Check your dates ma'am. You have some 5s that should be 4s. Did the women ever get mile-long obituaries like the men did?
ReplyDeleteJust checking facts . . . I have your Mary Elizabeth in my tree as a sister of Susan Ann Chinn (1838-1872) . . . and I show Susan to be the wife of Isaac Shelby Kirtley . . . and he is my 4th cousin 3 times removed . . . do you happen to have birth and death dates for Isaac?
