Do you have any idea of the age of Sarah Mitchell when she married Rev. Joseph Mitchell? Or where they were married? I've got Dr. Milton in Conecuh Co--1830 & 40 & 50 censuses; and if I'm not mistaken, at some time, the late A.D. Clark had compiled some historical information on Dr. Amos for someone; however, we didn't get any of his works when he passed away. If there's anything I can look up for you here at the library, let me know, and I'll see what I can find. In Mary G. Brantley's book: "Settlers Along the Old Federal Road, In Conecuh & Monroe Counties" it has the following excerpt: William B. Amos was born abt 1822 & died 18 Nov 1901. He was the son of Dr. Milton & Susan Reese AMOS. (Dr. Milton Amos came to AL in 1819 & served as Postmaster at Belleville in 1840.) Wm. B. AMOS was a merchant near Burnt Corn. First marriage was to Julia A. GREEN, born 9 Nov ___(incorrect--reads 1932) & died 2 June 1856. His 2nd marriage was to Katie Ivey, 6 Apr 1880. Wm. Amos served as Capt. in the CSA. Children by 1st marriage: [1]Mary Louise AMOS, b. 3 Feb 1850-d. 22 Aug 1931, m. Alonzo Judson LEE 21 Dec 1871 (he was born 12 Oct 1842-d. 22 Jan 1919) Both are buried at Burnt Corn Baptist Church Cem. [2] Sarah AMOS b. 1851 [3] John M. AMOS m. Josephine HIGDON, 16 Oct 1878 (poss. Josephine CRAWFORD) [4] Lawrence N. AMOS b. [none]--d. 16 Dec 1920 m. Phoebe IVEY--b.--d. 16 Oct 1905 [5] William (Billy) B. AMOS, Jr. b. 1858--d.1882 (killed by RR engineer) William B. & Julia Green AMOS are buried in the John GREEN, Sr. Cemetery near Burnt Corn. [This information was compiled by Mrs. Gertrude Stephens, Spanish Fort, AL}--she is still living and I've her address, if you need it. Thought I'd pass this info along, though I feel like you've already checked it out; and the offer still stands if I can find something here at the library for you re: Milton Amos and daughter mystery.
