on John H. Nunnery
A historical marker on Amite Co, MS hiway:
"John H. Nunnery. Across the road is site of home built by John H.Nunnery, early settler of Amite County. He had eight sons in Civil War,one in Sp.\Am. War. New Zion Baptist Church was organized here, Oct., 4,1881."
******************************************************************
All of the following abstracted from the Nunnery Book by Hollis F. Nunnery

John H. Nunnery and his first wife appear to have gone to Alabama to livewhen they first married. Their sons, Henry, Joseph, and John, are listedin the 1850 Census of Amite County as having been born in Alabama.

When John H. Nunnery returned from Alabama to Mississippi, he settled inthe neighborhood where later New Zion Baptist Church was organized. Hisold residence is still standing, although in poor condition. His sonssettled in the same area. As time went on this section became known as"Nunnery Town". A postoffice was established and named Nunnery.

When John H. Nunnery died in 1885 he was assessed with 600 acres of landin three adjoining sections. It has not been traced as to how much landhe owned during his prime years.

John H. Nunnery and his wife, Elizabeth Holloway, had ten sons and onedaughter. The daughter died as a young woman and not much is known ofher. In the cemetery near New Zion Church, formerly known as the NunneryCemetery, there is a broken tombstone or marker with the first name off,but Nunnery, born November 1, 1840; died November 2, 1858. It isthought this marks the grave of the daughter, Jane.

The names of the sons: Henry, Joseph, John, Reuben, David, Samuel,William J., George, Richard, and Zachariah E. Nunnery. Eight sons werein the Civil War. Joseph was on his way home on furlough when he died atPort Gibson. He was brought home to be buried. William J. Nunnery was aLieutenant, and killed in the Battle of Atlanta, GA. Reuben was woundedin the Battle of Stones River, Murfreesboro, TN. George was captured andheld as a prisoner of war for 18 months in Rock Island prison, RockIsland, Illinois. When the war was over and he was released, he walkedfrom there all the way home.

John H. Nunnery married (2) Eliza Annie Hughey August 24, 1859 in AmiteCounty, Mississippi. She was the daughter of James Hughey and wife SusannWilson Hughey. She was born March 30, 1836, died October 30, 1888 and isburied in the Nunnery Cemetery. They had the following children: NapoleonB., James A., Griffin, W.O., Susie, T.J., and Elizabeth who was known asBettie. John H. Nunnery and his two wives had eighteen children in all.

The Nunnerys were among the most thrifty, energetic, honest, hard-workingpeople to settle in Amite County. We, of this generation, cannotperceive the thrift and energy that abounded in their generation. Theyworked early and late and late and early as some say. They were fond ofgood horses and mules and kept the best stock in the country. It hasnever been said that anyone ever saw one of these oldtimers with a poorhorse or mule. Their mules, horses, buggies and wagons were of the best.

As neighbors, they could not be surpassed. Nothing was too good for theirfellowmen. The Nunnery women were equal to the men in every respect,with an added touch of beauty, which the men did not always have. Thesecharactristics are still to be seen in the descendents of John H. Nunneryand Elizabeth Holloway Nunnery and Eliza Annie Hughey Nunnery. TheseNunnerys were prosperous and good providers. New Zion Baptist Church is amemorial to them.

But alas, Time changes things. "Nunnery Town" is no more as it was knownin days gone by. The strong church and good neighborhood built up byJohn H. Nunnery and his sons is still carried on by his descendents andothers who have come in by marriage and otherwise. They carry on whilethe dear old ancestors sleep the peaceful sleep of the faithful.
