GENEALOGY: This information is speculation based on age and location. I found two marriage records and a death certificate that show George’s life after the Civil War. He was married to Lettie [Letty] James and then Fanny Kelly. His parents were Mark Christian Mapp and Ada Bailey. He had a brother by the name of Horace Mapp who lived with George in 1880 and again 1900. Horace also was listed on his death certificate. I did not find any children listed for George or his wives.
