I have a genealogy poser that is a real lulu! If you can help, I would love to hear from you. Margaret H. SMITH (maiden name I think) born December 1846 in North Carolina (county unknown) Margaret married Unknown SHEPARD (born NC) before 1867. Child Maggie born about 1867 in NC. Mr. Shepard died or divorced. Margaret married Unknown THOMAS (born NC) before 1874. Child Minnie born in IL about 1874. Child Andrew born March 1876 in MO. Unknown Thomas died or divorced. Margaret married Greenberry Parker (born 1825 KY) Nov 1878 in Missouri. She spent the rest of her life with him and died about 1932 or so in Cass Co., MO. After all of that, my long shot question is: Does anyone out there recognize any of the information pertaining to North Carolina? I am trying to locate the county of birth for Margaret and maybe anything on Mr. Shepard or Mr. Thomas. Thanks for taking time to read this message. Hope to hear from you.
