Notes: from Edwin Ford: John Tarplay came to Thomasville/Choctaw Corner to teach school but ended up keeping books for people. Had problems with alcohol. May have presented himself as being older than he actually was--cemetery marker says 1854, as written by his widow, but census suggests his actual birth may have been 1856.

Notes: from Edwin Ford: Stella Curtis had 10 pregnancies, five of whom lived to adulthood. Some of her descendants are RH negative; maybe Stella was as well, and that caused the high infant mortality rate.

They had six children altogether: the two who presumably stayed in Louisiana, one who was killed in the Civil War; Harrison who was injured but survived, Cassandra who was the second-youngest, and John who was the youngest.

15. | Lucy M. Giles Notes: Edwin Ford: Lucy Giles came to Shiloh, AL (Marengo Co) to teach school, supposedly. Lived with a family named Hosea. She was from Laurel, DE, probably born there. Had a brother than never married, who ran a box factory. When he died there was no will, so his estate was divided and Stella Melissa Curtis inherited $2000-3000, 1/76th of the total, a lot of money for the day. Have her copy of the letter announcing the distribution. Came just before the war. Think we have a copy of the marriage license from Marengo County. Notes: Edwin Ford: He was 35 and she was 18 when they were married.
