John J. Amburgey 1794–1884 b in NC, (son of John Amburgey and Elizabeth Hammons 1769-1857)
and
Aily Hammons Grizzle 1798–1887 b in Rus County, VA (dau of Elizabeth Hammons 1771-1843 and John H. Grizzle).
Aily was born in Russell County, VA when her parents were 38/33. She had 8 or 9 siblings. She married Noah Counts on March 10, 1853, in Russell Co, VA.
Their children were:
1. Isabel Victoria Counts 1854–1924
2. Margaret Counts 1856–1952
3. Elihu Kiser Counts 1857–1947
4. John "Black" Letcher Counts
1861–1944
5. Eliza Jane Counts 1863–1942
6. Joshua Washington Clinton Counts 1866–1951
7. Elijah Shelby Counts 1868–1953
8. Nancy Counts 1870–1926
9. Martha Violet Counts 1873–1907
10. Noah Tilden Counts 1876–1957
On 1/22/24, while researching a different Noah Counts I came across a birth registry for a Tildah Counts born on February 10, to a Noah Counts and Mahalia. This may be proof and is attached hereto, that Aily's actual name may have been Mahalia and her nickname was Aily. Wow. However, we cannot make out the year due to the poor quality of the document. The only child that matches the date is their child, Joshua Clintonbut not the name (Tildah) but we believe the category for male or female, has been checked for both, which makes it further difficult to ascertain if this is correct. We just submit this here for the record.
