I am at a brick wall with my ggrandmother & could use some help, from anywhere.
Amanda (Mandy, Mande) b. 13 nov., 1842-d. nov 1932. buried at Olive Branch cemetary,
Henry co., Tn.
Father, William Caldwell, Mother unk.
Married William Calhoun (?)
Children Beulah, Emma & Arthur
Beulah is my grandmother on my mothers side. Married Boyd Adams , Oct. of 1902; Henry co.
Tn., Both buried at Olive Branch cemetary, Henry co., Tn.
On the 1920 census Obion co., Tn. Amanda is 78 and states she was born in Iowa; mother in
Ky. & father in Tn. On the 1900 census Obion co., she is with Beulah who is in
school. on this one she states she was born in Ohio.
Trying to find anything on her, her husband or parents in Iowa, Ohio or in Mo. (where
Beulah was born) is driving me crazy. I keep coming up with zero.
In the same cemetary Amanda is buried i found a Lunar Haskins Caldwell. But in looking
him up elsewhere i get zilch. I tend to think he might be related somehow. Born 1882, d.
1945.
Couldn't find her husband on a pension file or her.
Thinking maybe he just up and left? The story is she raised the 3 by herself. Had to be
abt. 1881. In 1900 she is a farmer. Beulah told family her momma washed and cooked for men
who worked on the river. Which river? unk.
Between Ky., Tn. & Mo. it could be one of many.
If anyone can push me in the right direction or has any of these people in their
line.....i need help.
Thank you so much.
