I have posted the above for researchers benefit, I discovered my Amyt aka Amyette family on the 1850 Yalobusha County census, North of the Yalobusha River operating   Plantations, I mentioned this to a local researcher and they informed me that the Yalobusha River was in Grenada Co. that Yalobusha was the mother county from which Grenada was taken so I decided to see when this all happened. So, if early census said your ancestors were in Yalobusha county and you can't find them on the 1860 , 1870 census , look in the above two counties which was created out of Yalobusha.
