Nancy Jane Screws/GA/MS
I am looking for ancestors of Nancy Jane Screws b. Aug. 04, 1845 in Ga. married John Newton Gentry in Pontotoc Co., MS. Pontotoc Co. Marriage records listed a Mary Screws mar. John N. Gentry Oct. 14, 1857. I don't know if this was my Nancy or prehaps a sister who died and Nancy later mar. John. No records list Nancy as being named Mary. Her father is thought to be Will Screws by one family member. She had three brothers in Pontotoc Co., names James mar. Elizabeth Poole, Obediah mar. Tilda A. Oglebee and Simon mar. Mary Terrell. There was also a John Henry Screws living in Pontotoc Co., in 1901 who was possibly her brother. John Henry was mar. to Mollie Unknown. Records show he had 2 sons, 2 sisters and 4 brothers but no names were listed. A Sam Screws age 60 applied for pension in 1901 inPontotoc Co. He could possibly have been a brother. Any help greatly appreciated.
