Margaret Briley Sheppard
My 3gr grandmother was Margaret Briley married to James Henry Sheppard.I was told she is the daughter of Joshua Briley and Nancy Howell but haven't been able to find proof.
In the 1850 Perry Co., TN census she is widowed and living with her children next door to Joshua and Nancy Briley.Her children are listed as: Joshua, Benjamin, John T., Sarah and Nancy E.
Does anyone have proof of Joshua and Nancy having a daughter named Margaret born 1815-1819?
