Hello all. I have some more info to share on my Mary Elizabeth Liles. I have been looking for info on Mary's first husband, R.F. Hughes. Thanks to list member Joe Hardiman for providing me with a lead to pursue. R.F. could possibly be Riley F. Hughes b. abt. 1850 in Limestone Co., AL. In the 1870 census of Lawrence Co. I found Riley's brother, Hugh H. Hughes who was married to Mary J. Brandon March 11, 1869. Chances are pretty good that Riley is our man but what happened to this joker? By the 1880 census, Mary and four Hughes children are living back with her parents, Thomas D. and Elizabeth (Holt) Liles in Lawrence Co. Mary E. Liles remarried July 5, 1882 in Lawrence to Andrew W. Lacroix, son of Jacob Lacroix and Mary Radford. Andrew was about 20 years older than Mary and she would have brought her four young children into the marriage. Apparently, Andrew and Mary had two children of their own: Mable Lacroix born May 1884 and married T.W. Smith; Alford T. Lacroix born May 1887. Perhaps there are descendants of the Lacroix family who might know something of what happened to Mary's first husband and their children. Any Lawrence Co. Lacroix family out there? I would love to hear from you! Lots of info to share. Tracy
