Brimer and wife S.J. (Sarah jane?). both born in AL. Trying to locate them in the 1870 Alabama census and a marriage record for them. They married in/around 1870/1871. children: A.B.(Beecham) b: 1871 AL R.M. (Monroe) b: 1871 TX (not twins) L (female) b: 1873 TX Wilton and Walton (Twins b: 1876 Tx) S.J. female b: 1879 TX This information came from the 1880 Rains County, TX census where S.J. is listed as head of household and a widow. J.C. must have died in 1879 right after/or before the baby was born. The census lists J.C. as A.B.'s father from AL..but does not say where A.B.'s mother was from, yet on all the other chldren is states that she is from AL...interesting, trying to explain how both A.B. and R.M are the same age both born in 1871 and 9 years old on census. If anyone can helpme locate J.C. and S.J. in AL 1870 census or a marriage record would really appreciate it. Thank you, Tricia Bailey Brimer
