Message Board Post:
Since it has been called to my attention (by two people early this morning) that I failed
to give a dob for Mary, I will add the following:
Mary Chambliss was born October 9, 1806, in Wilkinson / Baldwin GA.
She married Joseph Warren George in Monroe GA, December 27, 1825.
I have not found a record of the second marriage to Seaborn Durham but her obit says May
1828...I think this would also be in Monroe Ga.
I BELIEVE that Mary (Polly) is the daughter of Zachariah Chambliss of Monroe GA and that
the Clerk of the Court made an error when he copied Zachariah's original will into the
will book....the will book names a daughter "Sally, now Durham"... I think that
it should read "Polly, now Durham."
She is the mother of General James Zachariah George of Mississippi...and the following
Durham children:
Nancy George b. 1831 GA
Virginia America b. c1833 GA
John Mathew b. c1835 MS
Eliza Love b. 1837 MS
Rebecca Lafayette b. 1840 MS
Georgia b. 1842 MS
Eugenia b. 1847 MS
And one more child who apparently died yougn and does not appear on any census.
