Hi Mississippi Researchers.... I haven't sent this post in quite a while so I'm hoping someone new is on the list. My "brick wall" is my gr,gr,great grandmother. Her name was Elizabeth Mary (also went by Mary Elizabeth) ?. Her surname is a total mystery. She married my grandfather, R.W. (Robert Wesley) Tillman in approximately 1846-47. Census records show she was born in AL, but here's the confusing twist. My grandfather was born in Tennessee..... By 1850 his father and siblings were in Greene County, MO and R.W. and Elizabeth were their next door neighbors with 2 children. The oldest being 3 years born in MS and the 2nd being 1 year old born in MO. R.W. Tillman was born in 1822 and Elizabeth Mary was born in 1827. Since she would have only been 20 in 1847 when their first child was born, I am suspecting that my grandfather probably went into her own home town to meet and marry her. Since their first child was born in 1847 in MS...I'm thinking she was living in MS. I have no idea what county though.... My plea to this list is could you all look at your family history and see if you have a one ELIZABETH MARY born in AL in 1827 who you possibly knows married a unknown TILLMAN or possibly you don't know who she married.???? Help :) Below is my family info on the TILLMAN'S who is the family ELIZABETH MARY married into. Possibly it may sound familiar to someone??? 705. SAMUEL TAYLOR TILLMAN, son of Joshua (424) and Chloe (Taylor) Tillman, was born November 4, 1800 in Chatham County, North Carolina, and died January 4, 1864 in Greene County, Missouri. He married first Patsey or Martha Perry. Issue by first marriage: Gida, born 1825, John Calvin, born 1826, Robert Wesley, born 1822, and Newton Jasper, born January 1, 1832. Mr. Tillman married secondly August 3, 1833 his sister-in-law Mary Carter Perry, who was born May 16, 1810 and died August 12, 1890. This second marriage was performed by the Rev. Joseph McCord, at Shelbyville, Bedford County, Tennessee. Issue by second marriage: Oran Mentor, born October 4, 1835, Margaret, born May, 1834, Samuel Andrew Jackson, born May 9, 1837, Stanley D. born February 18, 1839, Martha W. born August 30, 1841, Caroline, born July 7, 1843, Paralee, born September 27, 1845, Joseph Albert Madison, born July 7, 1848, Lucy Taylor, born September 14, 1850, and Louisiana, born 1851. 708. ROBERT WESLEY TILLMAN, son of Samuel (705) and Patsey (Perry) Tillman, was born 1822. He married Elizabeth M. --, surname unknown. Issue: Calvin W. born 1847 in MS, and Alvis W. born 1849 in Greene County, MO. Robert Wesley and Elizabeth Mary Tillman eventually moved into Arkansas where they died. Robert Wesley died in approx 1890-1900 in Clark County, AR and Elizabeth Mary died 12-26-1910 in Clark County, AR. Any help would be sooooooo much appreciated. Pam Tillman-Goff
