• Notes

  m. VAN BRACKLE per FaG; but Bryan Co. marriage shows 'E. R. Murrow m. Thomas A. Inman 10 Apr 1887' - Van Brackle vs Inman needs reconciliation. [LIKELY; CONFLICT flagged]

Sharlotte Donnelly insists that this Elizabeth is the daughter of John Murrow and Mary Amelia Louisa Badger Murrow and the second of three wives of this William Van Brackle and that they had one son, Joseph. The 1850 Effingham County, Georgia census lists an Elizabeth as the daughter of John and Mary Murrow. The 1860 Bryan County, Georgia census lists Elizabeth as William H. Van Brackle's wife. After much research I can find no documentation whatsoever. No birth, marriage, census listing her and the children of his other wife, death certificate or their child Joseph's birth certificate to support that this is that Elizabeth or that the William she wants me to link to is the correct William. -------------------------------- Wife of William H.
