ADAMS, Mary /MOM-in-law/wf age 84 AL/AL/Al + widow + 1m age 20 Other researchers report that Mary also married a Mr "E.A. RICHARDSON" but if she did it was before or after her marriage to John Wesley Sammons in 1866 and she had no surviving children from that marriage. However, in 1910 Mary states she had only married TWO times........ Mary was the daughter of Aaron Ellis NUNNALLY and Isabelle [GRAY] who died in the early 1860's in Shelby Co Alabama. Any information, dates, names etc to help fill in these many gaps will be deeply appreciated. Kathye
