Ann was listed on the 1850 Jasper Co,GA census as being 70 yr old.In the house
with her was Rachel 48 yr old and Cerley(?) 34 yr old and idiotic.Pg 129 708/708.
Ann was not listed as a daughter in her dads will. I think that she probably
left home and married Meshack while under age and without her fathers permission.Meshack
was paid her share of the estate anyway according to the settlement of the estate.
