Or, Subtitled: “We all loved and respected Mollie Green Lindsey, our grandmother”

This posting is a continuation of a previous one in which I began documenting the life of my great-grandmother Mary Ann Green, daughter of Ezekiel Samuel Green and Camilla Birdwell, who married Alexander Cobb Lindsey on 2 November 1876 in Red River Parish, Louisiana. As the linked posting indicates, though Mary Ann’s death certificate, with Alec reporting this information, states that she was born 11 October 1862 in Pointe Coupee Parish, there are strong reasons to think that the year of birth reported on this document and inscribed on her tombstone is incorrect and that she was born 11 October 1861.

Or, Subtitled: A Family History Full of Twists, Turns, and Confusion

When I began Begats and Bequeathals back in January 2018, I stated that my goal here would be to share some 40+ years of research on my family lines, in the hope of providing accurate documentation to anyone who might be researching these families and looking for good documentation and not the junk genealogy too often found in various places. My initial posting also says that I wouldn’t be following any logical plan in choosing a particular family line to work on at any given time, but would be skipping from line to line.
