- Research notes: 7/13/2014 pertaining to Mary, daughter of Pauline:
email to Donna Morgan
Hey, Donna. Seems like I got distracted off this for a while, but I pulled it all back up today and I?m pretty sure I've figured it out.
Marie Harmon IS Marie Chesson/Chaisson. And Pauline Means was married to Valmore Chaisson first, then Harmon m2 and Shelby m3. There never was a Mary Harmon. All the census records of her showing ?Mary R? were Mary Roseline Chaisson. When it showed m-i-l, Pauline Shelby ? that?s Pauline Mean.
The Pauline Hebert b 11 Dec 1834 dau of Antoine Raymond Hebert and Marie Chelestine Trahan who was shown to be wife of Valmore Chaisson should be is Pauline Means whose mother was a Hebert ? and thereby maybe cause of the confusion. So, unknown who Pauline Hebert married.
If we found somewhere Mary Rosaline Chaisson was listed as Mary Harmon, then she was apparently using step-dad?s name. This adjustment makes everything ? I think ? make sense.
_________________
research notes: 2011 pertaining to Marie Rosaline Chaisson:
There is a death certificate available for two of Gilford's sons, Thomas and Joe.
Thomas (1888-1967) d.c. informant was Annie Mae Williamson (wife? dau?) who gave his mother as Rosa Lee Chezjean.
Thomas named a child Lillie Roseline.
Joe (1891-1969) d.c. informant was his son Ray who stated his mother was Rose Cheshire.
At first glance, okay. Rose/Rosa was Gilford's 1st marriage and may well be, but we know he married Mary in 1885 and was still married to her in 1930. The four children we know of (Joe and Thomas as well as Margrell and Charles who we see in 1910) were all born within those dates.
-----------------
Research notes: 30 Jun 2010 for Mary Harmon as dau of Larry Harmon:
Very confusing on this family.
Mary is shown m to Gilford in 1900, 1910, and 1920 census. She states she had 15 children, married2. Married Gilford at age 24 in 1885. And she said she first married at age 15.
Indeed, there is a marriage record for she and Gilford for 1885 and she married with the last name of Helfin.
Both she and Gilford also indicated they are each their 2nd marriage.
There is a death certificate available for two of the sons, Thomas and Joe.
Thomas (1888-1967) d.c. informant was Annie Mae Williamson (wife? dau?) who gave his mother as Rosa Lee Chezjean.
Thomas named a child Lillie Roseline.
Joe (1891-1969) d.c. informant was his son Ray who stated his mother was Rose Cheshire.
At first glance, okay. Rosa was Gilford's 1st marriage and may well be, but we know he married Mary in 1885 and was still married to her in 1930. The four children we know of (Joe and Thomas as well as Margrell and Charles who we see in 1910) were all born within those dates.
Another oddity is where are all those 15 children?
in 1900, there are Margrell, 14; Thomas 12, Joseph 8, and Charles 5.(have found no other records on Margrell and Charles.) Many other children should have shown up here. Where are they? She states 10 are living.
In 1910, the only two living with them are Thomas 22 and Joe 19; states 7 living. (and Mary's mother Pauline Means Shelby)

Burial |
Williamson Cem, Madison Co, Texas (maybe) |
- "We haven't found her grave yet, we know that her last husband (Gilford G. Williamson) is buried here as well, also we think that the two Heflin's that are buried here are part of her second family as she was married to a Mr. Heflin, after her first husband Thomas Phillip Williams returned from the war and died of TB in his daughters arms."

Notes |
- daughter of Valmore Chezshon and Pauline Hebert Chezshon.
note from inscription on back of photograph found on Ancestry: "Pauline lived a very long life."
