Hello all, I am looking for some sort of documentation on the marriage of Joesph Melvin and Mary Copeland. After Marriage they moved across the border to Marion County SC then into Georgia, Alabama and finally Florida. In either Georgia or Alabama Mary Copeland died. Joseph then married Sarah Jane Pouncy. Sarah was younger than some of Joseph's children. Joseph while walking on his property, Joseph was killed in 1863 by a Yankee soldier buried where he died. The uncertainty about Mary Copeland is that Joseph's brother George married a Mary Jane Copeland. George and Joseph both moved to Marion District South Carolina; therefore, some researchers feel that early members of the family mixed the wife up between Joseph and George. I would like something to show if there were two Mary Copelands married to Melvins and both relocated to Marion county South Carolina Mary widow of George is still listed in Marion South Carolina in the 1850 Census.
