Robert > Samuel & Mary (Cardwell) McAfee > William C. & Rebecca (Richards) McAfee > Clark Roberson & Alice (Freshour) McAfee > Laura & William Henry Sherbondy (my gr-grandparents) | Rebecca Richards McAfee, my 3rd-gr-grandmother, has been my greatest brick wall. She was born in Jun 1811 in KY (according to 1900 census). She and William were married 20 Jan 1831 in Clay Co., MO (I have marriage certificate). She died 11 Sep 1888 in Elkhorn Twp., San Joaquin Co., CA and is buried at Woodbridge Cemetery. I have all of her probate records (100+ pages) that provides detailed information on descendants - but no clues on any possible siblings or parents. According to census records, her father was born in VA and mother in TN, but so far I have been unable to find them in any records (including the 1830 Clay Co., MO census.) |
