8. Emma /
Emily Mahaffey, born c 1852.
She married Freeman W. Touchstone on 12 December 1878 in Simpson Co Mississippi
Freeman is the son of Green Powell Touchstone, & Cyrena Hall, I find
him aged 18 years in the 1870 census of Simpson
Co Mississippi, where he is living with his parents, so his birth year
would be c1852.
*
One researcher shows that Freeman had married to Frances Gates on 13 January
1876, prior to marrying Emily.
***
An 1870
Simpson Co census shows an Emily Mahaffey, aged 18, is
living with Albert.
However, she is not
in the 1860 census. Kevin Davis, whom I have never met, but who is
said to be
very thorough in
his genealogical research states that she was the daughter of Robert &
Catherine,
and so I will accept
that. I wonder if she might be the same as Martha. |
|
|
Emily and Freeman moved to Louisiana, according to Kevin Davis,
and had several children, but I
have not as yet located
them on any of my records |
