She was married in about 1850 probably in Hancock
County to William Munsey, born 3 April 1832 probably
in Lee County, Virginia, who died sometime after 1880.
They had at least 9 children and settled in the Lone
Mountain/Bear Creek area. William was the son of James
and Nancy (Owens) Muncy and probably changed the spelling
of his name to Munsey. He was also brother to John who
married Sabra
Walker. The couple's burial locations are not known
but could be in Campbell or Gose Cemetery on Bear Creek.
Almost nothing is known of this couple. They have not
been found beyond the 1880 Census nor have several of
their married children. Bill does appear to have been
conscripted into a Confederate unit in East Tennessee,
although whether he willing joined or not is unknown.
He was wounded 3 June 1864 at Cold Harbor, Virginia,
and he deserted 3 January 1865 from a picket line but
was captured and sent to City Point, Virginia. He took
the loyalty oath. Others in the unit included an as-yet
unidentified John Walker, conscripted in East Tennessee
18 April 1864 who deserted at Petersburg, Virginia,
5 April 1865, and Robert G. Yoakum, conscripted in Tennessee
the same day who deserted at Hanover Court House, Virginia,
25 May 1864.
