I am trying to solve a family mystery. One of our ancestors Lucy Mahaly
Singletary married an
Amos Ward in
Columbus County in 1868. They had a son James
Bryant Ward (who was my great-great-great grandfather. Soon after, Lucy left
Amos and changed James' name to
Singletary (her maiden name) but no one seems to know why. The rest of us have been Singeltarys ever since but in actuality we are Wards I suppose. Anyway, I have found the grave of James, but can not find any death records or cemetery info on either
Amos or Lucy. I do know that she later married Calvin
Hathaway in 1877 and had another child, Daniel
Monroe Hathaway. I also know that she was living with Daniel and his family in
Horry County in 1910 (when she died). She was listed as married on the census record but Calving was not living there. They both died in 1910. Perhaps he was in a nursing home or something. Any information anyone has about either
Amos Ward, Lucy
Singletary Hathaway, or Calvin or Daniel
Hathaway would be greatly appreciated.
