Research Notes

Gillie Clementine Donaldson McGuyer (1884-1974) was daughter of Amanda Kimery Donaldson, and granddaughter of Hannah Mansell Kimery. This information was recorded in a family Bible belonging to Gillie (seen by Janet Fowler in 1970), which was lost after Gillie's death. In a 1970 conversation with Janet Fowler, Gillie Donaldson remembered her mother, but was only 2 yrs old when Hannah Mansell and Solomon Kimery were living. I [Janet Fowler] remember seeing the name, or one similar, Elender in this Bible. It has been over 50 yrs since I have seen the Bible, so memory may not be serving me well. I do not remember seeing the name Morning Dove White. There was never a mention of Cherokee heritage. Not having the Bible makes this account folklore as I [Janet Fowler?] can only tell what I remember without documentation."^[6]

Solomon died 10 Sep 1886 in Benton, Miss. and is buried in Canaan Cemetery. I [who?] do not find Hannah buried in that cemetery. I [who?] do not find any documents for the death of Hannah. So her death and burial are unknown. Solomon does list her in his will.

They apparently left North Carolina, went down to Tennessee, then down to Georgia, then to Alabama and finally rested in Mississippi.

The above is from Census forms and a will.

If there is more documentation, please list it with a link to it or a picture. Nothing else is really acceptable.
