I don't have a Letitia on my list of Bennett & Charity Joiner's
children, but it's a very cobbled-together list and I make no claims one
way or the other as to accuracy.

Georgia Ann is said to have been born at Camilla, Indian Lands (later
Baker, then Mitchell County), on 15 January 1819. She married Jacob
Benjamin Sellers in Pulaski County, on 11 September 1838 and they lived
in Sumter, Schley, Dooley, Terrell and probably Calhoun counties at
various times. Jacob Benjamin apparently owned no land, and they moved
about quite a bit. In 1860 their oldest son George W. Sellars was
living in the household of his mother's first cousin Alfred/Alford
Joiner in Camilla, Mitchell County, and their oldest daughter Sabra Ann
Sellars was living in the household of Lindsey Garret in Dooley County
along with a 74 year old woman named Sabra Ann Joiner, who was a
midwife. I believe that Sabra Ann Sellars may have ended up (called
"Ann Sellers") in the household of Georgia Ann and John Pollock in
Camilla, Mitchell County, in the 1900 census. I have a theory that
Georgia Ann Joiner/Sellers, died in childbirth with twins Georgia Ann
and Alford in 1862, but both she and Jacob Benjamin Sellers died in 1862
per information in an affidavit in their son George W. Sellars'
Confederate service record after he died in 1863 (he was wounded at
Funkstown MD in the retreat from Gettysburg and died later in the
Confederate hospital at Kingston, Georgia). But frankly the family just
destructed in 1862 and they are very hard to even dimly follow in
records after that.

Anyway, what can you tell me about Letitia... date & place of birth,
other names or nicknames, etc.?
