I have Polly May ( Probably Polly was a MARY) married to WADE USSERY. I have not dates for these folks, as the info was found on various pages of un-sourced genealogical info of my grandmother's. I also have a DEMPSEY USSERY married to EMILY JOHNSON, a dau of OBEDIAH JOHNSON. Married 3 Mar 1852. SOURCE:Marriage Record Book Madison Co.Tn. 1838-1871 I don;t know if these Usserys are related although it's my guess that they are. I have EMily Johnson Ussery's place of death as Missouri, no date. She was born ca 1834, which I calculated from her age at time of 1850 census. I have no dates on Dempsey. Don't know if that helps at all.

It was only a day later, so one would think he would have remembered. The same censustaker was listed on both pages. _____
