Sandy, Amanda Plasters was the 2nd. wife of Charles Mills COCKRUM. We had a discussion on the list re: Amanda PLASTERS & it was probably when you were in CA. Some posts suggested the possible parents of Amanda but no "proof"or documentation so I think her parents names remain a mystery. I have a copy of the marriage record for Amanda PLASTERS to Charles Mills COCKRUM but it does not name her parents. Amanda was living in the Hshld. of Gilbert SWEETIN in 1860. The Amanda Caroline PLASTERS who married S. M. VARNER is a different female.

I see this marriage for Charles M. Cockrum (2nd marriage I assume since he was previously married to Naomi Brown d/o of Stephen A. Brown and Elizabeth "Betsy" Spoon) I see the following marriage: COCKRAM, CHARLES M PLASTERS, AMANDA 1861-08-16 003 0304 FRANKLIN which seems to be supported by census records in 1870 and 1880 FCI. There appears to be another Amanda Plasters about the same age that married Singleton M. Varner in FCI: VARNER, SINGLETON M PLASTERS, AMANDA C 1863-04-08 003 0401 FRANKLIN Do you know who the parents are of the Amanda Plasters that married Charles Mills Cockrum? I see an Amanda Plasters in 1860 census living in the home of GIlbert Sweetin and wife Minerva and two kids. No other Amanda Plasters can be found in 1860. No Amanda Plasters can be found in 1850 census but I can find Caroline Plasters living with her mother Catharine Plasters and siblings. Sandy (Whalen) Bauer
