Looking for information concerning Williamson Gay and his wife Mary Ann Nix through their daughter Mary Frances.
Listed on the 1850 census of Perry Co. AL, Dublin Beatare the following Gay families:
Wm Gay age 50 farmer b. GA
Lucy C. (William Gay married Lucy C. Wyatt in Jasper Co. GA)
Mary E. 18
Martha J 15
?????? F 14
Joseph W. 10
P.? F 8
Next to William and Lucy is another son
William Henry Gay 26
Rebecca G. (Reed) 29 (wife)
Two families between William Henry Gay and Williamson M. Gay
Williamson M. Gay 32 also born in GA
Mary A. Gay 23 b. SC
Cornelia J. 3
Ferdinand J 2.
There must be a relationship between Williamson Gay and William Gay however have not been able to find the connection.The answer might be in Jasper Co. GA.
Williamson Gay is listed in 1860 census, Plantersville Beat, Perry Co. Al (now Dallas Co. AL)
His age is 42 b. GA
Mary 30 b. AL
Cornelia J 13
Fernando J. 11
Martha L. 8
Susan A. 7
Pennea P 5
John G. 2
Mary F. 5/12
Mary Frances Gay married James N. Barnes, son of Alexander Barnes and Amanda Elizabeth Campbell who are also listed on this 1860 census.
Ollie Barnes b. ca 1883, daughter of James N. Barnes and Mary Frances Gay married James William Gay, son of William Henry Gay and Rebecca G. Reed.
I am reviewing my Barnes Journal to see if the name Nix is mentioned, however I do know there is a Welch cemetery in Dallas Co., however don't know if there is a connection to the Welch family you have listed.
Willing to share what I have...this is my first cousins line, however we join over and over again to the Barnes and Campbell lines of Dallas Co. AL.
