Hello,

Do any of you have information on a George W. Crenshaw and wife, Mary,
listed in the Choctaw Co., AL 1880 Census:

1880 Census Township 12RH, Choctaw County, Alabama, Beat #6, ED #16,
enumerated 16 & 17 June 1880, fam 41:
Crenshaw Geo. W. w, m, 51 farmer, b. GA, f. b. GA, m. b. VA;
Mary wife, w, f, 51, hkeeper, b. FL, f. b. unknown, m. b. unknown;
Elizabeth daughter, w, f, 15, asst. hkeeper, b. AL, f. b. GA, m. b. AL;

Mariah daughter, w, f, 9, at home, born AL, f. b. GA, m. b. AL;
George W., Jr. son, w, m, 11, farm laborer, born AL, f. b. GA, m. b. AL;
Mariam daughter, 7, at home, born AL, f. b. GA, m. b. AL;
Lucinda R. daughter, w, f, 2, at home, born AL, f. b. GA, m. b. AL.

I believe that their daughter, Elizabeth, was my Great Grandmother who
married Gerald Brown about 1888. Their daughter, my grandmother, was
named
"Mariam" Estelle Brown (b. 1891). Probably named after Elizabeth's
sister,
Mariam. Also another of Elizabeth's daughters was named Myrtice Myra
Brown (b.1889). It might have been Myrtice "Mariah".

Elizabeth Crenshaw and Gerald Brown lived in Phenix City, AL where the
girls were born, and later in Macon, GA and possibly Milledgeville, GA.
Gerald died about 1894 and Elizabeth married again to a H. T. Sanders.
She died
1900 and the girls were placed in an orphanage in Macon, GA until they
were
adopted out later in 1900.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a Great Day!
