Mary Emma Babb, wife of Joseph Welch and John Castles
Posted by: Jerry Brooks (ID *****1870) Date: January 21, 2008 at 18:09:41
  of 1974

Seeking information on Mary Emma Babb (b. abt 1853 AL) who was married to Joseph Welch in Richland, Monroe Co. AR in 1880 Census. Joseph likely died because on Sept 24 1884 she married the young boarder living with them in 1880, John Castles (b. abt 1857 AR). When they married she was 29 and he was 26. They apparently divorced because in 1897 (White County, AR), John Castles married Mrs. Geneva Conley. After their divorce she married my GG Grandfather, Eli D. Hooper of Logan Co., AR about 1896 and moved to Logan County, AR. See following record:

MONROE COUNTY, ARKANSAS RECORDS
Emma Babb, 5/9/1896, release of dower right, pre-nuptial agreement between Emma Babb of Monroe County and Hooper of Logan County. Monroe County AR Book 3, p. 561
(Emma Babb was the 3rd wife of Eli D. Hooper. Her first two marriages were in Monroe County, AR.)

Am uncertain if her maiden name was Babb. One daughter married Sam Caplena of Richland, Monroe Co., AR.

Any help with Mary Emma's background and info will be appreciated.
