My information, although it is undocumented, is that Mary Shrum, the 4th of 17 children born to Peter Shrum and Sarah Beckie Lovelady, was born in 1812 in Smith County, Tennessee, and married Robert Gammons about 1828 in Tennessee. I have no information on children. > > Ed DeWhitt > > > -- "B & B West" <geefer@sti.net> wrote: > From: Ruth Muhleck > . . . .who married Carroll Shrum. . . . . my main family Shrum > > > Hello, Ruth, > Do you have any information on Mary "Polly" SHRUM, born somewhere around 1809, and believed > by some to to be a daughter of Peter SHRUM and Sara LOVELADY.
