She was previously md to Elias Barfield. According to Joe Branch, 2003, she was Lizzy Pursay Barfield. The family is in the 1870 Gatlins, Macon Co, GA census. In the 1880 Census he is age 43 and Elizabeth is age 41. He md. 3rd) Mrs. Julia Stuckey 16 Nov 1893 who was probably born Jan 1857. They are on the 1900 Census. He is age 60 and Julia is age 43 b Jan 1847 (note inconsistency in dates, see 1880 below) md 8yrs, 6 children, 4 living. Elizabeth & Julia have different birth dates and are in different census years. FamilySearch™ Ancestral File v4.19, has her as Julia Johnson, perhaps Julia's name was Johnson before she md Mr. Stuckey but she could not have been the mother of John "Jack's" children because they weren't md. until 1893. Julia is the mother of James Collier Wisham b. Mar 1894. Julia md 1st) Solon Stuckey b abt 1855 of Taylor Co, GA. They are in the 1880 Cedar Creek, Taylor, GA cens, as Solon Stuckey 25 GA GA GA farmer, Julia 23 GA GA GA, Emma age 6 GA. Another dau of Solon was Minnie age 4 GA in the 1880 census. A Minnie Stuckey md Joseph Franklin Worsham, however, according to the 1900 census her mother was Ella Stuckey b May 1857 GA. In 1880 Solon lived next to Sarah Stuckey 50 GA a widow. Solon age 4 is in the 1860 Taylor Co, GA cens with parents, William M Stuckey age 40 SC & Sarah L age 35 GA. Joe Branch, 2003, wrote the following: "...sometime after their youngest son was born in 1875, grand pa Jack remd. Lizzie Pursay Barfield may have had a sister Clair Johnson md a Barfield in this area and had two sons Willis and Sidney Barfield, cant find, wonder if she was kin to aunt Emma Worsham's husband Frank Robert Barfield, any way, she was called Aunt Puss, when they md, or a short while after my grand pa John W. {then known as John Collier Worsham} left home and took Aunt Julie Worsham latter Mrs George {Ned} McDonald, and uncle Robert Edgar with him, and went to live said Aunt Emma, or his sister, when Edgar was abt 12 yrs. old or less, and with the help of Aunt Emma he raised them, at the time he came to live with them, John W. slept on a newly picked pile of cotton on the porch. He took Edgar with him while he went to pick cotton, some said he also took Aunt Julia. but he picked cotton, cut cord wood and did what he had to to raise them, latter when Lizzie P Barfield Worsham had a son and named him Collier, my grand pa changed his name from John Collier Worshan to John W. Worsham and latter to Wishum, he also latter changed his birth day from 1872 to 4 July 1874 so they could celebrate the 4th, and lay by of the crops, and his birthday, and get the family together at the same time. … so you can see there was a family crisis at the time, we thought that g grand pa jack moved up to Americus or that Collier did … I don't know when ggpa Dan went back to Taylor co. but it was some time before 1910, it was said he was setting on the front porch, one evening, and looking way off, said I sure wish I was back in old Taylor co, tonight and sometime after he went back, my grandpa didn't go to the funeral, but his son, Ambrous, hired some to take him in a T Model Ford abt 1910, said they pushed it most of the way, because of wet clay roads, my mother thought grand ma Julie Johnson Worsham was bur. Near Sheep Hold Hill between Sylvester and Dole Ga in Worth co but I couldn't find her grave although I remember going to a farm where grand pa lived when I was abt age 7.where he must have moved shortly after him lost the old home place in the Bowen community and Hobby settlement."
