Census information 1850 Chattooga Co for Lindsey Post has Amanda, age 14 and Makey/Mary, f. age 12 and John , m. age 12.John and Arminda were twins--named for their grandparents John Post and Arminda Shumate.
We know that Mary Post is married to Chancellor Floyd and living next door at that time.So---we can strike Mary off the Makey/Mary, age 12.My guess is that Makey may be misspelled and/or a nickname for Arminda.In 1860, she's Arminda.You're right though, Amanda hasn't been accounted for.she's not with elizabeth in 1860--could've been married.In 1860, there is a Rutledge, age 18.Could this be the William, age 7, in 1850 census?
