General Notes

[edit]

"Orange Mound was named such b/c there was an abundance of Osage Orange trees in the area when it was still rural. I had many Italian relatives who lived and farmed there about 80 years ago." [2] -- verify this.

  • Formally Deadrick Plantation (1000 slaves lived there, many residents descend from them)
