Emma Grace and Henry are the paternal great-grandparents of your author (Hank Rogers).
She was a mother of two at 18 years old when she married Henry. In their marriage licence it states Henry and Gracie were both from Tupelo, Jackson Co, AR. I was previously told by their daughter Henrietta (my grandmother) that they were married 1923 in Bebe, White Co., AR. With the discovery of the marriage licence we now know that was incorrect.
Emma Grace's third husband was Jesse Mann, whom she was married but a short time.
Emma Grace and Jesse divorced and Jesse married her daughter Henrietta.
Jesse's birth info comes from his marriage licence to Emma Grace, which is taken more as factual than any info given at his death, as his children really didn't know.
I had been previously listing her place of birth as Roddy, Rhea Co., TN as her daughter Henrietta told me that Emma Grace was born in Roddy Glenn, TN. On her marriage licence to Jesse Mann she states she was born in Spring City, TN. That is what is now listed.
Interesting to note that she also lied about her age by 6 years, stating she was 30 marring a 22 year old, when in fact she was 36.
Gracie was quite the character. She had some kind of earth spiritualism that some called witchcraft, but was more in fact like shamanism, or old fashioned wives cures for common ailments. She could buy a wart from you for a penny and she could tell the sex of a baby in the womb. With Indian ancestry in her I'm sure the women in her family passed down stories and hill country remedies.
She grew beautiful roses and other flowers in addition to bountiful vegetable gardens.
She could be mean and controlling at times and she had a temper, but if she liked you, you were like part of the family.
She liked to move around a lot, and was social. She liked to go out, although not always to the best places. She finally settled in a little house on Smart Street in Pine Bluff, AR.
She had a stroke and passed from this life at Jefferson Regional Hospital in Pine Bluff.
