Good Stuff Debbie. Do we have Spencer married to the wrong Cordelia? I think so. Cordelia and Cornelia Amburgey are twin daughters of Hiram H Amburgey and Leodicy Adams. Cordelia Amburgey who married James Elam Stamper is dau of GW Amburgey and Mary B Smith. Boy, I wish I had Ruth Smith about now. She knew all these people.

I think we have Spencer married to the right Cordelia d/o Hiram H. Amburgey and Leodicy Dicey Adams. Mainly due to age of both Cordelia's on the 1910 census. On 1930 census where Madge appears as niece to Simeon & Mary Combs. She's the daughter of Watson and not Spencer, so she would still be a niece to Simeon. On another sideline to this: Cordelia Amburgey d/o George Washington Wash Amburgey and Mary Branham-Smith appears on 1900 census as single with 1 child living. Child Cullen b. 5/1899 also appears in this census. On 1910 census no Cullen b. @ 1900, but another son Cullen b. 1907. Watson Combs appears on 1910 census in HH of Hiram & Dicy Amburgey as son-in-law, with a Cullen b. 1903 and Ivian b. 1907. On 1920 census Cullen appears b. 1900. Wondering if this Cullen is s/o Cordelia (d/o George & Mary B. Smith Amburgey) and Ivian is s/o Bessie Amburgey d/o Hiram Amburgey and Leodicy Adams. This all hinges on whether I'm reading the ORB obit correctly and if the information is correct in the obit.
