Grave recorded in 1956 by the Chief Tusquahoma Chapter D.A.R. for the series "Louisiana Tombstone Transcriptions", Volume I, Page 163.

There is a Georgia Head, daughter of D.F. and E.A. Head living in Bienville Parish on the 1880 census. She is five years old, which is the right age for this Georgia. Online family trees show her father to be Rev. Dallas F. Head (buried in Liberty also). Her death certificate abstract (on familysearch) states her mother was Minnie Colbert.

Ouachita Parish marriage indexes show "Georgie" Head married Henry T. Camp in Ouachita Parish February 26, 1891. Another citation shows a Mrs. Georgie Camp married Henry Camp September 28, 1894. It is unknown at this time why there are two marriage dates. (2-27-2023 Update: A Findagrave user suggested the following: Henry T. Camp and Henry Camp were first cousins. They married sisters Georgia and Minnie Head. One cousin died and one sister died. The widower and widow married and had 5 sons.)

The 1900 Ouachita census shows Georgia and husband Henry with sons Wayne B., Samson S. and Nicholas Camp. She was the mother of 4 children, but only three were still living.

By the 1910 census, there were two more sons: Patrick and Colbert. She shows she is the mother of 5 children and all five are still living, which disputes the previous census.
