Certificate Number: 53-14977
So Jake, John and Joe are with Mary Catherine Selby in 1900… Jake also in 1880..
But she said she had 10 children born 9 living in 1900 – If Jake, John and Joe are hers we have 3 too many not counting Mahala …daughter Rebecca Jane Wyatt died in 1890.
So… do we have 2 Sam Wyatt’s in Cumberland Tn? I can only find 1…
Does he have multiple wives or a mistress (Lizzie) and Mary raises all the kids?
Melinda Caroline Wyatt was born October 9, 1878 – tombstone
Arthur Jacob “Jake” Wyatt was born December 13, 1878 – death certificate
John Tillman Wyatt was born March 3, 1881 – tombstone
William Sampson Wyatt was born September 21, 1881
Joseph “Joe” Wyatt - March 9, 1885
Riley C Wyatt - April 19, 1885
Can't all be Mary's kids but they were with her in census records.
James Simeon “Squire Jim” Wyatt 1900 census lists Mahala Emmaline “Haley” Wyatt as a boarder not a daughter, wife Ann would have been 14.. she is a half sister?
Why are they in Mary’s Census records and not Elizabeth Patton? Who is Lizzy?-b |
