Biography
Amanda Poovey was born March 8, 1820 in Lincoln or Catawba County, North Carolina to Harriet Mauney and John William Poovey. [1]
Mandy married Ambrose Miller September 28, 1839 in Lincoln, North Carolina. [2] and [3]
I haven't been able to find a death certificate nor images / memorials on sites like Findagrave or BillionGraves. However, her husband Ambrose Miller's died between 1858 when his will was written and 1860 when it was approved and he doesn't mention her in the will but does mention each child and with whom they are living/will be living; thus implying she died before the will was written in 1858.
He was buried at St Stephens Lutheran ELCA Cemetery in Hickory, North Carolina so perhaps an evaluation of newly recovered gravemarkers / cemetery cards would find her name? [4]
