Mary Ann "Polly" McBay

Family/Spouse: Augustus L. Husbands. Augustus was born about 1823 in Lincoln County, Tennessee; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
David,your great, great, great grandfather was Augustus Lewallen(various spellings)Husbands. He was a soldier in the Confederate Army when he was killed. I don't think that anyone but God knows where he is buried. So many bodies were just left on the battlefield at that time. His wife was Mary Ann "Polly" McBay, and she is apparently buried in an unmarked grave. The courthouse of the county where they lived was burned leaving very few records. Their children were taken in by Lewis and Susan (McBay} Gaddy and one of their sons. Susan was a sister of their mother.

My grandfather was Davis(not David) Beauregard Husbands.

And, another thing, your grandfather was Charles Francis Husband. He told me that himself. He considered Francis to be a "girl's name" and never used it. The kids used to tease him about it so he didn't like the name. You can contact me anytime. I will be glad to help all I can.
