I’m looking for info on Amanda Anderson Alford Groce and would appreciate any info/clues you can share.

Census records indicate she was born in AL abt 1831.

She m. John C. Alford in Fayette Co TX, 7-20-1850; he was killed in July 1860.
Their children: Emma b. abt 1853, James b. abt 1854, Genoa b. abt 1856.

She m. James L. Groce in Fayette Co TX 12-23-1868.
She may or may not be the mother of James’ daughter, Oceanica Annie Mae Groce, who was born in Fayette Co TX, 7-27-1863.
A guardianship for Oceanica in Fayette Co TX says that Amanda & James are the parents who fought for her custody.
Deed records in Burnet Co TX have an affidavit stating that Amanda & James were divorced [and the parents of Oce], another deed record in Burnet has Amanda living in Marcelena, Wilson Co TX in 1893.

I have not found a divorce record for Amanda & James.
I do not know where or when she died and is buried,
I do not know where she was born except AL abt 1831.
I do not know why they waited until Oce was abt 5 yrs old to marry, which is why I do not know if Amanda was Oce’s bio-mother.

If you have any clues…please respond!
