Ama Parmelia (Ware) DePriest (1855 - 1942) Mississippi Confederate Civil War Family

Question

Ama “Amaw” Parmelia (Ware) DePriest was born in Mississippi 1855 to Confederate Civil War Veteran James M. Ware and Susan Ann Fletcher. She married John W. DePriest. She died January 23, 1942 in Mississippi. There is a story here I’m trying to find more about as her father and brother Dorman Hes Ware both served in the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. 

1. Need marriage record

2. Need more sources and records. Especially census records etc

3. Need death record

Any help with this Mississippi Confederate Civil War family and what they endured to help put the pieces of the puzzle together would be greatly appreciated. Thank you wikitree family.

Have you looked for Confederate pension records for either Ama or her husband?  I think this is Ama’s: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9TWM-Q6Q?i=229&wc=M61N-523%3A235710901&cc=1936413

Yes I believe this is her husband matches perfectly. So this shows the husband also serving in the civil war. I haven’t done much research for the pension records for her or the husband. Excellent find. Thank you!!!

I added her husband to her profile
