Notes |
- Was informant of info on death cert for Cleo Montie Emerson, her brother, in Pampa, Texas, on 1/24/1971.
She gave their mother's name as Lena Will. Why?
1900 census showed her name as Irla Emerson.

Hi Sherry,
I happily stumbled upon your website with info on the Samuel Emerson and Lena Wilhemina Frasher. They are the great-great-grandparents of my husband, who descends from their daughter Dora Gertrude Emerson (1st husband Charlie Cornelia White, 2nd husband John William Morgan).
Thank you for compiling all this info - are you a descendent as well?
The info I have, including some photos of the children of Samuel and Lena, is all on my ancestry.com tree. Let me know if you want me to send you the link. I have more info on Dora's descendants, if you are interested.
I noticed your question about Lena being listed sometimes on death certificates as "Lena Will" - I think this was an attempt to show her middle name as Lena Wilhemina.

Hi, Lori. So nice to hear from you!
I'm not related to this line. I got off on it on kind of wild goose chase working up my ex-'s line. His family was up in Pampa, as was Dora's brother Cleo Montie, a rancher, and his mom had briefly been married to a Will. So, I'm glad you are clearing this up for me. Seems odd, though, that her name would have been recorded that way.
This is going to be a very strange question - but do you happen to know if anyone in this Emerson line ever had their DNA tracked? For some reason the Emerson name is what came back in my son's DNA tests (as did the name Shelton... why???) where it should have come back "xxxxx." There's no connection to any Emerson (or Shelton) thus my looking around at some Emersons around the neighborhood, and poor Cleo was the only candidate. lol A comparison might be helpful one way or the other. Of course, there could be some totally different explanation.
And yes, I would love to have the link to your site.
Thanks!! I really appreciate your writing!
Sherry

but my husband did have both his maternal and paternal DNA tested. My husband's dad was Bob Ray White, and Dora Emerson was Bob's paternal grandmother. I have the DNA results attached to my ancestry trees, if that helps you any. I have two separate trees, one for my mother-in-law's family and one for my father-in-law's. Look at Bob Ray White and Eunice Irene Davis Miller to see the respective results.
