I'm assuming that she was around the civil war time. 1860's possible.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Here. She would have been 20 in 1860, either married or getting ready. The spelling varies, as it did back then. I have some links for African-American genealogy, if you'd like - write to me via my profile.
