Mary,
I too would like more info on the tombstone. My Great-Grand-Father was
Andrew Jackson Camp, son of James "Seaborn" Camp and Mehaly Beavers,
born May 9, 1834, died March 24, 1907. Seaborn was married a 2nd time
to Elizbeth Parish. Children I have of this marriage were born in the
time frame you mentioned.
Questions; Could the "E F" you mentioned be "E P"? Would someone name
a
child of a second marriage the same as one by the first marriage?
Bob
Bob,
I am descended from Seaborn and his second wife Elizabeth (Sissillia)
Parish. As far as I can tell, they lived their entire married life
in Clayton County, Georgia near the Flint River. There is a small
cemetary on the property that has a number of graves with the only
one marked being Seaborn's. Elizabeth was buried in the Baptist
Church cemetary in nearby Riverdale, Georgia. They had a son of
approximately 18 months old to drown after falling into a well and
Elizabeth had to retrieve his body. I believe that child (also
Seaborn) was buried in the Riverdale cemetary also. Elizabeth was
the granddaughter of Hinchey Mitchell who shares an ancestor in
common with Margaret Mitchell.
