Can you give me some dates on Jemimia Morris Gilmer, and on the Mary Gilmer that married Obadiah Prestridge?I have a Jemima Morris, dtr. of Levi Morris & Sarah Hudspeth, but Levi & Sarah were b. abt 18021804, and Married Aug 22 1826,so this Jemima would have been b. after 1826.She had a brother Jonathan Levi Morris, b. May 1829.However, I also have that this Jemima Morris was the 2nd wife of Willam Robt. Gilmer, and their dtr. Mary that married Obadiah Prestridge was b. abt. 1815.Obviously something is very wrong here.The dtr. Mary, being born 11 years BEFORE Jemima.My info is coming through the Hudspeth researchers.I'm thinking I've got two differenct Jemima's here, and someone's gotten them mixed up.So far, I haven't been able to locate any of these folks, in any census records, so I'm having troulbe figuring out what's wrong.I have Levi Morris & Sarah Hudspeth marrying in St. Landry's Parish, La.Wm. Robt. Gilmer & Jemima's kids seem to mostly have been b. in Tenn., and some then went to Texas.Any info, on dates, census records, etc. might help me check this out.Thanks.
