I am seeking information on the parents of Mary Josephine CAMBER, born
Greene Co, AL 1825 - 1833 married late 1840's James BOLER, son of Wesley
BOLER of Newton Co, MS. Living with the couple on the 1850 Newton Co, MS
census was a teenaged boy named William who was listed without a last name
(indicating that he was also a Boler) but was probably a younger brother of
Mary Josephine Camber, since he was also born in AL. This indicates to me
that the two may have been orphans at that time.
James Boler was killed in the Civil War and Mary Josephine CAMBER remarried
to a Mr. PIERCE, whom she only lived with for a short time. She died in
Kemper Co, MS in 1917 and is buried at Enondale Cemetery, near the Sumter
Co, AL line. Children of the marriage to James Boler were: Barnabas,
Elizabeth, Mary Virginia, Willie Ann, Fannie, James Hilry, Franklin Lee, &
Angie. Does anyone have information on this family?
