| Story | 2 September 1952 | The following data is from a letter from Mrs. Winnie Daugherty, of Tina, Missouri. September 2, 1952: My mother, Robbie Ann Calloway McCollow, was the daughter of Eliza Ann Humphress (Jeffries) Calloway. Eliza Ann was my own grandmother, altho, • she died before I was born. My mother has a record of all the children of Elijah Jeffries. Mother was 85 years old on March 6, 1952, the only member of that family living. My mother tells me that there were six children from the first marriage, and, six from the second marriage. My mother was the sixth child of the first marriage. Her mother, Lucy Pettit, died when she was three weeks old. Mrs. Marshall, a neighbor, and her daughter, Elizabeth, took her and her sister, Lucy Jane, to raise after the death of their mother. Within three months after the death of the first wife, Lucy, Elijah Jeffries married his neighbor, Miss Elizabeth Marshall, and, therefore, took his little girls back home with him and their new mother.2 |
