Life

Miriam Snelson, who also appears in the records as Mary, was born in Georgia on 17 April 1827, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date and names no parents for her.1 The federal census of 1850 lists "Miram Snelson" in the household of John Snelson in Meriwether County, Georgia, the same household in which Sarah F. Snelson, later the wife of James A. Webb, was listed.2 Inference John Snelson was probably her father and Sarah her sister, but the census of 1850 does not state relationships, and the entry has not been examined.2 On 23 December 1851, in Meriwether County, she married Joel Webb, the eldest son of Charles Hackett Webb and Malinda Bailey; the tree names two children, John Charles Webb (1852–1932) and Martha Ann Webb (1854–1909), and gives Joel's death as 11 November 1854.3 On 18 March 1863, in Meriwether County, as "Marian Webb," she married William A. Radney, whom the index calls "Rodney," and the census of 1870 lists Mirium Radney in William Radney's household at Troup Factory, Troup County, Georgia.4 The tree records a third marriage, in 1883, to Cornelius Abner Norris, without a source.5 She died on 14 January 1891 and was buried in Glenwood Cemetery, Thomaston, Upson County, Georgia, where her Find a Grave memorial names her Mary Miriam Snelson Radney Norris, bringing together the three married names.6 Her son John C. Webb's Georgia death record of 1932 gives his mother's name, as the index reads it, as "Mary Nelson."7
