Notes

This infant (T. B. George) was buried in the area where Amanda and Hosea were living at the time of Amanda's death. If the stories about Amanda's dying in childbirth have some truth, perhaps her grave might be found in this area also. [5]

Enter a personal reminiscence or story.
In pursuing information about my ancestors I found that Lucy's story and that of her mother, Amanda Goodwin, frustratingly sad. Their situations may not have been that unusual during that time period, but because it's theirs it seems personal.

I have not been able to find the exact date of Amanda's death or where she is buried. There is some indication that she died in childbirth with her fourth child when she was in her early twenties. Lucy was the third child, and she "thought" that she had been born in Gainsville, TX. She evidently knew little about her mother or her mother's Goodwin family as there is an abundance of misinformation on various websites. Their husband and father, Hosea George married some months later and had a second family in OK. Indications are that they were a thriving, successful group. The first three George children seem to have left that home quite young, but they had alliances with other members of the George family in TX.
