General Notes for Child Josephine Felicia Liepman
Place of death is listed as Warren, Marion County, Missouri. The papers of Alice Gary Early show Shelbina, MO. Source: Application papers for The National Society of Colonial Dames of America in The State of South Carolina for Mrs. Philip DuTart Pinckney, full maiden name: Nancy Patricia Gary. ************************************************************************** *************************************** Ezekial Liepman - his only known wife,Sarah Thomas Benoist. Sarah, shown as widow of Ezekial Liepman, married Thomas Gelzer in 1824. Josephine Felicia Liepman - only known child of Ezekial - married James J. Clark (1844) James J. Clark was born in 1824, would not think he was much older o younger than his wife, Josephine. She must have been born by 1824. Thus my conclusion about Sarah being Josephine's mother. She must have been left a widow shortly before or shortly after Josephine's birth. Josephine and James had one child, Mary Anna Clark, born 1845 on Edisto. Josephine died in Shelbina MO in 1850. James must have then come "home" either alive or dead also in 1850 (after Josephine's death) as he is buried on Edisto. Not sure where Josephine is buried, but it appears in Shelbina, MO. Mary Anna would have been left as a five year old orphan. Mary Anna died also in Shelbina MO in 1881 at the age of 36. Her husband , the Union Army Capt.,Andrew Nunn Gary, born in Warren City, NJ., was buried at New Brookland, SC in 1901, so apparently he moved back? to SC or they lived in SC all along, though Mary Anna is buried in Shelbina (??? - maybe next to her mother?). Maybe both Josephine(documented) AND James died in Shelbina, James was shipped back to Edisto to be buried (documented), left this little girl, Mary Anna, who was raised in Shelbina by relatives or friends, Mary Anna then met and married Andrew Gary in Missouri and married him in 1865(documented) at the close of the Civil War. Then perhaps Mary Anna's roots were calling and they moved back to Edisto because in 1872, Harry Miller Gary, our great grandfather was born on Edisto of these 2 parents. I can only begin to imagine what Mary Anna's Clark relatives thought of this union. All the whites evacuated from Edisto during the entire Civil War. All of the abandoned plantations were either taken over as Yankee headquarters or the family slaves took over the houses. It couldn't have been a happy return for most of them after the war. Of course, another possibility is that Andrew was stationed on Edisto and that Mary Anna had been raised on Edisto by relatives and she met him upon her return to the Island after the War, when Federal troops were still "occupying" the Island.
