AIG and Valic - Valic was retirement account for CS at one time
AIG was the company that was "too big to fail" (and it failed). You had to help L- request her annuities. Not a big problem, but they seemed wilfully stupid and unforthcoming about info needed to process the request. Took two or three months for this simple request!
VALIC was owned by them. It was the retirement account for CS at one time. Worse than wilfully stupid about processing a simple request for a complete distribution. Lord! Back and forth on the phone with them for months--with their staff giving conflicting info and then the next one denying they ever would have said such a thing. Made you want to start drinking! Thankfully, CS switched to a different fund, and it then took about one week to get the distribution. Ha!

Sarah Mullinax clues - link to Mary Emily Mullinax
Mary Emily Mullinax married William P. Dunn. Originally someone had different parents for him, but I think he is William P. Dunn, brother of Rhoda (Dunn) Headrick, who is John Scott Headrick's wife. My reason for thinking this about William P. Dunn and Mary Emily Mullinax, is that, right after the marriage, a couple of newlyweds named William and Mary E Dunn are living right beside .
She is one of those Mullinax children whose household was split up, with the children scattered among nearby Caylors and Dovers in 1870. The parents had disappeared or died: Malinda, the biological mother, between 1851 and 1856; Benjamin, the father, in 1869. Mary, the stepmother, lived until 1927, and remarried Charles M. Dover in 1869--so some of the children are found in the Dover household.
Mary Emily Mullinax PID -- think of her as "probably a.k.a. Sarah":

Stapp lineage to work on - do a biog and make a blog post
Georgia, Marriage Records From Select Counties, 1828-1978 for Emmett Staff: Catoosa County, Georgia, Record of Marriages, Book B, page 242: Emmitt Stapp (Staff) married Julia Garret on 18 Aug 1901. (JR Mury? NT & JP). Recorded four days later by J C Hix, Ordinary.
Jessie James Stapp, aged 37, residing at 101 Crawford Ave., Rossville, Walker, Ga. Birth: 30 Sep 1904, Ringgold, Ga. [Ringgold, Catoosa, Georgia]. Contact person is Mrs. Jessie James Stapp. Employer: Self (at 101 Crawford Ave., Rossville, Walker, Ga.) Signed: Jessie James Stapp.
(1) L1JG-57V Robert Emmett Stapp, born 29 August 1879, in Georgia; (right guy for sure); was a mechanic; married Julia Garrett. Disappeared from census, apparently, unless duplicate of...
(2) L12P-Q21 Robert Emmett Stapp, born 29 August 1884, Atlanta (or) Gwinnett Co., Georgia; was a mechanic; married/partnered w/Ruby Aycock/Eckardt; moved a lot.
(3) LV62-R8Y Emmett Stapp, son of Jesse William Stapp and Martha Lou Sinda.
I think the above three will eventually be merged.

Lemuel Smith / Mary Dickson - similar couples, but very far apart, generationally
While attaching an attributed son, I found some people in Texas born decades later, but having such similar names in both sides of their family, that I thought they might bear researching to see if distantly related. I was attaching this son: John Smith (born 1818, Georgia; attributed to parent, Lemuel Smith, by an Ancestry user; no sources). When skimming people suggested as matching, this person came up. The birth is so far removed, there's no possibility of a match; however the naming patterns in that family look very similar to the naming patterns in this family:
James Lemuel Smith (PID K84W-P7J ; born 1861) married Mary Esther Dickson (born 1861); married on 31 Oct 1883, Cuthand, Rr, Tx.
Then look at Charlene's line:
Lemuel Smith, born 1788 (PID LDJH-1F7) married Mary Dickson (born 1795); married on 8 Nov 1810, Hancock Co., Georgia.
The births of these people are decades apart, but the southern families are always so clannish, I thought the names looked promising. Could just be a coincidence, but it won't hurt to play with that Texas line and see if it leads back to the Georgia one.
Work on J. F. Gilbert of Murray County
Search results page: create PID and attach sources! Note: I believe J. F. Gilbert may be the one who bought land from John E. Headrick and quickly resold it to A. S. Dunn -- possibly an executorship thing, or some other go-between; or perhaps a quit-claim; or could have turned a quick profit or something.

It appears that an Edith Jones + (1) "Edwin" Green, and had Joseph Prince Green, born 1890.
ON ANCESTRY, A USER HAS EQUATED EDWIN WITH EDMOND!
: Edmond Syniard/Green + Edith Jane Jones.
Later, Edith married Nathan Bryant, and Joseph P Green is a stepson of the household.
Joseph P Green later married Murlie Foster (1912, Bradley). Two years later, they had a stillborn child (buried at Cookston Creek, Polk, Tenn.). The informant was a W.H. Shields, of Parksville.
This line just keeps getting more and more confusing.

