Surnames: Knowles, Ransom Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ic.2ADI/1213 Message Board Post: I am researching my maternal grandmother's family; her mother was Mary Jane Knowles, born August 6, 1828, in Greene County, to Britton C. Knowles and Rebecca Ransom. Her father died while she was still underage, her mother reportedly remarried , and she lived with an uncle (reportedly, Isaac Knowles) who left Greene County . Any information about the Knowles family of Greene County would be very much appreciated. I would also like any information on Isaac Knowles as well. Mary Jane married Norflet Ray Wilkins in Russell County, Alabama, on September 16, 1847, and she died there August 26, 1900.
