Laura POE, b abt 1875, dau of Martha J McDADE & Harvey POE, MO > AR 1880 Census
Looking for any descendants of Laura POE, b abt 1875 MO according to the 1880 AR Census where Laura is age 5 and is enumerated with her grandparents, John McDADE and Josephine (WOMBLE) McDADE in Corning, Clay Co, AR.
Laura's mother appears to be Martha J McDADE b abt 1850 TN who is also listed. I found a marriage record for 10 April 1874 Stoddard Co, MO for Harvey POE and Martha J McDADE who appear to be Laura's parents. Martha's marital status on the 1880 Census is listed as divorced.
Several McDADE cousins and I are tracking the descendants of William McDADE b 1805 NC and his 5 siblings, 4 of whom m WOMBLE's (some later spelling it WAMBLE) and 1 who m William MORRIS, brother of William McDADE's 2nd wife, Susan MORRIS. William McDADE's 1st wife was Mary Thomas BARROW.
These families were in Fayette Co, TN in 1840;
in Carroll Co, TN in 1850;
in Weakley Co, TN in 1860 (though some stayed in Carroll Co, TN while some moved on to MO);
one McDADE branch was last found in Madison Co, TN (Jackson area) in 1880 where they were enumerated with the eldest sibling;
some descendants are known to have been in AR before going on to TX.
PLEASE, if you know anything about these McDADE - MORRIS -WOMBLE / WAMBLE families, or have any clues, additions and/or corrections,contact me.
Most grateful for any help.
