Sonora Whitamore
Marriage 11 Dec 1856 Murray, Georgia
Spouse John B Keith
License issued 8 Dec 1856

Serina/Sanora's husband John B Keith died about 1867-8. She is a widow head of household in the 1870 census.

1870 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 23 July, Militia District 1013, PO Spring Place, page 8, Hse/Fam #55
Keith, Snara (? Serina) 34 F W Keeping House $1000 Real Estate $100 Personal born Georgia [b abt 1836]
Keith, Robert W 9 M W At Home born Georgia [b abt 1861]
Keith, John H 8 M W At Home born Georgia [b abt 1862]
Keith, James B 6 M W At Home born Georgia [b abt 1864]
Whittemore, Melvin 25 F W Farm Laborer born Georgia [b abt 1845]

Melvin Whittemore (Whttamore/Whitamore) is Serina/Sanora's brother. The name Serina is found in some genealogies fo this family. The spelling of her name in the census as Snara made me wonder if her name was Sinara/Senara instead of Serina. Her grave has Sanora. The handwritten name on her marriage record could be Sonora or Sanora.
