11. | Terreca Amaminta Mariah (T.A.M.) Gates was born Oct 1846, Clarke Co. AL; died Aft 1920, Monroe Co. AL. Notes:
Her first name is also given as Terreca or Terise. Her middle name appears as Araminta, Arminta or Aramanta. In one census she goes by her intials T.A.M, then in others she is Marie, Maria or Minnie, short of Arminta. However, I have it on good authority from her granddaughter, Berrylynn Morgan Freeby, that her name was Terreca Amaminta Mariah.
