I read with interest your message regarding your great-great grandmother, MandyWilliams. My great-great grandmother was also a Mandy Williams and I can't find out what her maiden name was. I have my great-grandmother's death certificate which lists Mandy and Henry Williams as her parents, I also cannot find out infomation on Henry. Your information fits somewhat, James H. might be James Henry. I know my great-grandmother had a brother called "Bud". That's all the family names I know. They lived at one time in Red Boiling Springs but probably also lived in Smith or Jackson County. My great-grandmother was Mary Williams Sircy. She married Beverly Sircy in Jackson County, TN, I believe she was born around 1870 and died in 1941.Her mother was Mandy and father Henry Williams. I also wondered about finding that a Henry Williams married an Amanda Pulley on Jan.11,1865. I believe that I also saw records at one time of the McClellan Cemetery and found the name of Amanda Pulley who was supposed to be buried there. You referred to her name as Amanda P. Williams. There is probably no connection but if you find any of this helpful, contact me again, please. -------------- Original message -------------- From: [email protected] > > My deep appreciation to John and Retta Waggoner for photographing and making > accessible the tombstones at the McClellan Cemetery (and to Charlie, the > webhost). > > My great-great-grandmother, Amanda P.
