On 12 November 1856 in TN, probably Lincoln Co, Hettie Frances Moyers (various spellings), d/o Samuel Henry and Sarah (Phelps) Moyers, was married to Benjamin A. Beard.  Hettie is listed as Ben's wife on census records of Lincoln Co, TN from 1860-1880.  In the 1900 census Ben is listed with another wife, and Hettie is not found.  Assume Hettie died between 1880 and 1900, but where?  No grave or record of her death and/or burial can be found in public records, etc.  Does anyone have a suggestion about another place to search?  Many thanks, Dixie

Well, I sometimes think divorce when they just disappear but it is equally possible she is buried with Benjamin but her headstone is missing or she never had one. Meantime there is a date range. Tennessee State Marriages, 1780-2002 Name:Mrs M C Cole Gender:Female Marriage Date:24 Mar 1883 Marriage Place:Lincoln, Tennessee, USA Spouse:B A Beard Eliz Not Today and Not without a Fight (Anon) For all that has been, thanks. For all that will be, yes. (Dag Hammarskjold) On Sat, Apr 2, 2016 at 9:57 AM, Dixie M.
