I am looking for info on my gg-gmother. She was from MS & eloped with the overseer on her father's plantation. Her family disowned her & they moved to Bayou Teche, LA, where they lived with his family. When my g-gmother was about 2 & had an infant sister, her mother rode horseback back to MS to see her sick brother. She was in a rainstorm, caught pneumonia & died. She was married to John Elliot Beck & my g-gmother was named Mary Jane Beck. The younger sister died shortly after their mother. I'm not sure if her name was Varnadoe or Varnadore & don't know where she lived in MS. Does this story sound familiar to anyone?
