Evelyn, Someone mis-interpreted Meary for Mary because of the end loop in the handwritten "M" at the beginning of her name. Meary and Mary are the same, and is the one indexed at Ancestry as Mary Sizemore, Division One, page 82. On that sheet, Mary is listed as age 80. Ancestry also indexes a Massy Sizemore in Baldwin County on page 233, but there is no Massy Sizemore indexed at Genealogy.com, and there is no page 233 in Baldwin County. Page 233 on that reel falls in Barbour County, so I didn't find anything for a Massy Sizemore at all.
