MARY ANN COLE PENDER
I was wondering if anyone had any information on Mary Ann Cole Pender.She is my great grandmother.she had a son with a married man named Amberson Michael Bradshaw before she was married to her Pender husband. That son was adopted by Dolly and Hardy Paul, and named Neyland Wayne Paul.The adoption was sealed so I cannot dig up the records.But I know, through family and word of mouth that my grandfather's parents were Amberson Michael Bradshaw and Mary Ann Cole.My mother tried to contact some of Mary Ann Cole's family a few years back but they accused her of seeking inheritance money upon her death, which I'm sorry to say..Mary Ann evidently never told any of her family that she had had a son before she was married.So naturally, the family would not listen to my mother.Anyway...so that's the story, and if anyone is willing to believe it and help me out, I would greatly appreciate it because the Pender's have a whole other family in Texas that they don't know about and I would like to know where I come from.
