It's a small world, so they may have. My mother's parents were well known
in Tupelo...Murrah and Onnie Nichols. Other surnames in our family were
Bain, Dabbs, and Whitesides. There were other relatives in Nettleton,
Shannon, and Shiloh, which are quite close by.

Before moving to Memphis when Elvis was still a child, the Presleys lived
in East Tupelo, across the levee.

Cheers!
