Hi Kay. Okay. Go ahead and shoot me on this one. I read my notes wrong. I
clearly have written down "Mary and her three brothers" not "sisters"
as I
typed. I suspect the brothers were Johnson, Alexander J. and Joe since
they were the three youngest boys. I show a total of 9 children for Johnson
and Mundana Carrico with Mary and Sena being the only females. I have the
boys as
Winton, abt 1859, Alexander abt 1861, Freel abt 1863, John Wesley, abt 1865,
Johnson abt 1868, Alexander J. abt 1869 and Joe abt 1870. Sena was abt 1857
and Mary was abt Dec 1872. If I have anything wrong here please let me
know.
Do you have a death date on Mundana? I don't show a date of death for her.
My guess is the Uncle is Andrew and his wife Anne. I show them with 6
children as follows: Richard, abt 1857, Stella abt 1858, Claud abt 1860,
Lelia abt 1862, Grover abt 1864, and Alma abt 1865. Correct me here also if
I have anything wrong.
I wonder if it is possible during the census they didn't give the names of
these 4 kids since they weren't their children. I would assume that Mary's
father was still living!
Hope this helps.
