Calhoun,Caldwell,Adams
I'm at one of those brick walls. My gmother, Beulah Calhoun was born in Mo. in 1881. Parents, William Calhoun and Amanda Caldwell. Grandma Beulah had a brother Arthur and a sister, Emma. Family story says that her mother, Amanda raised them alone. She worked cooking and washing for the men who worked the "river" ( don't know which one. Grandma Beulah m. Boyd Allen Adams and had 5 children; Gladys,m.William Sprague,Pauline,m.?Willoughby,Ethel Mae, m. Paul Long, Rusleen(my mother),m. Fred W. Bailey.
If Amanda raised her children alone,was she a widow?, was she divorced? Amanda b.11/13/1842, d. 11/13/1932. She died in Mayfield, Ky. Don't have any info on where buried. Most of the family lived around Mayfield, Ky., and in W.Tenn. (Rusleen b. in Martin, Tn. 1918.
By 1920 Beulah and Boyd are in Ky.
Does anyone have these names in their family ???
I'm lost and confused. Please help. Thank you.
