I am trying to locate Matilda after 1860.
Matilda was born about 1834 in Mississippi.
Matilda was the second child and eldest daughter of Jacob and Mary (Magee) Carr. She was married three times in Rankin County, Mississippi. Her first husband was Charles Chalmers Broadfoot who she married 6 May 1851. They had one known child, Willie J. Broadfoot about 1852 and died 12 May 1853 in Rankin County. He is buried in the Lodebar Methodist Church cemeterynear Pelahatchie, Mississippi.
Charles C. Broadfoot was a son of William Broadfoot and Elizabeth Jane Chalmers. He was born 1 June 1818 in Fayetteville, Cumberland County, N.C. and died in Smith County, Mississippi about 1853.
Matilda then married Seth L. Barrow 13 September 1854 in Rankin County, Mississippi. Seth L. Barrow was born about 1811-12 possibly in Tennessee or North Carolina. He was a son of William Barrow and Lydia Ann Barber. He was first married to Sara Elizabeth Barrow in Hinds County, Mississippi 6 February 1836. Apparently Sarah died prior to September of 1854. Seth L. Barrow died 21 June 1858 in Rankin County and is buried in the Lodebar Methodist Church Cemetery in Rankin County. Matilda and Seth Barrow had two known children: L. C. (Lee Carr) Barrow born about 1855 and Lallie Barrow born about 1857.
In the 1860 census of Rankin County, Mississippi, Matilda Barrow and her two children, L. C. and Lallie Barrow were enumerated in the household of Matilda's brother, William Carr.
On 25 October 1860, Matilda married John W. Finncane In Rankin County, Mississippi. He was born about 1835 in Ireland. He was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth (unk.).
Matilda's brother, William Carr married Jane Finnacane 24 November 1860 in Rankin County. The name "Finncane" is spelled in various ways in the censuses and the county records i.e. Finncane, Finnucane, Finucane, Finacane, Fincan, ect.
John W. Finncane and William Carr enlisted in Company "G", 28th Mississippi Calvery Regiment, CSA and both may have been killed or died whild in service. No records of them or their wives have been found after these dates. John Finncane's mother and some of his siblings may have moved to Yazoo County by 1870. Jacob Carr, father of Matilda and William may have moved to Smith County, Mississippi. Matilda and Jane may have died between 1860 and 1870, Remarried, or went looking for their husbands during this period.
L. C. and Lallie Barrow cannot be forun in the 1870 censuses. L. C. Barrow next shows up in Bosque County, Texas where he marry's Mary Ann Dicus on 6 July 1879.
He rasied a family in Bosque County and then disappears some times after 1901 but prior to 1910. Family traditions is that he left home to return to Mississippi to check on either a Barrow or possibly a Carr estate involving a Plantation and a sawmill and somewhere along the way he was robbed and killed or perhaps just died. Some family traditions say that L. C. Barrow ran off with another woman.
No other records of Matilda or her sister-in-law Jane (Finncane) Carr has been found after their marriages in 1860.
I am looking for any Carr, Barrow, or Finncane descendants who might have additional information on what became of them. Any information would be appreciated.
