Note*

The book The Georgians, Genealogies of Pioneer Settlers, by Jeannette H. Austin, pub 1986, lists her birth as 29 Jul 1836, in Franklin Co., GA. Author's note: I have not seen the proof that she was born in 1836. She would have been only 10 years old when Mary Caroline was born, so I would not tend to believe that she was born in 1836.
