    • Death Record
      Name: Mary/Sams
      Sex: Female
      Death Date: 9/26/1856
      Death Place: Wood Co, WV
      Age at Death: 43
      Birth Date: Fauquier Co, VA
      Marital Status: M
      Spouse: William Sams
      Mother: Catharine Posey
      Father: John Barnes
      Informant: husband

      The marriage record shows Mary was a Johnson, but this death record doesn't agree. Her son, Samuel's death record states his mother was a Posey, but since she died before he was 20, he may have not really known, and if her mother was a Posey, could have confused the names. Was she married to a Johnson? If her age on the death record is correct, she married William Sams when she was 20, and she could have been married before that.
