Manerva Slate
I am trying to find the family of Manerva Slade/Slate.
My family has been told the family changed their name back and forth between many variations, so, we can't seem to find her. All help in my search appreciated. Do you know who her family may be?
She was b. in TN abt 1823, according to the 1860 census, when she had married her 2nd husband George Sloop. 1st husband had been Wm. Proctor in TN abt 1838. (although there is a family conflict over other part of Wm. name)
Manerva family was supposed to have come from the Carolinas or Georgia into TN, where she was b. and md 1st time. By 1850 she had left TN, and remarried in MO 1858.
Moved to AR by abt 1860, disappers again by 1870.
