Re: The gallant Major from Georgia

Hello Herb, And thanks, sometimes I'm my own worst critic but my research has not been too sharp today. Come to find out after I posted for a third time Marcus S. Nall and Elizabeth had a third child born about 1862 and her name sometimes appears as Marcus in some future census reports but likely it was in the feminine form such as Marcie or along those lines.

The 1870 United States census even had her listed as a male in Coweta County.

The 1880 census listed her as Morcus E. Nall but as a correct sex a female.

Georgia Marriages 1851-1900 listed her marriage to W. T. Luckie on November 24, 1881 in Coweta County.

The 1900 United States census listed her name as Marcus Luckie, born about September 1862 and a wife married to William T. Luckie and the household was living close to the Tennessee line in Dade County, Georgia at a community called Rising Fawn and the couple had four children by then.

The 1910 United States census listed his surname as Lucky and it was noted he was a widowed and living back in Coweta County, Georgia. William Thomas Luckie then moved to Florida and found in the 1930 census and died there in 1936 in Polk County. See Find A Grave Memorial# 68451563.

One of the couples younger male children was Roy Nall Luckie who died in November 1964 in Pinellas County, Florida according to the Florida Death Index 1877-1998. And so 100 years after Roy's grandfather had been killed at the Battle of Jonesboro in 1864 his grandson would die in 1964.
