Who was my John Jarvis???
My GGGrampa John Jarvis......
He was born abt 1795 somewhere in South Carolina....if I go by the 1850 Census Shelby County,
AL....but then in 1860 Shelby County, AL it gives his birth date as abt 1796? But both has South
Carolina as his birth place....He married a Jincy who was born about 1815 in South Carolina according
to 1850 Shelby County Census, AL....but then in 1860 states she is Jane S. born abt 1817 in
SC...their kids...man their kids....
According to 1850 Shelby County Census,AL (1) John was born abt 1833 in GA (2) Joshua was born
abt 1836 GA (3) William was born abt 1840 GA (4) Carter was born abt 1842 *(5) Newton was born
abt 1844 GA* (6) Alexander born abt 1846 GA (7) Easter was born abt 1849 GA......Now in 1860
same place....(1) George born abt 1840 GA (2) Carter was born abt 1844 AL *(3) Newton born abt
1847 in AL* (4) Anderson born abt 1849 AL (5) Eastha born abt 1852 AL
Why 2 dif places for kids? Why they age gaps??? Where did John go??? Are William and George the
same person..possibly William George Jarvis OR George Willia, Jarvis?...
My GGGrampa Newton was born 1844 but why 3 year diff in census..beside the facts we all know
:)....Newton Jim Jarvis of Aldrich, Alabama was born 12/25/1844 in Coosa County, Al. He enlisted
Sept
9, 1861 as a private in Montevallo, Ala. He served in Company G 20th Alabama Regiment until the
close of the war in 1865. Confederate Soldiers.

Jimmie Lee would be a female name????
**I have a Great Aunt Lillie who married Thomas Holsomback and Great Aunt Lillian who married
John Clark...both sisters Lillian was already married and Lillie married 1915...but Census only had
one and just said Lilly or Lillian....Aunt Martha was married by this census....
My GGramma's real full name was Aneney Adaline Lucas/Lucus...found nothing on her parents......I
do have her and Grampa's marriage license (a copy)..Gramma Jimmie's death cert...GGrampa's
death Cert......
Can any one help me here? Thank you................please don't ask about all the marriages for the
children of Newton James and Aneney....let's just say they basically maried the same names
almost............
