I am looking to see if I can extend the Parker branch of my family tree. I am a descendant of Emma Frances Parker (1871-1915). She and her husband Thomas Jefferson Wansley (1849-1936) are great grandparents of mine. Emma Frances was Thomas Jefferson Wansley's second wife, after M. Ann Taylor (1853-1882). William Jefferson Wansley had six children with M Ann Taylor, and then another six children with Emma Frances Parker. Emma Frances and Thomas Jefferson's daughter Willie Mabel Wansley (1902-1971) and Clifton L. Smith (1899-1972) are grandparents of mine.
Here is what I have presently on Emma Frances Parker:
EMMA FRANCES PARKER was born March 10, 1871, and died August 26, 1915. She married THOMAS JEFFERSON WANSLEY August 28, 1890, son of REUBEN WANSLEY and MARTHA HINTON. He was born December 11, 1849 in Mississippi, and died January 15, 1936.
Notes for EMMA FRANCES PARKER:
One child died (of flu?) in World War I.
Children of EMMA PARKER and THOMAS WANSLEY are:
i. JOHNNIE VELPO WANSLEY, b. July 15, 1893; d. October 13, 1918. Influenza death, from going off to fight in WWI? Funeral in barn back home?
ii. AVA WANSLEY, b. March 25, 1896; d. October 29, 1978; m. JOSEPH WHITE SMITH, September 12, 1912; b. December 27, 1881; d. June 28, 1978. 5 children: JOREE (1915-?), RAYMOND EDWARD (1919-1998), MAURINE C. (1921-1981 m Chaney), EVELYN (1925- m Jenkins), and ROBERTA (1929- m Drew, then Williams).
