I have a brickwall in my family and she is my Great-Great-Grandmother.

Elizabeth Ellen "Elsie" Gibbons

This is what I know:

She was born about 1859 in SC. I have found her on the 1860 census. I know that she got married to James "Jim" William Yarborough before 1876, being their first child was born in 1876 based on the 1880 census. I know they go on to have 2 maybe 3 more children. Lizze (I'm not sure where she fits in, thus not positve she's one of their children), John Preston (first born son, 1876), Mettie (abt. 1881) and Annie (abt. 1883).

No federal census for 1890.

By 1900, Her husband James "Jim" is listed being married to a Mary E. And there is a child born in 1891 (I'm assuming is the first child between Jim and Mary....they have 10 children total).

So I know ALL that about Elsie except I do not know when she died. According to one source she is burried at a small family cemetery. Only trouble is that she is in an unmarked grave. And yes, I have been there...no stone for her. The graveyard is not attached to any church (it was on family land). It's in the freakin middle on nowhere, so I do not even know if they had a church. SC did not mandate DC until 1915.

See my problem? I can't prove her death. Which normally wouldn't mind...However, I'm trying to prove this line for my second line for the DAR.

Any ideas or infomation would be very helpful.

thanks!
