They are found in Charlton County in 1900, Clinch County, Ga. in 1910 and 1920, and Volusia County, FL in 1930. It appears her daughter, Thursey's family remained in Georgia when they migrated to Florida.

They had the following children:

  6. Pauline b. abt 1908
  7. Flora b. abt 1909
  8. Mary Lee b. abt 1912
Miriam and Eva may be the same person.

Emma M. b.7 Dec 1878, d. 12 May 1963 (The Crypt)
According to a forum post, her middle name was Mire.
m.
Though there is no record of the marriages, by some accounts, she was also married to a Carter and a Layton. More likely, the Carter and Layton children were born out of wedlock.

She had the following children (listed with their last names):
  1. Isabella Carter b. Jan 1897
    m. unknown Crews
    There are a couple of Charlton County Herald extracts at Okefenokee Press about Ezekiel Layton visiting with his sister, Mrs. Isabel Crews while on military leave.
  2. Ellen Ham b. May 1900
  3. Albert Layton b. abt 1905
  4. Ezekiel Layton b. abt 1908
I couldn't locate Emma, Isabella, and Ellen in census records after 1910. Albert and Ezekiel Leighton (sic), ages 15 and 12, are in the household of Jacob C. Carter in Charlton Co. in 1920 as "adopted sons."
