Hello, Dollys

In earlier posts I stated the theory that that Peter Hendrix/Hendricks and Elizabeth Gibson were the parents of Nancy Ann Hendricks, wife of James A. Eddins/Edins.

Now there's more circumstantial evidence.

Peter & Elizabeth had a daughter Dolly born 1810 in South Carolina. She married Lawrence Rickard.

James A. and Nancy Ann had a daughter Elizabeth born 1829 or so in AL. She married Jethro Harrell in 1849 in Tallapoosa County, AL.

In 1860 Jethro and Elizabeth are in Selma, Dallas County, AL, with son Thomas.

In the 1870 US Census for AL, Jethro and Dolly Harrell are in Selma, Dallas County with son Thomas. 

Dolly and Dolly.


Just another coincidence? I think not.
