2) John Carmichael, Sept 1, 1851, born c1825 died Feb.1860
3) Joseph Davidson, Oct 16,1860

Her first two marriages ended due to the death of her husbands from consumption(TB) and her third marriage appears to have ended by separation or divorce. Her last husband appears to have been a very bad stepfather. After this marriage ended, she went back to using the name of her second husband..

1) John Carmichael born c1856
2) Daniel Carmichael born c1857
3) Ferdinand H. Carmichael born c1860 M. Ereline Preston Apr 1885 in Madison Co., AL

(Family tradion is that all of the above children died young.)


She was a midwife according to the 1880 census. In 1900 she was living or staying with her granddaughter, Nellie M. Clark Anderson, in Tuscumbia, AL, a few months after the granddaughter's triplets were born. Dr Palmer, the husband's cousin, was there for delivery, but Marcella may have helped take care of the two surviving after they were born.
