Mary Ann Garner, TN to MO
I am trying to find the correct ancestry for Mary Ann Garner born Nov. 3, 1825 in TN, married Levi Robert Breshears Nov 10, 1846 in Benton CO., MO and died June 30, 1890 in Hickory or Benton CO., MO. I have a copy of their marriage which states a Justice of the Peace married them Nov. 10, 1846 but it was not recorded until Jan. 15, 1847. That accounts for a difference of about 2 months which some have online. However, I'm finding Elisha G. Garnerborn 1807 & Elvira James born 1812, married about 1827 as her parents. Those dates or those parents have to be in error. Her mother would have been 13 when Mary Ann was born, 2 years before her parents marriage date. Some online accounts say she was born Nov. 3, 1835--that too cannot be the same Mary Ann--she would have been 11 when she was married. I have been to the cemetery and have good readable pictures of her and Levi's markers which I will send to anyone wanting them. The 1870 census of Hickory CO., MO (adjoining Benton CO.,) gives both Levi and Mary A. 45 years old making them born in 1825 in TN. I found a Luke Garner age 46 in the 1850 census of Benton CO and land patents for Luke, Sanford & Benjamin Garner in the same general area of MO. Could one of these be her father?
I would really like to find her line. Can email me [email protected]
