Elizabeth PLESS b. ca 1822 GA m. William[son] FINLEY
I came across Augusta Ann (FINLEY) LEAVELL while searching through some Alabama death records.The information on her death record gave her mother as "PLESS", b. GA.
A quick check of the 1850 census gave the following information:
1850 census 17-Dist., Cherokee Co., AL Roll#3, HH#1197, Fam#1197, p.139B (25 Jan):
Williamson FINLEY 26 M Agr. b. GA [also seen as "Wm" in 1860]
Eliza FINLEY 28 F b. GA
Martha FINLEY4 F b. GA
Augusta FINLEY2 F b. AL
This Elizabeth PLESS (b. ca 1822, GA) apparently m. William(son) FINLEY in Georgia somewhere.There are some FINLEY's and PLESS' mentioned in Meriwether and Talbot Counties in GA, but I found no mention of a marriage for the above-listed.My best guess is that Elizabeth is a daughter of Augustus PLESS, probably from a first marriage, but that is only a conjecture.
Any thoughts?This is not my PLESS line, but I found it interesting nonetheless.
