Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.

Wordless Wednesday Willie Scott and Doll
Willie Scott and his first wife Doll
Willie was the son of Frank Scott and Mary Lou McDaniel.
Willie was born in Feb 1930, died in Nov 2008.
My mother and Willie share a great grandfather, James Markham, but do not share the same great grandmother. James was married to Marilda Whitney, my mother's great grandmother, and Jane McCray, Willie's great grandmother. Family Tree Maker describes them as half second cousins.

What a great picture! I love Doll's pose
ReplyDeleteDoll's persona suits her name.
DeletePretty snazzy glasses she has there. What is a half cousin? the child of a parents half sibling?
