I'm trying to determine my great grandmothers surname. Her first name is Clarissa A or Clarisa A and was born 1850 in Brasstown, Union GA.
She married my great granddad James A Scruggs / Alfred Scruggs in 1874/1875 in Brasstown, Union GA.
I've located a Clarissa A Wilson in a Coosawattee, Gilmer Co. GA.1860 index age 6 which would be the right age as she was older than Alfred.
If this is the correct Clarissa A., her father is listed as Moses P. Wilson age 36, which would make his birth year 1824 mother is listed as Mary (no last name) age 30, birth year 1830. I'll need to research her also....
Brothers: Joseph R Wilson, age 8 and Moses W Wilson, age 1.
There are a number of Wilsons listed in this 1860 index, however, I have not located a full census record for any of them.
Any information is greatly appreciated. Still searching in GA.
