Some time back there was a TV special about an orphanage in Jacksonville, FL that sold babies who were up for adoption in the early 1930's. Has anyone done research that led them to an orphanage? Does anyone remember the network who showed this special, or the name of that orphanage? Thanks for any help. Anne
Does the marriage license say the name of the parents? Wiley James Reeves was married to Amanda F. Johnson on December 23, 1856 in Maury County. I have looked all over for Amanda's parents. Thank you. Jackie Barnes

Eva or Erica, I must have missed the first posting about Francis Marion Bell, but I will go ahead and respond here. Eva I know from corresponding with you in the past that you have family in Maury County so the Francis Marion Bell I have may be the one you are referring too. I have a Francis Marion Bell who was my 2nd Great-Granduncle. He was born 25 Sep 1837 in Tennessee and died 12 Dec 1878 in Mount Joy, Tennessee. He is buried at Bailey Cemetery in Mt. Joy. His tombstone is in very bad shape now. He was the son of William H. Bell and Elizabeth K. Hall. He married on 17 Oct 1860 in Lewis County to Elizabeth Williams, daughter of Calab S. Williams and Ruth S. Pickard. Hope this helps and would love to hear more.

Lister, I see your predicament if your Mary P. Littlefield is the same as a Mary Polk Eastin Littlefield. She is mentioned as the wife of William Littlefield in Maury County Tennessee Cemeteries by Fred Hawkins as interred at St. Johns Church Cemetery. Assuming we are talking about the same person there is not much chance that Mary is listed or a photo offered on the web site, Many Cemeteries of Maury County Tennessee, by Wayne Austin & Mary Bob McClain Richardson either. However, an open grave space or area without a stone beside William's grave is very good evidence that she was interred there. St. Johns was not documented close enough to determine that by any researcher that I know of. St. Johns: LITTLEFIELD, William, 1 Feb 1845 - 15 Sep 1899. (Corp. Co. C, 19th Tenn Cav., C.S.A.; wounded at Resaca; mar. Mary Polk Eastin on 24 Nov 1865.) LITTLEFIELD, John Eastin, 30 Apr 1871 - 19 Mar 1955. LITTLEFIELD, Mamie Fisher, 15 Nov 1874 - 11 Dec 1956. She might be in an unmarked grave at St. Johns Cemetery or she might have followed a child after the death of William to another area and been interred there. Trace the children (if any) especially the married daughters to examine all their cemetery sites and you might find her grave with one of theirs. However, that might be in another county or even in another state. If your mentioned death date 1911 is correct she outlived her husband William by about 12 years or plenty of time to move away to a child's home. There is much assumption above but to find her you must take a position as to what you think might have happened to Mary in life and proceed to trace based on that assumption. Wayne Austin
