Several genealogies of the Terry lineage have George W and Mary C (or M C) Williamson, but mostly lack other details. Terry Pendley reports the first name as Mary, and also has a date of their marriage: 01 Nov 1865 in Chatsworth, Murray County, Georgia. This fits known information about the family of William Barney Terry and their residences. Ancestry Personal Tree, Terry Pendley, http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?tid=861748&pid=-162463323 Until February 2008, I could find no documentary evidence of George and Mary C's marriage or family. On 11 February I found the 1930 census with Mary as a widow in her son's home in Ripley County, Missouri. She was age 82, and her son Jacob was 54, married to a Mary A Terry, age 29. There was one son of the young couple, Jacob P, age 10. This lets us know some missing facts, even without the intervening details from earlier censuses. 1930 Federal Census, Ripley County, Missouri, 9 April, Union Township, District 14, page 3A, Warm Springs Arkansas Rd, Hse/Fam #43 Terry, John W Head M W 54 Married at age 22 MO MO MO Farmer Terry, Mary A Wife F W 29 [Age at marriage not reported] OK KS KS Terry, Jacob P Son M W 10 Married at age 22 MO MO OK Terry, Mary C Mother F W 82 Widow MO Germany France [b abt 1848] First of all, we learn that Mary is a widow, so George died before 1830. We learn also that Mary's parents both were born in Europe, her father in Germany and her mother in France. Mary's age tells us she was born about 1848, and her birthplace is reported as Missouri. Her son John was born in Missouri, which would seem to indicate that George W and Mary C met and married in Missouri. One genealogy, however, gives us one of the few details anybody reports. Terry Pendley says they were married on 01 Nov 1865 in Chatsworth, Murray County, Georgia. This is a location where members of the Terry family lived. Pendley, however, does not give his source. Further documentation is needed to clarify the meeting and marriage of George W and Mary C and how they arrived in Missouri. Since Mary was born in Missouri and we later find her family there, and the one son we know of was born there, this is strong circumstantial evidence that Mary and George married in Missouri. This census entry tells us that George W died before 1930. We also find that this is the second marriage for the son John W Terry. The census tells us he was first married at age 22, so this has to be his second wife. They were married about 21 years ago, when she would have been about 18. Her age at first marriage is for some reason left blank in this census.

Re: REMBERING "GRANDMA ALICE" dgresh6851added this on 19 Aug 2011 Phyllis, thanks for sharing. I, too, remember playing in the school yard across the street from Grandma Hancock's house, and going to the neighborhood store a few doors down to buy a soda or candy. Grandma Hancock's yard was filled with flowers and completely void of grass; she kept it that way. However, I don't remember ever being served 'possum -- and that I would have remembered. ------------------------------------ Alice's memorial on Find a Grave provides helpful informaiton to clarify some details and add dome concerning her life and family. This reports another husband, R P Potts, married about 1918, between Hasty and Hancock. This is not clear to me form the record. In the 1930 some members of a Potts family are enumerated in her household in 1930. However the husband is reported as a step son-in-law of Alice. If the husband named Potts was a (step)son in law, he would have married her step daughter. This is true, because her step daughter Florence Potts here is Florence Hasty, daughter of Alice's deceased husband William Hasty and his previous wife. Perhaps the report below suggests that R P Potts is Florence's husband's father, and that her mother was previously married to James Potts' father. Several genealogies report the marriage to R P Potts as follows. I have found no reference to this marriage in records. No genealogy I have seen has any documentation. Marriage to R P Potts 29 Mar 1918 - Age: 35 Caddo, Caddo, Oklahoma A couple of genealogies have a photo attached of one John Potts and "Grandma Hasty," with a very young Christine Barnett. This sounds like the right Alice Barnett Hasty. But the man's (presumably husband's) name here is John, not R P. ---------------------------------- Alice Miney Wilson Hancock Birth Jun. 2, 1882 Texas Death Sep. 9, 1978 Claremore, Rogers County, Oklahoma Alice Miney Wilson was married (at least) five times.

Amanda has married Olaf Jensen, also of Danish extraction, born in Kansas. On Olaf Jensen's name the A is open and was mistaken for a U by the Ancestry transcriber. Most of the As on this page are open like that, including the A in Denmark, which looks like Dunmark in many instances. Amanda also looks like Amunda. (It is possible that the enumerator actually meant to spell the name Oluf, based on the sound if he was an Anglo, and unfamiliar with this common Scandinavian name. But on the other evidence of the page, I have kept the normal spelling of Olaf.) 1925 Iowa State Census, Pottawatamie County, Council Bluffs Ward 5, page 403, 927 6th Avenue Jensen, Olaf Head M W 39 Rents $25/mo 39 yrs in US, 20 yrs in Iowa 4th reader rural grade edu b Kansas; Father Jensen Soren b Denmark age 71 mother Christensen Christiana b enmark age 69 married Denmark Jensen, Amanda Wife F W 30 30 yrs in US, 30 yrs in Iowa 8th grade edu b Iowa; Father Wilson Soren b Denmark age 59 mother Sorenson Christiana b Denmark age 56 married Iowa Jensen, Fern F W 9 9 yrs in US, 9 yrs in Iowa 4th grade edu b Iowa; Father Jensen Olaf b Kansas age 39 mother Jensen Amanda b Iowa age 30 married Iowa Jensen, Russell M W 6 6 yrs in US, 6 yrs in Iowa 1st grade edu Amanda's parents and three siblings are living next door to the Jensens. 1925 Iowa State Census, Pottawatamie County, Council Bluffs Ward 5, page 403, 919 6th Avenue Wilson, Soren Head M W 59 Owns Free $6000 value 43 yrs in US, 43 yrs in Iowa naturalized 8th grade edu b Denmark; Father Wilson Peter b Denmark [no age, deceased], mother Myrtue Mette K b Denmark [no age, deceased] married Denmark Wilson, Christiana Wife F W 55 35 yrs in US, 35 yrs in Iowa naturalized 8th grade b Denmark; Father Christanson [sic] Soren b Denmark [no age, deceased], mother Petersen Anna b Denmark [no age, deceased], married Denmark Wilson, Hazel F W 27 27 yrs in US, 27 yrs in Iowa 12th grade b Iowa b Iowa; Father Wilson Soren b Denmark age 59 mother Sorenson Christiana b Denmark age 55 married Iowa Wilson, Jacob P M W 21 21 yrs in US, 21 yrs in Iowa 3yrs college b Iowa b Iowa; Father Wilson Soren b Denmark age 59 mother Sorenson Christiana b Denmark age 55 married Iowa Wilson, Emmett S M W 12 12 yrs in US, 12 yrs in Iowa 7th grade b Iowa b Iowa; Father Wilson Soren b Denmark age 59 mother Sorenson Christiana b Denmark age 55 married Iowa -------------- Amanda K Wilson Jensen BIRTH 2 Feb 1895 DEATH 14 Apr 1968 (aged 73) Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, USA BURIAL Memorial Park Cemetery, Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa Parents: Soren Peter Wilson 1865-1944 Christine M Sorenson Wilson 1869-1937 Spouse O F Jensen 1885-1983 Siblings: Viola O Wilson Jensen 1896-1961 Emmett S Wilson 1912-1991 Children: Ferne Virginia Jensen 1915-2012 Russell Soren Jensen 1919-2014 Jeanette Louise Jensen Ryan 1926-2018 Created by Julie Ryan 22 Apr 2012 -- Find A Grave Memorial 88971914, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/88971914 --------------
