Jesse isn't buried in Howell cemetery with lst wife or in Stewart cemetery with Amanda. I can't find Amanda with Jesse or either of her daughters in 1900 census. I have her death certificate of 1916, her marriage record of 1876, none of the information I've found offers any clue to her ancestry. Her daughter Eliza J married P G Plowman in 1898, Mary E married William T Peoples in 1898, and Minnie married WH Dinkins in 1909. This is one of my brick walls. Thank you for your kindness.

I agree with you that I don't believe that Sarah listed with Chapman Dinkins in 1850 was Chapmans wife. I do find that a Chapman Dinkins married Lidy Bovender in 1846 in Surry/Yadkin County. If the Chapman listed in 1850 is the one that married Lidy then she must have died before 1850. Mary Ann, Amanda's sister married John Miller in Yadkin County, NC in 11 19 1868. On her marriage record the only parent listed was Sallie Dinkins. Also Amanda died 12 20 1916 in Yadkin County, and on her death certificate the only parent listed was Sallie Dinkins. I would think that Chapman was her brother. So you might want to persue the parents of Chapman, and also John, and Elizabeth, who were listed in 1850. If I come across anything I will let you know Ron Collins Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
