His second wife's name is Louisa. He and Louisa had a daughter named Louisa born in August 1883 but she was called Dora. Dora married Adolphus Brown (called Dolly and son of Noah Brown) about 1897 because their first child (Letcher Sherman Brown) was born 1/8/1898. In the 1900 census (page 29) they are living with her parents and on the page following my grandfather, Mark H. (called Hardin) Shumate. In the 1910 census (page 25)they are living with their four children and Dora's widowed mother Louisa. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
