Notes
JCMR:
Jos Skeen to Polly Garrett, 3/15/1849
1860 Jackson Co VA census there is a
Martha E, 11/12, l/w Simeon & Nancy (Jones) Smith at # 1340-1270
Charles, 11, is l/w John & Margaret Hamon at 1273-1204
and Joe's brother Stephen is at 1311-1241 with his new wife
1860 Roane, VA pg 618
Joseph Hammon 36 Va
Leah 27
Mary Hammon 70
Wm H Carpenter 7
Joseph Skeen 5
Where are Joe and the other kids? Why is Charles l/w Hamons - is he son of their daughter? Was Mary Hamon married to a Garrett before she married Joe?
The 1850 JC census shows Elijah, age 3, l/w George & Jane Fields - his marriage record shows he is the son of Joseph and Polly. So this means he was born about 1847, before Joe married Polly Garrett, but that doesn't mean he isn't their son!