Work on Stepp - Check census attachments
Work on this lineage!
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LWVL-XGK
You had detached two of his sons, one of whom had moved out to Calif. and died. There seemed to be a conflict, with the mothers not matching, and an overlap of dates making it seem as if he could not have married both women. However... the one out in California definitely had Tenn. roots, had a father of same name (actually living w/him in Calif.), and had other things that seemed promising. On the other hand, I think I saw another person of similar name out in California, and/or one that had a marriage in Illinois that overlapped in the same, impossible way. Anyway, do some work on this line!

Same name, gender, and birth, and I have now attached to same set of parents. I had created PID L24S-SDR as a stepson of John and Mary E. (Bryant, Wigley) Blanset. He appears in census with them in 1920. It took me a long time to understand who he was, but looking at the parents of William Wade Bryant, born 1903; his parents both died in 1919, when he was only 16 years old. It makes sense that he would be taken in by a relative. Mary E. Bryant (married 1, James Wigley; married 2, John Howel Blanset) took Wade in, and would very likely be a relative--probably his great aunt. She is the daughter of Elisha Bryant, whose parents have never been fully identified. However, his residence and extended family make him very likely to be the son of John and Ellender Allen Bryant. If so, Mary (Bryant) Blanset is the great-aunt of William Wade Bryant.
Info on Benjamin Franklin Murray, born 10 Sep 1888, Siloam Springs, Benton, Ark.; lived with father in Craig, Oklahoma, in 1910. In 1911, there is a marriage in that county, of Beny Murray, born 1888, and Josie Smith, born 1892. Reported self as "single" in 1920 (but was probably divorced, in light of info found in a later later military record): Benjamin F. Murray, male, born 10 Sept. 1888, Ark., son of T. G.

This is the Peter Headrick who "might" (probably is) the one who was in Murray County, very early on (probably sold land there). He died in the Battle of Resaca. He has Lumpkin County ties. If people have it right, his oldest sister, Mary, died in Chatsworth, Georgia. His brother, Caspar, was born in South Georgia and died in Missouri, as did brother, John Alexander. One sister moved to Missouri, too. For some reason, he is not currently linked to a father, but one of his brothers has been attached to father, John Alexander Headrick. (Could be someone has detached by accident).

This Peter Headrick is the one who married Mary Mosely/Moses in Blount Co., Tennessee. He was a private in Co. I, 5th Tenn. Infantry Vols., and was killed at Resaca.

His brother, James, was married to Mary Jane Rhea and he died in Buckner Co., Missouri (if their research is correct). Link is below:

(The lineage relates to the William M. Headrick and Susannah Borden line).
_____________________________________
This line was in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, and was being researched by a Lewis Headrick, of Colorado (from the old WMHS family files). This one has Juretta Agnes Dulaney in it; some of them married into the Myers family and the Shields family. Here's a link to William L Headrick:

[Summary With Quotes]: According to his spouse, Russell "came home Sunday night, undressed and then went over to the window to cool off." [He lit a cigar. His wife went to bed. Apparently, he fell]. There was speculation "he fell asleep and dropped the cigar on his breast. When it burned him, he flinched, causing him to lose his balance and fall."

0000-To rewrite!
Death cert. of Pollyann Hedrick (in very weird handwriting), indexed as "Pollyann Fredrick," died 25 April 1929 in Bradley County, Tennessee. Her parents were written as "Gore Caylor," born in Murray Co Ga, and "Matilda Dover" [], also born in Murray Co Ga. Unfortunately, the husband is not listed on that particular death cert. She is listed as aged 69, a married female. She's buried at Calvary.
I was proud of finally finding her.
George and Matilda Caylor's son, James Elijah "Eli" Caylor, ended up living with William and Rhoda (Dunn) Caylor
Mary Caylor (Charlie Dover's wife, married 1869 in Murray), was first married to Benjamin Mullinax. They end up with these in their household: Eli T Mullinax and Surrepta Caroline Mullinax; and Rhoda Jane Caylor

Search Engine: Better Than Google and DuckDuckGo
https://searx.me/
Works better than Google and DuckDuckGo, for me. Gives me the results I'm looking for instead of a bunch of crap. Google returns nothing but ads these days, and leaves out so much. (In searching obituaries, I never seem to get anything except Legacy and Tributes, both of which are incomplete).

Actually, I thought I had already moved this, so I'm not sure why I had to do it again today! Blogger on Android is a bit tricky...
