I am interested in the circumstance surrounding the birth and death of Mary Elizabeth (Parnell) Gathright and Mary A. (Smith) Gathright. According to the popularly available data both of these Mary Gathrights were born in Georgia in 1799. They also died on the same day, July 10, 1858. Were they involved in an accident? Does anyone know why James “Miles” Madison Gathright married a woman the same age as his mother? Is there any source information for this data? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
