If anyone has access to census records, I've been looking for Jack Delaney, father of Annie Mae (married Fields) and Elmore Delaney. Jack was born about 1860 and died after February 04, 1898. He was married to Emma Hall Delaney (August 10, 1868-August 19, 1896). She is buried in Hall Cemetery in Emanuel. I don't know what happened to him after his wife died. I know that Emma's sister Georgia H. E. Hall (wife of John J. Faircloth) ended up raising her kids (2 kids that I know of - a third died in a fire). I've checked the census records that are online at the USGenWeb. The 1880 Census is only partially done. That census might be my best bet. 1890 might pan out, as well. My local historical library doesn't have the census records for counties outside of my own area. :-( Thanks. Tara --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
