Hi,

I am trying to figure out who the following Mississippi marriage record pertains to.

Name: Manz Gill
Spouse: William Allen
Marriage Date: 25 Jul 1824
County: Amite

I am thinking "Manz" is a possible mistranscription of Mary or Nancy.

Since the marriage was in Amite County, it seems likely she was the daughter of John Gill Jr b ~1795 who is shown there in the 1830 census. The 1820 census shows two Gill families in southern Mississippi. James Gill in Marion County, MS has two males 16-25; John Gill in Lawrence County, MS has one male 16-18.

If you have any information or even any thoughts on this, I would appreciate hearing from you.

I would also love to know which William Allen this is.

Best regards,
