Eliza Melinda Helms - Alabama
I am seeking information on my gr gr grandmother, Eliza Melinda Helms, who married Jefferson Davis Satterfield.I have been told that her father was Thomas Helms (her siblings were Decey and John, whose mother died when they were young).Following the death of his first wife, Thomas remarried Mary Abel and had additional children.I am told that Thomas died after drinking poison (which he thought was whiskey) while Eliza, Decey, and John were in their teens.I am also told that Eliza Melinda was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, however, she converted to Methodism when she married Jefferson Davis Satterfield.I would love to hear from anyone who might be able to help out on any of these folks.Thanks!
