William reported in the 1910 census that he and his parents were born in Georgia and that he was 50 years old and had been married 28 years. They had two children: Sam (20) and Pearl (19), who was married to Floyd Adams for less than a year. In 1880 a number of Magness siblings, including a William H (age 12), were in the Jackson Miles household in Fair Play, Habersham County, Georgia as nieces and nephews. Jackson (49) was single and his mother, Mary Miles (82) was in the household. In 1870 this William H. Magness, age 1, was also in Fair Play in the Mary Miles household. His apparent mother, Verlinda Magness, was 25 years old. The other children were: Sophia (7) and George W. (4). Also in the household was Enos J(ackson?) Miles, age 40. In 1860, probably prior to the marriage of Verlinda to an unknown Magness, there was an Abner Magness, age 60, born in SC and his wife Delila (age 50) with the following children in the household: Francis M (25), Nancy (17), Elizabeth (15), William A (12), and Banjamin (10). Mary Miles lived two doors away and her son A.W., lived next door to Abner. In my mind, this makes Francis M. Magness the possible father of this William H. Magness and it also suggests that Verlinda was a Miles. W. McCollum > I hope I did this right.
