Apr 1857 (she was 43). She had several children living with them from her previous marriage: Maud b. May 1885; Blanch b. Sep 1886; Willie W. b. Apr 1889; Rosa, b. Feb 1891; Mary b. Nov 1892, and David b. Nov 1893 (all Traynhams). After that she went on to have James and Amy Snipes. There's no way of knowing what her maiden name is, but her Traynham husband would show up on the 1890 census (isn't that the way it always is!) He probably died around 1898. (That might be a clue.) This info came from vol. 26, E.D. 24, sheet 16, line 23 of the 1900 census. Bill Alternate E-mail Address: wrs1940@netscape.net

I hope this is OK to make a comment here. There are no 1890 census, all destroyed except for a minute few and no one seems to know just what "minute few" they are. I think a fire caused the destruction of said census. If we had this census many of us could make better connections.

I note that her two sons were Wm. & David; the names of the two earliest TRAYNHAMS who lived in SC in that area. Let me look a bit more on her. I can just look up TRAYNHAM men who would have been the right age to be her husband, and then we can eliminate on the basis of who doesn't show up in 1900. That should help us. I can also look for Wm. & David in 1920; that may tell us something, too. Thanks, and I think we can find an answer to this. The 1880 is so easy; I can pull up all the girls named Sallie born in 1857, no matter what the last name is; then look at the district they are in. I'm sure they would be close to the TRAYNHAMS in Greenville or Laurens Co. I'll look tomorrow.
