Freserick and Rose moved from Newberry County SC to Blount Counts, Fred and Rose (Article in County History Book for Yalabusha Co., MS) Some of the county's pioneer settlers were Fred and Rose Counts, moving into the North-east corner of the county in the 1840's. Both were born in South Carolina, and were well up in years by the time they moved westward. Frederick Counts was born in 1774, Rose in 1780.(Proven incorrect per census) Fred's parents were both German: W. Henry Counts and Catherine Fello (English spelling "Fellers") of Newberry County, South Carolina. W. Henry Counts' father was Johannes Kountz, German, who came to Newberry County in the mid-1700'sand was given a land grant from King George III of England for 350 acres on Crimm's Creek, Newberry County, in 1751. Fred and Rose Counts had one son and three daughters. One daughter, Sarah, married Hillary Adams and they settled near Birmingham, Ala. (see "Wilks Adams and Kir") and later this family moved to near Banner, Calhoun County. As recorded by the 1860 Federal Census Julius and Emily Counts and children lived next door to Fred and Rose. Julius was probablya son. Julius' children were William, Wesley, Mary, Julius, Parata, Elizabeth,Lewis, John, Sarah Franklin, and Martha. Another possible son of Fred and Rosewas Henry Counts, who by 1870 lived near Banner. His wife was Rebecca. (Dickey) His children were William, Mary, Victoria, Emily, Elijah, Lucinda, John, and Permelia. Fred and Rose, with the help of grandson Wilks Adams and his wife Nancy, cleared land, built log cabins, and raised cotton beginning in the last part of the 1840's. At least one black family, Aunt Sal Counts, lived on the farm with them. Later when Calhoun County was formed from parts of Yalobusha, theCounts-Adams home place was in Calhoun County, but practically on the border of the Yalobusha-Calhoun county line. The Civil War greatly changed the fortunes of many, and the Counts family was no exception. At war's end Granny Countshad two cotton sacks full of Confederate money, now worthless. During the war "King Cotton" brought in good money. After the war, a hard life began, economically. Grandson Wilks Adams was conscripted into Confederate service, and hiswife Nancy having died, Rose "Granny" Counts was left with the rearing of three little great-grandchildren while Wilks was away. Fred Counts had died by the war's beginning. The three little girls, Sarah Ann, Paralee Jane, and Rose EmmaAdams in later years recall their Granny Counts as very mean, not even lettingthem use a comb to comb their hair. She would tie the comb way up in the attic, but when she wasn't looking they would pile boxes and chairs on top of each other and climb up and retrieve it. On at least one occasion Yankees stopped by and helped themselves to smoked hams and meat from the smoke house. Family tradition has it that Rose "Granny" Counts, although pretty mean, lived to a ripe old age. In the 1950's some logs from the original log cabins at the old Counts-Adams home place were crumbling, But still visible. The home place is a short way east and south of the Old Liberty area.
