Home in 1860 census: Beat 6, Panola, TX, Post Office: Grand Bluff
Household Members Listed:
James M. Chitty, age 37
Martha Chitty, age 23
John Chitty, age 4
James Chitty, age 2
William Chitty, age 3 months
4. Mary Chitty, born 1863 in TX and died 1901 in Navarro, TX.
5. George Price Chitty born 1867 in Panola County near Marshall, TX married India Rosella Thurman on 23 Dec 1895 and George Price Chitty died 17 Jun 1927.
NOTE: George's father, James was age 44 and his mother, Martha was age 29 when George Price Chitty was born. George was under age 2 when his father, James died before 1867. His mother, Martha Louisa Page Chitty age 31,married Samuel Miles 15 Sep 1869 in Harrison County. Martha age 33, gave birth to her sixth child, Samuel Miles, Jr. born 1871 and records show she died 1871 in Hallsville, Gregg, TX probably in childbirth.
George Price Chitty was only 3 or 4 years old with no living parents. George Price Chitty had an older sister named, Mary Chitty, who was born 1863 in TX.
In 1880 United States Census shows a Mrs. A. Russell age 34 living in Precinct 4, Harrison, TX; with an adopted daughter named Mary Chitty age 17 and an adopted son George Chitty age 15 both of which can not read or write. Ages of Mary and George correspond with birth dates for our family members.
Now for my question; "What did Samuel Miles do with 3-4 year old George and 5-6 year old Mary when their mother, Martha Louisa Page Chitty Miles died at the age of 33"?
Why is it that our family descended from George and his son, Jesse (Jess) Lee Chitty the only branch that has the Cherokee stories in its verbal family history? Does Mary Chitty's family branch have similar stories? If so, then why?
What did Samuel Miles do with these two small children prior to Mrs. A. Russell, born in Tennessee, whose father was born in South Carolina, living in Harrison, TX, having them in her household?
Why are these two children who were from several generations of an educated family unable to read and write at the ages of 15 and 17?
I can not find Samuel Miles on any census after Martha's death, so where did he go with his new born son, Samuel Miles, Jr.?
Anyone with answers; please let me know...
