My wife is descended from Finny M. Marcengil (various spellings). He was probably born in Pickens Co SC about 1844. In 1850 he is listed with Esther, 86 yrs (maiden name Blackman,widow of Ethelred or Dread), Mourning, 35 and Finny, age 5. Mourning is his mother (per later census records). 1860 lists only Finny and Mourning, still in Rabun Ga. In 1870 the two are living with the C.H. Shepherd family in Alarka, Macon (later Swain) Co. NC. 1880 lists Finny and his wife Dianna, John and Mourning (mother, widowed). After 1880 they are back in Rabun Co. GA. He was Civil War veteran and died in 1944, Rabun Co Ga.

My questions: what was MOURNING's last name, who was Finny's father, what was Finny's middle name (initial "M.") A grandson named Finous Malay Marcengil is buried in SC. Dread and Esther had lived near a Malloy family in Pickens Co SC. Is the "M" for Malloy?
Any help appreciated, rick frizzell
