Mamie Briggs

Jacob Mamie or Mamie Jacob Briggs was born September 15th of either 1871, '73, '75, or '76 (can't seem to make up his mind) in Sunflower Co., Mississippi .  Mamie was the son of Jacob Pinkney Briggs and Leannah Dyer, making him a half-brother of my great-grandmother, Myrtle Carroll.

He was married 20 Jul 1899 in Howe, Le Flore, OK to Mollie N. Merchant. And they had 3 children: Marvin, Tommie (girl), and Willie (girl).  Willie died when she was only ten years old. But the other two children grew to adulthood, got married and had children of their own.

He died sometime in 1946 in McAlester, Oklahoma and was buried in Red Oak Cemetery there.
