Charlotte Headley

(17 Aug 1850 - 11 Oct 1937)



I knew Charlotte was not living with her mother in 1860. I believe she was living with her grandfather (handwriting is terrible in this census, as is the spelling).
1860 Census. Chestnut Creek, Autuaga, AL, Hh 255
Sephun Baker, age 70, b. SC. Frances 25.
Charlotte Healey, 10. [I believe this is Charlotte Headley, granddaughter)
Lurana Scott 23
Martha ???ury, age 2

Married about 1868 to George W. Mims, born 1846.

Probable 1870 Census. Prec 4, Baker, AL, Hh 263
Geo. W. Mimms, Jr., age 21, farmer, b. AL - at the bottom of a page
then the top of the next page is number 263 again and it's the Welden family - I believe the enumerator lost his place and didn't copy the rest of George's family. There isn't another male of this name and he lives close to several Headley families.
