Donna From: Linda McAninch <[email protected]>View Contact To: Donna Cooper <[email protected]>; Darla Marbut <[email protected]> ________________________________ Thank you, My great grandfather is James Weaver born 1816 from his probate and 1880 census.  Iv been looking for his first wife and some I'v met lately say its Nancy Hankins daughter of Amos & Mary Clevenger Hankins,dying abt 1860 possible in child birth.  In 1850 they found a James and Nancy with Francis Marion,William,Henry and John  boys ages match. My problem is there to young to be Francis Marion's parents, they counted back he's from James first marriage Nancy his second and Easter(Hester) Fare his third. It's really frustrating.There is 3 James Weavers abt same age 2 with Nancy as a wife. There county ranges were Barry,Dade,Lawrence and Greene.G.Granddad died in 1880 and is buried at Maple Park in Springfield.  I'm so frustrated I don't know where to turn Thanks tons for letting me vent.
