Seeking information on the family of Harriet AMASON/AMERSON found in the 1850 census of Union Co. AR. Harriet had three male children living with her:Wm. (William T.) age 9 born in AL, Christopher age 7 born in AL, and Sandy (probably Stanley), age 3 born in AL. We believe Harriet's husband was Isaac AMASON/AMERSON and that they married in Montgomery County, Alabama. We believe Harriet's husband died about 1848 (in Ouachita Co. AR?). The family of Jesse AMASON lives nearby and we believe they are related also. Jesse's family is later located in Bradley and Calhoun Counties. AMASON is also sometimes spelled as AMISON, AMOSON, and even EM(M)ERSON. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
