My gg grandmother was Mary Chambers who was born in Georgia, date unknown,
but probably about 1840. She married Frank William Franklin (Frank)
Springfield ca. 1859.
A daughter Julia MISSOURI Springfield was born Aug 3, 1860 in Alabama.
Other children were Tom, Bart b 1862, Joyce b 1868, and William "Bill".
Frank and Mary both died in Arkansas.
It appears that Mary might have been born in Wilkes County GA. My reason
for this is that a "Mary Ann Chambers" 33, is listed there in 1850 with a
daughter named "Misourie" who is 11. That would not likely be my gg
gmother, but she could very well be related with a name like this.
Mary Ann lived next door to Martha Chambers in 1850. In 1840 a Wilson
CHAMBERS is on the same page with Martha in Wilkes with a wife 20-30 and
one daughter under 5. Wilson is not listed in 1850.
"Misourie" could also be "Mary Misourie/Missouri" and the one I am
looking
for. There are several other "Mary Chambers" in GA in 1850, and I wonder if
any of you have done any research on the family there in this time period?
Any thougts/suggestions appreciated. Thank you, Ed in Louisiana
