit was filled with a bit of fear, much laughter, and by the time I was ready to leave, a friendship between to unlikely cousins (cousins by marriage) emerged. He taught me so much more than I could teach him. I must say that his stories were wonderful but what I think we both shared was the love of Poplar Hill. The feelings that I have for Poplar Hill and the history that exists about the families that lived in this place, for it can only be called sacred. This place called Poplar Hill, Jefferson County, (the first established county in the State of Mississippi) is a living history for our family. Love, You Cousin Willie for teaching me so much more than any history book
