Hi Sharon, That Mary doesn't sound familiar but I don't have a whole lot on my Sammons side, they were quit elusive. I have a John Sammons Jr. who married Delilah Downey who either divorced or left John and married Elias Buchanan. As Delilah was married to Elias in 1871. She married John Jr. in 1860 3 May, Randolph Co. Ark. They had one son, John H. Sammons in 1868. They could of had more but I don't know. Delilah did have 2 more with Elias Buchanan. Alice P. and Louisa B. Buchanan 1874 and 1876. I know that the Sammons (most) didn't read or write and that is why the name was changed around so many times. No matter how indirect they are in my line, I'm always hoping it will bring me closer to another relative. Oh, and Delilah was born in 1841, John Jr. 1831. Thanks, Kara Kara S.- Enjoying the genealogy puzzle!
