    3. Would anyone on the site happen to be researching these names or the GERMAN surname? I just learned that my great grandmother's full maiden name was Mandy German HUZEL/HUGHES/HUGEL/HUGLE. Depending on what source one is reviewing. She was born in TN and I have found her in the 1870 Henry County census, showing her as Amanda JONES and to be 26; although the spelling in the census is HAGUL for her mother, who was living with Amanda and Marshall JONES. I feel that the name "GERMAN" could be a family name. Her mother is listed as being Tabitha, age 47. In the McEvoy Funeral Home book, Amanda Jones is listed as GERMAN, MANDY, age 77. It shows her father as being Marshal Jones. This is an obvious oversight, and it shows that she was married but doesn't give a husband's name. She died in 1921 and it shows my grandfather, Lawrence Jones and his brother Charlie, as being responsible for the funeral. So I know it's the right woman. To further confuse the names, it shows in the McEvoy book that Mandy's mother was HUZEL, Tabitha. However, in the 1870 census it also shows other children, William, age 7; Samuel, age 3 and James, age 8 mos. Then it shows Mary HAGUL, age 14 and Tabitha, age 47. I was always told that Mandy's last name was "Hugle, Hugley, or something like that." In 1942, one of my uncles died and it reads that his father was JONES, Marshall and his mother was HUGEL, Manda. Later, in the McEvoy book, it shows where my aunt died in 1943 and reads that her father was JONES, Marshall and her mother was HUGHES, Amanda. HELP!! Also, I'm available to do look-ups in the McEvoy book if anyone needs it. Thanks, Virginia
