She lived in both Austin and Dallas, Texas. Aunt Mary J. E. Duncan married 3 times: Lewis Gross and had Licata, Allen & Perlina; Wm W Draper and had Dora and George and there was another marriage to a Drake because in Texas she was living with her daughter Miss Elizabeth Drake in Austin. Aunt Mary was a teacher and a clerk. Elizabeth too. I don´t think she ever married. I have no other info about any other kids yet. (Cathy James, 13 Nov 2012)
