The mother was a House Keeper, she may have been working for the children's father's family. Also, who lived on either side of her in census , may be relatives. I notice the son's name was WILLIAM, could this be the father's first name also or the paternal grandfather's given name? Also, could the name be mis spelled. Perhaps , it should be MORMAN or NORMAN! I found my Amyett family spelled Amyt on the 1850 Yalobusha Co. census, which one of my Amyett great uncles married a Ramsey girl from the Pine Valley, Yalobusha Co. area. I hope these little tid bits give you a lead. Best of Luck; Evelyn Crocker Lafayette and Yalobusha County CC
