Emily Caroline Harless

From the Harless web page at Ancestry.com

Effie May Shay was born circa 1841 in Georgia. She married Thomas Stebwell Harless, son of John Harless and Catherine Moser. It has them having five children together.

From Find a grave.com.Birth: 1841 Georgia, USA Death: 1887 Madison County Alabama, USA (This is a memorial to Emily Caroline (Saylor) Harless who lived near New Hope Cemetery and although her gravestone has not been found it is possible that she is buried here).

Emily married Thomas S. Harless April 26, 1868 after the death of his first wife, Eleanor. It is said that Emily was a young widow whose first husband had died a few months after the wedding; therefore it is uncertain if Saylor her maiden name or her name by her first marriage. Records indicate that Emily and her parents were from Georgia. Thomas and Emily lived in the New Hope, Alabama area. Their children were Mary Susan, Charles Thomas, Emily Caroline (Emma), and Jesse S. Harless. The dates of Emily's birth and death are approximate. This recorded on Find a grave by Sam Sproles, her g-g-grandson.

All matches with Ancestry.com but first and maiden name. e is right that he may have first marriage name as her maiden and Shay maybe correct. Effie maybe a nickname for Emily.
