Lucy Anna (Satterwhite) Echols

Note that the 1860 Federal Census, Alabama appears to suggest she was born in 1831 (rather than 1821) but this could be an error and would make the timeline infeasible.

Claims related to her family, marriage, and relatives can be found in the Satterwhite Family Book.

Likely the "Lucy A Echols" found in the Alabama Census 1866 which corroborates the claim that her husband "Died of sickness" as a solider.
