Seen her name various ways. But dad's stone says LeFors.

m. Thomas McCarty per census & daughter Angie's book. Some say Thomas Allen. Some say Thomas J. Neither census nor daughter's book say. Sarah's stone says w/o James. Maybe it was Thomas J.?

m/o Infant Son (stillborn), Jeanette/Jeanetta "Angie" Angeline/Angelina Browning, Catherine/Katherine `Cass` Cerelda Newcomb, Farwick `F. C.` Claxton & Melvin

Angie's book don't mention sister Catherine/Katherine @ all. Says her dad wanted to move but 1st wife Rebecca "Becky" didn't so he he took 6 sons & left her w/ 3 daughters. Next he m. Sarah "Sallie" who had the above kids. She told children she was going to see sick parents & told hubby to get house in order while she was gone. She came back a few times to check on things. After he moved one gal in she threatened him w/ divorce & claimed she'd take her children back. Although he moved her back out Sarah still divorced him & spent years if not the rest of her life searching for her kids. I'm not sure about the rest but Angie claims once she moved off to TX she never saw her mother again.
